Let's face it, every man wants a beautiful woman by his side. This has held true throughout history. Society, the media, and even our own peer group has taught us that picking up on a beautiful is reserved only for the wealthy, the famous, or the really good-looking men. For the most part this is true. Yet there are a small percentage of men that have figured out what it really takes to pick up on a beautiful woman.

If picking up a beautiful woman was easy, more men would do it right? Unless you're a natural with women, this can be one of the most difficult things you can do. A lot of men look for the latest pick up lines, routines, or want to know what topics would make for good conversation. Some men even go so far as talking about their cars, their career, the big screen television, or their home. What they don't realize is that talking about these things sounds insecure, desperate, and shallow. It also attracts the wrong kind of woman.

My opinion on this is I want a woman who wants to be with me for the way I make her feel and that she appreciates my individual qualities that make me who I am. I don't want to try and impress her because of what I drive, what I live in, or any of the material possessions that I own. Men who have to resort to that have no "game". By "game" I'm talking about the different skill sets a man has to have in order to approach a woman, start a conversation, build rapport, build desire within her, and make himself the prize to be chased and not the other way around.

Picking up on a beautiful woman all starts with the foundation to your game. To have tight game or a solid skill set to pick up on women just about anywhere you have to have a solid base to work from. You would never build a house on a weak, mud foundation, you would build it on a solid cement foundation. The taller and bigger the building, the deeper and stronger your foundation has to be. So think of it this way. If you want to approach and game a beautiful woman who is a 6 on a scale of 10, ten being the most beautiful and 5 being of average looks, then your foundation needs to be solid. If you want to approach and pick up on a woman who is a 9 or a 10 you better have a deeper and stronger foundation.

So what do I mean by having a solid foundation or solid game? Let's break it down into a managable, basic core of skill sets to focus on. The good news is that you don't have to focus on all of them at the same time. Here are just a few you need to be aware of:

1. The Approach 2. Building Rapport 3. Building Attraction 4. Building Natural Confidence 5. Conversation Skills 6. Obtaining Her Contact Information 7. Phone / Internet / E-mail Game 8. Setting Up The First Date 9. The First Kiss 10. Increasing Your Social Network

While we don't have the room here to talk about all of them in great detail, let's talk about the first one to give you an idea what I'm talking about. The Approach is a huge part of your foundation because without approaching a woman, you can never build rapport, which means you'll never build enough attraction to obtain her contact information. This is true whether you're online meeting women or if you're in a bar, nightclub, super market, coffee shop, bookstore, or where ever you find women.

A lot of men suffer from approach anxiety. Usually they are thinking about the potential rejection or feel they don't know what to say. The problem is that approaching women is a learned skill, which means you have to do it and do it often to refine your craft. Unless you approach at least a dozen women this coming weekend, you're not going to get better. "If you're a beginner you should start off approaching at least one woman per day that you do not know," says dating coach Rod Cortez. "Within a 90 day period, you should be approaching no less than 25 women per week."

This is now commonly referred to as "The Rule Of 25". The reason why men are generally not good at approaching women is that they don't do enough of it. Now let's take a look at building rapport. One way men blow this is that they come off as too needy, insecure, or desperate. These kind of behaviors do not build any kind of rapport. There are dozens of ways to build rapport. One common way is to use a combination of your sense of humor, confidence, and the ability to playfully tease when the opportunity presents itself. When you treat a woman almost like one of the boys or "like your bratty little sister", says Dating Expert David DeAngelo, you are communicating that her beauty does not intimidate you. You are also subtley communicating that you are used to dealing with pretty women.

Picking up on a beautiful woman does take commitment and hard work, but here is the interesting thing: over time you will find it getting easier and easier. After a few months you will look back and wonder why you ever worried about rejection or not sure on what to say.
