Let me tell you a little story.

Over 18 years ago there was this really great guy. We were good friends and spent most of our free time together. He was a super handsome guy – I mean not only handsome, he was some sort of a model.

He had this gift when it came to meeting girls. There really weren’t any who could resist him. I mean, they would keep approaching him and they all behaved like they were hypnotized.

No matter what place we went to, be it a club, a bar, a library, even at a gas-station, he always somehow managed to find the most stunning girl I had ever seen, and he always got their number. Every single time.

Amazing. Shocking.

Needless to say that it was fun sticking around with him, as I’d always profit from his pickups, (the girls had “friends”of course).

The question was: How did he do that?

I remember that I always thought, “No problem.  If I had his Brat-Pitt-meets-George-Clooney-face, I would be a lady-killer too”.

So I thought.

Unfortunately we then lost sight of each other for some time.

Almost 12 years later I was in a bar when suddenly a hand grabbed my shoulder. It was my lost friend. But what had happened to him? I nearly didn’t recognize him. He was a shadow of his former self.

He had lost most of his hair, gained at least 60 pounds weight and one of his front teeth was missing. It was a shock!

But he was still this great and fun guy to be with, and we really had fun that day!

Just as I thought that his great time with the ladies was likely over, (I admit, I’ve always been a little jealous), three gorgeous looking girls entered the place and went straight for the bar.

He immediately stood up and headed straight in their direction.

I was dead certain that he had gone completely loco. Most certainly they would rip his head off.

He disappeared out of my site, so after 15 minutes I went looking for him and expected to find him destroyed in some corner.

He was far from that. I never would have expected what I was about to see.

He stood there leaning at the bar while surrounded by these beauties.  The hottest one was literally hanging at his lips, consuming greedily every word he was saying, laughing, everyone enjoying themselves.

Unbelievable.

(Tony, if you are reading this, you are my all time hero!)

Then it suddenly hit me. I simply got it. It was like a revelation.

Being successful with girls has nothing to do with being physically attractive.

Period.

This also works for women:  you don’t have to be a model to attract guys.

Yes, I hear your question: what is it that makes someone attractive to somebody?

Ok, without further ado, here are 5 short tips for being more attractive than you may really be (this works for both, men and women):

1. Be different

Have you ever met someone and you instantly thought that this person was something else? He or she stood up against the crowd by behaving, talking and dressing different?

Be that person.

2. Be a stand-up comedian

Humor is a huge attraction booster. We feel comfortable around those who make us laugh.

There is actually a good book that teaches the principles of being funny, (yes, you can learn it). You might want to check it out: “Comedy Writing Secrets” by Melvin Helitzer.

3. Be cocky

Don’t say amen to everything – tease her/him, poke fun at her/him in a respectful way.

This is a core element of David DeAngelo’s philosophy.

4. Do not show (sexual) interest right away

Behave like this is your best friend. This goes especially for men, because men tend to be hypnotized by extremely beautiful women and behave unnaturally. This is usually a turn-off for the other person.

Just imagine that it’s your best buddy and behave accordingly.

5. Be an experienced conversationalist

This is something which really CAN be learned and practiced. Learn some main principles and practice, practice, practice.

Find some great tips to start with here.

There, you now have some short tips which I think will help improve your effect on women/men. I suggest that you work on them.

It certainly wouldn’t hurt if you had some knowledge about “The Game” (for some tips start here: for guys and girls).

Physical attraction helps. There’s no way around this.

But it’s not the ultimate goal getter.

There are some special traits you CAN develop which will boost your attractiveness with the other sex.

Learn it.

Practice it.

Apply it.

Then you can be like my friend, who will never be alone, as long there is one attractive female left on this earth.

But wait a minute. Didn’t I say that there is no such thing as magical pick up lines that make women loose their minds? And more importantly, didn’t I say that there is no such thing at all as a working pick up line?

Well, well, your right… and you’re not.

Actually, I also wrote that, if you had the right mindset and body language, you could say pretty much anything you like AND be successful. Practically that means you could go up to a beautiful woman, have the right body language, voice tone, a bright smile and say confidently: “Come here often?” and you WILL score. As simple as that. Of course you know it’s not simple at all, it takes month to develop the proper mindset.

So what do you actually say when approaching a hot woman?

Wait a minute.

First, allow me to specify the most common mistakes men are making when they approach a woman and deliver the line.

