hmm,
before I even get into the core of your question I have at least a few thougthts, take em with a grain of salt, but consider this from your teachers perspective....

I'm doing a research paper for highschool on pick up.

I don't get laid as much as I'd like.
I would respectfully recommend keeping the topic of getting "laid" out of your research paper...
Quote:
pick up so effective on women?
Why does it have to be just women?... lets face it... women pickup guys too... give your teacher both sides of the coin
Lastly,
Research papers usually require some sitation of actual material and not just forum posts...
Almost every book ever written about PUA addresses this issue to some degree... MAYBE a little homework is in order???
ok now that thats over...
why does pickup work?
Let’s start by defining what Pickup actually is... what is pickup.. Is it a community? Is it a technique? A series of techniques, manufactured Attraction… While I’m not going to write your paper for you, why not explore this concept… take a few paragraphs and address What actually defines pickup this will be your opener and thesis statement.
Without completely plagiarizing MPUA’s here are some additional thoughts to explore in your paper…
1) WHAT if pickup is more about your internal state than your external “FRAME” or mindset?
This is actually not a crazy concept… I mean I'm reading an excerpt of a phone conversation with Christiano Jr. and JSmooth from his blog
http://jsmooth26.blogspot.com/2009/01/c ... no-jr.html
...check out what he says, Christiano is like.. the key is to find something your passionate about, life experiences, true passions or even just interests… when you talk about these items you don’t have to use canned material.. because it just flows.
SINN just talked about this as well in a recent post about someone claiming their life was boring
im-boring-vt43356.html?highlight=
the key is to develop a interesting life rich with life experience
2) Attraction switches… really this is WHAT pickup IS… call it what you will.. but mystery says it pretty well in the venetian arts. Pickup is about Spiking the Attraction Punch with all these attitudes, actions, and attributes (wither perceived or actual) to proverbially “flip the switch” that tells a women, this guy is attractive.
3) If you still need more info… consider this compare and contrast… WOMEN PUA vs. Men PUA… what are the differences… What are the similarities… aka. What to men look for in an attractive women.. a women who is going out to “Pick up” a guy is going to do what? Vs. a man who is going out to Pickup women. How are the social dynamics different? What about the perceived social pressures that define the actions?
Lastly I want to follow up with a quote from a blog post AGAIN from JSmooths Blog (I swear he is gonna owe me royalties after this post =)
Tripp is talking about attraction, but read the differences here

When a girl is this confident, she's considered aggressive. For some guys, this is a good thing, for others it's not. Most girls realize this and only those that really don't care what people think will be this brave.
When a guy is this confident, it's VERY attractive to almost all girls. The girl wants the leader. Most guys aren't so worried about the girl being a leader among her piers, just that she's attractive in his eyes.
And if that doesn’t give you enough to at least get started on writing that paper… idk what will
