Are there any movies that show how to hit on someone?

Like a movie themed around the idea of approaching women?

Every romantic comedy ever made. There must be literally thousands of them.

Be more specific.

Movies, especially romantic comedies, are horribly misleading. Most of the "romance" there would be considered creepy by the majority IRL. But because it is fiction, the audience "knows" the characters + everything is always perfect; so it works on screen. That is the only place it works. Real life dating is too boring to be onscreen.

Thank you so much for explaining something that has mystified for decades! With nothing to go on in real life, I studied films carefully for clues as to how romances were initiated and it confused the hell out of me. The main general pattrern seemed to be: "man meets woman in unlikely place. They argue viciously, woman appears to hate man until...10 minutes later she succumbs and they are in bed together.". And the other main pattern seemed to me "man meets woman. Woman looks provocatively at him and arranges clothing to reveal intimate parts of her anatomy to him. 10 minutes later she succumbs and they are in bed together".

Neither of these 2 scenarios, or anything *remotely* resembling them ever happened to me, but at that time, I really did assume that movies must be based on real life as surely nobody would watch them? As a result got very very confused indeed. Eventually I realised that even 'realistic' films are total fantasy. Interesting that these same films are mentioned as being "realistic" in the reviews, so not only the audience, but film critics are also in on the pretence.

Glad I could shed alittle light. And these movies does do a lot of damage this way. Both by men thinking the way to a girls heart/pants is being creepy(most romantic commedies would be stalking IRL), and women not feeling content since they never experience the dream and not realising the "dream" would feel very unpleasant.

Yes, film shows us reality as we think it should be not how it is.

Yet some films are probably a lot different IMHO. I need some help here and I really think that a film that showed that would be excellent help.

I thought you were talking about Hollywood movies inwhich case there are thousands. But those do suffer from the problems Yasmine and ManErg described. They are meant to be entertaining, not instructional. If you are looking for an instructional movie, that's a really niche market. It might exist. Your best bet is googling the PickUp Artist stuff. They probably have links if there is such an instructional movie.

Try Woody Allen movies.


Or just make it simple and buy yourself a T-shirt that says: Wanna Bone?

Maybe with a picture of a drooling dog.

Annie Hall?

Movies are a BAD reference for human behavior... totally unrealistic, and why I've made some major errors socially .

You just don't understand how much I need some kind of tangible reference point here. How about literary depictions then, if you can't give me any movie ideas.

Somebody once recommended to me "The Way We Were" with Streisand/ Redford.

Wedding Crashers I know guys who are very successful with that type of approach; lying & pretending to be something your not seem to work quite will for lots of people

I've heard the film Swingers is all about guys teaching each other how to pick up women, but I've never seen it. Role Models had a guy chat up a women. Eternal Sunshine of the mind had 2 people chatting each other up.

I forgot to mention the movie "How To Be a Player". Do NOT listen to that Will Smith movie Hitch. I know lots of guys who are like that because they are nice & they have lots of problems finding women. The advice in Hitch does NOT work

There was a TV show called The Pick Up Artist, or something like that, a couple years ago. But a movie?

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell would have some examples, but that's not the only thing that movie is focused on.
