VH1's "The Pick up Artist"

Keep it mind - I thnk its way harder to approach women in bars as opposed to frat partys at a university. 18-19 year-old girls are easier to deal with than 21-25 year old girls. These guys got put in a very tough spot where the really know no one. They are the worst pick-up artists and there being put in some very tough scenarios. The crash and burn and difficulty dealing with it is to be expected.

18-19 yr old college girls are lot less frigid and uninhibited than 21-25 yr old college grad hags...they loosen up again once they hit 30 or so I figure.

Watching these shows kind of makes me reflect on my life. I was shy and awkward around women, extremely so in high school. I improved in college a little bit to get laid here and there, and I'm married now, so picking up women is irrelevant. But it kind of pains me to know that there were all these methodical ways of actually studying and working on this aspect of your life that I was never exposed to.

It almost makes me mad at my dad. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] He was sky and geeky too, and the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. But that line of thought leads somewhere.... I'm thinking when my sons get to be a certain age (what age?!), I'm going to send them to some of these seminars or buy the appropriate reading materials, so they don't have to have the same crappy experience I had. Am I deranged?

Also, I think Mystery could be doing a better job of teaching.

To those who feel that way, remember that not everything can be shown in an hour long TV show. I just watched an INSANE clip on VH1.com (wish I could link) where they show more of the Mystery-Prabhdeep 1on1 session. He has a brilliant talk with Prabhdeep that is way more beneficial than the gambit he learned. I still hate Prabhdeep LDO but I think if anyone in the world could get through to him, it's Mystery. I highly recommend watching it, the clip is called "Private Time with Mystery".

It's true mystery spends hours everyday teaching them material and such, its condensed down to a few minutes for each show. That's why you always hear the guys freaking out that it's so much and they need more time to process it all.

Haven't read the whole thread. Quick question.

Why are guys going up to male/female couples and engaging them?

What is there to gain?

A male/female set != couple. They are often quite easy to open and demonstrate value b/c you can blow out the guy and/or get him on your good side so there is no cockblock. It's easier for a girl to abandon some random guy friend than to abandon her BBF g/f when on "girl's night out."

But if the mission is to kiss a girl the fastest way you're going to do that is finding a girl who is disengaged in her party already.

It supposedly increases your social value if you make friends with the guy and talk him up. Also you fly under the radar that way which is important in Mystery's method.

Man, this show is ok, but it feels like they are stretching 30 minutes worth of material into an hour.

Show is rigged, yo.

Um...more info, please? This isn't exactly conclusive. also, that jacket the dude is wearing in the lefthand picture is pretty snazzy.

hard to tell but it does seem like a lot of these guys have/had some acting experience in the past, but are genuinely into the show.

I kinda liked Joe W. but he needed to step up the 'being gay' impression people had of him. Of all the guys left I can only see Kosmo being a legit pickup artist, since he's good looking and has the most overall machismo potential. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.
