Don't go into the party with the intention to pick up women. Go to the party with the intention of having fun and bring the women along for the ride. Women go to parties to have fun, if you're obviously just trying to hook up they can tell as almost every other AFC is trying to do the same damn thing. Just meet people, laugh, drink, and enjoy the evening. If you see a girl who seems to be worth the effort or if you just feel like dancing or talking to someone go for it, but only do it because it'll make the night more awesome not because you need the validation. As for the talking part, talk to them like you would talk to any guy, just add a strong sexual frame and some balls. Most importantly, don't hold yourself back.
When I enter a party the first thing I do is approach my group of friends. On the way there I'll open a set or two and plant a few seeds, but going straight for the social circle is a fantastic way of showing DHV, social proof, and a carefree attitude all at once. Be the fun guy who's the life of the party and you'll be off to a great start; it's up to you to take it from there. Good luck sir
