We\u2019ve all been on a night out and had some success. We\u2019ve met a gu<\/span>y, got along well with him, swapped numbers and perhaps even dated him for a bit afterwards. Some girls have even gone onto marrying a guy they met in a club. However, there are also stories of girls meeting the most charming man EVER who, sadly, never called back after a night out together. Kinda strange because he seemed so nice, warm, genuine and into us. In all likelihood, he was a pickup artist. In other words, he was a man who essentially picks women up as a\u00a0hobby. These guys go out at night with the intention of seducing a woman for one night only, and they tweak their techniques to improve their chances each time. Don\u2019t fancy being the victim of a pickup artist? Let\u2019s take a look at 10 ways to quickly recognise one.<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t h<\/b><\/span>ave much time<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHey, I really don\u2019t have much time but if I could just ask you one question \u2026\u201d\u00a0Pickup artists like to claim the<\/span>y\u2019re short on time. Perhaps a friend is waiting for them or they\u2019ve gotta head off for whatever reason. Whatever is the case, the pickup artist will make sure you know that they won\u2019t be hanging around for long. Why? Primarily to put you at ease. The pickup artist doesn\u2019t want to seem intrusive, and he doesn\u2019t want you to think he\u2019s going to be sticking around forever. He wants to make sure you know he\u2019s not going to take up all your time and that once he\u2019s done asking his question, he\u2019s going to pop off. If you want him to pop off, of course. If you don\u2019t, he won\u2019t be shy about hanging out with you for longer.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll offer a backhanded compliment<\/b><\/p>\n

Pickup artists don\u2019t want\u00a0<\/span>you to know they\u2019re full-on hitting on you. Instead, they\u2019re a bit more artful than that. As such, instead of coming straight out with a compliment, they\u2019ll play it cool by offering a backhanded compliment. This is known as a \u201cneg\u201d to pickup artists. Its intention? To feign disinterest. They don\u2019t want you to know you\u2019re being hit on, so they\u2019ll come out with a neg in order to keep you grounded and raise your interest. After all, perhaps you\u00a0want\u00a0to be hit on and the neg is going to make you a tad frustrated. As such, you might stick around to see if you can impress this guy. An example of a backhanded compliment? \u201cHey nice dress, I\u2019ve seen a few girls wearing that one tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ouch.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s super confident<\/b><\/p>\n

Not all men who are confident are pickup artists, but pickup artists take confidence to the next level. They even make it an art form! If a man is insanely confident, you have to question if something is up here. Have you got a pickup artist on your hands? There\u2019s a good chance that you have, especially if he literally never wavers, hesitates or shows any sign of nerves. The reality is that he\u2019s practiced this over and over again.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s basically Mr Perfect<\/b><\/p>\n

He\u2019s smart, well-mannered, funny, complimentary, loves his mom \u2026 he\u2019s surely too good to be real!<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll touch yo<\/b>u a lot\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A pickup artist is so confident that he\u2019s going to touch\u00a0you a lot.\u00a0<\/span>He isn\u2019t going to touch you like a lover does after years of being together. He\u2019s going to touch you in such a way that he wants just one thing tonight. Pickup artists tend not to have scruples. Watch out, because things might get uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll ignore y<\/b>ou at f<\/b><\/span>irst<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re hot and\u00a0<\/span>you know you\u2019re hot, so why is the pickup artist neglecting you and talking to your friends instead? Firstly, he wants to appear as safe and easygoing as possible, and being able to chill and relax around your squad proves that. Secondly, he wants to get you to question yourself. \u201cWho does this dude think he is that he can ignore ME?\u201d<\/p>\n

He waits 3 d<\/b>ays to call<\/b><\/p>\n

Do guys really wait 3 days to call? We always thought it was something guys only did in the movies! Actually, most guys don\u2019t want 3 days to call after a date. Most will be in touch the next day. So if a guy calls after a period of 3 days, you can take this as a pretty big warning sign that you\u2019ve got a pickup artist on your hands. Pickup artists rely on the same techniques and \u201crules\u201d and one of them is the 3 day rule. If he waits until you\u2019ve almost forgotten about him to call, take it from us \u2013 he\u2019s well worth forgetting about for real.<\/p>\n

He charms the pants off y<\/b>ou<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Pickup artists are a lot of things \u2013 including smooth talkers.\u00a0The<\/span>y can charm the pants off anyone and they say exactly what you want to hear. Perhaps you might even feel bowled over by his eloquence and sweet nothings, and maybe you\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019re in a fairytale. And guess what? That\u2019s exactly what he wants.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll flirt with other girls<\/b><\/p>\n

Is it a bit mean for him to flirt with other girls despite being interested in you? He\u2019s just playing by the rules of the game as a professional pickup artist. And here\u2019s the thing: Flirting with other girls to get your attention is the oldest trick in the game! The idea behind this is that he\u2019s going to show you that girls like him, because he\u2019s awesome and has interesting things to say. And because he hasn\u2019t eyed you yet, he\u2019s making you a bit jealous and frustrated. Pay close attention to how he acts around other girls. If he\u2019s clearly acting up, you know why.<\/p>\n

He just looks perfect all the time<\/b><\/p>\n

All those gu<\/span>ys you\u2019ve dated in the past? They had off-days, right? Sometimes they looked messy and smelled a bit sweaty. Not the pickup artist. He\u2019ll look fabulous all the time.<\/p>\n
