quote: Uhm, this works for me. Go out, pick the girl you are going to pick up that night, get eye contact, smile. If she smiles back, walk over and have a chat (maybe a dance if it's that sorta place), have a bit of a snog, walk her home, give her your number and have her begging for more when she calls you the next day... This never used to work for me until about 6 months ago and now it seems to happen when I am not trying. I think it might be purely confidence based (and the expertise of getting rejected x times over the last 10 years or so ). Being confident about your own body helps a lot, so deos having a sense of rythm.

Being 6 foot plus and an incredibly fit athlete, I'd imagine you have something of an advantage you know...

Yup, isn't life a b!tch

It is the confidence that it brings though. Back in my depressed stage my self confidence was shot, and even though I was of a not dissimilar build as i am now the puling was a lot harder.

Best advice so far. In the end, it really does come down to volume.

Debatable, it depends if you let other potential targets see you chat up a load of people. If they do they realise they're down on the list, and that isn't conducive to furthering relations.

If you can have one on the go in different social settings, much better

Well, of course. I'm assuming that the "playa" in question at least has the smarts to avoid letting his different targets ever meet each other.

I don't think there's a "recipee". If a girl likes you she'll go out with you assuming you have the balls to ask - flat out.

Most important thing is initial eye contact. Don't keep it going too long - but a couple of seconds staring intently before walking over makes it plain that you want are interested and have noticed them.

After that, it's down to your flirting skills - and keep asking, don't get downhearted by rejection.

Happy hunting, just remember the journey is more important than the destination.

Being good looking does help, since I couldn't get that one to work I decided to just be rich

Yeah, lots of good advice.

Listen to the yap.

Talk to them; that's not only step one as I have found out Pretend that you actually want to hear what they have to say, and that their life is more important than you getting into their pants

Confidence helps in talking to them and braving the line of being yourself. Women not only like to see that men are confident, but sure of themself, not egotistical, but with a sound mind and ideals. This is because most women are into relationships, and they see confidence as a sign of obedience.

Shower. Seriously, don't smell or dress sloppy or look like sheit. Maybe it's the style, I don't know, but dress to conform. If you want to show confidence through your dress do so subtly.

Be active. Go out, join clubs, participate. They like that kind of thing. For some reason women always have more energy to do that kind of thing than guys do.

Oh, and I wouldn't call 'em chicks. I like to use "ladies".

It's not as simple as volume. I have lots and lots of female friends. Not all of them are available at the moment and may never be but I have foundations with them all that I could start building on, that if they did become available I would be one of the first people they would seek out. Of course you will end up with lots of female friends and when you do find that someone special, she may have a problem with the fact that you do have friendships with those women.

I think the main point that everyone here is trying to get across is that a guy has to get out and talk. And don't limit yourself to just one social setting.

That helps a lot, but you can make it up in other ways. I am not 6'+ nor an incredibly fit athlete (though a reasonably fit sporty person ), and I have many women showed serious interest in me over the years.

Sweet. So, basically be engaging, somebody fun to be with. Learn how to chat and don't be scared of going up and talking to them. That pretty much sums it up right?

quote: Originally posted by Flip McWho Riight, I would like some advice from some of you people out there. Quite frankly I'm sick of not being able to get dates or anything resembling that at all. I want some advice on how to pick up females. Like is confidence everything? What other things are there? I'm going back to uni in about a month and I don't really want to go for another whole year without having any fun. So yes. Advice on the whole dating/picking up females thing? I know there are some 'players' out there that could give some good advice.

Just ask a lot. Frequency of sales calls is more important than sales style. Ask anyone who's done sales. Also ask them out right away. Don't spend forever thinking about it.

Show some balls. Nothing to be ashamed in getting shot down. But when you don't ask and you wanted to...

Try the pickups, doesn't need to be slimy or anything. Just if you are at the bookstore and you start talking to some girl about classes or whatever and she is cute:

1. ask her name.
2. Ask her if she'd like to grab coffee some time.
3. If she says yes, get phone #, arrange date.
4. If no, move on.

I don't really have much luck being a player. I tend to move into a relationship quick. But several relationships have come out of pickups.

Activities.

Activities, activities, activities.

Get involved in some organization at your school that interests you - females sharing that interest will also be in the organization. Thus you already have something in common.

I worked at the campus radio station in college. Net result was about four girlfriends, two of them serious and one who ended up being my wife.
