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.
