The Professional Players Club

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

I have always got a real buzz from coaching the guys in the art of pick up and seduction but something was missing. Took a while to realise it had been too random and without real structure unless it was a scheduled bootcamp.

I then came up with the PPC (Professional Players Club) concept.

www.professionalplayersclub.com

Drawing from my experience teaching and sitting on grading panels in the martial arts, I had formulated a way to drastically improve the standard of [b]YOUR [/b]game.

Time and time again, my email inbox and mobile phone is bombarded with messages from guys saying ‘hey Ice, up for some daygame this week?’.

Sometimes I meet up with a guy, sometimes I don’t, depending on how busy I am or the mood I am in.

When I do meet someone, after the initial half-hour of approach anxiety, etc, we make some progress. Then I don’t see the guy again for months.
 The standard is back to square one. There is no consistency, and that is what pains me.

It hurts me when I see guys at the same standard now as they were 6 months ago.

It’s not their fault, in order to perfect a skill, be it the martial arts or the venusian arts, repeated practice is needed on a consistent, committed basis.

Ever heard the story of the hare and the tortoise? Well I want you to be the tortoise - ultimate winners.

Bootcamps are great - short bursts of intensity, but after they are over, then what? It’s like going to a martial arts seminar and expecting to be able to deliver the goods.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a Venusian Arts Club, like we have Martial Arts Clubs or Gym Memberships?

A weekly committment which we HAVE to fit into our schedule, come hell or high water.

So, I had decided to set up the ‘Professional Player’s Club’. Staff was a key player both in setting up the website and as an instructor.

The Professional Players Club concept

Why do students of martial arts improve and blast through their sticking points, throughout the world?What if they only trained once every 2 months? Would they make the same progress?

No of course they would not!

I proposed getting together a select group of committed and enthusiastic guys, who I would teach the game to for two hours per week, EVERY WEEK.

Make no mistake, they were pushed as hard, if not harder than I push my martial arts students. I have personally seen and taught beginners in the martial arts to a high level, I was expecting to see my first three black belts promoted in spring 2008.

I wanted you to gain your black belt in seduction.

Staff, Chance and I taught the guys as a normal class, starting with good warmup routines, repeated practice, correction, wash, rinse, repeat, until their body language, tonality and gestures were those of a professional pick up artist. The guys were monitored and given feedback, demonstrations were performed, similar to martial arts class.

Each week was progressive, and was in the students best interests to ensure adequate attendance. Most of the guys were regular attenders.

They were also give homework assignments to complete.

The program was developed to ensure you to push yourself, and force consistency plus continual and steady improvement.

The Professional Players Club ran successfully for several months but was too demanding on my time as in full time study, working part time etc. I had the framework of an e-book simmering away and realised that would be a more efficient way to share my knowledge and with a bigger audience. Real Attraction Secrets was underway……..

Scotland’s Top PUA

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
*Posted by Chance
———————————————————————————————————————
Scotland’s Top PUA List - 2007

1/ IceDragon
Not only has this Scottish mPUA got extremely tight game, he is constantly setting up new projects and innovating. Apart from his legendary FRs, arguably, no-one has done more to further the interests of the Scottish Community than IceDragon during the past three years.

2007 was undoubtedly his year. Organising Scotland’s most successful seduction seminar, and joining Alpha Interactions as an instructor, IceDragon is going from strength to strength, and is giving no hint of letting up in 2008.

Using his connections to bring the cream of UK seduction to Scotland, the whole Scottish community wouldn’t be where it is without IceDragon, and the Scotland Lair would not be Scotland’s biggest pickup forum today.

Voted Scotland’s Top PUA by his peers in 2006, and the only mPUA in the UK to run weekly seduction workshops, it looks like IceDragon will at least be in the top six for years to come. Also named Scotland’s Top PUA by the List Magazine.

