Ever wonder why some guys are so much better than others at picking up women? It’s not because they’re better looking, smarter or have bigger bank accounts. What they do have going for them are two things, confidence and persistence.
While some men might have these characteristics naturally, you don’t need to have been born a Don Juan to be successful at picking up women. You do, however, need a few guidelines.
Here are several rules women want men to know. Your new self-assured, gentlemanly attitude will not only give you an edge with women but allow you to sweep them off their feet.
Do your research, survey the area. You’ll notice which women are looking to meet someone.
As obvious as it may seem, a woman who is looking around at men in the room is probably going to be more receptive than a woman who is only paying attention to the friends she came with. Remember, a woman divulges a lot in her body language. If you want to increase your odds, pay attention.Make preliminary eye contact from a distance. See how she responds. If she holds your gaze — or even better, if she smiles — go talk to her. If she avoids your gaze your chances are slim. Making and receiving her eye contact is among the most important pickup rules women want men to know.
The worst thing you can do is hit on more than one woman in the same social circle. In order to successfully pick up a woman, you have to make her feel special. Hitting on or expressing interest in her friends will not make her feel special. It make you seem like a player. So, even though you might be attracted to more than one woman in the group, pick one, and stick with her.
Women will go for a man for one reason and one reason only. How he makes her feel. Make her feel like the most beautiful girl in the room, chances are she’ll want to see you again. This will work in your favor in the long run too. If she’s confident and comfortable with you, you’ll reap the benefits in all aspects of the relationship.
You might think it’s not worth your while to approach that beautiful girl standing in the corner, who’s heard it all. Consider this: Most guys think the same thought. Often, the prettiest girls get their share of cat-calls on the street, but they don’t get approached by many nice, genuine guys. Don’t be intimidated or assume she’s heard it all before because she hasn’t heard it from you. Keep it simple, she’ll probably be grateful for some pleasant, sincere conversation.
Never, use them. Using a cliche line will do one of two things. Make you look like you’re trying too hard or make you seem inexperienced with women, which is even worse. Instead, keep it simple and try to be sincere. You’ll cut through the formalities and stand out from all the men who do use lines—and yes, there are many who still do.
In a bar or a nightclub a woman is used to being approached by men, she’ll have her guard up. In nightclubs, as women are expecting to be picked up, they form a defensive shield against unwanted men. This will obviously work against you. She may reject you simply because you approached her right after a man who annoyed her or you were last in a long line of men to talk to her.
Approach her in other places where you’ll have the element of surprise to your advantage. She won’t be expecting to get picked up and might be pleasantly surprised by your gesture in a supermarket or a coffee shop. Having said that, be mindful of approaching a woman who is shopping in sweatpants and appears in a rush — she probably won’t make the best audience.
There is nothing worse than a clingy guy. Reading her body language is not only important to gauge when she’s interested, but to determine when to walk away. Is she giving you eye contact, or are her eyes wandering around the room? Does she look bored by the conversation? If you are giving her your best, most sincere maneuvers and she is still not responding, cut your losses and move on.
What if she is giving you all the good signs? Don’t overstay your welcome. Leave the conversation on a high note, you’ll only leave her wanting more.
Remember, even the most successful pickup artists get rejected. The secret to their success? Despite constant rejections, they continue to approach women. Call it being thick-skinned or just plain persistent, a certain amount of it is required in this department.
So, don’t let yourself get down because of the odd rejection. Often, a woman’s rejection will have nothing to do with you at all — she may be in a bad mood, or seeing someone already. However, if you follow the rules, your odds of success — as well as your collection of phone numbers — will soar.
