Sounds mighty high maintenance if there's lotion involved...Not to mention the "Farmer's Blow technique " not needing a kleenex

Always use Shawn Watson as a wingman at the bars. He's always willing to jump on the grenade for the good of the team.

All I can say is just be yourself. Most importantly dont try too hard at picking up chicks/date. Those things will come in time. First off dont go to the bars every night expecting to pick up women, it just wont work. I see guys try it all the time and they just get teased because they are playing it all wrong. If you do go to the bars on a regular basis, take a group of people with ya. Walking into a bar with a group of 5 or so usually draws some attention to yourself/group.
Eventually you will get tired of going to the bars night after night. When that happens you can hopefully find someone to seriously date.

Are you in school? Take a dance class for your "culture" requirement (do they still have that?) anyway, it sounds gay, is full of gay guys, but most importantly a bunch of hot flexible women. Out of school, or you already took art appreciation, well sign up for yoga... These classes have a 6 to 1 women to guys, be warned though, wear bike shorts under your work out shorts, least your special purpose fall out, and evacuate any back pressure before class. The last thing these ladies want it some guy farting the place up, lastly take care of your feet, and take your shoes off, women notice feet for some reason, and if they look like there from the pedi scene from Dumb and dumber your already out.....
To defend the bar scene though, my current GF was my bartender, the one thing good about is, she knew what a train wreck I was, and still went out with me.... I guess for the most part I am charming, in a 17 year old way, while drunk.....

Joey,
Because you are one of my few “friends” on HB, I will present you the official “UGAHusker, bored at work, pick up chicks” tome. It references above posters’ comments and adds on and/or dispels the advice that is given in them.
Pick up lines are horrible and nobody likes them. Even if you think they’re “funny” (and reading all the Shawn Watson crap, a lot of you most certainly are not) a stranger might not. In addition, in a crowded loud bar, words often are distorted so a valiant attempt is lost in translation. Just go with something like, “hey, I think you’re adorable and am wondering if I can talk to you for a bit”.
Being funny is most certainly one of the most important things you can be once you have established contact and started a somewhat legitimate conversation. Everyone likes to laugh, especially girls. Girls however don’t like to laugh at really disgusting stuff, nerdy stuff, or stuff they have no idea about. Save that stuff for the 3rd or 4th date.
Not going to bars is not a good idea i.e. going to bars is a good idea. Going to bars every night of the week trying to make something happen, especially if you go to the same bars will earn you a reputation rather quickly as a sketchball, desperate, douche guy. Do however make it out at maybe twice a week (my formula is normally a Wednesday or Thursday and then Friday or Saturday).
Avoid dance clubs like the plague and don’t strive to become a “great dancer”. Girls who go to these clubs are either a. gross b. want to dance with their friends c. don’t have a college education d. all of the above. Definitely strive for bars over “clubs”.
Don’t anonymously buy drinks for girls yet alone VERY alcoholic drinks. This is just REALLY sketchy and I would argue that probably 95% of girls know this and believe it to be REALLY sketchy.
Don’t go to the library to pick up girls. They are there to study/do work, not get hit on by random guys.
Don’t go to the student union to pick up girls. Girls who hang out at the student union, from my experience, aren’t…cool.
Girls setting you up with friends seems good in theory, but it’s like passing in football; 3 things can happen and 2 of those things are bad: a. you hit it off and live happily ever after; odds 2% b. you hit it off, go out for a bit, break up, your friend has to hear both sides of the story causing either you two or your friend and the girl to be worse friends than before, if you remain friends at all; odds 48% c. you don’t hit it off at all. Your friend asks what you did wrong and the girl asks your friend why she set y’all up together in the first place; odds 50%. Sorry nuance, not really buying a lot of your claims.
While I’m not really that big on online dating myself, I feel as though in a largely populated area like Dallas, you could use it to your advantage for a relatively nominal fee. Tons of women are too busy or too shy to go out to meet guys and I would assume that many put profiles up on dating websites. For this method to work though, I feel like you probably have to get a few things right. First, as bad as it sounds, your profile pictures are the most important aspect of the profile. You may be a great, cool, guy, but if you look weird, nobody is gonna want to talk to you. That being said, no self/camera pictures, no pictures of doing things way “extreme” (wake boarding, motocross riding, etc.). You’ll want pictures of you in casual environments and then a few of you and a few friends at a bar, sporting event, dinner, etc. something that shows fun, but not a trying too hard existence or a “I have to resort to taking pictures of myself because I don’t do anything cool or have friends” existence. I would think that you should not write too much or too little in your profile description and most importantly, don’t message girls with things like “yo” or “hey sexy” or “J” (I knew a girl who was on match and said she got that kind of crap all the time)
While I hear that some people have gotten tips from these “pickup artists” that have greatly helped their “games” I would be leery of buying a book and believing everything that it says. Everyone works differently and every region of the world has different customs. What works in Lincoln, NE will most definitely not work in Athens, GA which will not work in Las Vegas, NV. Take what you read with a grain of salt and use what works for you best.
Oh boy, from my experience, the people who claim that they don’t want to date girls who care about how they (the guy) looks, dresses, etc. are guys who don’t really want to put in the time or effort to be presentable. They want to date attractive girls with good personalities, but don’t want to offer the same attributes in return. When you see an attractive girl with a nice complexion and great body, not only do you think “wowzerz, she is a hottie” you also think “wow, she really puts in a lot of time and effort to take care of herself”. It works both ways. Girls see a guy who is in shape (don’t get all roided out, sleeveless shirts, totally ripped abs, bro!) neatly combed hair, no acne and think that guy cares about himself and his appearance and probably cares about other aspects of his life. That being said, get to the gym on at least some of those days when you haven’t gone out the night before, (working out hungover or still drunk is not advised) put out more than $8 at Great Clips for a hair cut (but don’t pay more than like, $30. And Jersey Shore blowouts…really? Do girls actually like that where you live?) and invest in a wardrobe consisting of the types of clothing that never goes out of style (polo shirts of reputable brands (please no “teen” retailers) khaki pants and shorts (no cargo, no jean shorts) a few pairs of jeans (I don’t wear them personally, but everyone is different) and a few, non-obnoxious Tee shirts. Don’t forget about shoes and outerwear. Don’t think you have to spend a fortune to attain these items. I’ll be the first to admit that I hit up ebay as well as outlets to supplement my wardrobe and rarely pay full, retail price. Girls appreciate a guy who can put himself together.
As far as cars go, don’t go out and drop a ton on the newest foreign luxury car. I have never driven a luxury car or a car under 8 years old. The last two vehicles I purchased though were relatively easy to maintain, were aesthetically pleasing (no vehicle damage, rust, missing hubcaps, etc.) and ran well enough that my dates never worried that the car was gonna bust on the way to dinner. My car payments and insurance premiums were/are also always very reasonable. Again, gonna have to officially go against all of Po’s sentiments.
I have to disagree with the eye contact. Yes, once you have initiated conversation and are talking with a girl(s) then by all means, make eye contact (girls are A LOT better at noticing subtle eye movements to other…areas than we think they are) but when you are out and eyeing a girl, you don’t want to continuously be making eye contact. For one, it can creep girls out (even if you aren’t “leering”) and two, you don’t want to seem so interested that it is affecting everything else that you have going on that night. Girls like to see guys who appear to be having fun, not desperately trying to make eye contact all night.
I have to disagree with a 5 person (or larger) group on a night where you are seriously looking to meet girls. A group that size can be intimidating and is only really suited for initialing conversation with another group that size (even then, with that many people, the odds of everyone being able to link up with a person from the other group diminishes with every person you add. The more girls you have who are left out, the more you have who are going to want to leave because nobody is talking to them). Granted, I love going out with a big bunch of friends when we are just going out to jack around, but when it comes to meeting girls, I would say keep the group to 2 or 3.
Finally, dance and/or yoga classes SCREAM desperation. I worked at a gym long enough to know that the girls in these classes always talked about the sketchy couple of guys in these classes that seemed more interested in looking at them than in actually learning to dance or learning the movements. Definitely do not recommend this option.
Good luck!

