Default Re: VH1\'s \"The Pick up Artist\"

[ QUOTE ]
One thing that no one has seemed to mention is that Mystery, while being very good, is almost certainly not "the best pickup artist in the world." He is just a kid that used to play DnD, got frustrated at being a virgin and introverted, and decided to "fake it until he made it."

I'm not trying to knock on him to make myself feel better like other guys, and I respect his work. But you are definitely buying into his frame when you call him "the best in the world." He gets alot of attention and a fair amount of money doing seminars because of this tag-line he has invented for himself and that others seem to back. This tag-line feeds his image and his ego.

The truth is there are many cool guys in the world and they have skills near Mystery's level. Whether there are people that surpass him, I don't know and don't really care.

exactly. guys have been doing this since forever, the nerds who want to make a life change just built him into a god because he knew how to market it. Do you really think mystery is a better at nailing chicks than Sinatra or Tommy Lee in their primes? not a [censored] chance. And its also sickeningly laughable that the guys who are into it, think there is no other way to pick up chicks if you dont do what mystery says.
