The ace in the deck of tricks is "the neg" — short for negative. Forget the compliments. Try lines like, "I've been here with you three minutes and it feels like an hour!"
I think "then leave" would be my first response. I was never good at dating either.

Ooooh..ooohh..that's a great idea for a thread!
Any Best/Worst pickup lines y'all want to share???
I had a guy tell me he'd let me buy him a beer if I would let him touch my breasts. (Costs me a lot of $$ that night!) ;-)

When "Primetime" co-anchor John Quinones asked him why he enrolled in the class, Joel said, "A woman would come up to me…and she'd be really interested, and I could see this, as soon as I opened my mouth, she… would suddenly start backing away, and [say] 'Oh, I got to go.'" *************

The ace in the deck of tricks is "the neg" — short for negative. Forget the compliments. Try lines like, "I've been here with you three minutes and it feels like an hour!"So when guys insult me, they're actually attracted to me?

ROFL...
I had a guy sing me " Stairway to Heaven" with his acoustic guitar to impress me
though I love that song and it was a very sweet gesture.... one hour later he started tripping on something he had taken and started talking in a different voice...
I told his friends to take him home or I was calling the police... needless to say ..
we never hooked up!
I can't date the devil...

One of its students is Joel, a successful software engineer from Denver. He's clean-cut and nicely dressed, and has been practicing a scripted routine — learned in a three-day workshop that cost him nearly $2,000. Two grand to try to fake a personality.
Noticed it said nothing about the woman's reaction when she finds out.

"Negs" work really well on beautiful, insecure women by lowering their self-esteem and making them try to re-validate themselves - up to and including offering sex. After becoming used to a steady stream of guys coming up and telling her how beautiful she is, the effect of an average-looking guy picking on her instead is shocking to her. Ulitimately, though, it is a one-night-stand tactic, and guys who use it are just as shallow and insecure as many of the women who fall for it.
"Mystery" is a genius - but he is also a pretty screwed up guy - like many of these "pickup artists". His tactics work like a charm, but they also start relationships off on the wrong foot. There's a way for men to use this stuff in a good, healthy way - but a lot of these guys are misusing it and hurting women. At times when reading their accounts, it's clear they are looking for revenge.
By all means read the new book "The Game" by Neil Strauss (referenced in the article) - it's brilliant, and will introduce you to a subculture you probably knew nothing about.

Geeks are hot. There is nothing sexier than a smart man. I'd take Ken Jennings if he lost all his money tomorrow.
I mean, he's so cute, I want to carry him in my pocket like a celebutante's pampered pooch.