The most frequent mistake is clearly the importance and relevance men are giving to the pick up lines itself. I said it many times, you can use funny pick up lines, sweet pick up lines, corny pick up lines, they alone will not get you where you want to be. Some even may scare the girls away or make you look stupid.

Another very often made mistake is the delivery itself. Wrong body language, voice tone, low self esteem, insecurity, laughing and looking back at your friends. All signs that you are not standing behind the line. Non verbal communication is far more effective. The girl will feel like you make fun of her and she will react accordingly.

Having this in mind it should now be clear what you need, a line that conveys everything a girl likes when being approached. That is what the two best pick up lines will do. This is not manipulation, it’s honesty.

So, no more delaying, here it is, the ultimate, unbelievable, sensational, magical Best Pick Up Line Ever:

1. “Hi”

Am I kidding?

No.

Simply say “hi”. There is no hidden agenda behind it, no innuendo, no “routine”, just a friendly honest “hi”.

Well, the condition here is:

• to be natural
• to be spontaneous
• to be confident
• to have the right body language and voice tone

That is really all.

Of course this isn’t new, maybe you just have not thought about it in your search for the magical pick up line that simply doesn’t exist. David DeAngelo often said, that people are always looking for the shortcut, but they didn’t realize that this is actually a process, a state of mind you have to change.

So, this isn’t a pick up line per se, it’s more an introduction without saying your name. Nobody will turn away a “hi”. How it will continue after that solely depends on your experience and your ability to relax, to be confident and to let the conversation flow naturally.

I bet you are curious what the second of the 2 best pick up lines is.

Here is the second best pick up line ever:

2. “I like you and I would like to get to know you”

Say it slow, deliberate, emotionally intense and confident. Maintaining eye-contact is very important here.

What is the “magic” behind this pick up line?

• you are 100% honest
• you are playing no tricks
• you are conveying that you are confident and know what you want
• you are standing out of the crowd

Girls LOVE that.

I admit, it is not at all easy to walk up to a girl, especially if she’s stunningly beautiful and perform an opener like this. It takes courage and practice. But the biggest advantage is, if you are honest and not trying to play the cool guy, you can not do anything wrong.

Girls, tell me, how many men have ever approached you in this way? None? One? I guarantee you, you will experience a headrush and butterflies in your stomachs from this kind of approach.

It takes a real man to do it.

By the way, this is called a “direct opener” in the community (the guys who made a science out of this) and the guy who first wrote about it was Ranko Magami (Shark). To each saint his candle.

You have now the equipment to get started. Just remember to be natural and confident.

Now go out and meet some beautiful girls.

All the best,

Really?

No! Sorry to disappoint you.

The effect of pick up lines is the most overestimated and misinterpreted thing in the history of seduction and dating.

Unfortunately people really believe that they can overcome their shyness and inexperiences with women with one single magical line. They only have to deliver it somehow and the door to paradise opens for them. Is this funny or tragic?

In order to find this holy line, people take desperate measures. They try corny pick up lines, funny pick up lines, sweet pick up lines, baseless compliments and sexual innuendo, anything you can imagine. Like a girl would say to them: “wow, that’s disgusting, but here’s my number anyway, ’cause you’re stupid but cute”.

So pick up lines could never work. Because they deliver only one message: I’m afraid of you, so I’m playing games to hide.

ON THE OTHER HAND I strongly believe (and not only me) that with the right attitude, mindset and body language, you can literally say ANYTHING and be successful.

Guys, have you ever crashed and burned delivering corny pick up lines? I for one have. A long time ago. It’s not pleasant, this you can believe. But it’s a strong lesson.

Gals, I know you ask yourself why men are taking such desperate measures? The answer is simple: because they didn’t know better.

So, now that you know what I’m talking about, and as a warning for you how not to do it (not least to have a good laugh), here are the 11 worst corny pick up lines ever, enjoy:

1. Come here often?

An absolutely classic and uninspired line. I bet the most often used one.

2. Can I buy you a drink?

I had to mention this one. Hopeless and yet another classic. Sad.

3. Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night.

This is actually funny. You might get lucky with this one.

4. Are you a surgeon? Cause you’ve just took my heart away!

Cheesy.

5. When God made you, he was showing off.

No comment on that.

6. You know what would look really good on you? No, what? Me.

You might get in trouble for that.

7. Did it hurt? When u fell out of Heaven?

You might get your cheeks pinched for that.

8. Am I cute, or do you need another drink?

Pay the drink.

9. Is your dad in jail? Cuz he stole the stars and put them in your eyes.

You belong in jail.

