How to Pickup Guys: Part 1



How to Pickup Guys
Part 1: How to attract attention

Who’s that hot guy? I wonder if he knows I exist? Does he notice me? If you want to pickup someone, these questions should not come into your mind. Attention is key. The first step, is to be visible, appear funny and approachable. Compiled from advice of various sources, this is how to do it best:

Peacocking – for those out there to pick up anyone
If you have read book ‘The Game’, this will not be a new concept. It involves you being brave, and wearing something outrageous – be it a neon yellow t-shirt / a Russian fur hat / sunglasses bigger than your face – it does not matter. Take a cactus, a jar of pins or a teapot with you! When you enter a bar, a library, a cafe – you have to be visible. Attract Attention! It does not necessarily need to look good, but if it does, even better!
In this way it makes you more approachable, becomes an ice-breaker and attributes a sense of humour to you already – something we all love!

Subtle Peacocking – for those out there to pick up that one person
This concept I have developed myself especially for ladies. The guy will not even know what hit him.
Find an item that will not attract a crowd, but only gain attention from the person you talk to (are interested in). It could be a t-shirt with a print ‘I (heart) BJ’ or even better it could be a special necklace (let’s say made of pasta twists), carrot earrings or anything quirky. Make sure it compliments you, and is located on one of the following areas: on your chest, neckline or other places of your body considered attractive by men.
This form of peacocking will not only attract attention to your item, making it a conversation starter etc, but also to your beauty parts, say – the boobs. What is more, it will only attract those you speak to, so you can avoid all random weirdos that could come up to you, as it often happens with traditional peacocking.

Funny Dances
We all know how to dance to ‘Gangnam Style’ but when it comes  to awkward non-dancable pieces, we  move awkwardly and our attention drifts into the room, looking around. Why not use this in our advantage? Instead of grooving with everyone, start your own thing – moves like ‘ironing’, ‘submarine’ or ‘egyptians’. Sync it with your friends or try to get people involved, and you will instantly become centre of attention!
From the side it looks like you are having a great time, and that’s what guys love. You appear funny and approachable and, can be used by you to move in on your target. Finally, if they haven’t noticed you yet, this is your chance.
Some of my own favourite moves can be found here:


Remember – be brave and funny, it will pay off! However, attracting attention is only part of the deal. Read more next week, of how to use and abuse the power of attraction in transforming that attention into your desirable result. I will tell you about ‘3 steps’, the popular ‘neg’, as well as ‘nicknames’ and more!
