The Pick Up Artist - Some Characteristics • Looks and height. All other factors being the same, women will generally be more attracted to taller or better-looking men. However, if you are short or ugly, that is absolutely no excuse to feel sorry for yourself. There are plenty of successful venusian arists who aren't very tall or classically attractive. Looks and height are real factors, and should be taken into account — but they aren't dealbreakers. • Being healthy and in shape. Although it's possible to eat wrong, avoid the gym, and still pick up girls, men who stay fit are simply more attractive to women. This really has a big effect on results; people who work out not only look better, but they also give off a better energy in social interactions. • Hygiene and grooming. These are essential. Stay clean and well-groomed, and keep your breath smelling fresh. Don't be a scrub. • Fashion sense. People who don't know how to dress are completely oblivious to how bad their clothes look in the eyes of people who do know how to dress (most of whom are women.) Dressing poorly also conveys a lack of social intelligence, which is a demonstration of lower value. Anyone who isn't being regularly complimented on his clothes should get a fashion consultant to help fix this problem. • Being comfortable. It's often stressed that one should be confident. But the truth is that the most important state of mind in pickup is one of comfort. Your body language should reflect this. Relax, and take up space in a comfortable way. Lean back and make yourself at home. • Smiling and having a sense of humor. Men who don't get laid usually don't smile. There are a lot of guys walking around who don't look happy. Be the guy who is having a good time and who makes other people feel good. Don't take yourself too seriously. • Not being needy. A typical man with high survival and replication value is probably doing fine with his finances. He probably has access to sex. He is probably comfortable in terms of his health and physical needs. Thus, he is not a needy person. It's important to convey this sense of abundance and to really feel it. When you lust after an outcome, women will pick up on this and perceive you as a low value guy — and women are not programmed to have sex with desperate, low value guys. • Being unaffected. In keeping with the above line of thought, don't be reactive or try to impress people. The person trying to impress is perceived to be the one with lower status. Similarly, don't make excuses for yourself, and don't come across as someone seeking a reaction, or seeking attention, validation or understanding. • Having a life. Be ambitious and stay in shape. Have a strong identity and purpose in your life. Have friends and tend to your social circle. • There are many other ways to convey value — through your game, your body language, your pre-suppositions, your social interactions, and so on. http://www.squidoo.com/APickUpArtist

The Pick Up Artist Like a comedian, a pickup artist is also a performing artist. A pickup artist's task is to captivate a small group of people long enough to convey specific personality characteristics which ultimately make him interesting to the one woman in the group that he has his eye on. The material he runs is like a vehicle that he uses to convey his personality to the group — and obliquely, to her. When a comedian tells a joke, people say, "That's a good joke." But when he strings several good jokes together, people say "he's hilarious." It is no longer the matenal that takes the acclaim, but the comedian himself.
