i think pick up techniques would work on some women and others no i tell you why they may not work for some as it may be classed as over confident/cocky and that is not always an attractive trait

I’ve been avoiding this thread cos I dislike the idea that people are so lacking in social skills that they need someone to ‘teach’ them to pick up women, or (from the book titles above) get them into bed. Kind of goes hand in hand with that idea that if one uses some kind of chemical pheromone they’ll ‘pull’.

But there you go, the words horses and courses spring to mind.

The horse for my course is natural emotional and physical attraction. And if there isn’t any attraction in the first place, then it’s not really worth the effort. I don’t see the point in ‘pulling’ someone by manipulating their mind or fooling them into thinking you’re someone or something that you’re not (which is basically what these articles and books are about, depending on ones point of view). In a nutshell, it’s a pretty shallow way of getting laid. In addition, it seems to me that this is more an exercise of being able to 'pull' someone who might usually be out of one's reach, thus becoming a game to boost an ego. Bed post notching also springs to mind.

Okay Stoney, I'll give you the best possible tip for 'picking up women', and you'll do well to follow it...

...Don't be a social retard.

There you go. If you're not up to your neck in shepherd's daughters in a fortnight I'll give you your money back.
