Hurricanekid - these things work if the woman is already interested in the man or easily manipulated. If he's cute and funny, I've teased back and joked along to see if he has anything better to offer than a one liner. On occasion, you can find someone witty, but most of these guys flail as soon as you test them.

It is brilliant in its own right, but if you really know what youre doing, there isnt much need for it.
Actually, no, it doesn't. It basically works on extremely lonely, very drunk, young, inexperienced girls who want it to work because they think if someone boffs them, that must mean they are worth something after all. That much is true, sorry, Ascension.

But why listen to us, OP? Give it a shot yourself. Let us know how it all works out for you. Does it really matter which of us say it "works" and which of us say it doesn't? Prove or disprove it for yourself if you're curious.

I will be very interested to hear how tremendously these "tried-and-true, basic gender dynamics" of unattractive, goofy guys leaning intrusively over drunk women and "negging" them works for you. After all, the only thing that trumps having few social skills, no respect and a view of women as things is having few social skills, no respect and a view of women as things and then saying insulting things to them. Instant "in," I'm sure.

Please do report back and I'm quite serious about that, would love to hear what happens. You will honestly never believe any of us here until you try it for yourself so you may as well. You pretty much have nothing to lose, I'd say.

Yup. If she's already interested in the man, pretty much anything will work, so to speak, because she's encouraging the interaction.

Not interested + being intruded on + being insulted with a nervous giggle + a request for a number: not so much.

Listen, if I ever find a single woman, who describes herself as "extremely lonely, very drunk, young, inexperienced girl" then i will give your post any thought. Every woman ive ever talked to, claimed she is not like that, when in reality they all for the same crap. Be real.

these girls aren't showing up on a C-D relationship board. But there's plenty of them over on FB. I've rejected enough guys that flailed after their failed attempt at a pick-up line to know that the Pick-up lines aren't golden passes. Not enough swagger in the world is going to make up for a guy that can't banter nicely. Using someone else's lines doesn't work.

I dont like PUA for several reasons, have never used it nor spent a penny on any of their materials, but I recognize that some of the principles they teach are very sound and work like a charm, on pretty much every woman (even those that claim they arent like that). For example a concept of negging is extremely effective in most all pick up situations, or concept of kino, ie creating physical contact by touching etc etc. Those and many other conepts are very, very effective when it comes to approaching women. It will never change.

I’m skeptical, to say the least. What DOES work, evidently, is the honing of one’s persona, such that other people (men and women) become comfortable finding themselves in conversation with the practitioner of the “art”. It’s general people skills, or if you will, the projection of emotional intelligence. To the extent that such self-development is subsumed by the general term “pick up art”, then all the best to them. Otherwise, a better place to see good examples of pick-up would be at your local Dodge dealer. I hear that the diesels are especially improved this year.

Yes, that's true. Every woman is exactly like every other woman.

Bwah!

And go figure, it works exactly the same way at the Dodge dealer as it does in a "pick-up situation," if we already wanted the car anyway we ignore the fact that the dealer is a finesse-less slimeball and just take the car; if we don't want the car, we capitalize on the fact that the dealer is a finesse-less slimeball as an excuse to get away fast.

Well, except for us women, of course. We all fall for "the same crap" because, well, we're just stoooooooooopid. All of us.
