Dustin1280 02/21/18 10:21:10 PM #103:	If you are having trouble meeting women here are some things I would recommend. 1. Don't give one word answers, if you want conversation you need to give them something to build off of. (the TC posted this one in 300+ words and used terrible examples, but it's still a good tip) 2. If you are going to say something think to yourself, does this make me look like I have little confidence or bad self esteem? If it does think of something ELSE to say or a better way to say it. 3. On the first date I don't recommend talking about family issues, politics, religion, or ex boyfriend/girlfriends. 4. If you manage to get a woman's phone number, don't call her or message her for at least a few days unless she messages you first. When you do talk to her next, have a SET schedule in mind, don't say something like "i am open whenever you are," it makes you look a little desperate. 5. don't put women on a pedestal, they are normal people just like everyone else. If you DO put them on a pedestal you are going to be very nervous during your interactions. 6. CONFIDENCE ALWAYS have CONFIDENCE. Never say anything that could make you look like you are not confident in yourself, at least not on the first couple of dates. Wait till you have built some trust. 7. Try not to talk about yourself too much during the first date, do what you can to make the woman talk about herself. It will make the date go smoother and easier. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 // RIP nayr626 Karma: 4395 --They delivered! <cite>Dustin1280 posted [p:896532641] in pick up ar...

Ugh, mainstream advice, let me provide my thoughts: 1. Don't 2. Not that much time to think before everything said, it's better to just come from a frame of high confidence, but sure 3. Depends on how important it is to the girl. If you want to sleep with the girl, girls usually sleep with guys they feel really understand them. If any of those is extremely important to the girl, you better be able to adjust to it. If she was previously raped and it drastically affected her life and the way she views the world, you better bet she wouldn't sleep with anyone who doesn't know about this. So despite being a sensitive topic, it may need to be discussed to sleep with the girl. 4. NO. NEVER expect a girl to text you first. Girls will come up with any excuse not to, don't put the onus on her. Text her that day and/or the day after. Definitely do it while she still remembers you. If you get a girl's number and a bus stop after 15 min, do you really think she's going to remember you 4 days later when she has a million guys after her? When scheduling, ask her what days she is available and then pick what days work best for you. 5. Yes 6. Yes, but the occasional self deprecating remark isn't bad 7. You want her to talk about herself a lot, talk about you when she asks but make it interesting...but also important talk about the two of you some, in terms of whether or not you would get along. IE, "oh, you're very adventurous, i'm glad...I don't think I can be around a girl that just stayed on the couch all day" Headed to the gym, feel free to get pissed at my pro advice --- http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/7813/kateb9200.gif http://i.imgur.com/QPgN9.jpg?1 <cite>No_U_L7 posted [p:896533114] in pick up ar...

Well this is the gem you started the topic with, so yeah. 2. No critique here, you basically agreed with me in more words then necessary. 3. Rape will NEVER come up in a conversation on a first date unless one or both parties are completely crazy. If you are meaning to say, respond based on what she is pushing for sure, but that is still good advise to keep in mind and those topics should only be breeched if she is insistent. 4. If you make a good enough impression she will text you, and if she doesn't it's perfectly fine to wait a few days. I think we are going to completely disagree here. 5. -- 6. Good critique TBH 7. Good critique Nothing you said has convinced me you are anything other then someone TRYING to be a pickup artist though. Your "proof" topic only further cements my thoughts on this. Perhaps I wouldn't have responded the way I did if you didn't come off as someone who is talking himself up while posting terrible examples in the process and ultimately looks like they don't know what they are talking about. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 // RIP nayr626 Karma: 4395 --They delivered! <cite>Dustin1280 posted [p:896533578] in pick up ar...

Which do you think is a better response if you are trying to create interest on a date to the question "What's your job?" This is a first date. 1.

Perhaps I wouldn't have responded the way I did if you didn't come off as someone who is talking himself up while posting terrible examples in the process and ultimately looks like they don't know what they are talking about. by mainstream advice, i didn't mean obvious advice...i meant public misconceptions. the ugh was more that i get asked these questions so much by friends and random people at bars it gets old. you may think this topic is obvious advice, but i also have other not as obvious ones such as here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/76344286 https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/76333736 also, you had 7 pieces of advice to break out of "common", failed to do and to summarize: one of them was my advice (1), 2 of them were the same thing just "be confident" (2 and 6), 2 of them were blatantly wrong (3 and 4) and i had to correct you on a couple of things (7). A couple of others points: 1. you wouldn't wait on a girl to talk to you first, you wouldn't wait on a girl to kiss you first...why is it all of a sudden ok to wait on a girl to text you first? women expect men to make the first move, and if you're waiting to text, you are missing out and doing it wrong. 2. on my dates, i want to know EVERYTHING about a girl. I want to know what kind of person she is, why she is that way, what her ideal life is like, and what are her greatest fears in life. Girls will sleep with a guy they have an intense connection with, not the guy they have a fun, light evening with. Nothing is off the table conversationally. I'm not worried about the date going bad due to bringing up touchy topics, I will be able to handle it. And if a girl is that sensitive, we probably wouldn't get along anyway. The faster and better you can get to know a girl, the larger likelihood it will lead to close. It seems like to me you're just afraid to admit there are things about women and attraction you don't know, because that would mean that what you know is wrong and you have more to learn. if you can prove me wrong, it proves that you do know everything you need to know about pickup already without spending all the time i did learning it. Pickup is one of those things that you can apply as much to your life as you want or dont want to. Personally I use it a ton to sleep with the type of girls that I like and that wouldn't be attracted to me based solely off of looks. You don't have to learn it if you don't want to, doesn't change the fact that a greater understanding of it is only a positive and that greater understanding is all i'm trying to bring to the board. --- http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/7813/kateb9200.gif http://i.imgur.com/QPgN9.jpg?1 <cite>No_U_L7 posted [p:896540517] in pick up ar...

Personally I use it a ton to sleep with the type of girls that I like and that wouldn't be attracted to me based solely off of looks. You don't have to learn it if you don't want to, doesn't change the fact that a greater understanding of it is only a positive and that greater understanding is all i'm trying to bring to the board.</quote> ...

I've already responded to your question a couple pages back. I'll repost it here: what are you passionate about that you are taking steps towards in your life? if you run a side business, talk about that. if nothing, then my first bit of advice is to find your passions. next, how to reply: do NOT deflect. saying something like "holding it down for the fam" makes it look like you're hiding something and her brain will jump straight to homeless, unemployed, dug dealer, serial killer. answer her briefly then distract from it. Example: her: what do you do? you: i'm in sales by day and a stripper by night her: you're a stripper?! you: gotta fund my expedition around the world somehow sally! To put emphasis, I feel like people should not be doing a job they can't talk about at least semi-passionately. If you're that bored by work, you should be taking steps to find a better job, in which case you can talk about that. If your job is that boring, my listed example works fine. You can also keep it a lot more straightforward and say "i work in sales, but i try not to let that define me, playing tennis and rock climbing are probably my true passions". But yeah my life (and not pick up) advice would be don't spend so much of your time doing something you don't like. I went to college for 9 years to do what I do for a living so I obviously like it a bit, even though I wouldn't call it my true passion I can definitely talk about it passionately. --- http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/7813/kateb9200.gif http://i.imgur.com/QPgN9.jpg?1 <cite>No_U_L7 posted [p:896664802] in pick up ar...
