Putting the moves on

In July's FHM magazine (more research), there was some "special advertising feature" where guys try out new moves to score on women. The two pick-ups I think are best are:
-Sharing stories of your family to demonstrate commitment (even when the stories are fake).
-Complimenting a woman on her shoes.

Ones that didn't work were
-Dressing like a smart guy. (Everybody does that now.)
-Pretending to be a virgin. (That's so eighties.)
