A Pickup Artist’s routine is a brief dramatization designed to convey personality and illustrate high social value to a woman - for the purpose of creating attraction. A routine may consist of:
- A rehearsed story
- An interesting factoid
- A set of jokes
- A dance move
- Palm reading
- Handwriting analysis
- Polling or Push Polling
- Conversing about topics that are interesting to young women (fashion, relationships, etc.)
[edit] The spread of the routine
In 1994, Lewis De Payne, then a student of Jeffries and an associate of Kevin Mitnick, founded the newsgroup alt.seduction.fast ("ASF"). [1] It was in this forum that routines first began to be exchanged, modified, and commented on. Pickup Artists in the community now frequently “borrow” and trade each others routines. In the best selling novel “The Game” by Neil Strauss, several of the most widely used routines were described and have since become “tired”. A “tired” routine or a “dead” routine is one that has been so overused, that too many women have already heard it and are hence, not receptive since it is no longer novel.