10. Are you going to kiss me, or do I have to lie to my diary?

Lie.

11. Can I borrow a quarter? I promised my mom I would call her when I met the girl of my dreams.

Terrible, isn’t it?

I just wanted to show you how it’s done wrong and prepare you for one of my next groundbreaking articles on how it’s done the right way. You will learn the only two pick up lines you will ever need: The 2 Best Pick Up Lines Ever.

Stay tuned.

Oh, and by the way, “do you come here often?”.

On the other hand, maybe they will celebrate me, because most men want to be seduced. They pray for it. Like Jason Biggs said in American Pie: “Oh my God, she used me. I was used. I was used! Cool!”

Dear Gals, you want to seduce a man and you don’t know how to? Fear not. Help is on the way, for I write this article on ways how to seduce a man only for you. Like I did in my groundbreaking article how to approach a man, I thought about things I would fall for (and have been fallen for) and additionally asked Brigitte (the man-eater) for her main techniques.

I realize that there are two common situations here: you want to seduce your man, or you want to seduce any man. Either way, the principles are the same. It really comes down to hitting that “hidden switch” that turns the man on. Unfortunately this specific switch is different to every man. Sometimes it is not even related to physicalness. It can be a word, an image in his head, an expectation. On other times you can trigger it with an simple smile, a lascivious look, a seemingly coincidental touch.

It is your job to find and explore this “secret switch” on your man.

This article will help you not only to find this hidden turn-on, but will also give you some ideas how you can win the man you want.

My male readers will discover that several of these techniques can be used to seduce a woman as well. Surprise surprise. Maybe we’re not that different after all.

So read on, here are the 10 ways how to seduce a man (use it cautiously, because with great power comes great responsibility and we men are sooo weak):

If you are, on the other hand, a woman, who is living in the 21st century, knowing who she is and taking what she wants, than read on. You will like it.

First of all: there is really nothing wrong for a women to approach a man. It shows that you are confident and that you know what you want. Men really like that.

Trust me on this one.

Some may ask themselves: what do I know about the secrets of a woman approaching men?

For one thing, I know what I would like a women to say and do if she’d approach me. This happened by the way quite often. For another thing, I interviewed some of my female friends for a simple guide on how to approach and get to know men.

So here it is.

Let’s start with a small list what I would like to see a woman doing when she sees a man she likes. A wish-list, so to speak, of all the things women didn’t do long time ago when I would have needed it.

This list, of course, would be highly subjective, but hey, maybe you’ll find something you could try for a change:

Just be yourself, don’t bitch-shield

I know, I know. If you are very beautiful, then you get approached all the time and heavy arrogance is your weapon, your shield to keep away the jerks. But if you’re not, then what’s the point. Then it’s only insecurity, a fear of getting hurt. Come on. Nothing from the outside can hurt you. The only one who can hurt you are yourself. Know that.

And what about Mr. Right, maybe he’s extremely shy. Shouldn’t he also get a change knowing your wonderful personality? Which brings us to the next point.

Why is that the case? What can a beautiful woman possibly do to an approaching man? Rip his head off? Not likely.

But I understand it. I once was there myself.

It is a fundamental fear of rejection that dominates here. An attractive woman has lots of power. Everybody is polite to her, wants to get her drinks, wants to be with her. She is a status symbol. An indication of personal power. And she knows that. But the power she has over you, is only the power that you give her.

Besides the fear of rejection, what frustrates most men additionally is also an inhibitory approach anxiety.

What actually is approach anxiety? It is a fear that is implanted in you by society.

Scientific research proves, that the only thing, that a newborn baby is afraid of are loud noises and free falling. Everything else is induced by the outside world. The environment. It’s important to realize that. The fear has no foundation.

“Approach anxiety is a fear that is implanted in you by society”

The bad news is: there is nothing you can read or revolve in your mind that would make the fear of rejection or approach anxiety disappear. Like to the most fears that are blocking you, there is only one way to overcome them: by facing repeatedly what you fear.

Repeating over and over again what you fear, and realizing, that there in fact is nothing to fear about, is the only way to make that fear go away.

I know. You don’t like that. I didn’t myself.

The good news is: it takes only 25 approaches to conquer this fear. So I suggest that you start right away!

Since you now know how to get what you wish for, I’d like to give you some insights on how to get this issue done right from the beginning.

Ok, so lets start with the 5 secrets on approaching a beautiful woman:
