The Pickup Artist
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007on VH1. Starring Mystery.
This show is frigging hiLARious. I love it. A few years ago I read “The Game” by Neil Strauss which is also all about this whole pickup thingy.
Guys, it works. I hate to admit it. Just about every “trick” I’ve heard on the show or read in the book undoubtedly will work most of the time. EVEN on a girl, like me, who’s aware of what you’re doing. That’s so sad, isn’t it?
Well, with one exception, for me anyway. The “neg” — at least the ones that are basically a backhanded compliment. I hate those. They piss me off.
Anyway, my real post topic is — where the hell are the pickup guidelines for women who want to pick up hot men? Stop laughing. I’m serious.
There’s this idea out there that it’s a snap for a girl to get laid. Well, ok, yeah, in its most literal interpretation, that’s true. But, just like for men, it’s the *really* hot guys/girls who have almost no problem. There’s also the added fact (or broad generalization) that women have higher standards for who they want to sleep with. That could be a whole post on its own, but yeah, I could easily *just* get laid. I do NOT get hit on by guys that are super hot.
Oh, and I’m not saying that I’m only interested in those out of the world model type guys any more than most guys are only interested in out of the world model type women. But, it would be nice to know how to hit on them.
Great, now that I’m done watching the show I can’t remember what I wanted to babble about. I guess there’s always next time.
Oh, and I went out bar-hopping kind of on Friday. Why the HELL are all the really REALLY hot guys gay and hanging out at gay bars? WTF? Dammit. Now I’m both horny AND ornery.
