Women - if this man tried to pick you up in the bar would you seriously fall for it?

[LynneSin]

Unable to find my remote control I watched the WORST reality TV show where this guy claims he's some sort of Master pickup artist and that he can teach his techniques to everyone including 10 losers in love. This guy talked about using 'wingmen' and accessories as 'props'

Honestly, if I saw a guy like this hit on me I'd probably accidently spit beer on his face from laughing too hard at him.

[Pierre.Suave]

1. Is that a small pair of Binoculars?

WTF!!!!

:rofl:

[crim son]

8. Don't laugh, jasonc.

The small pair of binoculars might be JUST the accessory you're missing! :rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

11. maybe

because I already have the hat...

:P

[crim son]

45. oooooh Baby!

:D

[Parche]

2. Hey That Is DS1

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[LynneSin]

5. I've met DS1 - he's much more attractive than that!

so I'm saying!

[BeachBaby]

7. This post is useless without pics!

DS1 is hawt? Provide some evidence, please. :P

:hi:

[SOteric]

16. Yes, DS1 is hawt.

He's also got a sweetheart from what I hear.

[Dr. Strange]

29. Well, he's never actually called me sweetheart...

He's used "pookie-muffin" once or twice. And "dumbfuck." Several times.
Never "sweetheart" though.

[SOteric]

33. Dude.

[OrwellwasRight]

42. I love impatient smiley dude.

And the Frivolous Infighting Alert System. I need to hang out here more.

On edit: Smiley dude apparently lacks patience (impatient); he did not get admitted to a hospital (inpatient)!!

[RadiationTherapy]

39. Bahhh! My goddamned camera is screwed up!!

[Beer Snob-50]

3. hey!! i own an outfit like that

that is how i got mrs pirate all those many years ago.. well that and cloroform (sp)

[MissMillie]

4. well, I don't get "picked up"

so he'd get no where w/ me.

[TZ]

6. Umm

I can't take a guy seriously if he's wearing a cat on his head..(thats what it looks like to me)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. yes, he has a very cute face. besides his hat, i like his look.

very east villagey

[flvegan]

10. Is that...eye makeup?

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. "The rain makes my mascara run..." -"Dark Companion", Tuxedomoon

[OrwellwasRight]

43. I vote no.

I haven't dated a guy in eye make-up since 1987. It's so warmed over "was once cutting edge (say when Bowie did it in 1973) and now it is just a desperate attempt to treat re-hashed ideas like brand new ideas."

[kwassa]

12. how many squirrels died to make that hat?

[DarkTirade]

13. Props and wingmen are for people who are incapable of doing it themselves.

... damn, I need to get me some props and wingmen. :P

[leeroysphitz]

38. Word.

[Chan790]

14. I saw that show...

he was kind of a tool. One of his assistants/wingmen was actually really actually good at attracting women...of course, that guy (the muscular hispanic guy) did nothing that this idiot was teaching.

He initiated conversations with confidence.
He listened to what women were saying.
He showed interest, came across as intelligent, straight-forward and slightly-dangerous.

[DarkTirade]

37. Yeah, I didn't realize until recently just how few men realize that's all it takes.

Confidence without assholishness.
Ability to have a start and have a conversation.

... that's pretty much it. After that, either there'll be chemistry or there won't. And it's far better to be yourself and get slapped down than to be fake and get a girl who isn't going to like you once she figures you out. The guys who know that are the ones who are able to show that kind of confidence without trying though. Because they're not worrying about getting shot down. :P

My big problem is that I'm anti-social and strange enough that the conversation part isn't easy unless I already know that they're my type. But I realize that's my problem, so I deal with it as best I can.

[City of Mills]

15. Soul patches and eye makeup. That's what I've been doing wrong!

I can't believe Jamiroquai is a master baiter now, lucky guy.

[Shell Beau]

17. He is just my type!

:rofl:




:wtf:

[BeachBaby]

18. Am I the only one who thinks he resembles Tommy Lee?

He's the first person I thought of. :shrug:

[TZ]

21. .

