PICK UP ARTIST


Pickup artist describes a man who is considered to be skilled, or who tries to be skilled at meeting, attracting, and seducing women.
The use of pickup in this context, SLANG for making a casual acquaintance with a stranger in anticipation of sexual relations, dates from at least 1970 and the book How to Pick Up Girls by Eric Weber. The phrase was also popularized by Pick-Up Times, a short-lived 1970s magazine and the 1987 semi-autobiographical film, The Pick-up Artist, written and directed by James Toback.[2]
The term pickup artist is also associated with the seduction community, a heterosexual male subculture based on the goal of improved sexual and romantic abilities with women.[citation needed] Pickup artists develop pickup lines similar to, yet more complex than the stereotypical pick-up line.[citation needed] Routines and gambits are developed to stimulate attraction switches often combined with techniques derived from neuro-linguistic programming.[3] Spontaneous PUAs or Spontaneous Gamers use both self-help and an understanding of social psychology to achieve this.[citation needed] They aim to improve their seductive capabilities through the development of different lifestyles. The culture surrounding pickup has spawned an entire industry servicing those who want to improve their social and seduction skills with consultations and in-field training.[citation needed] What makes this industry different is that people learn skill sets to meet the women they want, instead of being set up bymatchmakers.[citation needed]
