I didn't get into "pickup" until my girlfriend in high school dumped me because she grew taller than me. Because of that, I've decided to mastered the arts. Here's my experience on spending $750 on 40 different courses;
Anything involving classes, products, and advertisement are for picking up girls, not women.
Girls - Voluntary, shallow, and completely unreliable; risk of rebound, confusion, unnecessary drama/depression, Want what they can't have, and part of why some of us consider cll in the first place.
Women - More intellectual rather than sensual, but still provide pleasure and comfort. Willing to help, willing to work together, and willing to accept you for your intentions, whether you go for other girls or not.
You can "pick up" women 50 times easier and faster than girls, and I guarantee each one you encounter will only make you physically and mentally stronger as an individual, girls do the opposite.
There is no technique nor any equation for the dating game. Whether some pickup artist hosts classes, create videos, pdf's, etc, she/he is only in search of money. Even if he takes it to the bars or parties, she/he will stall anyone and have them return regardless. Why? They're picking up girls, only returning saying "I thought she said this" or "But I swear she likes me too" or my favorite, "Maybe I'm not tall enough?"
Bam. This is not advice, this is business. Get out. I understand that you only tend to see the outside of females, but that's not the point, women can have the assets of your desire, but you must find her. Before you do that, trust me, it's true that women have preference for assets, but this does include the inner mechanism of males.
The number one indicator (Surveyed and true) of attraction is eye contact, not height.
Stare into the female. Through her eyes, you will immediately tell whether she is a woman or a girl. It wouldn't seem easy at first, but as you keep practicing it, you'll soon realize that you're both talking about lighthearted unnecessary crap, which, believe me, is the biggest step to a female's heart.
You have to be genuine, and unique, which brings me to my number 1 way of getting whoever the fk you want. Be alpha.
A lot of people are in the beta pool; which are ironically the overly aggressive males, always unable to control their actions, pointing out who's worse than them, and always guiding to their own dck. They don't sit down and think, they lack the tenderness of making her open. Although, this doesn't mean that always being gentle and kind will make you alpha, that will just make you merely a friend among all women and for them to use you as their doormat. Heck, who doesn't want their doormat to stand up and complain about people stomping on them? Tall, aggressive males are not what girls nor women favor, the "Hey fk you I'm the " attitude is, trust me, a huge turnoff. Like you said, they just go along with it, but asking them about it no matter what setting their in, they just don't appreciate it.
Being the best is being balanced, here's what I mean;
Balance tenderness with aggression, and that of the opposite gender will see it both intrinsically and extrinsically. Not kidding, this is how we get laid so easily. Be grounded in your breathing and posture, but be open and soothing around women; this emits charisma, and other guys usually get pissed off about it.
My simple method - both girls and women(The only thing that worked really):
Use your words to make her giggle (tender) once you see the sparkle in her eyes, look deeply into them. *If your daring about it, go in for a simple touch, something light maybe on her hand or neck* (Aggression)
This can be used for any setting, but more extreme in bar settings, and less in more open areas.
You're confident with intellect, control, and openness, you are an alpha male.
Be a man, and leave those pickup artists and dcks with the rest of the betas.
If you don't understand, just PM me, I can say and recommend a few things for you to do (Not selling anything, we're just working together)
