Girl Game

A world-famous pickup artist tried to teach single women to attract decent guys in S.F. It was harder than he thought.

For the entire evening, Walters had refused to abandon her natural aggression, and contrary to everything the coaches tried to instill, in the end she became the night's greatest success.

Upon entering Rye, she scanned the room and quickly decided that the most attractive man there, by far, was coach Whim. She stood close to him by the side wall, and made easy conversation about the night's events, how each woman fared, and pickup strategies in general.

"So, how am I doing?" she asked, defying her instructions one last time. Whim smiled, and they left the bar holding hands.

    the problem with women being the pickup artists is demonstrated here in this article: even when the women walked up and initiated conversation... they still needed the guy to impress them. About half the time, they initiated a conversation then decided the guy didn't work for them for... (insert reason). The truth is, when you're "picking up" you've already decided "hey i want to take you home" and the whole interaction is designed to follow that. You don't approach to get impressed, you approach to impress and take home.

    Most of the women featured in this article are average-looking at best. The only decently attractive ones are Pattee and Lin. I bet that those women all have massive egos and think that they "deserve" a guy who is out of their league, as they don't want to settle for a man who is their equal on the attractiveness scale. If those women are all in their mid-30s, time is running out for them if their end goal is to get married and have kids.
