Pickup

Shows like pickup podcast teach you to handle the first 60 to 120 seconds of interaction with a woman, a skill which can take months or years to learn. It's analogous to learning a musical instrument, like a violin. Even if you only have to play for a minute, in order to do that one minute well, much practice may be required. It's not what you say, it's how you appear in terms of body language and how you say it. With the violin, it's not just the notes you play, it's how you play them. After the first 120 seconds, you are more out of the "pickup" arena and into just conversation and longer term interaction. This is also a skill of sorts, but one that pickup podcast doesn't focus on as much.
