It is a North American slang expression and became very popular during the 70’s thanks to the magazine “Pick up Times” and a film and autobiographical production of James Toback called “The Pick up Artist”.
Its most recent massive use was from 2005 after the publication of the best-seller by Neil Strauss called “The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists”.
A pickup artist is considered a pickup artist, i.e. an expert in attracting girls, seducing them, conquering them.
In this sense, in TikTok, Instagram and Facebook it is possible to see thousands of proposals of pickup lines aimed at different sexes and one more original than another, although of course not necessarily its effectiveness is proven. Nevertheless, it is a very good first step.