2/ Ciaran
Formerly known as Dr Jekyll, Ciaran has one of the strongest inner games I have seen. He has a natural style, and like IceDragon, but on a smaller scale, he is also constantly innovating, developing his ‘Shock and Awe’ style. He is now working as an instructor for a commercial pickup company, Real Social Dynamics (RSD). The reason Ciaran lost out to IceDragon for first place is due to the fact that although the strength of his game can be argued to be as good as IceDragon’s, he hasn’t contributed to the development and furtherance of the Scottish community as IceDragon has. However, 2008 can be Ciaran’s year, provided he continues developing new material, and contributes to the development of the Scottish community as a whole.

3/ Mist
Mist played a key admin role in the old lair , and the Scottish community are grateful for the resources he has provided, to further our knowledge. Mist became an Alpha Interactions instructor in 2007, and got great reviews from the students that he taught. With incredible field skills and powerful inner game, Mist fully deserves to be in the top 3 PUA list.

4/ Staff
Vastly experienced in the skills of NLP and seduction, Staff has been the dark horse of 2007. Assisting IceDragon in establishing the Professional Player’s Club, he has evolved into a fine seduction instructor, and mentor to many beginners in the community. Staff’s innovative Amoging methods have been widely praised throughout the Scottish community (due to his military experience), Staff can open and hook any set, mixed or otherwise, instantly ‘destroying’ any other male presence, so that all the females are riveted to him. It has to be witnessed to understand. He was also there to pick up the slack when the Scotland Lair hit rock bottom and quickly set up the current forum early this year. It is highly probable that Staff will break into the top three by the end of 2008.

5/ Sundance Kid
Sundance Kid’s blogs are required reading. Tirelessly testing out his skills in field, and detailing his adventures, Sundance Kid is a beacon to aspire to. Watch this guy in 2008.

6/ Richie
One of the original members of the old Scotland Lair, former RSD instructor, hanging out with the likes of Loverboy and Hoobie, Richie is now back in the scene, helping out IceDragon with his innovative teaching methods. Slowly but surely, Richie’s old moves are coming back, and his hunger for teaching is returning.

7/ Demo
Edinburgh pickup artist and Alpha Interactions Approach Coach, Demo has instructed under Ciaran’s watchful eye, and is developing into a formidable force in Scotland. Still very young, but it is predicted that he will develop into Scotland’s premier pickup instructor within a couple of years.

8/ Mrozinski
Exciting new pickup artist to emerge from Scotland in 2007. Tight skills, and a high consistency level. He is in this list due to closing some of Scotland’s hottest FHM models.

9/ Buchy
Alongside Richie, this old school Scottish PUA is now coming back on the scene, helping out IceDragon at the PPC.

10/ Johnny Blaze
Has been very quiet during 2007 due to other commitments. However, Johnny Blaze started off the New Scotland Lair, has extremely tight game, and deserves a permanent place in the Scottish Top Ten. Hopefully we will see a lot more of Johnny Blaze in 2008, and he will come up with some new material. He made Alpha Interactions Approach Coach towards the tail end of last year, and hopes to instruct in his first Alpha Interactions bootcamp this year.

Other Scottish PUAs to watch out for, Buddha, Jedi, Scipio, MadMan, Junior and Yata

Pickup Girls during the day or night!

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

You can Pickup Girls during the day or night. This is an awesome article by my friend ‘Soul’, who is an instructor for Love Systems.

Check it out!

IceDragon

1. Guys generally get more approach anxiety approaching girls in the daytime than they do at night.

People always think, “Isn’t it weird to approach girls in the day? Aren’t they busy? Aren’t they going to tell you to f*ck off?” The truth is it’s no less weird than approaching people you don’t know to talk to them in a bar. I used to think girls were going to react really badly, when in fact, they probably react better in the daytime than they do at night. At night, they expect guys to be drunk and hit on them, but in the daytime, it happens to them much less often and thus they are impressed by your confidence and willingness to take risks. Like all approach anxiety, the only way to overcome this is to man up and go open them!

