Different methods of picking up:

The "yo bitch, lets FAWK!" approach: This is most often adopted by drunk varsity athletes, or frantic drunk dudes in the last twenty minutes before close. It most often ends in regret for both parties. First pioneered by the hip hop movement in the late eighties and early nineties, its a valuable desperation measure for most males, and a first option for a small minority.

The blank stare approach: I have personally only ever seen this pulled off by two guys. Its hard to describe this in an objective and scientific way, so I will simply recount a story of this approach in action. Standing out front of a bar, my occasional wing man who we will refer to as d-bag, and I were engaged in a thoughtful conversation about our game plan when three girls (a 6.5, 8 and another 8) started standing close by. We began talking with one of the 8's who asked us for a smoke. Sensing the opportunity, I kept the conversation going while d-bag continued to smoke. The other 8 began interrupting our conversation, which d-bag was not a part of, asking for a lighter, myself and the other 8, both knowing the interruption was a form of interception, continued talking. The girl persisted to ask for a light… d-bag engaged her in a long hard stare from under his furrowed brows. She asked once more at which point d-bag threw a lighter at her, which bounced off of her forehead. The girl became irrate, calling him an asshole… to which he replied "pick it up!" after which, he resumed the blank pissed off stare. Unfortunately, this time it did not work out for either of us but has been known to work on girls with low self-esteem.
