This is like right out of Tyler Durden, a la "10 Funky Ways to Attract Your Soul Mate" or whatever. He said these articles are written by geeks who don't get laid. I guess bartenders don't get laid either. I can see it now. AFC says, "I drink Manhattans because my grandfather did." HB10 says, "you are so interesting. Let's go fuck in the ladies bathroom."

That is some weak shit...

Goes against everything i've ever learned

“Splurge on a nice glass of champagne (think Cristal) and send it over to the woman you’re interested in. This works better than anything I’ve ever seen. It shows a guy’s not cheap and that he’s interested enough in the girl to spend some money on her. It’s smooth, impressive—and works almost every time!”

Yah the fuck right...

Works almost every time....on the girl who just wants a free drink.
She's not going to say no to it right?

And maybe it works almost every time on the 1 girl he does it to.

Ahh but you missed the gem. There is one piece of amazing advice in this article...

Stick to the three-minute rule
“From what I’ve seen, a woman’s usually made up her mind about a guy in the first three minutes—and I’ve never seen anyone’s mind change after that. So guys should go in for the pickup, but if three minutes go by and she’s not warming up, they should cut their losses and move on.”
—David Cerequas, Craftbar, New York

Moral: SCREEN HARD. Don't waste time on women who are not interested. There are a lot of reasons why it could be. Next her and move on. Time is money boys.

Also ... bartenders often give pick up advice tainted by their own personal experiences. They use approaches requiring DHV which, in their environment, they already have. Always consider who is giving advice as much as the advice itself. Context is everything.

My first impression was that they got this advice from bartenders who work in very upscale bars in big cities. So they may be seeing a lot of guys wearing expensive suits who slam a Mazerati key chain on the bar before buying the lady a drink.

The second thing that ran through my head was, "lemon drop? Is it 1997 again?"

Guess there will be a whole lot more guys getting the women buzzed for free this weekend. The only thing you will get following that advice is an empty wallet.

Why complain? This advice out there means more ladies for us .
