How are your chatting up skills-how do you try to pull

    Are people more interested in the "not interested" vibes people give off?

    Best way to pull for a bloke is to act married.

    Seriously...

    I could be out for a few pints with mates not giving a damn and I'll get attention.

    When I was single and went out on the pull, it was tough!

    Guess it's the whole 'smell of desperation' thing...

    I sit at the bar licking my eyebrows.

    Can be the case alright. The fewer fcuks you give, the more fcuks you get tendency.

    Rolex would be the best known, but I've very rarely had comments from women about the watches I own and there would be a few "good ones" in the mix. Of the ones that were noticed they were all oddball looking watches. It was the style rather than the name. I've had way more comments about my shoes. Shoes get noticed.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Well lads what are your tactics..get her a drink..throw some shapes and try lob the gob..just talking to them normally..whats your approach

    Dont have one. Never have. The idea of going out with the intention of "getting a girl" - in other words treating the opposite sex as a means to an end rather than an end in and of themselves - just makes me feel ikky and disgusting personally.

    As does the idea of walking up to someone to use a "tactic" or a "line" to try and ingratiate myself sexually with them. I want a shower for merely even thinking about acting like that. Talking about "tactics" and procedures makes it sound to me more like discussing how to capture an animal - like sitting around comparing lures used in fly fishing or some such. Or like if I do just the right mating call or ritual I will attract some mindless mate like I am a finch or a peacock or something.

    Anyone of the opposite sex I have ended up involved with romantically and/or sexually developed merely from them entering my life somehow - and our relationship evolving and maturing naturally on it's own. So who knows - perhaps the best tactic is no tactic for some people.

    All that said - when guys I know did ask me for advice on how to "pull" women - because apparently quite a few of them insanely see me as some sort of expert on the subject - I simply made something up on the spot. They implemented it and "pulled" every time. Consistently.

    Which means I either hit on the best tactic in the world by sheer unadulterated luck - or there is no tactic - you just have to find a reason or motivation to put yourself out there confidently and the rest works itself out.

    Which is probably why PUA stuff and "tactics" work - like those abhorrent "put them down and build them up" manipulative nonsense some people throw out.

    Almost like a placebo - if you invest enough belief and confidence in an approach - that makes it work more than anything about the tactic or approach itself.

    Haha I love that, put them down and build them up.

    "You're hot"

    "**** you, snobby bitch"

    People go out on the pull every night of the week. From both sexes! Sometimes they hook up, sometimes they don't. Sometimes it's a one night stand and sometimes it turns in to a relationship. It's not ikky at all.

    .

    I believe they call it "negging".

    I don't mind someone being a bit aloof or whatever especially if that is how they actually are or maybe they are just shy or something but going out of your way to put someone down is just weird and mean.

    It's being an @rsehole really

    If you can't enjoyably chat to someone then no amount of 'tactics' are going to help you..

    Anyone ever read 'The Game'? What a load of unadulterated d!ckheadery


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭philstar


    its all about eye contact, if the girl/lady doesn't give you the "glad eyes" then you're just wasting you're time

    the "glad eyes" is a woman's subtle permission to approach (in my mind anyway)

    nice line. maybe a bit too long and serious in a nightclub but I can definitely see this working on the bookish types in a coffee shop or a quiet bar

    well they would usually be the same type who would discuss 'tactics' for what basically amounts to having conversations..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,808 ✭✭✭✭smash


    The same people who hit their late 20's and suddenly realise they're going nowhere so they start to read 'The Secret'.

    I did not say it was. I said that is just how it makes _me_ feel. It is a comment about me not the activity itself. Hard to put into words what I mean - I just feel ikky at the thought of going out with the agenda of getting _someone_.

    Like the intention comes before the person you implement it with - rather than the other way around. If that makes any sense.

    No comment or judgement of anyone who does do it that way - I mean nothing other than _I_ feel ikky at the thought of it.

    Best method I've found is just to propose to the women straight away.

    Hi, you're beautiful, want to get married?

    It shows them you're not afraid of commitment.

    No - just ikky thanks. :p

    Aren't you the chap that has 2 wives?


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,257 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    I am incapable of the whole "chatting up" thing, simply cannot do it.

    Thankfully don't have to care about it any more.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Posts: 7,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    Sure but we are not "married" in any traditional sense of the word. There is a stack of signed legal papers - most of which I can barely read and probably contain me signing away my soul or some such - which deal with the likes of inheritance, next of kin, medical proxy rights, parental rights and all sorts. But that is probably as hard to describe as "marriage" as it would be to call it "romantic" :)

    Have you tried 'chatting down'? Chicks love a good insult!
