Education & Reference The Pick-up Thread

[Vecto]

So I realise that there is a thread on how to get a girl/ guy of your desire, but i think this is a whole lot more interesting.

This is about how to pick up a girl/ guy when your out on the town, one who is more than likely a random.

I'm interested as to whether people always resort to a certain strategy, or whether they just go out and have a good time and see what happens.

Do you buy her/ him a drink?
Dancefloor or bar?
Play the field or stick with one?

Personally, I'm completely against buying the girl/ guy a drink, and will often say "do you want to get a drink", buy two shots and have them both.

I'm a dancefloor man. Dance with my own little crew but then usually start walking around the dance floor just to see who is around and if there are any potentials. I find myself just standing in the front row looking at the dj at times, just enjoying it. (Usually at this stage am very drunk and like to think I'm acting cool haha.)

Speaking of, does alcohol help or hinder your game. For me I see this correlation as a positive linear graph. The drunker I am the better I am at spouting absolute shite.

Also this doesn't just apply to blokes. Am keenly interested as to how girls would go about the same stuff.

cheers

Not mad just a copy paster from BB.com thread.

Now, bring on all the E-Casanova's.

The relationship of game vs alcohol consumption is probably better represented by the inverted parabola. It would be a misnomer to suggest, as the op has, that there is a positive linear relationship between the 2. While this may be correct up to certain level of consumption, there has to come a time where the model reaches what i would call a "tipping point"

Thusly

Mance, that graph looks roughly (very roughly) like the graph of alcohol consumption and its effect on mortality and ill health, which is shown to actually decrease the risk of heart disease (and other nasty shit) for a level o consumption up to about 4 drinks per day, then it begins to increase the risk of dropping dead, in a J curve fashion

It also sorta looks like a flaccid wang

That is great. I admit that my theory may be slightly flawed. Possibly the more drunk i get, the better i think i am at picking up girls, but the worse i actually become. not sure if there is a graph for that haha

Yep agreed. Great show for some laughs as well as some advice.

here's my favourite clip from the show.

I like it, but I find the peak of my inverted parabola is at about 0.18. May very for every person dependant on how outgoing they start, not to mention how many they need to get going. You know when you're peaking and that's 'water time', hold the game and switch to 1 drink per hour.

 

[thegrach]

Ummm, wut?

 

[Mancey]

Yeah if i was a girl and saw a guy drinking water in a bar i'd probably class him as a hetro

 

[WALL-e]

Damn hetros...

I'd be interested to hear different people's pickup ratios: how many times they pick up per x number of outings to the local/city/etc.

My ratio would be pretty poor. Of course, I'm usually drunk by the time we get whereever we are going so I'm never really in the hunt.

Over to you, bf.

If you really want to pick, during the day is best. Guard is down you just have to build a lot of comfort and rapport to not be creepy.

My pick up percentage is about 5-10%, so every month or two i guess.

Although i head out to have a good time, if i see an opportunity to pick up, ill try but i wont lose sleep over it.

Just getting a number or two is as good sometimes.
