I refuse to take a womens pic at the bar and I always get "are you serious?" and I always look at them with a smile and say "dead" or "yes" or w.e.

Now what would you guys do after this? I mean it is a bit of a dick move so ther must be some good come backs?

I have a really good 'routine' that I use every time with this... And it has gotten me LAID multiple times.

They ask to take the picture.

I say "Ok" and grab the camera.

Then I take a self portrait of myself making a lame face.

Then laugh and they'll beg you to take a picture of them, so I do.

Then I tell them that we need a picture together, so I'll have one of the uglier friends take another one of me and my target.

Great way to open, on your terms, and you are kinda self amusing and leading...

I've full closed off of this, but also it's easy to exchange facebook names because you have pictures together...

Do you know them or do you not know them? If you don't know them just let them know they haven't done anything yet to deserve a picture and that they still have alot of work to do. I would play of this and make her work the rest of the time just to make me take a picture. At this point I would most likely apply the "Point System" where she loses points for dumb s$#@ and gains points for not doing dumb s#$@.

PUA 4 LIFE
This isn't a trend, it's a lifestyle

I often use a kiss test with women to see how into me they are....I will neg them a little and then when they test me by asking for somthing I will say...."hmmm....what are you going to do for me?" then they will say I dont know so I say "Give me a kiss on the cheek and we will call it even".

I could use this because In my eyes if a girl is willing to give you a kiss on the cheek then she is prob into you am I wrong? and at that point you could assume that she wont just walk away right?

New to the PUA thing but been picking up for years. The other guys are steering you right.

HB- Hey guy take our picture..

PUA- No thanks not ready for the commitment (or other witty banter)

HB- Are you serious.

PUA- How about I meet you half way. Engage them ala Brad- by taking a self portrait. Watch closely for IOI's do they want to see the snap? Do the comment on it? Don't offer it right away try to hold the camera to yourself to have them move to see it.

HB- Allright now us.

PUA- One last pic first. Stand with them for a group photo you or a wing takes.

Then if you haven't been frozen out yet snap their pic. Again hold the camera close as before. Toss out an open Neg at the couple/group.

PUA- I think we need to do this again! (making disgusted face at photo)
Try to get them to pose for you. Assert some control. Take a few photo's and be fun about it. Follow it up with an Austin Powers "I'm spent" sit down with the camera again having her/them come to you.

Ideal scenario for an easy email/facebook/myspace close.

I'm curious, what leads up to you whipping out your camera and taking a pic?

I guess I left my answer open. In mine I was referring to using their camera. This will aid in a comfortable reason for her to provide her info (email/facebook/myspace) to allow you to see the photo.

Please start from the approach. I'm a little lost.

All of the idea's that people have said so far seem good in an ideal world but we all know things can go the other way and girls can say all kinds of things.....

I need somthing that no matter what the girl can not think im a dick or turn it around on me.

What do you have against taking pictures?

It makes you look like a moron lol next time a guy is taking a picture watch how dumb he looks....and then he looks even more dumb when they walk away!

You won't get any where fearing what you might look like to a bunch of guys who stand around scared to do anything because they're afraid of looking dumb. This is in fact the AFC anthem. "No!~~~ They're all going to laugh at you!"

Your goal is not to look this way or that. Your goal is to PICK UP women. So when any women approach in any way or form, the first thing you think about is PICKING them up, not will I look this way or that way to dumb guys who go to bars to stand around.

I was just wondering if this "camera" thing was some hard rule coming out of some "Pick Up School Camp" or whatever. I don't think I've ever turned down camera duty and I think I do alright in bars . . .

Instruct them like little monkeys. Stand this way, stand that way. "You put your hand here." "Make a sad face! . . .make a crazy face!" "Are your eyes closed?" "You're not stoned are you?" Zoom in on their breasts, snap a shot. "Oh this came out great" . . . "Wait, wait . . . you guys need a bar shot. Let's go to the bar. . . " Get yourself in a photo. Share contacts. Tell them you want a copy of the photo.

You can do what ever the hell you want to do. After you'rd done taking the photo, just put it in your pocket and just continue conversation like nothing happened. . .

Play it by ear and flow with it. Live through life with too many hard rules and you'll miss out on a lot of fun . . .
