As a pickup artist I like to try and find locations that are target rich that I can either 1 go to for fun or to go there to practice pickup.
In my opinion a really important key to pickup is knowing your city. So all of you in San Francisco are ion luck I am going to share some of my favorite places to go and practice what I do.
We will start Simple.
In San Francisco there are small cramped coffee shops everywhere. I know a lot of day game notes tell you coffee shops are the way to go. But I would like to add this to the collection of knowledge saying the bigger the coffee shop the better.
My roommate and I were at a star bucks on Powell and Sutter. It was packed and it had barely twenty people in it. The crowded coffee shop produces a hurried stressful atmosphere. The coffee shop chosen to pick up in needs to be a little on the bigger side. Avoid the cramped small star bucks located on almost every other corner of SF. While some are appropriately sized they are for the most part too damn small. The one on Powell and Sutter is by far and away the worst I have ever seen. Some coffee shops that are good for pickup is the Coffee shop in the borders on Powell near union square. It is large has a nice relaxed atmosphere.
There are two star bucks I know of down on market street that have quite favorable atmospheres. I just want to state that I am not bashing star bucks all together I am just saying that they have a tendency to shove a shop anywhere.
The Westfield shopping center is an amazing location. They have fantastic seating areas where people go to rest that are fantastic for starting up conversations with women. The possibilities here are almost endless. I highly recommend below the dome around lunch time from Thursday through Saturday. Even outside of pickup the Westfield mall is just a tremendously wonderful sight to see.
The metreon Which is in walking distance from the mall is absolutely chock full of opportunities for the aspiring pick up artist. The arcade is a lot of fun to take dates and meet people there. There are groups of college kids going there for just kicks that you can meet.
There are a few really good restaurants on the ground floor. I recommend Buckhorn Grill. Not for any other reason than the food is delicious.
The yerba buena gardens outside is one of the most geourgeous parks in san francisco. It has a waterfall wonderful cityscape veiws. A childrens playground, an ice skating rink a bowling ally.
All in all the Metreon and yerba Buena Gardens is a great place to take dates because of all of the variety.
Panera’s On fourth street is right across from the china basin which holds UCSF classes. It is a common place for students to go for lunch.
Ill continue this topic in other posts and if you have any to add feel free this is only the begining of what I hope to be a regular thread. In my next post of this topic we will discuss more of the uncommon places and events in the city.
