-Being less affected by her and the situation as a whole.
You can do great just with the second point - ability to manipulate the situation. It is better to have the first point under control as well so that you can keep control of yourself, not be knocked off centre by anything that happens, and generally keep the thing running towards the destination you have chosen. Affecting others and not being affected yourself are two sides of the same coin that we call "being a man" or "leadership".
-Persistence and escalation.
We have assumed you are not good looking in this post. When you are not good looking you are relying on instead creating those chemicals in the woman by other means. If you are persistently touching her, chemicals are getting dumped into her system that are going to eventually make her want you, or just lose control emotionally and fuck you anyway. Your main weapon as a man who is not good looking is persisting to touch her until she fucks you. Into this subset also go things like your proximity to her and your non-verbal communications (eye contact etc.). Anything you say which is designed to elicit an emotional response (e.g. NLP) also goes into this subset.
So this first category encompasses your skillset and experience. It is important to pay attention to the things I have listed there if you are new to pickup, or if you haven't progressed much. This is because a lot of gimmicks and techniques are red herrings unless you know when to use them (and some are just red herrings full stop).
So if the technique you are about to try doesn't help you move the interaction along in line with your ORIGINAL intention, then you are allowing yourself to get knocked off course from that intention. This is the main reason sets fail, that I have observed.
If the behaviour you just did did not help you progress your original intention, one of two things happened:
i) You were knocked off course by something in the situation - this could be something the girl said or did that knocked you, or AMOGs (rare, 'cos there aren't really any AMOGs out there) or something in the environment.
But the main thing that I have seen in pickup artists who run bad or pointless sets is that they don't have their intention securely fastened down from the start. They will go out and talk to anyone, which is good for getting social skills I guess, but as an intention towards fucking women, it's pretty fucking useless.
So let me give you some examples of losing your intention halfway through a set:
-You don't pick a target and stick with it. This leads you to "stay and see which one likes me", but this is giving up your right to choose an intention and you are leaving it to the gods to play dice with your set. Pick a target and follow through on it.
-She says something designed to test you and you let it knock you. Your intention has now been changed from "fuck this girl" to "qualify myself to pass this test so I'm still cool". A subtle shift that flushes your original intention down the toilet, and with it, the set.
-You don't approach because you are scared of being embarrassed or whatever. This means you let the environment change your intent from "fuck this girl" to "try to avoid embarrassment".
So staying in control of your own emotions (not being affected by the situation) and being able to then use that as a firm basis for steering the situation in line with your ORIGINAL intent is the absolute cornerstone of being a man who gets what he wants. This rule is applicable to ALL of life as well as just women.
As a non-good looking guy, this is your most powerful indirect means of getting women interested in you. So as far as "having half the work already done" remotely, female preselection is in my opinion more powerful than looks, and is your most powerful remote weapon.
I don't think female preselection gets talked about enough around here recently. This might be because a lot of guys are struggling just to get one girl interested in them, let alone several they can take out to the clubs with them.
However it is something I have really jumped on recently because its power is just ridiculously obvious to me having gone out and compared nights where I was socially proofed with females (in a SEXUAL context, e.g. making out with them or at least being seen to be engaging them SEXUALLY) and nights where I just went out on my own.
So to me getting a gaggle of girls to go out with is just a powerful, straightforward way of getting lots of other women interested in you before you even open your mouth. And if worse comes to worse, you can just get sexual favours off these female friends. At the moment I hang out with one girl at the weekend (described a few posts down) and she helps me get leads to follow up in the week. At the end of the night, if I didn't pull anything home, she will just blow me, and if she doesn't pull, I will get her off by fucking her or with my fingers. It is a good friendship.

3) Good looks. It sets off chemicals in the woman that make her desire you, become lustful, and more likely to take whatever you say or do to her positively. I simply cannot deny the role of good looks in pickup. If you think of how emotionally off-balance you can become when you see a really nice looking female, this same thing happens in women when they see a good looking man. It is just basic biology. Use style to do your best with what looks you have. Like an ugly girl can put on makeup and become fuckable, style and accessories are your method to do what you can with your looks.
Notice how I didn't include several things that I absolutely consider red herrings:
-Humour. Funny guys who don't get laid are a dime a dozen. This is because if you were just following your intent as per point #1, you would get laid anyway without needing the humour. Humour is nice to have for your own amusement and fun in the field, but don't get distracted by it.
-Build/muscles (discussed). I just don't think it helps, from what I've observed.
-Having lots of things to say - clever stories, "perfect comebacks" etc. Talking should only be really used to fill in gaps between escalations. If you are using talking as an escalation via NLP, that is different, and is allowable. However, many guys talk because they are uncomfortable and don't know what to do next. When in doubt, escalate. If you get stuck talking and talking, you are not following through on your original intent ("fuck this girl").
Assuming you are not good looking, and assuming you have done your best with your style, as a man you only really have two weapons you bring to the table to get laid.
1) Ability to manifest your intent. This could be read as "ability to get the job done" and is broken down into the following:
-Being able to affect her and the situation in line with your intent (which should be "fuck this girl").
ii) You were trying a 'technique' you read on here or saw somewhere and you didn't know how it would pan out. This 'not knowing' becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because if you have that hesitation, it will almost always fail.
2) Female preselection. Being seen to already be sexually engaged with or desired by other women.
To make this post comprehensive, I will discuss the other two weapons a man can have in order to do indirect work:
4) Height. Vertical height will also set off these attraction chemicals in a woman. Height also flips "submission" switches in humans, both men and women. If you can flip submission switches in those around you, this will help you with weapon #1 (manifesting your intent) considerably. Tall guys get what they want through this mechanism. It is a natural biological response. If you have ever seen a tall guy getting served at a bar you will see him get served immediately before anyone else. I have not found build to be particularly powerful in any of these areas. I will react with more submission to a tall guy than a built guy. I don't particularly have reactions to build, but I will notice the submission switch start to be flipped in myself when a tall guy is around. And of course learning about these switches and how to not have them be flipped by your environment is part of that core emotional stability I discussed in weapon #1, and is developed through experience and observation of your own behaviours.
So to me this is a comprehensive post describing all methods a man can use to become sexually engaged with a woman.
