How to Pick Up Women at College Bars
74A Few Requirements
Before we begin, this article is written with a particular type of person in mind. I don't assume you're beautiful, particularly funny, or rich. I assume, however, that you know how to have fun, aren't exclusively looking for the hook up and are a non-creeper. If you are wondering if you are a creeper or not. You probably are. Also, I expect you to be genuinely interesting, and this is the most important part. If you aren't genuinely interesting, or at least pretend to be, you won't get anywhere. You've probably seen the pickup artist or other such non-sense that seems to indicate that anyone can pick up girls, and maybe they can, but I promise the most important part is to be genuinely interesting. What I give you in the next few paragraphs are tools and techniques, but it takes a person with a little bit of creativity to apply it to all situations. The last little bit of advice is learn from all the rejections and figure out new ways to talk to women and maybe you'll end up dating that cute girl you wanted to see if you could get a good night kiss from.
Not only is this article written with a particular type of person in mind, but also a particular type of place. I'm talking about the local college pub, where the beer is cheep and disgusting and most people are poor college students. The strategy described in this article will remain the same no matter where it is tried, however, the tactics should always be changing based on the conditions of the environment.
Attitude: Why Men and Woman don't Start on the Same Page
Let's talk a bit about attitude and I'm not talking about the type that will get you in fights when you make out with another guys girlfriend. Although, you might end up making out with another guys girlfriend by the end of the night if you follow my advice, which might get you in a fight. The type of attitude I’m talking about is the mental attitude that separates men like you from smoking hot woman.
What is running through your head when you prepare for a night out on the town with the boys. It’s probably booze and boobs, which to no surprise is not exactly the first thing on a girl's mind. She instead is planning to go out and have a good time, and perhaps be picked up. So to follow Sun Tzu’s advice. In order to win against your enemies you must know their thought process. The women at the bars are thinking about having a good time.
Before you even step foot into the bar you should align your self with the mental attitude that a woman is going to have at the bar. She is planning to go to the bar to have a good time and not to go home with you. If you are going with the attitude to have a good time and not to pick up women its going to be much easier for you to pick up woman. Why? Because they know when a guy is there to pick them up and more often than not this guy is going to get shot down like a duck in duck hunt. So now that you’re in the right mind set, and you’re on the way to the bar and all the boys are talking a big game about how they are going to get chicks and get sloppy drunk, you can rest assured that you will be the one that will be getting chicks.
The Approuch: The Hardest Part
How do you get those chicks? You have to start with the approach. Most of your guy friends are going to sit around a table get sloppy drunk and will maybe talk to only one girl all night and that’s only if she bumps into him on her way to the bath room. If you sit around this table all night you too will talk to exactly zero, so stand up and get moving.
It’s now time to work on the approach. So far if you’ve followed my advice you’re awkwardly standing around looking for a girl to talk to you, and wondering how you’re going to gain the courage to talk to her. Don’t worry! You’re not going to be the only one talking to her. You’re about to recruit a wingman. Head to the bathroom and start chatting it up with the boys in the bathroom. Ask your self how many girls you know that you could walk up to at the bar and talk to. The number pretty close to zero. Now ask your self how many girls any single guy in here could walk up to and introduce you to. The number could be 2, 5, 15 or 20. Now we’re talking about improved odds and you’ve just recruited a wingman. Okay so you’ve chatted them up. What to do now? All of these are real scenerio’s that have resulted in one on one conversations at the bar or future dates.
To Buy Or Not To Buy
This is a question that depends a lot on the environment you are in and what is expected. I have never bought a drink for a girl, unless she has already bought one for me. I think this is important for a number of reasons. It throws them a bit of a curve ball, and they wonder why you aren't buying them a drink and are actually talking to them. It also projects the image that you aren't desperate (a major plus) and aren't looking for a hook up(aligning your self mentally with their game plan). Secondly, you are proving you don't need to order them a drink to strike up a conversation and come across as a good conversationalist and genuinely interesting.
Scenerio 1: How to the Make the Creeper Work for you
Scene: Creeper talking to Beautiful Woman, and then Creeper you met in the bathroom walks away.
You: "Hey, were you just talking to creeper"(give some description or point and say him).
Her: "Uh…No."
You: "Oh, I could have sworn it was you. She had the exact same shirt and had hair/eyes/whatever exactly like yours." (You’re subtly pointing out a physical characteristic that is memorable and hopefully attractive. If she thinks that what you pointed out is her best feature she maybe slightly glad you noticed it even if you are a complete stranger.)
Her: "Yeah…well…Okay, I was talking to him."
You: "Yeah, well, He tried to talk to me in the bathroom. He was such a creeper"
Her: "Yeah that’d totally freak me out."
You: "Yeah, imagine how I felt…(Now start to act out what happened...or even make it up. Start to bounce your knees and pretend like you're peeing and then throw her the head fake) Oh, by the way my name is Tom…and Yours?
