just my two cents…seems creepy and weird…if you want to meet girls why all the pretense…you’re not a bad looking guy at all, just put on your pheromones, go to the club and be yourself and socialize..why set up some bizarre scenario?

Good point! Why not just ask, “Do you like the smell of this cologne (that you’re wearing)? It’s new.”

i guess i just don’t understand why even that much pretense…just go, get close, chat up, be close enough they can catch your scent. when i go out i never have an ulterior motive…if something happens hey…freakin’ icing on the cake..if not..i’m not disappointed..i got to socialize and share the love!

Not that good socializing.. and damn there was a movie where someone said this real funny… can’t remrember the name 
I just meant, if he actually wanted an opinion on it. I put three products onto a piece of paper and asked my friends casually for their opinions; just on the scent. One went nuts for the smell of Chikara, which I found odd as it’s probably the second worst product I have ever used.

really smn? i’m not hitting on you, but you are a goodlooking guy, seems like you could just go and talk, chitchat, b.s., and have responses. the problem i think lies in when we think we have to impress…that sets us up for failure either way…if you fake who you are, the other person expects you to be that person and if you can’t keep it up you are screwed. if you just listen to others…put in your two cents of what you believe, not what you think they want to hear, the ‘right’ people will be drawn to you for who you truly are! if you want to chat up girls, from my experience, girls like honest compliments, not ‘lines’. but you have to be brave and say..okay..what i say might be rejected but i still rock!

hey matt, funny but i LOVE the scent of chikara and my fragrances lean towards the oriental, not herbal/green. but i get what you are saying..if he is looking for some objective pre- going out and truly prowling feedback it might work…guess i just get weird about what seems to me to be obvious manipulations of another…i think subtlety is a lost art…never let the other know you are trying to seduce them or get a reaction from them…let them think it is their idea/response. perhaps i was too quick to judge…

The cologne try is a tried and true method developed by Style (Neil Strauss - The Game). It is a fantastic opener, but like I’ve said in my earlier post it is over used. If you use the same line as ten other guys it makes you just another AFC.
Be unique, do something that makes you interesting if you want to be seen as unique and interesting. If you are attracted to someone and you go up and do what every single other guy that has been attracted to her does all you’re doing is grouping yourself with every other guy.
Here’s the kicker, you need to do what you feel is the right thing to do. Psychology tells us when we have an (novel) idea and ask opinions we just want to see if people are agreeable. You already know what you’re going to do, but if you chicken out now you can rationalize that other people convinced you it was a bad idea.
If one of the most legendary PUA can use the cologne pick up with absolute success then so can you. Just be sure to mix it up and put your own spin on it.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.
