Is picking up men/women an art form?

I had this discussion with a couple friends of mine, girls and guys, about whether "courting" (term used loosely) is an art form? Obviously some people are more successful than others at it, but is it art?

My thoughts on the matter are yes. I compared it to music. With enough practice and education, you can become very successful. If an inexperienced guitar player writes a song, it's still a song. If a some dude strikes out with a dumb pickup line, it's still a pickup line.

Some guys are more seasoned. Having practiced their charasmatic traits can yield great results. Things like being able to dance, knowing how to get women drunk without making them aware that you're doing it, cooking, smooth talk, etc. Those things make it an art form in my opinion.

Could be debated.

No it's not an art, it's a skill, like juggling or a golf swing. Yes it requires a tremendous amount of practice, a degree of innovation and some creativity, but no one is ever going to call it an art form.

...knowing how to get women drunk without making them aware that you're doing it...

creepy.

picking up men and women is pretty easy nowadays...

just drive to any Home Depot early in the morning, and look for the people standing around as if they are waiting for someone...

the airport could also be a good place

and the bus station downtown could definitely work

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
