VH1’s Pickup Artist

I have noticed many posts lately where people have opened sets and been called out on the show. I also had a similar experience the other night, but I was not using a canned routine. My buddy was the one that got called out on it, (he basically did the “hey this shit is not free” when the chick touched him) and we basically responded with “oh yea, we love that show,” to try and take the wind out of the fact that they were calling him out.

I think it is time that we all start to contribute more original material to the forum. I have seen a lot here and there, but it seems that most people are still using canned openers, the cube, 5 questions ect… on a regular basis.

And yes these are good when you are starting out, but they get old quick, and now everyone who watched VH1 knows them! I have found that it doesn’t matter whether you do the cube or “5 questions,” the most important thing is that you stand out. You have to come across as fun. Women will love you if they always expect surprises from you.

This is true in relationship mode as well, whether it is serious or just a mLTR. It is not some complicated psychological phrasing; it is mostly the subconscious things that build attraction, like body language, confidence, and curiosity.


Women want to be entertained. When you open a set, you are basically naked on a stage in front of them and you must perform. However, you must not show them that you are acting; the best actors are the ones who don’t even look as though they are acting. They come across as characters in and of themselves.

It is natural for men to approach women, and contrary to how they act, they want us to approach them. But guys, come one, you have to be unique!! All of the Classic mystery stuff is out in the open now. It is basically dead because many women know it. I have seen some great original stuff on the forum. I suggest we organize a sort of group brainstorm for more original ideas. -ULTRA

I've been posting new stuff for as long as I've been coming here. But, not many others do. I'd post more if others would do the same.

Ok, here's one we did on Friday.

Rhody points at a HB8.5
Rhody: How about her?
Omni: I'll say 2
Neil: I say 3
Rhody: I'm gonna say none. She looks like too much of a good girl. So how many tattoos do you have?
HB: 3
Neil: I knew it

We did this several times. It always seemed to at least open. Often, it gets them pulling their pants down to show you their tramp stamp. With the HB above, I teased her about rebelling against her strict Baptist parents. Unfortunately, we couldn't decide whose set it was and we let her get away. Damn! Next time I'm just taking it!

I don't normally use opinion openers, but when I do they a personally relevent to me. This way there is no "acting" it is totally congruent with how I feel.
I'll give you 3 random ones I used within the past few days
by the way I don't do that let me get your opinion part. It just seems needy to me.

(walking down a hall in my dorm eye contact for awile before we finally meet)
Hey!... how do you feel about girls who pick up guys in dorm hallways?

(getting in an elevator she nearly shuts the door on me!)
Hey!... do you always shut the door on guys like that? That's kinda messed up :p

I'm not sure if those are really opinion openers, more situational, hmmm this is making me think... you guys better buy me doughnuts or something when I'm don with this.

(during day game)
Hey... do you guys prefer parties or clubs? (bridge to dhv stories here you have to have some for those)



Opinion openers are for people who aren't living in the present. Look around you, be in the present and there will always be something that the girls can relate to. My most effective openers are much more direct than these.
Your reality is more powerful than theirs, and there is always plenty to talk about if you just open your eyes and look around you.
Fuck training wheels I want to ride the motorcycle :p

I thought of another from a post that I put earlier in this forum that didn't get answered... thanks for that now I have to resort to asking girls. I will field test this tomorow, but my intuition says it will work.

Hey guys... how can a guy wave sexily?
(this leaves shitloads of room for role playing, calling them retards for waving like a dude, and actual learning for me.)
