How to Pickup Women: Reading the Red Lights
The main reasons why men bomb on their approaches on how to pickup women, no matter well executed, is that they fail to read the red lights in a situation. It’s actually pretty stupid to think that one approach will work for all situations when it comes to picking up women.
Before you even think of trying to come up with a 100% surefire formula on how to pickup a girl, you must know how to identify the following red lights:
She’s Taken
If you miss the pretty obvious engagement ring on her finger and attempt to pull a fast one on a girl that’s taken, you may end up in a whole world of hurt. One pretty good sign that she’s taken is when she’s sitting quietly in a corner and fumbling with her phone while waiting for someone.
Of course, you can take your chances with a girl who’s taken, but don’t expect them to be high. There’s a reason she’s wearing that engagement ring, after all.
Protective Friends aka “The Cock Blocker”
It’s definitely more difficult to pickup a girl when she’s in a group of friends. And those friends aren’t too keen about you sizing up their buddy for a pickup. If you try and penetrate a girl’s circle of resistant friends to do a pickup, expect to be bomb not just with the girl, but to get some pretty nasty flak from her friends if you screw up.
When your mark is surrounded by friends, your task is not just isolated on how to pickup a girl, but on how to impress her friends as well. This makes the pickup much harder, but not impossible. You just have to build up confidence with women and a warm attitude that cozies and disarms people around you.
Inappropriate Settings
Would you honestly try to pickup a girl during a kid’s birthday party? It may be statistically possible, but don’t try to pickup girls anywhere and anytime unless you like the bitter taste of being bombed over and over again.
Try to find the right settings for a pickup: a bar on a slow night, a social party and a mixer are a couple of examples where the setting is ideal for a pickup.
Bad Moods
One of the leading rules in learning how to pickup women is to identify those who are looking to be picked up. Would you try picking up a girl who’s staring out into space, with her brow furrowed deeply while furiously tapping a finger on a desk? Forcing yourself on a woman who’s not looking will result in yet another bomb to add to your record.
Learn how to read the mood of a girl and if she wants to be picked up: when she’s scanning the crowd for guys, matching glances with you, and sitting around hoping to be picked up are signs that a girl is a potential mark for a pickup.
In Conclusion
And there you have four simple red lights to avoid when learning how to pickup women: a taken woman, protective friends, inappropriate settings and a bad mood. While it may be possible to pickup a girl despite all these red lights, the chances that you bomb are much, much higher compared to marks that don’t have all these red lights attached to them.
Keep your ego intact: just avoid the red lights, and the chances of you scoring a pickup will be much greater than if you decided to push through with a risky pickup.
