Re: VH1\'s \"The Pick up Artist\"
[ QUOTE ]
I think this show will be like Juggler's series, Seduction School, which I really enjoyed. Basically a bunch of virgins/internet forum posters with trouble getting girls. However, the Juggler and Mystery styles are so different that I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to watch it. My bet is that instead of focusing on the guy's internal issues and working to help them be more confident with themselves and thus ultimately women (like the Juggler series), this show will instead be mainly about Mystery's dominant personality and a bunch of cheap gags to "seduce" women. I hope I'm wrong though. Brian [/ QUOTE ] I agree. There is no way anything Mystery does will be like what Juggler does. One of them is all about authenticity and the other is all about top hats and platform boots. Oh and this show will of course be excellent in some way or another. Either high unintentional comedy or a compelling look at socially inept guys actually improving themselves. Yugoslav

PUAs are experts at picking up rape and incest victims. [/ QUOTE ] Do you think that a higher % of hot chicks have been raped or been incest victims compared to the % of not hot chicks? Yugoslav

Don't for a moment confuse PUA with "picking up girls"... [/ QUOTE ] PUA means someone who picks up girls. So I think your statement is pretty silly...your previous point has merit but I don't think people put much thought into the alternative of being a social robot. For many guys it's really the only way they can get themselves on the path to "real" social skills with women. Yugoslav

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

[ QUOTE ] I'm wondering, why do you guys dislike these guys so much? Because you think that what they do actually doesn't work and is BS, or because you think that actually working at becoming better at picking up girls is silly? [/ QUOTE ] I think for me there are some lengths you can go to pick up girls, just like making money, that simply aren't worth it. If I can't meet someone as myself, if I have to rely on some kind of parlor trick that pushes the buttons of hot girls with self-esteem issues, it's not worth it. I'm a pretty weird dude, but every now and then in life I meet my weird match and we have a cool connection. I wouldn't want to kill that chance, however remote, by acting from a script. I realize it's not all about neg-hits, and the littler bald dude actually appeals to me a lot more. He seems to emphasize working on your own confidence issues and meeting someone for the long haul. Watching Mystery in action is pretty repulsive to me. [/ QUOTE ] It's only about scripted stuff to start with. It's like having a preflop starting hand range in poker (kinda). You're supposed to not need one after you actually develop talent. Yugoslav

This dude has a good sized following. Own forum, DVD's, books, the whole shebang. At one time he was even doing paid seminars where you do some classroom work, so to speak, then go out and practice what you learned. I read some of his material, and even used one of his plays (meeting a girl who's with a group of guys). Basically, chum up to the guys first, then chat up girl. While nothing came of it, it did work to get me "in". [/ QUOTE ] lol Yugoslav

Re: VH1\'s \"The Pick up Artist\"
Yugo I seem to remember you making like 20 replies in a row the last PUA thread we had. Is this some kind of bombardment strategy to get OOTers to sleep with you?

Mystery "programmed" his followers with specific techniques. I mean PUA in this sense, not hotshots who "have game". It was pretty clear that Mystery was not interested in just "picking up girls".