2. Direct openers are much more necessary in Day Game than night game.

There are a lot of venue considerations in Day Game (see below), but in many situations, particularly in street game, it can come across as really bizarre to stop a random girl and ask her opinion on something. In a bar, you could feasibly be having a conversation with your mates, and want to ask someone nearby their opinion, but in the daytime it comes across as less congruent. Direct openers work fantastically well on the street, e.g. “Excuse me, I just saw you walking past and thought you looked absolutely beautiful! I know this is really forward of me but I just had to say hello. How are you?” Direct Openers are also massively important for moving sets. Contrary to what most people think, it is ridiculously easy to stop moving sets (most of my sets are girls walking past me), you just need to be committed enough to your Direct opener. When you open a moving set, stop, plant yourself right on the ground where you are and deliver the opener. Do NOT start moving as they are moving, wait for them to stop. If they don’t stop, it will be creepy to follow them.

3. Day Game involves a greater variety of venues than night game. These venues are mainly differentiated by the levels of Social Pressure they involve.

You have the streets (my favourite), cafés, bookstores, art galleries, college campuses etc. Every venue or situation is slightly different, so you will need to develop good social calibration so you don’t creep girls out. The biggest factor to be aware of is Social Pressure. The more other people can listen to your interaction with a woman, the higher the Social Pressure will be, and the more potentially uncomfortable the girl will feel. In high social pressure situations, your job is three-fold. First, don’t go too Direct, either open indirectly or tone down your Direct opener (e.g. “That’s a lovely dress, how you doing?”). Second, have a strong frame of feeling comfortable in the interaction. The strongest frame always wins: You feeling comfortable talking to her will make her relax. If you are nervous, she will start to feel uncomfortable. The truth is, feeling this comfortable only comes with time and practice. But remember, she can’t see how you feel inside, only how you act on the outside. Third, make her laugh. If you can tease her or otherwise make her laugh within the first thirty seconds of the interaction, she will instantly relax – the interaction is then suddenly a fun bit of banter with a stranger instead of being accosted by some creepy guy on the subway.

4. Super hot girls are MUCH easier to open in the daytime.

You know how the super hot girls get hit on a lot in bars and clubs? There is one reason why: Alcohol. It normally starts happening after everyone is liquored up. In the sober light of day (and without all their buddies to back up their testosterone levels), most guys are shit scared of the uber hottie walking down the street. They will gawp at her, but God forbid they summon the stones to go up to her and say hello. Direct game works really well in the daytime with super hotties. You’ll be surprised at how many of them will turn around to you and say, “Oh my God, that’s so nice of you, no one has ever stopped me on the street to say that!”

5. You can get into Comfort much more quickly in Day Game than night game.

The fact that you have approached her in the daytime already demonstrates a lot of value; if you went Direct (good on ya!), then this is even more pronounced. Attraction building should happen in a matter of minutes. As soon as she’s laughing and enjoying the interaction, stop thinking about attraction and start thinking about qualifying and building comfort. You’ll need to escalate things as part of this. The easiest way to escalate the interaction on the street is to ask her which way she is headed, and suggest that you walk with her for a few minutes to chat. You can add in a, “I don’t want go dress shopping or anything like that with you though – that would be kinda gay - so I’ll probably head off in a few minutes!” This works exactly like a false time constraint. You are reducing the pressure in the situation.

6. Day Game approaches are often less expected by women and can take them by surprise.

This is a double edged sword. On the one hand, as mentioned above it causes guys to have more anxiety when daytime approaching, and they sometimes equate the surprise that girls will get with her being weirded out. On the other hand, because she is surprised, you have just spiked her emotions and therefore, if you run the interaction well, this turns into a massive positive for you. Not to mention that fact that very rarely do guys approach women on the street, so when you do approach her she will be more impressed and more likely to remember you positively (therefore LESS likely to flake than a night game set). The best way to handle the surprise/shock factor she may experience (especially if you use a Direct opener) is to acknowledge the situation, e.g. “I know this is really forward of me… but I was going to regret it all day if I didn’t stop you and say hello,” or, “This is very bold of me, but I thought you looked absolutely stunning, and I don’t believe in letting opportunities pass you by.”

