Whip your cock out and show them man is capable of flight

its in an amicable setting and they are like 50% women so no cocking around

Just be genuine and use clean clothes, way better than fumbling a script. It's better to start off neutral and build from there

You're pathetic. If you can't establish dominance over foids by helicoptering away, you don't deserve to have a friend group. Simple as.

Be firm, have confidence in yourself (doesn't matter if its fake), but pretend to be interested in their work/lives. Let them talk at you if they want to, and respond with approval.

If only it was that simple. Most people I've spoken to don't actually talk about themselves unless prompted. Continuously, but not too continuously, so it doesn't feel like an interrogation, and of course you should make sure to avoid sensitive topics (which vary from person to person; no hints in advance). Also, responding with interest and approval won't cut it; you need to know enough about whatever obscure hobbies they have to carry a conversation. No, they won't explain basics, why do you ask.

music bring up the topic asap and connect to whatever music taste they have

If their interests don't align with yours, you can at least acknowledge the merit behind theirs, and try to find a common ground in some broader category. One of my coworkers is really into warhammer, and I don't know shit about it, but we find common ground in worldbuilding, as I like to write. If hobbies are a lost cause, just try to bond over whatever shared motive brought you two to acquaintanceship in the first place, show your value as a worker/friend/whatever else.