If he resembles Tommy Lee in other areas, than MAYBE I see the attraction...:evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

19. "Pick-up-artist" = "Man who, in real life, is so pathetic he must lie to get women"

REally, pretty fuckin' sad.

[dropkickpa]

20. He's a former geek

Who thinks he's discovered the formula to getting chicks. I've seen plenty of girls fall for exactly that type of shit, though. Sad. He strikes me as desperately unconfidant. And yes, I watch the show!!

[davsand]

22. Oh look! It's Pimp Daddy Wonka looking to get laid!!!

He's got his little toy glasses and everything!


Wonder if he needs them to find his... er... to find things?

[BarenakedLady]

24. I couldn't get passed the outfit

[meegbear]

25. He looks like Boy George sans full drag ...

he's all yours ladies.

[LynneSin]

26. So you're saying the gay community rejects stuff like this

damnit, don't pawn him back on us!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

27. Have we finally found Liberace's brother George?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

28. I accidentally saw that show back when I still had cable

My comments:

1. I would definitely laugh in the face of anyone who looked like that, even more so when I was actually in his target age group. His voice and mannerisms are even worse than his looks.

2. The guys he chooses share the basic problems that all the dating losers face a) They're boring and bland and even LOOK boring and bland, b) They think they deserve someone "hot" as defined by the media, and c) They think that there's some magic "line" that will get women panting after them.

3. The settings they go to pick up women are guaranteed to be overpopulated by bright-eyed daughters of Valley Girls who have maybe enough brains to be Sarah Palin if they pool their resources.

[Nickster]

30. Hilarious! I love that show!

[KG]

31. wingmen and props are for total lamers.

all i ever needed was my great personality and tightfitting jeans.

and being able to lick my eyebrows didn't hurt either. :P

[pitohui]

32. i think this guy or his student HAS hit on me

in one case (it was a foreign country) i let the guy buy me a glass of wine and practice his english but the MULTIPLE "props" plus the truly odd goth/emo "wingman" he had along for the ride were really distracting and i wonder if that technique really works all that well -- it certainly doesn't seem like it's destined for success with someone my age

no chance w. me as i'm married and NOT in search of complications for my life

yeah it does look ridiculous, i think "harmless" was the look the guy might be going for, but definitely "ridiculous" is a good label

the guy i met did not have the hat but nor did the guy have all his hair either....hmmm...maybe it was him! i'm thinking this guy looks younger but maybe it's because i can't see the (lack of) hair under that thing

[hippywife]

34. Paging Graywarrior and Rev Acts!

I bet they'd love him to pieces! I'm series! :hi:

[u4ic]

35. I'd fall,

laughing.

[Redstone]

36. Isn't he just WAY to obviously a total smacked ass? If he claims to be able

to pick up women with that "act," he's picking up women at mental asylums...

On edit: Oh, and the eye makeup? Yeah, women REALLY go for a guy with that, dude.

[RadiationTherapy]

40. The outfit is just the web.

It is all about the chat skills and listening skills.

[elshiva]

41. With a hat and a scarf like that, I'd doubt if he was serious.

I'd just think it was some guy on a bet. His drunk friends told him, "Put this hat and scarf on and see what chicks you can pickup, twenty dollars."

[OrwellwasRight]

44. Did anyone else pick up on the giant 80s earrings, the black "emo" nail polish

and the fake lipstick kiss on his neck Is that a tattoo? -- WTF is that?)?

I saw one episode of this show, and it was so ridiculous! He had each guy go into a bar and try to start a conversation by going up to a group and saying "Hey I need your opinion on something." Um, like wouldn't get old after the second time? No wonder girls just started turning away and ignoring them by like the sixth guy. I had to turn it off. It was just silly.

Hey, can anybody else smell really, really bad cologne, like Old Spice? Or am I being attacked by the ghost of a wanna be pickup artist?

[MilesColtrane]

46. Wow..all that cutting edge fashion.

It would be a lot cheaper if he just bought a "Jag Off" tattoo to go on his forehead.