7. It is harder to get a Same Day Lay than a Same Night Lay.

The reason why this is true is because of logistics, not because of social conventions (which is what you might have expected). If your game is good enough, you can bend social conventions to your whim, but once you get good, the biggest problem you spend most of your time overcoming is logistics. The fact is, girls will tend to be more busy and in the middle of doing other things in the daytime, so often you will only be able to take a phone number, build some comfort, and then move on. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be on the lookout for Same Day Lays!! In the ideal situation, you meet the girl and take her on a series of venue changes than end up back at your place. More commonly, there will be an “interrupt”, where she has to go home to eat or meet friends etc. In these cases you can still try to get her to come out to a party with you that night. Guys, you need to get out of the mentality that Day Game is just about taking phone numbers: You are trying to seduce these women not just get their digits. Set up the instant date if you can (e.g. take her for a coffee, then a drink, then a walk, then your place), or arrange to meet her later that day if you can. As mentioned above though, this all depends on what else she has got going on that day. Welcome to the wonderful world of logistical management!

8. You often have less time to demonstrate value to the girl than in night game.

Some girls you open will be in a rush to get somewhere, just about to meet friends, or may not have the time or inclination to talk to a random (albeit fun and interesting) stranger in the middle of the day.  Because you are not in a bar, chances are she is not going to see you talking to other people (i.e. no opportunity for social proof). In the daytime therefore, you typically have a very small window of opportunity to make a good first impression: You must present yourself as well as humanly possible. Leave the house ready to meet women. Wear nice clothes, style your hair, and wear good shoes (don’t wear your tatty trainers, homeboy). All of these things will encourage her to response positively to her when you stop her in the middle of the street.

9. Groups of women seem more difficult to approach even though they really are not.

It is not true that you can’t run Direct Game on groups of women, and it is not true that you can’t open groups of women in the daytime. Your strategy with a group should be either to pull all of them to another venue with you (typically again, there will be an interrupt, but you can invite them somewhere later that night), or to open the girl you want, build some comfort with the whole group (so they approve of you and allow you to pick up the girl you want), and then start escalating with your chosen girl. Escalation in front of the group might be as simple as taking her number, finding out some stuff about her and qualifying her a little.

This of course is not everything there is to know about Day Game, but I’ve covered some of the most salient points here that I think a lot of people miss about this fine art.

The most important thing guys, is to take action. I have sarged with so many people who excel in night game, but choke in the daytime. You need to be willing to take action TODAY, not tomorrow, not the day after. Procrastination is the world’s greatest sin. You will find that once you force yourself to open a few daytime sets, your skills and experience in other areas will rapidly transfer across. It’s just being willing to burst through that barrier.

Day Game for Newbies

Doing Day Game can be scary at first. Here’s a few tasks to ease you into it if you’re having trouble.  These tasks are progressively harder, but will demonstrate to you that people are a lot friendlier and pleasant in the daytime than you might expect. Rather than complicate it with group sets at this point, start off with women who are by themselves.

• Ask 5 beautiful women, “Excuse me, do you know what the time is?”
• Ask 5 beautiful women, “Excuse me, do you know where the nearest coffee shop is?
• Ask 5 beautiful women, “Excuse me, do you know where the nearest men’s fashion store is? [She replies]. Oh thanks, I’m trying to get some new shirts. You’re very well dressed, do you have any tips for me?”
• Tell 5 beautiful women, “Excuse, I just saw you walking past and I thought you were really cute, I had to stop and say hello. How are you?”

