Barring pick up lines, what has been/is the best approach a man can use to meet women?

come and say hi. Its easy, shows your confident and almost always works and if not then you just had a nice chat.

I don't think 'pick-up' is the term I'd use, but if you are interested in someone be yourself and just start a conversation with them.

I'd give the guy extra points if he dared to come up to me in a group. What most guys think is a girls night out isn't true most women do go out cos they want to meet guys. It'll show your bravery and most women appreciate that. Go over and introduce yourself to all then start a conversation with the one you're attracted to...pick up lines I'd prefer something unplayer-like...a basic introduction, 'Hi I'm so and so, have I seen you here before?' That way you are playing it safe, she can't kick your ass for it.

Okay here's what you I suggest you do.  Watch her for a little while.  Find something she's looking at or pick something on her clothes that you can comment about.  Basically you have to find some commonality to touch on with her.  And what EVER you do, don't over do it.  Seriously so many guys do this and it just turns a girl off.  Just be yourself and if you are going to date it'll happen.  And if you use a cheesy line I guarantee that's a no hitter for you.  Just act natural for awhile and observe her.  Women are ALL about a guy noticing the small things.  So if you've been watching her for a while, say a week or so then when she's wearing something you haven't seen before and it looks cute on her tell her so.  Or if you you're at a bar/club whatever and you want to "pick her up" there, I suggest starting up the conversation about something that is in the club/bar.  Music, lighting, drinks, people, whatever.  Just pick something and go with it.  And honestly if you crash and burn, don't give up.  Either keep trying with her if you think you got a chance or give up and move on.  Oh and once you got her....learn to be sensitive.  To the point of you wanting to gag.  Most women will eat it up, not all mind you, but most.  Yes I know it's tough to not be "manly" all the time but if you know when to be sensitive you got a leg up on the rest of the dawgs out there.

don't be condescending or know-it-all.  i've heard from women that the best way for a guy to approach them at the gym is to ask the woman for advice on doing an exercise.  lots of them hate it when a guy comes up and starts correcting their form or whatever.  \n\nalso keep in mind that some gyms are pick-up spots, and some gyms are just places people go to exercise.  if you try to pick someone up at the latter you are likely to simply annoy or get shot down.  also, try to size her up before you talk to her.  is she chatty or does she wear headphones and not talk to anyone?  if she isn't much of a talker she probably isn't looking for a boyfriend at the gym and may simply rule you out automatically.\n\nyour best bet is probably to just say hi when you see her next and, if she is at the gym often, say you've seen her around a lot and compliment her dedication.  smile, be nice and thoughtful, and if she gives signs that she's not interested, back off and leave it at that.  this is how you avoid being creepy gym guy.\n\ngood luck!

Never lose hope...just keep the smile on and plenty of eye contact on your prey.We don't mind a little hunt.It assures us that we have a chance.Sometimes one too many rejections\ncan make even a stud have doubts.We're half way thru with this decade you know..?When are more woman gonna think like you and "take the bull by the horn"?Society has really pulled a number on us guys...women are more in charge in positions/situations than the recent past...and in return men have different views on women.Although,good thing for females we still have our "manhood" down yonder-trust in that!It won't take long now...go out...explore...have fun.WE've been waiting!!!

It's a GUY! You don't need a "pick-up line". You could walk up to the average American male, and say "You don't look to god-awful ugly. Wanna go out some time?" and THAT would work.

Go out with friends and just have fun.  Don't approach the situation "looking" to meet a guy.  If you are just being yourself with friends, the guys will approach.

got this in a daily email\n\nAs far as starting conversations with women,\nhere are a few ideas for you...\n\n   First of all, you must realize that your body\nlanguage is more important than the words you use.\nWherever you are, and whatever the situation, you\nMUST remember that your composure and body\nlanguage are the keys.\n\n   I've watched a lot of guys approach a LOT of\nwomen in my day. And I can usually tell within the\nfirst few SECONDS if the guy knows what he's doing\nwith women... and if he's going to be successful.\n\n   Most guys use submissive, apologetic body\nlanguage and voice tones... they almost look as if\nthey're pleading with a woman to give them\napproval and that they're nervous and self\nconscious about the whole event.\n\n   In other words, most guys come across as\nWUSSIES when they first approach women.\n\n   On the other hand, the guys I know who are the\nmost successful with women are the opposite.\n\n   They're totally cool, calm, and collected. They\noften approach a woman and begin the conversation\nlike they would with an old friend.\n\n   There is no apologetic body language, and there\nare no signs of insecurity.\n\n   They aren't there to find out if the woman is\ngoing to give them some approval... on the\ncontrary, they are trying to find out if the woman\nmeets THEIR standards.\n\n   Think about how you'd act if you were only\ninterested in finding out if she's the kind of\nexceptional woman that you're interested in\ngetting to know better, instead of being concerned\nabout whether or not she's going to like you...\nbig shift, isn't it?\n\n   Now, here's some homework for you:\n\n   Sit down and think carefully about the most\ncommon situations you find yourself in where you\nsee women that you'd like to meet and talk to.\n\n   Think about what's going on in their minds,\nwhere they're going, what they've just done... and\nwhat they're about to do. Think about how they're\nprobably feeling.\n\n   Now, come up with 10 different ways that you\ncould start a conversation in this situation.\nRemember that YOU'RE the one who is trying to\nfigure out if SHE is the kind of woman you'd like\nto get to know better.\n\n   Once you've come up with 10 good ones, pick\nyour favorite, and mentally rehearse it.\n\n   I realize that I'm asking you to do some work\nhere, but it's sooooo worth it.\n\n   I'm going to give you one more hint...\n\n   Most of the guys I know who are great with\nwomen use the simplest of simple conversation\nstarters.\n\n   "Hi."\n\n   "What are you drinking?"\n\n   "Hi, are you from around here?"\n\n   ...I realize that these sound simple, and they\nare. But they're so simple that they're DISARMING.\nThey don't come across as canned "pick up lines",\nand they help you figure out very quickly if the\nwoman you're talking to is friendly.\n\n   And remember, relaxed body language is Key!\nthe subject was how to apporach women

