More About This Book

Overview

You're at a party. You see a sexy, beautiful woman standing by herself in the corner. How do you approach her? What do you say? How do you get her attention—and keep it?

Packed with useful information, practical advice, and proven techniques for successfully picking up women any time, anywhere, this essential handbook tells men everything they need to know to score with the opposite sex.

The Guide to Picking Up Girls includes tips on how to:

  • Pick the right "wingman"
  • Develop a "master rap" for getting and keeping her interest (sample dialogues included)
  • Deal with guys who try to blow your rap
  • Build confidence—being nervous is not an option
  • Overcome the fear of rejection—no girl is too pretty to talk to
  • Learn to analyze a woman's body language and signals

...and much more!

Whether it's a crowded bar or a noisy party, a club or a wedding, a supermarket or a coffee shop...from breaking the ice with surefire opening lines to finding out whether she has a boyfriend, The Guide to Picking Up Girls gives men the rules to make it with today's women. Lively and engaging, it's the authoritative resource for meeting that major babe.

    Formerly clueless male

    As a clueless man when it comes to picking up girls, I decided I needed help, so I bought a few books, and this book and Fate¿s ¿The Nice Guys¿ Guide to Getting Girls¿ are by far, my two favorites. These books hit the nail on the head when it comes to picking up girls. Fischbarg¿s book is hilarious and the techniques in this book are well-described and really easy to implement. This book is for you if you want some useful, intelligent, and amusing perspectives on the different ways men and women interact. All guys looking to meet women should read this book!
