PUA words? They just bring back bad memories of me endlessly reading books searching for code words and secret tips when I was new to this all...

Break the touch barrier! Nothing makes you feel more human than making contact with someone else in a friendly way! Almost every animal specie out there relies on physical contact for some form of communication. Outside of handshakes, touching another person in our current society is pretty much non-existent or reserved only for friends, relatives and lovers.
So, what's the fastest way to shortcut that awkward phase with someone, or go from being a nobody to a somebody? Make contact with them! (in a non-creepy way). Touching someone will automatically make you seem like less of a stranger, and will make you more warm and inviting than 90% of people out there.
Ever been at school / work, and there's the douche bag that you love to hate, but sometimes he'll give you a friendly smack on the shoulder, and you can't help but enjoy his company, even for a microsecond? Same thing. But mix that same emotion in with being confident, well groomed, inviting & interesting around the ladies and you're a sure hit.