After you’ve completed these tasks, you are ready to move onto standard transitioning and attraction building etc.

Good luck fellas!

Pickup Girls - Setting up a first date in a Hotel Room!

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

A Scottish Pickup Artist, Platinum King, wrote this article. Teaches you how to Pickup Girls and bring them back to your hotel room.

IceDragon

——————————————————————————————————————————-

This is a technique which I have used time and time again with consistent success.

In order for it to work, first of all, you need to believe 100% in what you are saying, and have an ultra strong frame, so don’t come moaning to me if it backfires. Work on your own frame and try again till you get it right. Maybe it only works for me, but, I’ll tell you guys about it and you can choose what you want to do.

First of all, you have to have a good connection with the girl, build lots of comfort on the phone, build trust and commonalities.

What I then do is this. I tell the girl that I want to spend some one on one time with her. I tell her that I don’t want to watch a movie for a couple of hours just so that I can spend some time with her, I don’t want to go for a meal, or sit in a bar, with other people, and sit in one place. I don’t have a car, and I don’t have my own place. I don’t want to walk about in the cold streets of whatever town she chooses to meet.

I tell her that I’ll book a hotel room, and we can go there and sit, talk and get to know each other.

Intitially she will not want to go along with the idea, as her ‘anti-slut defence’ comes into play, so you have to be ready, sharp and counter it with lightening fast, kick ass responses.

You say “I’m comfortable with myself, and I can trust myself not to do anything, is it me you don’t trust or is it yourself? Are you scared you’ll be unable to control yourself? You know you’re well enough to know you’re not in the presence of a serial killer or some mad rapist, so it must be yourself you don’t trust?”

She will give you some more shit tests and bullshit. So, you just joke and say something like “Why, don’t you find me attractive, do you think you will be able to control yourself?”

Eventually, if your frame is strong enough, she will crumble and agree to meet you. Women love a man who knows what he wants, and who lives in his own reality. She will want to enter your reality. After all, you’re only going to the hotel room to talk in privacy, and really get to know each other. At the back of her mind she knows the two of you will have sex. Only, under the pretext of talking with no distractions, in a calm, private environment.

Women want sex more that men.

But, it should not be their fault. She must not appear to be a slut, at any cost.

She will appreciate the fact that you think she is special and you want to spend quality time with her alone, without any distractions.

I’ve brought you this far, and if you can’t get a fuck-close out of this situation, it’s your own fault.

p.s. this may only apply if one does not have a motor vehicle to park up and talk in or a residence which he can take her to. Also, it is crucial that you make her aware that if she was being invited to his premises she wouldn’t feel as bad. As we all know, a hotel room has a stigma attached to it. Try to take the ’stigma’ out of the hotel room. The hotel room is a substitute for your own place.

Make yourself believe this. This is vital. Go out and Pickup Girls.

Pickup Girls - Neil Strauss Interview

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Neil Strauss is a master of how to Pickup Girls. Here’s an interview, in which I also got a mention.

A bit about Neil Strauss, he is the best selling author of the book, the Game, and a thoroughly nice guy.

I hope you enjoy this article, which can be found in it’s original source, the List magazine:

http://www.list.co.uk/article/6152-pick-up-techniques-interview-with-neil-strauss/

Kirstin Innes talks tactics with Legendary seducer Neil Strauss, and explores Scotland’s fastest-growing seduction subculture

IceDragon, Scotland’s number one PUA (pickup artist), is trying to lock me into conversation. However, he’s quickly surrounded. Deep Vertigo has perched at his shoulder and five other members of the Glasgow lair are hovering on the fringes. Chance, 20 years old and ‘peacocked’ (see below for glossary of terms) up to the nines in a floor-length brocade coat and a smudge of eyeliner, stretches himself out in the chair next to me, and begins, slowly to take over the interview, employing light ‘kino’ tactics and not breaking eye contact as he turns my questions back on me. The others lose interest and drift off. They’ve been ‘AMOGged’.

