You make a good point Douche. My older brother is a tall good looking guy with a big friendly smile. His advice to me was stand next to a woman and just barely encroaching on their personal space. Then await for their response.
I watched him demonstrate. He stood behind a petite woman who's height was practically at his navel level. She eventually turns around. At first she was confused to just find a wall-of-man behind her, and then slowly started to raise her gaze until she finally reached my brother's big friendly grin. Half way through she already started to smile.
I tried the same only to get a nasty why are you standing next to me look. And I'm not bad looking.
Seriously, I think minimalist pickup strategies are a winner take all situation.
- hueving 10y agoYeah, it's frustrating taking pickup advice from really attractive people. They just operate in a completely different league where a valid strategy is just "make noise until they look at you".
- eanzenberg 10y agoWhat's fascinating is how much 'attractiveness' is within your total control! And I won't even lump in being 'fit' into that. A lot of being 'attractive' is just being confident, and walking up to a person to let them know your intent ("Hi, I noticed you and thought you were cute.. my name is ...") is quite confident.
- eanzenberg 10y agoYour brother gave you some terrible pickup advice! It's a lot better to let your intent be known, rather than lurk around waiting for your bae to catch your stance. Standing behind someone and smiling may have worked, but I'd bet hard cash that he would be just as, if not more, successful if he approached her and introduced himself.
