Forget pick up lines.  The two best ways to pick up chicks are:

Look really good.

Flash excessive amounts of money.

I think that's a bad idea.  If you want the pick of the litter, so to speak, you need to approach them.  Hardly any guys have the balls to do it, so you'd be surprised at how easy it is to pick up on girls that seem way out of your league.  All that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is in your head anyway.  Confidence is the #1 requirement.  If you come off as believably confident you can get nearly any girl.  The trick is to fake it till you make it.  Just act like going up and talking to strange, hot girls is second nature.  Once you realize how easy it is you will start developing real confidence and you won't have to fake it any more.

Best thing is to remember to get them talking about themselves.  People love talking about themselves.  Ask questions.  No yes or no questions either as that just invites awkward silences.  Ask open-ended questions.  Where are you from?  What music do you like?  Have you ever been out of the country.....oh, really, that's cool, what's it like? 

And some great advice from the movie high fidelity is that the important thing isn't what you're like but what you like.  Establish some common ground.  Find out what bands you both love, what food you both love, what movies or tv shows or travel destinations you both love.  But don't go too overboard to the point where you come off as saying things just to please.

I agree with the part of getting them talking about themselves.  Go a bit further than that, even, and act interested, like you actually CARE what they say.  And remember it, mention the things she said the next time you see her.

Hot chicks are so used to attention, they get special treatment everywhere they go, that being approached like that doesn't work unless you would have stood out anyway.  Attractive women are always being flirted with, coddled to, given stuff, etc etc.  The "no one ever has the balls to approach me" concept is a myth that unattractive guys cling to so they still have hope.

Confidence is everything, though.  If you don't believe you're worth her time, you will never be able to convince her.

What always worked best for me, believe it or not, was confidence and indifference.  I was the one guy who did NOT coddle, who did NOT flirt, who did NOT try to get them in the sack every time I saw them.  I talked to them like a regular person, no different than I would anyone else, and THAT made me stand out enough to be noticed.  But again, that probably only works if you would have stood out anyway.

I was going to suggest that... do what Seph does, get into a good band, play well, and then pick the chick based on the size and shape of underpants she threw at you.

*approach group of women*
*speak directly to one of them*

"Hi.  Sorry to interrupt, and I apologize for putting you on the spot in front of your friends, but I saw you over here and really wanted to pay you a compliment"

*look her in the eyes*
*say in your most honest, sincere voice*
"You look absolutely fantastic."

*smile* (You *may* get a thank-you here)
"Well, have a nice evening."
*turn to walk away*

At this point, from my experience, one of two things will happen:

1) They will then ask you to stay, and start asking questions, like your name, and may even offer you a seat.  You are "in", and are now the envy of every guy in the place for having the "huevos" to go up to a group of women and start a conversation.

2) They don't ask you to stay, or do anything as you walk away. (rare)  Hold your head high, as you have NOT been rejected or shot down.  You will still have the admiration of the other guys for "entering the lion's den" as it were, AND, you will have gotten practice walking up to groups of women and starting conversations.  (A very useful skill)

Or, as I used to see happen to my friends when they tried that:

3)  She looks you up and down, laughs in your face because her friends are watching, her friends laugh in your face, and you walk off to bang your head repeatedly against a urinal.

Approaching a woman in a group of women is a bad idea.  Too much peer pressure, too many landmines.  Women are a pack animal.

From what I've seen, #3 happens when you approach the group, and then use a "pickup line."  It can also happen if you stay there, standing at the table, expecting to be invited to stay, or expecting them to swoon or something.

If you simply go up, and pay one of them an honest compliment, then walk away, you don't get #3.

You're right about the land-mines... a group of women can smell fear.  But if you're confident, and honest about your compliment, they like that.  You make your own reality.  If you go in expecting #3, then you'll get it.

But then again, I'm a funny-looking fat bald-guy.  Women seem to really go for that type.  Your mileage may vary.

My advice is to just walk up to a pretty girl and point at your crotch while pumping your hips. Hold eye contact and talk about its size and girth.

For extra effect flick your tongue in and out at her.

I don't party, or sleep around anymore, but when I was younger and when I DID, I used to have a lot of success with this one.

I personally liked the approach in "Hitch" where he goes up to the girl he wants to talk to (who's surrounded by guys), hands her a ten, gives her a drink order and walks away.  She then follows him, away from the others, and then he comes clean.

That's why I won't even look cross-eyed at him!  He's got problems that penicillin is afraid to be around, and besides, Drew is so much better to me and twice as......nice!  I'm almost inclined to think Drew is an Aussie, but I've never met an Aussie as......nice......as him, so I guess Bones is just wrong about one MORE thing!

I'll never forget how sweet Drew was when I first met him!  He walked up to me and the first thing he did was compliment my outfit!  He said he loved it and it accented my eyes, but it'd look better on the floor in the corner of his bedroom.

It was lust at first drool

I just hate that passionate scream that girls get when you satisfy them like no other man. I find it repetitive and annoying.

It's like, yeah OK, I know I am good and I am glad I gave you the best time of your life, but it's time for me to move on now. And then comes the sobbing and begging followed by cursing (refer above) and then the late night calls where they say they will do anything to be with you again.

It's all pretty pathetic actually.....

Living the delusional lifestyle.

Bro, that's just scary!  I didn't want to say it out loud, so I whispered it above.....and now you're here BRAGGING about that "special" way you satisfied her?   :o

You haven't been looking into a vacation trip to a horse farm in Washington, have you? :o

Hey, do you wear the whole get up?  The mask, the chest protector, the goofy looking glove?   At least I'm gonna go with that image, because the OTHER "catcher" I'm interpreting......I'm losing so much respect for you......I was gonna go withyour suggestion for a Kombi, but now..... ;)
You’re always in control of your behavior. Sometimes you just control yourself
in ways that you later wish you hadn’t