Hopefully you'e just thrown her a fun, flirty playful smile as you extend the hand that you were just holding your self with in an attempt to induce a smile and akward hand shake. If you think it would make her giggle a little bit you can appologize for the akward hand shake and then ask where she's from or what she's drinking.
You have now started up a conversation and it’s now up to you to keep it going. Remember that part about being genuinly interesting? Here’s where you show it and perhaps get rewarded with an awesome good night kiss. In this 5 minute scenerio you've proven you're a good time, can joke around, aren't a creeper and are genuinely interesting. It sounds like you're off to a good start.
Scenerio 2: How to Work a Group of Girls
Scene: A group of girls and a guy talking. They all seem like friends out to have a good time. The guy seems like a friend type not a romantic interest.
You: Walk up to guy and get his attention and depending on the type of bar even put your hand on his shoulder. You may or may not have talked to him the bathroom. “Hello…uh…sorry you looked like my friend. (If he’s from the bathroom continue on)…Hey, weren’t you the guy in the bathroom that (throw something funny or memorable in here). I see you have a drink in your hand, but since I thought you were my friend let me get you a drink….”
Him: “uh Sure…”
You: Turn to the prettiest girl in the group and say, “Hey can you make sure he finishes his drink by the time the next one gets here”
Her: Hopefully she smiles and says, "yes."
You: “My name is tom, what’s yours. I need a way to hold you accountable if you let me down”
Girl1: “Hi, I’m cute girl name”
You: “Well, actually you kinda look like a rookie compared to her(point to second cutest girl)”
Girl1: “Why?!?!?!”
You: Make up something that brings attention to her in a good way and then turn to girl2 and say, “You look like a pro, can I trust you to make sure he drinks all his drink”
Girl2: “Of course you can”
This skit works amazingly well. First of all you come off as a fun guy who is just looking for a good time. Most guys would buy drinks for the girl in this situation, but I always buy drinks for guys. It shows two things: you're not super cheap and two you're not a threat to the girl because if you wanted a good night kiss you'd be buying her the drink. Another reason this works well is the guy helps to lend you a little credibility as at least some one he could talk to. This helps to put everyone at ease and allows you to talk to girl1 and girl2 without being threatening. From here on out you're on your own and that's where the genuinely interesting part comes in.
Scenerio 3: “Even to Better Odds”
Scene: Guy you met in the bathroom that you built report with in the bathroom talking to at least one more girl than guy in the group, but a group of 3 or 4 girls talking to 1 guy is ideal. For this to work, it works best if you know the guys name and you introduce your selves in the bathroom or on the way out. Find out a little bit about who he is here with and what he is doing.
You: “Hey, Guy from Bathroom, How’s your birthday/night/party going…did you ever…do the thing you were just getting ready to do” (Use his name and make it sound like you two are best friends, but not in a creepy way. This gives you credibility)
Him: "Yeah, uh…we did that."
You: "Oh, nice. Want to get a beer?"
Him: "Sure"
You: "The bar looks really busy. Who are these people you are with?" (You’ve just forced an introduction and hopefully you’ve just met the girl you’re going to get the chance to engage in conversation….light, fun, flirty conversation)
You've basically forced an introduction and you seem to be passing time and not appearing on the threat radar. This is the perfect time to start working on one of the girls and being funny, playful and flirty. This is a pretty basic approuch that I believe would work about anywhere.
And Now It's Time to Bounce
A friend of mine once said, "If you haven't left by 1:00...You are leaving alone" and this is a true statement. Although, leaving the club with a girl shouldn't be your only aim for the night. If it does happen and you get a good night kiss then you're doing alright. But how do you convert from a conversation in the bar to a conversation outside. With all things in life all you have to do is ask, and ask and ask.
The purpose of the bounce is to move from the bar to somewhere else. It's simply a way of seeing if she trusts you or not yet. If she doesn't trust you or doesn't believe you've proven your value to her as a fun guy then you'll get shot down like John McCain over Vietnam. There's nothing wrong with that and you can learn from it.
However, there are good and bad places to bounce to. If you suggest bouncing to her place, your place, or a hotel room you're more than likely going to get a negative unless you can tell she wants to cuddle up to you. On the other hand a coffee shop, late night pizza place or just about any other public place where you now have her attention is going to work in your favor. You're not competing with other guys, the music, or her friends for attention and you now have a chance to win her over so you can get that good night kiss you've been working towards.
You can be blunt and forceful, use subtle hints or a gradually become more forceful. I suppose it depends on how hard you are willing to be rejected, a forceful and blunt response is going to be very straight forward, but that allows for a very straight forward acceptance or rejection. I like to subtlely and playfully hint at it and then become more and more blunt as the minutes tick away. Often times she'll say no and require convincing and this is where the creativity and interstingness kicks in. You could have all the scripts in the world and be perfectly smooth at the bar, but when it comes to the bounce...You've got deliver and prove your value or you'll never get that follow up date, late night coffee, or good night kiss you've been working towards.
