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.

I think if you Mystery, Frank Sinatra, and Tommy Lee all were suddenly transported into random bodies and lose their look and fame appeal that I'd bet on Mystery being able to meet more women.

im in the process of reading this thread atm.... but wtf at this.

sinatra > all.

The question asked is whether, transported into "random bodies", who would get the most chicks?

The reason Sinatra could get chicks is because he was Frank Sinatra. Mystery gets chicks based on his charm, not because of his fame.
