Some dude from yahoo answers had a cool question. Now, its obvious he hasnt taken my secret quiz, but ignore that, and focus on his question, and how I answer it.

Question: I was out with my friends the other night and one of my friends asked me to be wingwan. Anyways we were talking to some girls and he said to one of the girls “sorry i coughed in ur ear but baby ur butt is smoking”. Who else has used/or heard bad pick up lines?

Answer:

Dude, I am going to REVEAL the secret to you about bad-lines… Its a secret that not even women know (conciously at least). Let me start-off with a story before I tell you about the secret… see… I had a bunch of friends who had this bet thing going on… It went like this “I bet you a 100$ that you can’t give me a line that I will bomb with”… And they always won. No matter how bad, or idiotic or stupid of a line you gave one of them, they’d approach a girl, and she’d be smiling and flirting with them.

The secret is: There are no bad lines, only bad line-deliveries. Now obviously, this was just to prove a point, and you don’t wanna go around and bombard random women with creepy, cheesey lines… But you do wanna focus on how you approach the woman, before you say anything. Here’s what these guys did in order to make any line work.

1) First, they’d align themselves to the woman, make sure they stand in her line of sight… Catch her eye, and smile with a very friendly, very approachable smile. Because, see, the number one reason for women reacting badly to an approach is you coming out of nowhere, with no eye-contact and basically dropping on her out of nowhere and startling her
2) Approach her, while holding a super-friendly and approachable vibe
3) Adjust based on the line. If its a stupid, corny, dumb line, he delivers it in such a way where he’s sub-communicating “Hey, this is a funny stupid line, i’m pretending to be a dumbass to make you laugh”… If the line is stupid, he literally delivers it almost in a way as if he’s making fun of dumbasess who use a line like that. Almost like a parody.

My point to you is. I want you to pick a line, and go approach women you like, until you get to the point that every woman reacts well to that line (or atleast 9  out of 10 women). Obviously you don’t have to (and shouldn’t) pick a super-dumb horrible line… Just pick an ok one, and do it. The goal is to develop your non-verbals and how you come across to the point where you always get great reactions. That way you practice YOU, how YOU come across instead of continually looking for pick-up-lines. By continually changing the pick-up-line, you’re blaming the line for bombing, instead of adjusting your approach (how you come across).
