Picking up chicks - SUIT UP !

Well there are at least two different schools related to picking up girls. The "Mystery" and the Venusian methods, and the "Barney Stinson" method.
While the first one is really well documented on Internet, maybe even too much, the second one is a bit less known, except for people like me who love watching "How I met your Mother".

Mystery would say that you don't need to dress too classy, or so. He'd say that you need to show you take care of yourself (DHV) but that you should be original, even using crazy stuff like strange hats or flashy clothes...
Barney believes girls are basing their first impression only by their perception of the "look" of the potential lover. That's why Barney *always* dresses in suits. Nice costume, great tie, he looks perfect, and therefore he manages to get laid in almost every episode of the serie.

I tried it. And while I'm sometimes a bit too shy with the Mystery methods, last night proved me Barney's point of view is interesting enough to re-experiment this : I got to talk with a 7 only because I was suited up. She tried to get in contact at first, she did the work, I had nothing to do. But while she was getting closer to me, it was interesting to still have Mystery's ideas in mind : her body language was quite readable.
A nice evening in disco, suited up, even if I didn't get laid this time. :-)
