The T-men Pick Up Code

Off Topic
21

I pretty much got tired of the bars once the novelty wore off (Im almost 21 now and had a fake since I was 17)…but when I was young and dumb a few of my favorites that ALWAYS seemed to work: at a really busy bar find a good looking girl trying to get the bartenders attention, once the bartender gets to her, get up behind her and tell the barteder to throw a Bud on with her drink, then pay for both drinks, when she whips around to see what is going on, tell her: “thank you for letting me use your pretty face to get a drink, I was sick of waiting yadayada…”

If she is with a group of friends sitting at a bar table, come up to her act like youre bending down to pick something up, and have a 10 spot in your hand, ask he if she dropped it: if she says no (which is a good indicator of character haha) tell her you feel guilty taking it and offer to split the money by buying drinks, if she says yes, tell her finders keepers, laugh and walk away.

At a club, with your wingman, approach 2 hot chicks, come up behind your buddy and pull off an overly animated grind on your buddy, it has to be funny looking though, once they smile, move in for the kill…

Ill give my thoughts on normal everday situations (grocery store, bank etc)later

Holy crap!..I am soooooooo Happy I’m married.

I forgot what a hassle this was…“Good old Days”, my ass…

Yikes. Have some of you ever actually had girlfriends?

There is no “code.” Like everything else in life that matters, there are no shortcuts. Work on making yourself interesting, intelligent and attractive, and you will end up with your equal.

Or, get super rich and bang strippers.

It doesn’t look like Vaines is looking for a pickup line.

I just read TC’s “Take a Shot.” He called the gym “the greatest singles club in existence.” I’d like to introduce him to where I work out. In the year and a half I’ve been there, I’ve only seen a handful of women that even consider asking out (and my standards aren’t that high!)

So, I am stuck looking for other places to meet women.

25

Holy mother of God, this just may post! Ko, and a few others, had it right. Any of you looking (or offering) lines and strategies for picking up chicks need to get a fucking clue. The only thing that works on a “T-vixen” is being a “T-man”. T-men don’t need lines or strategies; they have this cool thing called personality and character. That alone will draw the vixens out of the woodwork. If you’re not drawing them out - you may be kidding yourself.

Anyone remember that scene in American Pie where Stiffler said “I’m Stiffler and I have a 10 inch cock!” Anyway, I thought I would mention it just for the sake of mentioning American Pie. That movie cracked me up!

27

On young dumb uderage chicks at a bar, stupid shit like I mentined above works, will it get you a girlfriend: no, will it get you laid: no, will it give you an introduction so you can turn on the charm: most definetly.

28

So basicly, don’t bullshit, be genuine.

Some of these strategies look good, so hey I might check them out.

How about in places like high school, or groceries, or any general place?

BTW, thanks, the turnout of posts was awesome!

29

Or, you could turn things 'round the other way. I now get phone numbers, etc, with the expectation that I will never talk to nor see the girl again. This has allowed me to be a lot freer with what I say/do, because I don’t have all those nagging worries about impressions.

On the other hand, if a girl actually did respond to my advances or return my calls, I’m not sure what I would actually do. Run, maybe.

Okay, I’ve got to set a few people straight here. LOL.

Perhaps some of you haven’t realized this yet, but men don’t pick up women. Yes, that’s right. Women pick up men. Think about it: if she likes you, you can basically say “Hey, let’s get out of here” and she’ll leave with you. If she doesn’t like you, nothing you can say is going to change that fact, and she isn’t going to leave with you.

Once you understand this, the whole idea of having a “pick up line” or “strategy” obviously becomes silly. So there’s no need to worry about it.

However, one sure-fire way to get women to appreciate you (if there’s anything there to appreciate in the first place, but that’s up to you) is to spend some time building up a relationship. You have a bar where the hotties hang out? Become a regular there. Don’t try to pick anyone up, just hang out there for a while and something will start to happen. You’ll know who you have a chance with and who you don’t, and that will alleviate the uncertainty that you’re feeling.

Want an example? Okay, here goes:

Karma, you wanna get outta this place and go somewhere quiet? :wink:

Jeff Rage!,
I am so with you on that one brutha! I workout at fitness center in a very small town, and I would have to say in the 7 years I have worked out there…there have MAYBE been like 5 girls there who were close to my age and even remotely attractive. For the most part, the only people that workout there are over-weight middle aged men who think they know what the hell they are doing AND over-weight middle aged women who are well…over weight and middle aged…haha. It sucks. Regardless, I think it is somewhat tacky to hit on a girl in the gym anyways. I mean…I’m there to workout, not socialize.

32

Guys, take every suggestion mentioned by girls in this arena with a grain of salt. While you can gain invaluable info listening to what they have to say on this matter, there is often a disparity between what they say they want and what they end up accepting. (Ladies, men do this too - Lord knows I’ve done more than my share of it in the past - so no misogyny here.)

Cheap little tricks to make yourself look interesting (reread that and think about that for a second) do nothing but break the ice, which can be useful, but it still boils down to whether or not you have their interest or not.

But the original question needs some clarification, I believe. When you say “pick[ing] up hott babes”, are you referring to getting attractive women to go home with you for the night, or getting attractive women to stay with you for more than a night? Different ball games.

