I've heard of the Pickup Artist, and heard he can use manipulative techniques to negotiate intimacy with one gender. What's his main theory?

The pick-up artist generally subscribes to the theory of “negging,” which is short for negatively complimenting. This theory claims that by making subtle jabs at a person’s appearance or character, you can make them lower their guard and view you as desirable. Additionally, the pick-up artist may use techniques like scarcity, where you use social proof to make it seem like other people are interested in them, or the “approach anxiety” technique, which is to relax with your audience before approaching a person of interest.
