Pick-up artistry

Discussions about pick-up artistry in the expert podcasts cover various aspects:

1. Chris Williamson and Ali Abdaal from the Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal podcast discuss how pick-up artistry, particularly methods like negging, gained popularity in the early 2000s and involved tricking women using neurolinguistic programming. However, they also mention the importance of improving oneself genuinely, such as through fitness, as a more robust way to enhance attractiveness 1.

2. Amy Cuddy and Steven Bartlett on the The Diary Of A CEO talk about reading body language and Steven's personal experience with pick-up artistry books. He mentions the utility of understanding human psychology through such books, although Amy points out she prefers resources focused on general body language comprehension rather than those aimed at manipulative techniques 2.

These experts highlight both the ethical concerns associated with pick-up artistry and more genuine ways to enhance attractiveness and social interactions.