First the things that will be universal.
Be clean, and smell good. B.O. is not going to help any. No need for expensive cologne unless you always wear it, just showering and using good soap/bodywash is enough. Do not forget the deodorant.
Dress in clothes that fit and work for you. Its part of what some people call 'be yourself' Make sure they are clean, and as odd as it may sound, make sure your shoes are clean.
Be honest, but not too honest. What I mean is do not lie, but don't divulge too much, or let them see how far down the rabbit hole goes right away. She does not want to know how many comic books you have, but if asked admit to reading comics, would be an example.
Someone made mention about cars. Have one, and don't look like you live in it. Before dates/bars/whatever wash it and clean out the trash. Driving a rusted out Ford Fiesta is not going to help you.
Try to be funny and make them laugh. But don't try to be a standup comic.
Don't take yourself too seriously, be able to laugh at yourself.
Be confident in yourself. I can't stress this one enough. Do not be afraid to disagree with a woman, agreeing with everything she says will make you seem week and/or fake.
Be polite to any of service personnel you deal with. Don't be a d!(k with a bartender or waitress, it just makes you look bad. Not strong like some men think. But definitely do not pay too much attention or flirt with the cute waitress.
Next ask yourself what kind of girl you are looking for. One nighter, dates, or more serious. That is the first step, as finding each type will often be different.
Match.com is more for the dates/long term side of things. I have used it, and contrary to some of the 'loser' comments about dating sites, they are effective. And anymore the numbers are 20% of relationships start online. They are very good for meeting people your routine would not bring you into contact with. Assuming you know how to build a profile, and can translate the female profiles. Pictures are very important. Only post flattering ones. No pics of holding beers, or being drunk, it just looks bad.
I don't have much advice on bars, never has been my thing and my game there sucks to be honest. But bars in general are not the best place for finding a stable girl.

Hey fat girls give good BJs.....because they have too.
All jokes aside, we are killing this guys cry for help, dude you need to be yourself and do what works for you. Everyone on this board can give you all the advise in the world, but it doesn't mean crap if it doesn't reflect you or fit your personality. There will be many bombs or failures untilya find the right person, but you just got to put yourself out there and see what works for ya.
Bars=hook-ups, however some hook-ups=relationships. And if all else fails, carry a life size cut out of Shawn Watson, the chicks dig him. :thumbs

Act like you really don't give a sh*t what happens. If you can actually get to the point where you really and truly are indifferent about getting laid...you'll get laid. If they think you're hard to corral...they'll try and corral you. It's in their nature. They'd put you in a friggin dog cage and carry you around with them if they could. So make 'em think you've got something going on that makes you disinterested in what they look like with their clothes off. That will make them want to show you what they look like naked, and what you've been missing, and why your initial attitude was wrong.
That's what it boils down to. They desperately want to prove you wrong, all the time. So let them prove to you that you were wrong when you didn't give them the time of day.
Also, don't get married.
