No, Tomo, not 'Pulling' as in a visit to Madamme Palm and her five sisters, but 'pulling' as in getting individuals that you find attractive to go out on a date with you.
What tricks do you use? What tricks have you used and found, er, uneffective? What tricks did you used back when you did attempt pull (if your pulling days are behind you!)?
I used to look into a girl's eyes, smile, maybe even wink if she was very attractive, and say "How you doin'?".

My pulling days are long behind me, but I used to find writing in my trusty notebook in cafes/bookshops/museums attracted the right attention. I am more of an approachee than an approacher. Bars and clubs are fair enough for shallow encounters, but bookshops and museums, I found more of the sort of person I was looking for. But, uhm, why are you interested in pulling all of a sudden? Are you and Mrs Shockers at the 7 year itch??  |

But, uhm, why are you interested in pulling all of a sudden? Are you and Mrs Shockers at the 7 year itch?? lmao whats with the big smile?? I haven't pulled a girl before so I can't really comment on that. But for blokes if they are making a point, i'll stretch and arch my back kinda, stick my chest out a tad and go "mmhhhhmmm" like agreeing with them. But what I enjoy the most is finding out what they are passionate about, cause I just really enjoy watching them when they are excited about anything. It's just so nice to see them happy, sometimes I drift off thinking about myself but most of the time I'm listening intently. Sometimes they don't have anything, or just get sad for some reason its ok to give a reasuring hand squeeze or pat, everything will be ok and it will. Others just refuse to open up theres not alot you can do there just sit, I guess they're lonely but you won't know cause they won't talk!! Smiling at them really works, most people are insecure (especially girls!) and it gives a little boost to both especially when they smile back and its a warm open smile. Also making them laugh, I love making people laugh, I think laughter lines are beautiful! I asked my friend what he says to pull a girl: "I want to lose my anal virginity with you. How about it?" he's a really classy guy |

Judging from my own experience and that of others around me, I think the best relationships start from freindships first.

Karla, you're absolutely right, the laughing thing is the best. Laughter, they say, is the best medicine after all. Well, unless you have a hernia, I'd imagine. |

Whilst my pulling days are very firmly behind me now, I do recall I never actually tried to pull in my life, like Graham, I am an approachee. Luckily, I always found the "geekier" type of lady to be my thing and for some reason, the ones that have counted always talked to me first, more fool them!

I don't actually "go out on the pull" either, I prefer to make friends with girls, if something happens after a while then, fine, otherwise I'm happy eitherway lol |

Well, unless you have a hernia, I'd imagine. no it won't cross over into marmite thread mister administrator! well on the "World Laughter Tour" website they said this about hernias: " Hernia is protrusion of abdominal contents through the muscle wall of the abdominal cavity. Those with recent inguinal (groin) hernia or abdominal incision (operative scar) hernia should avoid attending laughter sessions because laughter produces additional abdominal pressure and may aggravate the condition. A person with this condition should be assessed by a surgeon for fitness before attending laughter therapy." |

She may be a Transformers hater, and an in general Action Figure hater, but other than that, she's one damn fine Lady. Plus she's damn brutal with a frying pan. In all seriousness, my best pulling tactic was the old 'listen to them and show interest in what they have to say'. Most of the time I was sincere with it n'all. |

I generally try and look interested and pay attention and try and get a laugh with women if I am trying to pull them. However, there is a problem.
It's been documented on many a night out that if I am chatting to a woman I quite often miss the point where I should make my amourous intentions known and proceed to make a friend out of them. Not always a bad thing, but quite frustrating for me, amusing as hell to my friends.
To be honest the best way of pulling if you are just looking to pull. Stand around, look disinterested during the times your mates aren't there. Enjoy your drink but don't caper about and generally you get approached and the hard work is done.

I'm another approachee. Sit around trying to look interesting and hope for the best. I've found that a copy of New Scientist and a Shortpacked! "No I'm Batman" T-shirt work equally well.
Sometimes I'll try being the approacher but it always goes horribly wrong.

Fresh coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, pancakes with a choice of syrup, Nutella, or butter/icing sugar.
As long as you're out the door by 8.15 I am happy to accommodate.
And some people like to cuddle, some like to sob themselves to sleep. Either way I usually go into the next room and watch cartoons.
