Pickup, pickups: what is it

Pickup is the art of seduction; the type of human activity, as well as the name of the social movement (usually male), which aims to develop the necessary skills in men with which they can subsequently find a girl without any problems, seduce her and, if there is a desire, build a relationship.

Basically, a pickup truck answers the question “How to seduce a woman?”, But is not limited to this.

Any interaction with people becomes a source of personal development, as well as improving oneself in the field of communication. And the pickup is no exception.

A pickup truck is a man who picks up. Well, what can I say … Almost every man is a little pikaper.

History of the pickup truck

Beginning

In popular science literature, the idea of a pickup truck was first reflected in the book ” Whom does a woman want? A practical guide to erotic seduction” by psychologists Albert Ellis and Roger Conway (USA), published in 1967.

In 1970, the book “How to meet girls” by Eric Weber (USA) was born, which laid the foundation for the theory of the modern pickup truck.

It was Erik Weber who established the word pickup in the context of the seduction of women.

NLP

At the same time, in the 1960s and 1970s, John Grinder and Richard Bandler (USA) jointly developed a new direction in psychotherapy and practical psychology-NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).

To put it simply, NLP, thanks to various techniques of verbal and nonverbal influence on another person, helps to force him to do something that he did not originally intend to do.

For sure, anyone who has encountered direct sales, acting as a” salesman”, has adopted some of the principles and techniques of NLP.

Ross Jeffries

In the late 1980s, Ross Jeffries (USA), who studied NLP under Richard Bandler, later applied his knowledge and skills to create his own method, called “quick seduction”.

It is Ross Jeffries who is considered the founder of the pick-up movement.

In 1992, Ross Jeffries, under the pseudonym Gregory Madison, wrote a book “How to get into bed with the woman of your dreams”. There is no doubt that the book was infused with various manipulative techniques that grew out of NLP.

In 1994, a student of Ross Jeffries created an Internet community dedicated to seducing women, i.e., this year dates the birth of the pickup movement as such. This Internet resource gave rise to a wave of various forums and sites, the purpose of which was to exchange information on the topic of pickup trucks.

The main problem with the theoretical part of the pickup truck of the 90s was the obvious complexity of its practical application.

If you are not a psychologist who has been practicing NLP for a long time, then it is very difficult for you to start applying these techniques.

Imagine it for yourself. You are a novice seducer and therefore scared to hell of girls. And instead of approaching a stranger in a relaxed state and starting a casual conversation, you are trembling with fear, trying to remember what technique to use at this or that moment, think about rapport, coherence and other elements of the NLP theoretical base.

This is difficult at least, and impossible at most.

In addition, often the manipulative approach of the nascent pickup truck came into conflict with moral principles. A considerable number of people considered pickup trucks unethical and criticized them.

Therefore, pickup methods have entered the path of evolution in accordance with emerging needs.

Mystery books

Erik von Markowik (Canada), a prominent figure in the pickup scene, also known as Mystery, decided to keep up with his predecessors and in 2005 published the book “Method of Mystery”, in which the pickup took a form that more closely corresponds to the moral standards of society, as well as became clearer to learn and easier to apply.

In addition, the very approach to determining the effectiveness of seduction has changed.

For the first time, more attention was paid not so much to the development of various techniques, but to the awareness of the male value in the eyes of women and better positioning yourself in the communication process, i.e. the main thing is who you are, how you see yourself, and not how many techniques you have worked out.

Even Ross Jeffries himself, despite the obvious NLP orientation of his book, reflected the following lines in it:

Success with women has nothing to do with what you do with them, or how you treat them. This success depends on how you feel about yourself.

Ross Jeffries

Mystery formulated the answer to the question, what do attractive men have, as follows: they have a high social value, or ” high value for survival and reproduction.”

The value of reproduction includes a man’s appearance and health.

Survival value includes financial security, physical strength, leadership skills, resilience in conflict situations, the ability to solve problems, and others.

Mystery notes that a man’s value for survival is prioritized in the eyes of most women over his value for reproduction.

It follows that in order to become attractive, you should start building a career, earn enough money, play sports and develop self-confidence, without avoiding conflicts and life problems.

Markovik agrees with this, but his idea has a slightly different meaning.

If a young man has a high value for survival, but at the same time tries to impress the girl, to interest her in this (bragging about money, position, etc.), he will most likely not achieve his goal.

