In the last episode after he started break dancing (against the PUAs advice), he went on camera and started bragging about how the ladies were LOVING it, and he was so cool out there.

[/ QUOTE ]
I saw the break dancing (lol), but didn't see him bragging about it. Must've missed that part.

[ QUOTE ]
He was also ridiculously unimpressive in this episode, "am I funny?" etc, lowering his value to the ladies. Again he went on camera saying that he was doing GREAT with the girls, but made some mistakes.

[/ QUOTE ]
I agree this was terrible. But IIRC, he admitted this on camera.

[ QUOTE ]
Even going to a bingo parlor and talking to old ladies is a good idea.

Did you watch the Seduction School series (I think it was linked earlier)? That's what they did, and it definitely helped them.

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is so completely retarded.

[/ QUOTE ]

WTF is with you calling people idiots and retards just because they don't agree with you? It makes you look like a [censored] high schooler. Grow the [censored] up. Its especially ridiculous since you have by far said the most ridiculous thing in this thread with your condom comment.

Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Too much reality show stuff though, not enough mystery advice and field testing.

I've seen mystery before and always thought he had good charima and a natural presence. I'm surprised some people disagree, but I honestly think it's just inherent bias.

Pradeep is a tool, joe d is a pimp, the others are all very bleh. The blonde joe and brady may end up doing well, the others will have to work alot harder.

Will definitely watch this season out, it's alot of fun.

Game is most important, but 90% of the time truly good lookign guys dont need a book on it and its just natural, so its not really "game", its just what they learned works.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is not "game" it is confidence. If you are good looking, you have no reason to lack confidence, so you probably dont have too much problems with girls, cuz everyone knows and tells you that you are good looking.

I am loving this show. It is satisfying to both watch the nerds crash and burn AND succeed.

I agree that Pradeep is a big tool. His problem is that he thinks he's smarter than everybody and then over-thinks/over-analyzes/over-plans.
