Hey guys, I'm 20 and want to become a little better at picking up girls.
Here's my story: In middle school, I really wasn't much of a social guy, I was pretty quiet. But I changed that and now I find it a lot easier talking to people and I like doing it as well. The only problem that I have is talking to girls. Or to be more specific: Talking sexually to girls. Of course I know how to do the boring, casual "how's it going?" talk but I just don't know how to become really interesting. For example: I have a hard time picking up girls in clubs simply because I don't know how to have an interesting conversation with them. A lot of friends of mine have no problem talking to girls and get a girl every time they go clubbing, while they aren't even better looking than me.

Well, I hope to improve myself while I'm here.
Cheers!

hey my advice is that you have to be relaxed. The girls will sense nervousness in you and thus, raising their guards up. Come with a playful vibe, you will see that they will respond positively. I think you shouldn't think of what will you say next because it will make you look needy and "up to something" instead, be confident and always think that they are attracted to you. Ask yourself, "what will I do if I know that this girl is attracted to me?" trust me, it will help you like it helped me. Bottomline is, you don't need to worry about picking them up, they are always attracted to you. all you need to do is to turn those attraction switches on. goodluck

Thanks, Eyyt! I have a bit of AA (not that much though). I think if I just talk to more and more girls in clubs and try to pick them up here and there I will get better at making chit-chat. The last time I went out I talked to multiple girls outside of the club. I had no problem going up to talk to them (I was a bit tipsy, maybe that was it) and they seemed to like talking to me. I didn't try hooking up because my friends were waiting inside and they were going to another club. But after I was inside, my friend and I wanted to go sarging (he doesn't know PUA so we didn't call it that). But eventually we were too chickenshit to even go up to one girl. So yeah, better fix that next time.

But I had a newbie question and didn't want to make a new thread for this: Is it really necessary to read those books from Mystery, Gunwitch, Ross Jeffries etc? I really don't feel like doing all of this. Not because I'm lazy or anything, but I feel like it's more important to gain experience and just going out in the field trying things. I've got more than enough reading material in this forum alone. Also, I think Mystery looks like a gigantic douchebag. What do you guys think?

Also, I did read the 15 lessons in the book of Pook, was an interesting read but don't know how much it helps me in picking up girls.

If you have any available time, you can read them. You can learn alot from those PUAs because they have what we call "experience". You can try most things in the field but having the knowledge they taught, you have less chances of having rejected. But most importantly, do what you want, we are just here to guide you. Goodluck sarging!
