A principle I've always used is just to pick a concept that you want to attach to their perceptions ("I'm alpha", "Don't see me", whatever) and repeat it in your head a few times. Once you've got yourself focused on it, expand it out into the physical space around you (that's really the best way I can describe it).
I used to use that trick too, it works wonderfully. But I also agree with Kinjo that that kind of attitude is almost necessary in order to make a girl attracted. Some may say that's generalizing, and but girls (and guys too - don't get me wrong) really ARE that predictable and almost every one of them will fall into the same traps, whether one realizes it or not.
I say used to, though, because I don't play the predator/prey game anymore. Once you know the secrets, it's like cheating in a video game, and it loses its luster.
The best way I found to stay creative is to picture yourself as you would like to be around "prey", and then assimilate that personality, essentially making it your own day-to-day personality. It gets easy once you fall into the groove of that personality, and never feels like you're "faking it".
I think it's natural and acceptable to play the game (or cheat at it

The reason these techniques seem to work is probably genetic... as Zahaqiel said, subconsiously telling the girl "I'm alpha", which (despite any moral reservations) she will respond to biologically. The end goal of the whole process, of course, to reproduce. Seems like just another samsaric attachment to me, but definitely open to interpretation.
