Pulling Chicks In Bars

by Jessica Hill

Even though I’ve experienced many a drunken fumble in a gay bar it wasn’t until I was asked to write this article that it hit me that I’ve have never actually done the pulling. I started to really doubt my pulling abilities, it was these doubts that led me to think it would be a great idea to get a gaggle of lesbians together and head out to Nottingham pride and get them to do the dirty work for me (queue the evil laugh)!

Armed with enough alcohol to fill a wheelbarrow we found a great viewing spot that we would call our base camp for the day. After a few cans the theories and stories started to roll, due to the fact that none of my friends seem to recall the intricate details of their nights out their stories weren’t much use. At this point I decided that maybe I should’ve been pickier when selecting friends to come with me. My girlfriend for one just didn’t seem that into helping me find the trick behind pulling chicks in bars, go figure.

I slowly realised that I would never collect any useful information chatting to my friends I needed to find more women to interrogate so a new plan was born, a drunken plan, but a plan nonetheless! We abandoned our base camp and started to chat to a few girls in the club next door. The conversation soon got flowing with several groups of lesbians who had some quite useful tips and advice. I tried to mentally make notes of all the advice they were giving but my brain slowly turned to mush and the questions got a little bit ruder as I carried on drinking. So here is the “[Drunken] Girls Guide to Pulling Chicks in Bars”.

Eye contact
People often underestimate the power of good eye contact, all you have to do is make eye contact with the girl that you like and if she keeps the eye contact going then you know that you have a chance. This is a very basic but often misused technique, you must remember not to look like a perve or a serial killer, it’s shocking how many people get this wrong.

Chat up lines
I have it on good authority that chat up lines can work but only when executed correctly. None of my friends were prepared to make a complete ass of themselves and risk the shame of a slap or drink over there head with the ones we were being advised to use.

Dancing
As well as being a great form of foreplay dancing can also be a great way to pull. Find a nice spot on the dance floor near the girl that you have been perving on, sorry I mean looking at. Whilst dancing try and catch their eye, if they look back at you then you know that you stand a chance. The next step takes some group co-operation, get your friends to move around the dance floor so that you end up next tonight’s Miss Right. As soon as you get close enough just ask her to dance.

Confidence
If you are one of the lucky few who were born with vast amounts of cockiness or you’re just too damn hot then you can get away with just going up to a girl and telling her that you like her. Obviously you risk making a complete muppet of yourself but hey, it’s a numbers game, right? Most people appreciate honesty and confidence, it’s simple as that. Just bare in mind that it’s a very fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Here are a few of the more ‘interesting’ ideas that were suggested to me, although they should come with some sort of health warning.

Put your own name and number on the wall of the girls’ toilets saying how great you are in bed and spread the rumour yourself.

Get your friend to go up to the girl of your choice and say ‘my friend fancies you’.

Stalk her from a distance, take lots of photos of her, find out her name, go home and stalk her on MySpace.

A lot of hard work, research and drinking went into solving the mystery behind pulling girls in bars. Ignoring all the advice given to me by the girls I spoke to I can reveal that the best way to pull is to walk right up to them and say this “Hi I’m ________ and I write for LoveGirls.co.uk, I’m working on an article on how to pull girls in bars, can you help?”.

You will never have to worry about going home alone again!!

I am hopeless at the whole'gaydare'thing,my ex is brilliant.She is also never single for long,literally she has a new gf after a week from breakin up with a girl! I can only tell a gay girl if she looks like 1oneor snoggin the face off another)Even though i was with my ex for like 3 yrs,i feel like im a inexperienced 18yr old again!

hmm...the confidence thing. I try that and depending on how intoxicated I am, it either goes extremely well or I come across as a complete dork but end up getting of with them anyway! Half of everything is luck, the other half is fate, but maybe the fate part is still yet to come!

Fortunatly ive never had to pull girls but i reckon when i do have to, i'm going to be a complete and utter newbie ^_^
So this has been a great help, albeit drunken but i reckon itll probably be in context later.

Great article!

But can I add something! about the eye contact thing, because im really confident i just go over to girls and dance with them, and im always the girl dirty dancing on the stage with random people BUT as soon as a girl i like makes eye contact, i immediatly look away.

and thats probably the reason why i never pull is because people think im not interested, so while the eye contact may work with others, sometimes even the most confident girls cant do it back, so if a girl looks away or doesnt even smile watch them from the corner of your eye, if they are watching you but when you look they look away quickly and they wont make eye contact for longer than a second, but keep looking over at you, for me thats my way of showing i like someone.

Well in my experiance the best thing you can have going for you is reputation.
Based on reputation alone I spent 5 or 6 years using the same method at every party.
Show up.
Drink a bottle of vodka.
Let myself get taken advantage of.
Also leads to many memorable threesomes and orgies...as much as one can remember.
Well it worked for me anyway.

nice story but sorry to hear you have a girlfriend jess was about to offer myself as a target for further research

Good read, I think you covered all you could there.

I always find eye contact to be diffiucult and sometimes misleading, mostly because I'm pissed and I can't see in a club lol, but arh well.. I use the dancing technique myself, works everytime, but my friends say its because i'm a good dancer.

i wouldnt say im a shy person bassically i usually go out on the scene, if theres a nice girl go up to her,let her see you check her out and ask her if shes single if shes not, walk away, stilling checking her out and i ask her if she wants me tonight and only tonight if not....

Posted by shorty, at 15:19 on Thu, Aug 9th

Posted by Roxy, at 13:42 on Thu, Aug 9th

too be honest, i love girls but i find it hard too talk to them, even tho on one drunken night i went out in chelmsford and my ex was dancing with a guy (didnt know he was gay but could see she was). i went up to laura and said who do u want, me or him? and hence my longest realationship!! being drunk works for me.
where as last week i just went to a gay pub and saw this girl who was so stunning, and we started chatting in the loos, like you do!!
and hen we ended up hooking up for the night, (drunk again)!!
wish i could chat up a girl without being shy, but this guide has helped!!

Thanks Jessica

Nothing wrong with a herd of Dykes! ; )
Can tell it's a very 'Tongue in cheek' article.
At the end of the day just follow what is comfortable for yourself.

Hi Jessica!! I saw you and your friends out in Notts conducting your research the weekend of Pride... I'm relatively new to the scene and compared to you, quite young. I've never read any of the gay magazines and only just found this website. I never tried to push my sexuality on anyone or try and look 'dykish' like you.. I'm not saying you do that but it's obvious you are an out and proud dyke and you don't have a problem with showing people in your appearance.. I do respect all females and males whatever their choices but I do find certain individuals try and control and intimidate younger (and sometimes older) more introverted characters with their behaviour towards them. Maybe a line about not overstepping the mark is required in your article as not to appear like too much of a herd of dykes out for their next helping of fresh meat.. xx

This was some amusing writing Jessica but as for the actual facts of 'pulling chicks in bars' some people have it and some people don't... I'm happy to say, I never have a problem with pulling... and age, look or location has nothing to do with it... nor does sleazy chat up lines! Good start but as Max said, a little more depth (or even more research!) required for your next installment on this subject :p

Hi, my name is Niall and I write for Lovegirls.co.uk.

Do you think it would work for me too?

Nice, well written article Jess, but whats up with your girlfriend being against it? I just can't understand her reasoning haha

Posted by Max, at 14:22 on Wed, Aug 8th

Not a bad article but lacks certain depth that can only come with experience ;-)