Despite the codes, the ‘lairs’ and the silly names, I’m not online in Second Life, World of Warcraft or any other gaming fantasyland. I’m in Waterstone’s on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street. Chance, IceDragon, and Deep Vertigo, all of whom have asked me to use their PUA nicknames (‘we don’t want what we do to affect our normal lives,’ says Chance), are certainly all engaged in a game, but it’s composed of calculated conversational routines and secret weapons, it happens in the real world, and the objective is not to slay Orcs or vanquish trolls, but to seduce as many women as possible.

The PUAs are ‘sarging’ me in Waterstone’s, rather than a sticky, darkened corner of a bar or a club, because Neil Strauss is giving a reading. Back in 2005, Strauss was best known as a mild-mannered, LA-based music journalist for the New York Times and Rolling Stone. Then he published The Game, a personal narrative describing his ascension from AFC (average frustrated chump) with little sexual experience or confidence, to seduction community royalty. Strauss, or ‘Style’, as he became known, was voted number one PUA in the world three years in a row.

‘I didn’t get into it for reasons of manipulation, or power,’ Strauss says, when we meet for a drink at his hotel prior to the reading. ‘It was something I did because I wasn’t happy with who I was. These days, though, people assume that I play everybody, all the time – someone actually said, “I’m scared! I don’t know how you’re playing me!” recently. It was just a normal conversation!’

Until The Game came along, pickup artists operated much more covertly – by going public, Strauss helped to create the international community. ‘I read The Game in 2005,’ IceDragon tells me, ‘and it changed my life. I tried one of Style’s routines out in a club, and I got the girl’s phone number. I realised later that it wasn’t necessarily the routine that had done that. It was me. That’s why I started the Scotland Lair website – it’s a support community.’

The game is being played, now, in almost every city in the world. The Glasgow lair, with 260 registered online members, is relatively small compared to the London and Los Angeles lairs, which now stretch into the thousands. Members of the seduction community meet up online to discuss techniques and post ‘field reports’ of their approaches on HBs (hot babes, often accompanied by a number denoting their attractiveness out of ten). Men – many, many more men than would publicly admit it – passed The Game between their friends. There are splinter factions squabbling online about whether you’ll get better results by using neuro-linguistic programming or simple hypnosis. By ‘better results’, I mean ‘more women’.

‘My books aren’t just about pickup routines, about tips and tricks,’ Strauss insists. ‘I’m tracing the evolution of a subculture.’ Later, at the reading, he’ll wonder, in front of a 200-strong audience of stammering boys, peacocked PUAs and older, nervy men in suits whether ‘this whole thing will just be a blip on early 21st century culture, or if we’re seeing the beginnings of a new phase of male self-improvement.’

Pickup is a huge, money-making business these days. Chance, Deep Vertigo and IceDragon have all been employed as ‘approach coaches’ by Alpha Interactions, the biggest seduction company in the UK, training up other AFCs on sarging bootcamps, which happen in nightclubs and cost upwards of £295 a session. Conversely, while the current storm of publicity for Strauss’ new book The Rules of the Game – essentially a 30-day seduction manual – has brought the community even greater exposure, women still seem largely oblivious to the manoeuvres being used around and on them.

What worries me about the seduction community, I tell Strauss, is that it seems to set heterosexual relations back a good 50 years, and, ironically for a movement that purports to teach men how to talk to women, ultimately widens the gap in understanding between the sexes. I refer to a quote in The Game by a pickup artist who calls himself Tyler Durden: ‘I never used to be a misogynist until I discovered the Game.’
Strauss takes a while with his answer.