TAKE COURAGE ! THERE IS HOPE.\n\nTry to be yourself in front of men and don't be afraid of them. They won't bite you. Don't be like "OOh, I gotta have them?" kind of thing when you are talking to them. Build your confidence by going to the gym to make you muscles firm, learn some skills, wear presentable clothes, improve your communication skills then I'm sure along the way, you will find yourself having a hard time de-impressing any man.\n\n\nTry this as well: \n\n1. Start with your interests/sports and hang around there (say, bowling alleys, swimming pools, etc.)\n2. Carry yourself modestly. Don't overdo it. \n3. A well behaved woman sometimes attract men (i think).\n4. Attend parties for singles.\n5. don't go to the bars (it's risky).\n6. If you are good to one man, this will be passed around in a jiffy. And you will meet more men...for you to choose from.\n\nALL THE BEST.

The easiest way would be online personals.  They allow you to get to know someone and actually think about what you're going to say to them, since the first conversations are usually text based.  My new personal favorite is www.mate1.com  It's FREE for women and it has tons of questions you can answer about yourself like your favorite movies, brands, tv shows, music, etc and you can place funny comments in there to show off your sense of humor.  Another good one is Yahoo Personals and www.match.com  Don't believe the hype about eHarmony.  I tried it and now call the site eTramp.

Be polite.\nUse manners.\nStay sober.\nHave a little extra cash available.\nSmile a relaxed smile.\nDon't complain, talk politics/religion or act bored.\n\nThe best and easiest way to a woman's heart is.....\n\nACT INTERESTED in her.\n\nAsk simple but intelligent questions about what she likes and thinks.\n\nTry to find common areas of agreement and hopefully some common ground on activities/hobbies/foods, etc.\n\nBe polite. Show her a good time. Relax.\n\nHey...........they get nervous, too!

Carefully.\n\nEnter in to some general conversation. Be polite and a gentleman. Try to identify what the two of you may have in common.\n\nThen, with a deep breath...smiles....ask her to join you for lunch.\nLunch is very safe. It is not really a Date..more like having Lunch.\nWe all have to eat.\n\nShould she not accept, no real feelings are hurt...and you save face.\n\nHint: By the time you have approached her, she has already made some observations about you. Women are very observant.\n\nHave a great time at Lunch.

You can meet girls anywhere you go. If you see one you like, you should go talk to her. As for pickup lines, DONT use them, theyre all cheesy. Just be yourself, ask her questions about herself, that should be enough if shes interested.

The biggest mistake most men make here is to only try and pick up girls in a classic pick-up situation - such as a pub or a night-club. When you think about it these are some of the HARDEST places to score - because they are packed with men trying to do the same and there are ALWAYS more men than girls.\n\nThe EASIEST places to score are those daily life situations, well away from the pressure of the dance floor. Every time you go out of the house is an opportunity to score. Remember this simple rule - THE MORE OFTEN A GIRL MEETS YOU IN A DAILY LIFE SITUATION THE MORE LIKELY SHE IS TO DATE YOU. One-off pick ups with complete strangers often lead to no more than one night stands which, at the end of the day, will not be enough to keep you satisfied. \nHow to Pick Up Girls at Work \nHow to Pick Up Girls in Pubs and Clubs \nHow to Pick Up Girls On Holiday \nHow to Pick Up Girls At Parties \nHow to Pick Up Girls On Trains, Buses, and in the Street \nHow to Pick Up Girls Using Dating Agencies \nSome Other Good Places to Pick Up Girls \nIn other words - MAKE EXCUSES IF YOU HAVE TO. Every successful man does it. Maybe you don't want to know about train times but if there's a gorgeous looking girl in the travel agents - why not?\n\nOnce you're seeing and meeting as many new girls as possible you can bring this proven four point plan into operation :\n\n1. The Open-Up Level : Making contact with girls you fancy.\n\n2. The Chat-Up Level : Letting them know you're interested, and getting them interested in you.\n\n3. The Warm-Up Level : Getting them to fancy you.\n\n4. The Seduction level: Developing a closer relationship