If the goal is the former, then my suggestions of being taken and finding the “right” places to go would definitely help. I am not an ugly man, nor do women throw their panties at me as I walk down the street. I’m also quite shy, which is the main problem for those that can’t get laid, so what worked for me should work for most other guys as well.

If the goal is the latter, then we need to shift directions completely. Getting a girl in bed and winning her heart are two different things, and they generally involve selecting from different populations. Admit it guys, there are four categories of women: 1) “I’d hit it!” 2) “I’d date it!” 3) “She’s got a mouth!” and 4) “Not even with Chris Shugart’s manflesh!”

I think our conversation would be much more productive if we focused on Category 2 women, or those that we would pursue a long term relationship with, and how to find them. These are the kind of girls that you don’t pick up in bars. Stories from those that have attained and maintained the long term relationships that most of us have wanted would help.

I would share how I met my wife, but I don’t think most of you are ready for that. But hearing from Patricia & ko and others would be quite beneficial, I believe.

I second what Char-dawg said. There are countless men I dismissed even before they opened their mouths and said a word to me for various reasons (their attitude, the way they smell, etc., etc.). And corny pick-up lines will not endear you to women in general. The guys I typically hang out with aren’t from bars/clubs. I met them through friends or at places like airports, airplanes, hotel lobbies, etc. (I told ya I travel a lot).

34

Try This - Dress nicer then most of the people at the place you are going. Do not use the words “like”, “cool” or “awesome”. Shave and wash first. Most girls that are worth it will notice you. Smile a lot and know a few funny stories to tell that are not all about you. This will at least get you in the game.

35

I don’t know why mine or Ko’s opinions would matter in this topic.

Our situation was different in the beginning. We had been friends for sometime already. More like beer drinking brother and sister (people always thought that we were brother and sister). So, he didn’t have to use any “swanky” pick up line on me. And for anyone who tries? Yup, I turn and walk the other way. You try to demean me and my intelligence with a line, and I’ll ignore you like the single cell amoeba you are.

Okay, so Ko and I were friends in the beginning, what about now? Best of friends. We still go out drinking beers together, watch (boxing, UFC) fights together, and train together, for example.

I guess what needs to be done is to realize what exactly are you looking for? A “f’ck” buddy? One night stand? Or a significant other that would be a “soul mate”? Then you would approach that person with that intent in mind. I mean just be honest first with yourself and then with this other person.

Yuck. I sound like some sort of “How to Pick up the Other Sex for Dummies”…sorry. Need a beer.

36

Patricia, what I was trying to say when I said that it would be beneficial to hear from the two of you is that you two are in a long term relationship, and hearing how you got into that might provide some clues for those looking for the same thing. I just thought actual examples of how people come together would be helpful.

37

Jared: ooooohhh. hehe.

Okay. It was a Friday night back in '93. Bunch of people. A mutual friend introduced us. We all had beer(s). :-)))))

Thought he was a cutie back then. Still do. :-))))

38

“I just thought actual examples of how people come together would be helpful.”

Jared, it’s a combination of rythym and just plain old luck. When you feel she’s about to, that’s your cue to get ready. Nothing worse than being late to the dance. It can take years of practice, so just be patient and enjoy!

Anyone else have any questions I can help answer?

39

Char - I’ll go anywhere as long as you are there with me…

Soo incredibly true. Listen up, fellas. I’ve never met Char-dawg or even seen halfway clear/decent pics of him but the class, occasionally biting wit, intelligence, charisma and PERSONALITY he shows here goes a bazillion times farther to getting my panties 'round my ankles in that airport restroom than than any pick-up line/strategy ya’ll could dream up would.

This world is strewn with countless kiss-ass’ that’ve tried all that shit on me only to get the “don’t EVEN go there” palm in the face. And I’ve had my share of encounters and the only thing that they’ve all had in common was that I chose them. They had nothing to do with it. More often than not, I made the “move” on them. I chose them; and after ascertaining their long-term potential in several seconds of conversation, had my way with them (whatever that entailed). It doesn’t matter how built you are, how smooth your lines are, how eager/disinterested you appear, how many canned lines you deliver… if a chick is going to bone ya, she’ll bone ya. If she thinks you are worth more than a one night fuck, she’ll hang around until you get the idea to ask her out again.

Dont talk to women any differently then you talk to men.

If a new guy started working in your office and you asked him to grab a beer after work would you think of a one liner??? NO. You would just say

" Your are the new guy right? Hi, Im Dave, hows it going? Wanna grab a beer after work?" or words to this effect.

The point is that if you see someone you like you should just talk to them as a human. Women dont have a special area of the brain that makes them receptive to corny one liners.

I was in a bar once ordering my drink and there was a cute girl drinking some bizzare cocktail. I couldnt think of anything else to say so I just asked her what she was drinking. She told me the name of the drink and asked me if I would like to try some. After that talking was not a problem. I asked a normal question and ( as she was interested) responded in a posative way.

As Char Dawg said, women pick us up. When we start a conversation the ball is in their court to keep it going and they will only do this if they are keen.
