| This is how I usually ease my pivots into it pickup: don't give them everything at once.
The idea of a pickup artist is initially almost always offensive to a woman. Frequently it comes off as skeevy, and I see girls say 'what kind of women does this stuff work on?' or 'it would not work on me!'. Well hang on... what exactly wouldn't work on you? I haven't mentioned a single concept or technique yet! But it would be difficult to explain pickup to them once they have a negative attitude towards it. If someone has made up their mind about an idea, it is usually next to impossible to convince them otherwise.
So, to make it easier on myself, I always remark I study body language, evolutionary psychology and such. I spend a lot of time wondering how the female brain works. Then I go into the fact that all this knowledge has helped me with women. They always take it well, but if they aren't completely enthusiastic, I cut it off and have normal conversation. She's not ready to hear the rest today, it may have to wait until...
DAY 2
I mention some of the routines I do. I always get an 'awww... that is sooooo sweet' when I tell them I leave a piece of jewellery with a girl I closed to remind her of our adventure together... until we meet again and I take the necklace/ring back. You know, the usual shit. Run the cube, best friends test - tell your potential pivot something about herself. Kinda sarge her - by now she has an idea of what you're up to and usually doesn't view you as a potential partner. After all, what girls see themselves in a serious relationship with a professional seducer? OK, the really cool ones, fair enough. If you find one of those - you lucky fucker, I envy you!
Then a simple move - tell them about Christian Carter's 'Catch him and keep him'. Get that book - it's not amazing, but they lay-dees love it. It's a psychological thing as well - you do them a favor, and they feel a sense of obligation to return it - that's Robert Cialdini applied.
Once she gets really intrigued, I mention my wings as "the guys I'm learning from" (this is true, my wings always help me out with awesome ideas). The potential pivot always ends up extremely interested and wants to go out to see this shit work first-hand. I mention that I could use her help while sarging. I talk about the Coolidge experiment and social proof: "you know, if I hang out at the bar next to a good looking girl, I'm no longer the creepy dude who's there on his own looking to score". Trust me, the girls will always take it as a compliment. Then...Voila!
Congratulations, you got yourself a committed, educated pivot. If she has fun the first night, she might be interested in helping you out again.
