Seduction geek jargon glossary


Neil Strauss's entertaining book The Game -- about the world of geeks who have developed algorithms for picking up women in clubs and other social settings -- is loaded with arcane jargon used by speed seduction practitioners.

Here's a website that has a large glossary of pickup artist jargon.

HP: Hook Point. The point at which general interest and neutral interest communications with a set turns into the set being "hooked" by your presence (the group has an active interest to want you to stay, a chick's feeling of attraction is switched on).

IVD: Instant Value Display. Something which cues, very quickly, a display of your value.

OQ: OverQualify. The point where the chick rules herself out for not feeling competent enough for any kind of relationship with you. A situation where you come across so smooth and alpha that you simply overqualify yourself to your target.
