Neg (pick up)

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




A neg is a term used by pickup artists, meaning a backhanded compliment. It is meant to surprise the subject and engage them in proving their value to the pickup artist. The term was coined in 2004 or 2005 by Mystery (Erik Von Markovik).[1][2][3]

The idea of the neg is frequently criticized and alleged to be sexist.[4][5]
