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

Question: Why do fans of Mystery and his ilk get so [censored] defensive when anyone questions his abilities or methods?
I find this very psychologically interesting. It's the type of response you get from people involved in cults, et al.

Actually I find Mystery's stuff VERY narrow in scope when compared to PUA as a whole. His skills and methods relate very strongly to what people think when they think the worst of PUA. (i.e. just trying to pick up a chick and bone her that night.) His stuff does not equate well to relationships.
That being said, what this show is directed at is really on openers, and learning to talk to chicks without being a nervous wreck, and I think he's a very good candidate for showing people that.
