Art of Pickup

What is the art of pick-up? The art, for me, is in the meaningful encounter and the meaning to the encounter which the pick-up artist infuses through his art, meaning being so devoid from the everyday encounter which permeates and harrasses our day-to-day existence. And just as the meaning is in the encounter, the pick-up artist never dwells in the moment he has created, however fantastic it may be, but moves dutifully onto the next encounter, seeking the same meaning from nothing that he infused into the previous encounter, because his art lies in his finesse, and without his finesse his art is no more than the everyday.

Does this actually mean anything? This sounds like twaddle to me, and I don't like twaddle, not even from PUA.

Does sound like the kind of stuff that would work on women though.

True. It works on me. But I think I have a low testosterone level.

{sigh} It's not so much about "all this stuff" working.. social dynamics is a theory, which you can apply the scientific method, and thus make it repeatable.

I mean, does this "Psychology" and "Sociology" stuff work? lol

Oooh! A bell curve fan, like myself -- I actually own a Murray-autographed copy.

Gotcha via Roissy. Added as favorite.

Viva the differential psychology community.
