The Best Tool In Pick Up
Ok well maybe the second best…the BEST tool would have to be a condom which you should have on you every time.
However other then that the best tool for Pick Up is…drum roll please….the CAMERA.
Many people when given this question will sometimes say a pen and paper (or buisness card) but in reality, with skilled application, the camera will win hands down every time. Also note by camera I mean a digital camera where you can see the pictures right away.
What makes it so special? Well first of all it allows for quickly getting in close and helps break possible kino barriers, such as putting your arm around her waist. Or making multiple other forms of kino socially acceptable… 
It’s also fun and builds comfort to look at pictures that the two of you take together and can be easily used to break rapport and tease her. You can incorprate role playing into it by taking “bad ass” pictures.
goofy faced pictures
pictures of her kissing your cheek.

and of course se%y pictures…
Other benefits are actually for working the room and not so much the girl. This is what many refer to as flash game. When you’re in the club and you take a picture of yourself with a hot girl, or two, or three…lol, the flash has everyone look over and guess what every girl in the club will see. Instant pre-selection. It makes you the center of attention and the party…since girls are validated by attention (men are validated through physicality) and want to be with the party they’ll naturally gravitate to you!
If you’re identity is that of a photographer it’s obviously a great way to ground yourself to the girl and bring her into your world. Finally the camera can be used in any stage of the PU.
One of my best default openers involves the camera. I go up to the girl and tell her to take a picture of me and my friends, once she does (social norms demand it) I can then tease her LIGHTLY to break rapport or reward her for compliance and build comfort. Then I’ll usually build comfort a bit and take a picture with her to help with attraction.
You can also use the camera in qualification by having her pose for you while you take a picture, either with you and her or just her. By having her try to look good for the picture she invests and works for you, also you take a high value role by telling her what to do and leading the interaction. Finally when it’s all said and done you take an approval role letting her know what you think of the picture which solidifies the attraction. Having a digital camera that also can record video is definately a bonus as well. As for sexual escalation and the bedroom…well use your imagination ;)

P.S.- Should a girl ever open you by asking you to take a picture of her and her friends (always a good sign!) a great little trick is to get them ready and posing and then take a picture of yourself with THEIR camera! This will get a laugh and then you can take a picture of them, after that you can optionally have some other guy take a picture of you and all the girls (remember flash game).
P.S.S- If anyone has other fun ideas on how to use a camera in field make sure and post a comment!



i love this post!
sucks i cant bring my bulky canon dslr to the clubs haha
Reminds me of an excellent interaction I had recently, there was a 6 set of HBs taking photos of each other on the dance floor. I signaled to one of them with camera sign language, she smiled and handed over the camera, they got themselves ready for the shot and I turned the camera back towards me and started to pose, at the last minute I hammed up I was joking.
They readied themselves again, this time I pointed the camera downwards and mimed undoing my belt. Shocked laughter from the set, apart from one moody CB who tried to grab the camera back off me, I pushed her away and put on a serious face and took the photo, then held my hand out for payment.
I was literally stalked around the club all night with them trying to open me, and I hadn’t even said a word! Shame I was on a day 2! This was natural for me at the time but I think would make for a good, playful routine judging from the reaction.
If I go out fully equipped for a night out, I have my strawberry chewing gum and my camera. Great post!
i purposefully close my eyes and then tease them on their inability to take pictures… i do it a couple times, then let them in on the secret. hahaha.
great post psych!
i also like when a girl asks you to take a pic of them back up with their camear then suddenly run off like you have just stolen it, they love it, (obviously when you turn around in a joking manner)
Thats a fuckin great idea.
FOOTBALL TEAM PIC: Invite her\them for a “football team pic” by putting your camera down to the floor set in auto-shot. Then you all make a sort of standing indian circle around the camera, linking to each other arms on shoulders, waiting for the camera to Auto-shot a picture of the “tribe”!