‘Yeah, yeah, I-I-I understand what you mean. Um. But anyway. I’ll come back to that. But, looking at the positive and negative sides of the Game – I’d like to focus on the positive sides first. When guys are afraid of women, that fear and sexual frustration can turn into hatred – and hatred leads to some guy opening fire in a supermarket! There was a college shooting in America recently (the incident at Virginia Tech in April last year), and that guy started it over a girl who rejected him. A lot of guys are very intimidated by an attractive woman, and they dehumanise her because our culture perceives beautiful women as commodities. But I think if you’re able walk up to a person and get to know them, and you see their flaws and their impurities, and realise that they’re like you, then you can humanise them again.’

And the negative?

‘Well, yeah. Where women have to be treated by a certain set of rules, and according to the Game, they do, it does create that curtain between men and women. Because it does become an addiction, running game. It gets into your head and changes the way you look at things. I’d just be in a business meeting and there’d be a female in the room and I’d have to sarge her, get her phone number, often without even realising what I was doing.

‘Hopefully,’ he says, with another nervous giggle, ‘once men get to understand how they can swipe that curtain away, they’ll step over it. That’s the ultimate message of The Game; that sometimes you gotta drop it and act from the heart! My books are not Loaded magazine! They’re not Nuts!’

Later a group of us, including Strauss, go out to dinner. I put the same question to the other PUAs.

‘But women have had the power for hundreds of years,’ Chance says. ‘We’re just trying to make things equal again.’

When I ask what power women have had, he looks at me as though I’m stupid.

‘Women are the ones who get to decide.’

As the evening comes to an end, IceDragon leaves with an arm round each of the beautiful young women he’s been accessorising with all night. The rest of the Glasgow lair are eager to take Strauss sarging along Sauchiehall Street, their prime hunting ground; he’s much keener on checking out the Glasgow music scene. He met Sons and Daughters recently, and wants to visit Nice’n’Sleazy’s on their recommendation.

How to Approach a Girl - Bars and Nightclubs!

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

How to Approach a Girl is the question on many guys minds.

I found this great article by Joe Van Velzor on Ezine Articles. It’s a great basic starter guide, which includes things you can do right now, I mean, go out this weekend and try out!

How to Meet Women in a Bar or Nightclub
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joe_Van_Velzor]Joe Van Velzor

If you’re like most guys, your biggest challenge is finding a place to meet women. To find a sophisticated woman you have to go where she’ll be. The best place is at a bar.

You believe trying to meet a woman in a bar is hard. You probably hate going to a club to meet women, most have their guard up. You’re nervous because approaching women in bars sucks. You just have to have the balls to approach them. You are about to learn a few easy tips on how to approach and meet women in a club without getting nervous. How to approach women is the most important thing that you need to learn.

1. Relax

What’s good about a bar or club is that you have a relaxed atmosphere. This makes it easy for you to approach and talk with women.  You’re not overwhelmed with loud music and a crowd, you can confidently approach women without fear of rejection. You see the girl of your dreams and you want to meet her.

2. Eye contact and introduction

Women are being constantly approached by guys who use cheesy pick up lines. First get her to make eye contact. And approach her on the third time she makes eye contact with you. If she is by herself pretend to know her, and say “Hey, how are you.” If she’s with a group of her girlfriends, take a different approach. Remember, it’s hard to get girls in a group to separate.

3. Approaching girls in a group

At this point most guys are setting themselves up for defeat. You approach your woman and ask if she wants to dance. If she says no, you continue to ask her friends to dance, they say no, and you leave empty handed. Instead do this.  With a smile on your face, walk over and say “Would any of you like to dance?” Chances are that one will dance with you. You now have an opportunity to dance with the other girls in the group too. Pursue the one you that you hit it off with for a romantic encounter.

If you want to find a sophisticated woman you need to go where she’ll be. You’ll have the best opportunity in a bar to meet a woman. Once you learn how to approach them, you’ll find a lot of women who just want to dance and have a good time.

Going out to meet women is certainly a good motivating factor in building up your self-esteem and confidence. Now put this into practice and you can see results.

Pickup Girls - By Practising

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Pickup Girls - Yes, it is a skill.

