Family & Relationships Guide to picking up

[Silent Alarm]

Agree with this last point. Man that took some balls.

Good advice I got was was being vulnerable/honest and letting people judge you, whatever the result you'll be better for it. Also understanding that miscommunications are completely normal.

Experience is a good indicator to success. Lack of experience means you just make your own. Go out and practice, have a mate keep you accountable. The first time I asked someone out I said clothes shopping ffs.

That’s not a bad date idea at all. If you go somewhere trendy and dress it up as a ‘I need new jeans’ then who cares? You aren’t gay, you asked her out. Everyone needs to shop. You can grab lunch together, it’s actually not bad. ‘I have Saturday off and was gonna do some shopping in Fitzroy, you should come hang.’

I remember I wore this beige cord Levi’s jacket out to Persa in about 2013 and this chick I was right into was saying to her friend, right. in front. of me, how good it looked.

She came back to mine and we smoked weed out of a Granny Smith and blew it out the window and we had sex on my blow up mattress (which had a hole in it) which was on top of milkcrates.

So yeah. Denim jackets. Or those associated.

thats living

might pick up a new denim number tomorrow, should have instant impact

Pretty much bumping this to brag but is relevant to the thread.

Was on the bus home on sat night after a relatively quiet one (was early but was still a bit tipsy from a few beers) and kept catching eyes with a girl on the bus. She rose to get off at my stop, I said 'after you' to let her off.

Walking home and realised she was just behind me, and thought '**** it I'm just going to ask her out here'. Heart was pounding but I stopped, turned and blurted out 'would I be able to have your number?' She looked a bit taken aback so I basically just talked about my night for 2 minutes and finished off with something like 'yeah, and I thought you were beautiful, so can I have your number? She laughed and gave it to me and said something like 'it's a strange looking number but that is mine I promise.'

Next day I tried to call her (always call, never text) but she didn't answer so eventually settled for a text asking her out. Organised a date for this week.

Was hardly a smooth attempt at picking up (in fact one may argue was actually pretty awkward) but girls always respect that level of confidence at the end of the day. Any time of day in any location (apart from work depending on your job) can present an opportunity.

The biggest tip I can give though is that you have to have your own lifestyle sorted before you will get anywhere with girls. Girls are attracted to men that are going somewhere. It doesn't matter where you are going, you just have to be on a mission. There's nothing less attractive than a lack of drive.

Late reply to this, but wow, that's awesome. I asked out a guy in the street once... long story. We did go on an amazing date, but it didn't go any further. Did you guys end up going out?

Confidence is definitely sexy, and I also agree with you about direction. My first boyfriend had no idea what he wanted to do in life... he flitted from one low-paying job to another. That wasn't the only reason we broke up but it was part of the equation. I'm not overly ambitious myself, but I do like a man who has some goals in his life and a stable job that he likes

Woah be careful lads, it rough out there. Was out and this guy with us, a friend of friends tried chatting up this beastly woman, she was probably about 100kgs and she slapped him in the face. He's pretty ugly, looks a bit like Wallace from Wallace and grommet, but the nerve of her to think he was beneath her just sickens me

eBay is the way to go. You can get some nice dark greens and stuff on there.

Just don't go sherpa lined. Unless you wear spray on skinnies and no socks.

Levis love running out a product for one season and you never see it again. Few years back they were trotting out some nice earthy cord ones. Regret not getting heaps.

Hell good when you go to Watertown in summer or something and pull one out for $50. Once got these ones that were originally $190, half priced, then half priced again. Baby girl.

You need to write a novel, it would be a great tale. The "LIFE" of SA as told by SA

"Wanna come back to my place for a smoke?"

Weed- pretty much all you need.

A great post

And yes women look for guys with a bit of drive, as you displayed confidence and cheek

Well done

90% of life is giving it a go and smiling whilst you do it

I think someone said be rich. HoweverI would prefer to earn my own money than be with a guy just because was rich. Money means nothing to me in a relationship. Plus I probably earn more money than most of the guys I show interest in anyway lol.

But picking me up for a one nighter. Have a fun/friendly personality and make me laugh and your in. Lol

 

[craigos]

lol

 

[perthblue]

first chance I get i am giving my heart and my soul to a rich woman, I don't care what she looks like or whether she is particularly friendly or charitable or nice to animals and children. as long as she's up for joining bank accounts.

Be like a chipolata down the M25 with that one I'd imagine.

Gina looks exactly like how i'd imagine a medieval British monarch would look

That depends on the nature of the laughter.

Lot to be said for timing.

Sometimes very good looking girls just want a boyfriend. Sometimes you're the closet fella she doesn't recoil at or is too drunk to at a nightclub after a break up.

I once met a girl at the tail end of her relationship and we added one another on facebook as we got on well and she said I danced like Ian Curtis. For a commoners club it was either a diss or a rare compliment. She ended up breaking up with him and I was Rebound Guy for a few weeks and we fizzled out. A little while after she shacked up with a guy who was pretty average – shorter than her in Docs, pudgy – and they're still together. I timed the rebound and he timed the post rebound.

Otherwise there's a sweet spot of being young and the right level of pissed where dancing with a girl isn't sloppily drunk and gross nor is it so scary you don't consider it. That's one.

 

[Richard Cranium]

You drunk bud?

 

[Silent Alarm]

You drunk bud?

Nah not at all.

This advice might not be for everyone but imo all it takes is to hook up with some girls over a period of time ( don't have to be stunners) and it eventually becomes second nature how you interact with them. Currently married and if anything was to happen and we broke up (definitely hope not) getting back into it wouldn't be that difficult and rejection you wouldn't give two hoots about. You pretty much know what your doing and how to go about doing it from my observations.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Well, she wasn't bad 40 years ago.

 

[Coolangatta]

Talk to her about religion and politics, and pat yourself on the back as you discover she doesn't know as much as you do and go, "Ha! Another one who is no match for me intellectually. Away with you, swine." If she bonds with you over your cold, dead eyes, detachment, dislike of everyone, ridiculous arrogance and unjustifiable superiority complex, you've got yourself a fellow delusional, elitist keeper. You can watch and enjoy American Psycho together with them every anniversary.
