Style’s Pick Up Structure

Here is another old post from Neil Strauss during his days as style posting
in the forums. His posts are always worth reading.

Style’s Pick Up Structure by Neil Strauss

Took some notes for myself the other day, and thought I’d share them. I guess this is my structure. May be too general and basic to help anybody, but here it is for posterity’s sake.

WHAT MAKES ATTRACTION:

PART ONE: GETTING INTO THE GROUP
STEP ONE
OPENER
Do improvised or canned opener
Give yourself a time constraint (I can only stay for a minute because
I’m with my friends over there)
Body language as if you’re about to leave
Convey personality, smile, but don’t be over-enthusiastic

STEP TWO (you can also fractionate opener to do this)
BREAK INTO THEIR WORLD
Best friend test
Make perceptive or teasing comments about them (negs are included here)
Insert challenges

PART TWO: MAKING THEM WANT TO KEEP YOU

STEP THREE (can also be done during or after step four)
Option 1: Takeaway or false takeway
Option 2: Join the group, mid-story or routine, but again give yourself
time constraint

STEP FOUR
DEMONSTRATE VALUE
Use gimmick, magic, psychic routine, humor, game, whatever

STEP FIVE
BUILD RAPPORT
Elicit Values
Find Commonalities

STEP SIX
CLOSE
OPTION ONE: #close
OPTION TWO: Isolate target, phase shift/seduce, and *close
OPTION THREE: Stay in group (or return to group) so that you end the
night with them. Try to get to target’s house, or get her to your house
