Sarging and the Art of the Pick-up

[Andail]

I think it's important to remember that there is a vast difference between picking up strangers at a pub or a club, and meeting a life partner.

The former is indeed a sort of game, and you need to play it right to succeed. You can't enter a dancefloor and believe that your kind heart and good manners will get you anywhere.
Likewise, if you really want a serious relationship with someone you know well and are in love with, you won't succeed using cheap tricks you learnt in a book.

So if you don't think that you can play that special game, don't go there. Don't go to a club just to sit in a corner and hope that women will approach you and start investigating your beautiful mind and kind spirit.
Instead, conjure for just a mere minute the illusion that you are irresistable, that you own the world, because if you don't think so yourself, other people won't.
Good looks is not at all necessary to attract even the drop dead gorgeous women (I'm a living proof of that). Heck, if you're self confident despite being ugly, it's even more impressive.

But if all else fails, at least you have Andail.

And CJ.

And Eric.

Is one woman worth 3 men?

I don't like playing games.  I'm very direct and up-front.

My last approach played out like this:

I approached.
Me: "Hi... Jeremy" (emphasis on my name so she knew I was saying basically "I'm Jeremy")
Her: "Susanne."
Me: "Married?"
Her: "nope."
Me: "Boyfriend?"
Her: "nope."
Me: "Dinner?"
Her: ** giggle ** "Sure!"

Granted after 10 more minutes of conversation I realized I had made a mistake and conveniently wormed my way out of the previously mentioned dinner.  But still ... it worked.

The direct approach, no games, no bullshit ... it's always worked for me.

Now if I could just learn how NOT to be so damn picky I might actually hold onto a relationship.

Is there a book for that??

[kaputtnik]

How about the next time you meet a girl, you start a conversation about that book you've read, and how you totally felt that this was the wrong way to approach a girl like her, because she is just too special for the professional pick up book to handle? - Bingo, I'd say!

Flesh. Light.

kaputtnik, and then bring your mother as your wingman and say "My mom was just saying that you're no good for me but I think you're very pretty..." and now you have a common enemy and she has something to prove.

And here is the root of the problem ... 99% of women (and men, let's face it) are rubbish.

See, perfect match.

Tell women that you have an over-sized penis, they will get curious, then ask them if they want to see it.
It's that easy!

[Domino]

Tell women that you have 2 penises, Instant Score!!! 

wait, well, they might call you a freak and run away.

[Sam.]

Am I the only person who has read this whole thread and still doesn't know what sarging is?

How to trick sexy womenfolk bedwards? I wonder what other geek cliches can be discussed on these forums?
Where friends live and how to catch some. Sport, the secret rules to make them easy.

[Domino]

I think Sarging is Rape. 

[Ryan Timothy B]

How about: Losing weight while playing computer games and eating super-sized McDonald's meals -- without moving ones fat ass.





Actually wait, I'd pay to read that book.

Sweet Jesus. People are having sex with things I keep in my tool box!?! What is this world coming too? Back in my day, they had blow up dolls. Now they have these Real Dolls (and Flesh Lights, apparently). Pretty soon, the human race will cease to exist because we're dry humping appliances instead of having drunken, regret-filled sex with people we don't like very much.

If it was good enough for my parents, it ought to be good enough for the rest of us!

Off to sex up my air mattress now.

Good idea...
Might go and see if they have any in the secnd-hand shop tomorrow.

Be honest, you mean pay to have someone read it to you

but leave out all the boring bits, and do voices for all the parts

[kaputtnik]

kaputtnik, and then bring your mother as your wingman and say "My mom was just saying that you're no good for me but I think you're very pretty..." and now you have a common enemy and she has something to prove.

I doesn't even have to be your mom, you can just go up to her and say: "You know, that guy over there paid me $10 to tell you he thinks you are fat - but, man, is he wrong!" - that way you will even outsmart all the losers who have read the book, but are too shy to insult their victims themselves.

[Andail]

Interestingly, the night I met my current girlfriend, I had totally lost my voice.

And the very few words I bothered to whisper had to do with how lousily insulated British houses are.

So all my eloquence and verbal prowess went to waste. Luckily!

[Nikolas]

When I met my current wife  I didn't have to say anything. I was playing at a concert one of my pieces 8-9 years ago and then SHE approached me and asked me to be friends... Never been apart since then!

[Nacho]

Conclussion: We must learn to play piano. If it worked for a horrible big nosed guy as Nikolas, it can work to everybody!
