Ryan Gosling: guys want to be him, girls want to marry him. What's not to love about the guy? Sure sometimes he plays weird characters in movies, but the fact remains the Gangster Squad star is one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood right now, and given his A-list status, it's fair to assume that he knows a thing or two about getting girls to go home with him at the end of the night.

But how does Gosling do it? How does the modern day Mr. Steal Your Girl, pick up girls so effortlessly? It's very clear he operates a little more smoothly than the average Joe, but if you watch his movies—which, let's face it, you've probably seen more than a few—you'll eventually come to the realization that there are a few simple and effective steps to attracting the girl of your dreams. And we're about to let you in on his secrets to success.
