Love Bucket: The Only Pick-Up Line You’ll Ever Need

February 18th, 2012 Posted in Attention, Dating, Mating, Relating, The Man Class Series

In The Man Class Accelerator, there is an awesome interview with Stephen Nash, known as Playboy in the book, The Game.

Now, The Man Class is not simply about dating and picking up women.  In fact, The Man Class is about keeping a good woman happy and filling her love bucket.

Valentine’s is over and the pressure is off, so to speak, but dating continues.  You have to meet her first to fill her love bucket.

To begin dating, a guy needs to have a great conversation starter or pick up line. Your opener is important.  It is the way that you give and get her attention.

Stephen has one that he says works about 90% of the  time.  He said that he grew so weary of the mass amounts of pick up lines and gimmicks that he developed a very simple, elegant and smooth way of approaching women in any/all circumstances.  The following is in Stephen’s own words:

That’s it.

TRY THIS FOR YOURSELF.

Why does it work so well? 

A few reasons:

1) You aren’t overtly hitting on her.  All you say is that you “noticed” her which always piques her interest.  Inevitably, she will reply to your statement with “Well, what did you notice?” (so, be ready for that).

2) You pace the reality of this being slightly awkward and different when you say “risk complete embarrassment”.  She will relax when you say this as it confirms to her that you are aware that this is not the norm.

3) You tell her your name, which is polite WHILE patting yourself on the back a bit by honoring the fact that this is a “risk”.

Does this phrase automatically insure that you get a date with her?  Of course not.  But it does guarantee that you get a conversation with her around 90% of the time.  Women respond to direct, romantic gestures very well…if you do this technique, you will see what I mean.

Being direct conveys a lot of REALLY GOOD things to women.  And, I have found that this technique is the only romantic pick up line that isn’t terribly cheesy and that truly, actually works.

Try it!

And here’s a list of places to meet women that does not include a bar or club:

1. Seminars/Events

2. Dog Parks

3. Concerts

4. Home Depot

5. Plane or Train Travel

6. Online Chat and Networking

7. Sporting Events

8. 8 at 8 Dinner Party for 8 Strangers

1. “Hey, I love your shoes (or handbag, or coat, etc.)!” Who doesn’t love being complimented?! This is an easy, non-awkward way to start conversation and get brownie points at the same time.

2. “Hi, I would love to get you a drink.” Perfect for when you spot someone in a bar setting. It’s simple and direct. Try not to sound cheesy…it’s pretty easy with this one. And PLEASE, take “no” for an answer. Persistence is not the key here, it just weirds people out and makes everyone uncomfortable.

3. “What kind of dog is that?” Everyone loves talking about their little pal. It shows you’re interested and instantly gives you something to talk about. As e-Harmony says, if you’re feeling brave/witty, add “Does he/she have a phone number?”

4. “Are you single?” I agree, this sounds scary and forward. But after working for a matchmaker, and actually USING this line in real life, I can assure you it’s not as awkward as you might think. If you ask with your most charming smile and maybe even with a little laugh (like you know this is very direct, but you’re going for it!) then if the answer is “no,” most people will be impressed with your straightforward approach.

5. “Nice to meet you, I’m ____ and you’re beautiful!” With a lot of people, flattery will get you everywhere. This approach is again, very direct, but could also brighten someone’s day and your chances of grabbing a date.

7. “How much does a polar bear weight? Enough to break the ice!” This classic, marginally cheesy pickup line is actually pretty sweet and funny. Who doesn’t enjoy a joke? This can show you don’t take yourself TOO seriously, which in the dating world is definitely a plus.

8. “Excuse me, but you have something on your face,” (when she goes to wipe it off stop her and say) “No, no leave it. It’s beauty.” Ok, this actually made me laugh out loud. Yes, it’s super cheesy, but if a cutie came up to me and said this, I don’t think I could resist. Actually, I might start using this. Watch out, boys!

Basically, most of these fun and direct pickup lines are a great way to start the conversation and involve that person you’ve been eyeing.