By showing off and trying to ingratiate himself, on the contrary, he shows his low value, because he gives away a person who lacks attention. He begins to act as a person in need.

This prompted Markovik to think that it is not so important what value a man has, it is important how he behaves.

Therefore, the cornerstone of his method was the” demonstration ” of high value, which turns on the desired switch in a woman.

It is often emphasized that one must be sure. But in fact, an important internal state in renting is comfort. Your body should reflect this. Relax, relax your eyelids, take a piece of space that is convenient for you. Sit back and feel at home.

Mystery books

Thus, the mystery was the first to lay the foundations for such a direction of the pickup movement as social dynamics, the development of which He took up…

Tyler Durden

Owen cook (nickname-Tyler, Tyler Durden, TD), Canada – in a sense, a student of Mystery and Neil Strauss, who developed his theory of seduction Real Social Dynamics (RSD).

The RSD is based on social dynamics, i.e. a pickup truck without the usual tactics and patterns. Tyler developed the concept of the value and brought it to its logical conclusion.

Tyler believes that anyone can become attractive, regardless of their mores, views, and social status. Appearance, income, and age have very little impact on attractiveness.

Your attractiveness is not your actions, but your inner essence. This is not something that can be achieved by learning the pickup technique, as many people think. This can only be achieved through an awareness of what it means to be yourself and how to reveal your best side.

What they teach in a pickup truck

Let’s take a look at the basic skills that are developed during pickup training sessions.

What phrases to start Dating with

Often men are very much fixated on what is best to say to the girl at the moment of approach.

To approach a girl, you will be instructed with what phrases to Start Dating. Maybe you will be told that the best phrase at the moment of approach will be the one that comes to your mind at that moment.

Over time, you will learn that the phrases themselves don’t have a fundamental meaning.

How to approach a girl and get acquainted

Fear of approaching a stranger to get to know each other, especially in a place not provided for dating, is similar to the fear of public speaking. In short, for most men, the ambush is total.

But it’s one thing to make a successful approach, and another to walk away after being rejected. The fear of rejection is inextricably linked with the fear of approach.

But in general, the problem is the lack of experience that you will be forced to work on at pickup training sessions.

Perhaps you will be told that there is nothing terrible about approaching girls (and it is true), that you should not look at a girl solely as an object of attraction, but should look at her as an ordinary person, for example, as a cleaner who sweeps the street with a broom.

You will understand everything, nod your head and agree, but when the moment comes to approach and meet a girl on the street, you will be overcome by jitters.

Imagine that you decided to make a jump from a bridge on an elastic band. You thought that the preparatory stage would last forever, when suddenly, addressing you, the instructor shouted ” Jump”, but for some reason, your legs do not obey. You’re not an inch closer to the edge of the cliff.

Therefore, sometimes you need a person next to you, who will push you forward when all your nature will demand to stay in place in your habitual comfort zone.

And when you jump off the bridge and fall down, you will be overcome by indescribably strong emotions. Perhaps you will survive the wild horror.

But the moment the elastic is pulled tight and you start to climb, your fear is magically transformed into delight in an instant. You will have an amazing experience.

When you make dating attempts on the street as part of pick-up training, there will be a support service nearby – a pick-up trainer who will make sure that you receive a magical Pendell and don’t abandon your original plan.

And after making several approaches to girls, something inside you will break down. You will never be the same again.

How to get a phone number from a girl

One of the reasons for your approach to the girl will be the further development of your acquaintance, for which you, of course, will have to exchange contacts with her.

How to talk to a girl on the phone

To ask a girl out on a date, you will have to call her and communicate audibly.

They will tell you when to call a girl, what to say to her, and also, perhaps, share ways to create intrigue and incite a woman’s desire to meet you with the help of correspondence in messengers even before making a phone call.

How to spend a date

The preparatory stages are over, and you are already very close to the climax.

So you will be trained:

• Where to ask a girl on a date.
• How to spend a date with a girl.
• What to talk about with a girl on a date.
• How to touch a girl on a date.
• How to invite a girl home on the first date.

Is it worth taking pickup training sessions

The seduction of women can be learned independently and without training on pickup trucks.

The advantages of passing pick-up-training:

1. Learning is faster.
2. By paying the money, you will be more responsible for your tasks.
3. There will always be support next to you, so excuses like “Hey, I’m tired today, I’ll do it tomorrow” will not be allowed.

In other words, if you don’t feel sorry for money or have problems with willpower, it’s better to sign up for pickup training.
