I agree with your take on this issue but what do you do when you're not really a talker. While body language is always key you have to be good at BSing to get things going. Some of us just suck at this, so where do you go from that point?
Naw, dude. You don't have to bullshit anything to get things going. If you develop yourself to the point of actually being proud of who you are and seeing yourself as a genuinely cool guy, the absolute truth will be your best wingman.
"Developing yourself" doesn't exactly involve CHANGING who you are. It's actually a journey in which you discover your core and reshape your modes of expression to communicate what is most genuine and awesome about you. In simple terms, it's "being your best self."
Once you do that, BSing is the last thing you'll want to do.
Have you seen those myspace videos that Neil Strauss had for promoting Rules of The Game? In one of them, a guy sarges with his mouth duct-taped shut. You can still maintain leading frame without words. Words are only an extension of the communicative abilities you are born with. The core of your communicative abilities lies in the energy you generate, and you can do whatever the hell you want with that leading energy, whether it be expressing yourself through words, gestures, music, eye signals, writing, etc. Get creative. Pickup is an art, anyway.