The skill of seduction.

Like ANY skill, PICKUP CAN BE LEARNT.

Up to a point.

No one can be taught to be a brilliant pickup artist, just as no one can be taught to be a brilliant chess player. Brilliance requires talent. Whether any of us have the talent, is in the gift of God.

However, we can be TAUGHT COMPETENCE in pickup.

Competence is about not making errors.

We can be taught how not to make errors.

Simply that. No more complicated than that. No errors.

Just as most people can be taught to play chess, so too can they be taught the pickup game. An error-free chess sequence, like perhaps a youngster demonstrating the Sicilian Opening, will raise murmurs of approval, and generally cannot be critisised. The youngster may not be destined to become a brilliant chess player, but an error-free Sicilian is something most youngsters can be taught to play, even if a little woodenly.

In the same way, we can learn an error-free performance in the field.

But unlike the chess player, an error-free pickup is something more.

It is highly unusual.

Pickup without errors is no small achievement.

As with any skill, PRACTISE is what is necessary.

Reading articles and e-books will be perfectly useless in the absence of practise.

We learn pickup by doing.

So practise.

Practise. Practise. Practise.

The ideas you learn from articles are for trying out. If something does not work for you, form that opinion after you have tried it and not before. In the forums, there will be suggestions you disagree with, but what we must avoid is procrastination. TRY THINGS OUT, then relax, not beforehand.

Pickup should involve experimenting.

Regularly.

Trying to IMPROVE existing skills.

Trying to create NEW skills.

Dont’ sit around. Get up and do.

Practise in front of the mirror. Practise in front of friends. Practise to and from work in the quiet of your mind on the train. Think new ideas and in time have the courage to try them, and successfully Pickup Girls.

How To Pickup Women - Pick Up Girls Tonight!
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Justin_Goff]Justin Goff

Most people find picking up a girl very common among men who are inexperienced or asking a girl out for a date for the first time. The fact is that it is not easy to approach a woman. It takes a lot of courage and the appropriate action to approach a girl and expect positive results.

You need to take several things into consideration. Here are some of the things you need to keep in mind when it comes to picking up a girl.

a)    Practice optimism:

Women usually have an aversion to pessimists. They don’t like people who don’t have a positive and pleasant approach to life. Believe in all positive and beautiful things in life, practice optimism and display it too. You should put a great and natural smile on your face. Get rid of that smirk. This will go against you. Your sunny smile and humorous jokes will definitely impress your girl.

b)    Use what you have:

Don’t fret over things that you do not possess. This will make you appear desperate. It would be better that you feel happy about what you have and display it with pride. If you don’t find anything worth displaying, you may take you cute and cuddly dog out for a walk. Who knows a beautiful girl will pass by and get impressed with the dog you own. This will automatically lead to a good conversation between you and your girl.

c)    Humor:

Girl love to laugh and you should find some good humor to make them do so. Laughter is the best medicine and this medicine will attract women towards you with less efforts and time. You need to make your woman laugh any time and any place. Once you do this you have already won the battle.

d)    Don’t expect rejection:

What most men do is expect rejection when they come to know that the woman they are approaching is hot and beautiful. This is wrong. When you expect rejection, you are attracting negative powers to yourself. This means that you are expecting failure. Be positive see positive things happening to you.

e)    Grab the interest:

If you see a woman interested in establishing a conversation with you, then you have already made her like you. Now, you require focusing on getting into a conversation that she may hold some interest in. It can be a general topic or a situation. Try to listen to her and let her realize that you have something interesting to tell her.

f)    Respect her:

This is very important. You need to respect your woman in order to make her interest in you. Remember that a woman will not be interested in a man or sleep with someone who doesn’t respect her. You should make her realize that you are genuinely interested in her company and she would like to be with you.

To sum up, picking up a girl is not as difficult as you think it is. A little effort from your side will do the trick.
