I watched one or two of those types of shows in the UK, seemed strange to approach love with such a technical point of view.

One fellow showed up on a related show who basically had a shag every night, he had trouble figuring out if that was good or bad.

For the most part, pickup artists are not looking for love, but shags.

If you are in a large city with a good number of bars, it’s not that difficult to find a fair number of people who will have sex (and bonus points if they have sex with you. 😉 )

The quality is a different story, though.

I play with my hair all the time no matter what the situation so that would be a poor indicator of interest from me. If I am interested in a guy I give him a sideways glance or two. If I give him a sideways glance _and_ bite my lower lip it is because I am more than a little interested (IOW I want to bang him.)
