I've used two methods in the past. They usually work quite well.
The first one is I see if a guy I know has his eye on a girl who is chatting with a girl I like. I go over to the girl he wants, tell her he's really shy and ask her if she could just talk to him for a few minutes. Then, when she leaves, I ask the other girl a few things like 'do you think they'll be good together' or whatever, before switching the conversation to asking about her.
The other trick I usually use is a mixture of badmouthing myself with a smile on my face and talking her up. I was once asked by one girl why I hadn't used a pick up line on her and I responded, smiling, cheerfully and confidentally, that I thought she seemed a little too good for me. When she said I shouldn't think like that, I asked her if she was hitting on me.
That's usually my main strategy, to swing it around so that it seems she's hitting on me, playing with my words so that it seems like she took the first step, and then responding positively, as in 'yes I am interested'. But I've noticed talking to a girl confidentally gets you close to 50% of the way there. If you act shy, then she would have gone to you.

you like stuff too? ....hah that's cool.
The funny thing about that video is, despite wearing dorky clothes and using the absolutely worst pickup lines they can conceive of, when they delivered it right 1/2 the girls gave them their numbers.
I don't approach saying hi as asking them on a date. I treat it like I want to be their friend and get to know them. More often than not my dates were girls that I'd met with more of an intent to be friends than anything else.That's part of what's so hard about trying to pick up girls. Yes it's so much smoother, without weird vibes, when you go in thinking "We can be friends." But you know that's just a bunch of bullshit. No guy goes up to some girl so he can make friends with girls. It's like doing something you don't really want to do.
Yes yes we're all friends here. But this is the internet. Different.
Heh! You wanna know the best way to turn off the girls?
This works pretty well I find…
-Be a pompous arsehole. Expound at great length about your opinions on everything. Be as knowledgeable as you can (easy in my case, of course :)), and opinionated!
If that doesn't work (sometimes it doesn't :(), go on and on until you exhaust them utterly with your knowledge of some single, bizarre, specialised expertise on a piece of unusual trivia.
If you're still having trouble… Fall back on rebuffing all casual attempts at easy conversation and light small talk with an air of cold, arch aloofness!
example:
Girl- "heeey, I LOVE your shoes, they're amazing!"
You- "Really? How nice for you."
Sadly, even that can fail though, but you have one last arrow in your quiver:
The cold, flat stare.
Seriously, those spine-freezers will guarantee you a partner free life ^^

Why dont they like intelligence?
Dont you wanna have smart kids? For the greater good of the human race?
Heh, intelligence doesn't bag the woolly nor does it keep away harassing young males. Muscles do. Higher logic can't fight millions of years of genetic hardwiring.Good logic is good.
I carry a gun now, anyway, so I never have to lose a fight *LOL*
Some retard isn't going to get the joke…
I'd do my best from avoiding topics about 'size'. Most girls are pretty uppity about such topics especially when they're brought up by someone they don't know. As for good topics, I guess if you're a girl complimenting on something she's wearing and going from there. ( pay attention to social cues though, don't just parade yourself in there and not take the hint if the girl/s don't want you around for whatever reason) if that doesn't work, keep your ears open for interesting conversation if something arises SOMETIMES you can get away with something like: "Hey, I don't mean to be eavesdropping but I just had to say that–" and go from there. But be careful cause this doesn't ALWAYS work.
For the most part though, above anything else, be yourself, relax and try to have a good time. If all else fails, don't go to a party alone and stick with a friend or with who hosted the party, you might get introduced to some nice people that way and can have them start the conversation so you won't have to.
Hey! Here's the most awesome, original idea on the planet!
It will score you so many ladies, your wang will explode in confusion!
Shhhh, don't tell anyone, it's a secret.
Only the ladies know this incredible secret. But I will tell you anyway, because I'm cool like that.
Want me to tell you?
…..HmmmmmmmMMM?
OK…..
….here goes…..
….JUST BE YOURSELF!!!!
Really, that's all we ask for. Being someone other than yourself is a major turn-off. And yet, being yourself is so easy, I think men forget to try that. lol!
That's kind of misleading advice, lastcall. Such a thing only works for the one and not for every one. Many times someone's "themselves" aren't desirable.
If it were 100% true that is all that is needed, then we wouldn't hear things from females like, "I wish you weren't like such and such!" or "Why do you always do this and that?!" I think women forget about that.
The advice should rather be, don't pretend to be who you wish you were, because it's really obvious when you're faking it.
I force myself to be outgoing and friendly, especially to women, and when I say, "Yeah, I'm actually really shy" the reply is always, "Oh, bullshit, that's hilarious!" Guess I've just gotten good at it, haha.
I tell her about my exploits in the battlefield and ask her if she wants to join the cult of my evil god.
That would totally work on me.
But so does, "do you like zombie movies?" It all depends on what kind of girl you're looking for. Your mainstream girls are going to appreciate that you're stroking their egos, your nerdier girls would rather talk about something of common interest. Also, back in the day when I was young and single, I always wore a "icebreaker" item, like my favorite band t-shirt or a button or something to attract males that would know what they meant. So if you see that on a girl, and you know the skinny, go for it.
As for icebreakers, I agree with everyone who said "hi, how are you doing?"
Whenever I go to a new place, usually if I'm living there and there are other people I'm going to be in contact with, I like to lie on the floor. Because then people will want to ask me why, and conversation grows from there. It's a good way of introducing myself really, since they also gain the knowledge that I'm the sort of person who introduces himself by lying on the floor.
Warning: Do not use at parties.

You both speak some truth there.
I've tried the be yourself trick = instant failure
I've tried the trying to be someone else trick = physical success (more good vibes from women) but spiritual failure (I feel like shit inside and its just a big guilty feeling)
Quit being such a drama queen. It's not some simple formula. Being yourself does not mean being some dorky creepy shmuck. Nor does being someone you're not mean hiding everything honest about yourself.
Like all social interaction it simply means a degree of tact and control. If we go by your reasoning, then internet interaction at 4chan and TD are our true selves, and everything else is a lie.
