I vote that GTR gets banned from OOT as nothing he's ever posted has content, and it's usually bad for the forums.

One thing I dont like about this show is that the contestants are so piss poor it is mostly entertaining only as a freak-show of sorts. What I would really like to see is them cast people that are already getting laid regularly, and bring them up to super-high-levels of game.

This would be most entertaining because a really great pickup, especially with over the top moves / breaking through bitch shields / etc., is really cool to see.

im not talking about lays, lays are easy for any cool guy. i am talking about taking guys that are already cool, and making them superstars. like "tylerdurden" (owen cook) who later came up with his own company. he studied for 2 years, going out every day, and he would spend each month on a different aspect of his game. now his game is incredible, at the very least equal to mystery.

basically i want to see people that have a true love of the game and women. i dont want to see people that are virgins come on this show, because them being a virgin shows that they truly dont love women, otherwise they would have grown some [censored] balls years ago. those people that actually care will try hard on this show with an experienced instructor to bring their game from "gets laid" to "gets other people laid."

there is some "extras" material that is shown on vh1.com that is pretty good, some parts IMO better than the episode shown. i recommend everyone see it.

One part that wasn't good but still worth mentioning is when Fred (the second boot) said "I'm not a player, I'm just looking for that special one girl." Now that I have grown up, I see more and more how that statement is so [censored]. People that say that or think that, truly aren't that way in real life. They only say they want one girl because they can't even get one girl, so they aim lower and their self-image/self-confidence changes. I want to say more, but it is hard to describe how strongly I now feel about people that say this when they think they mean it, but really don't and are just using it as a tool to cover blind spots. I think also has something like "beggars can't be choosers."

The show's concept is definitely flawed in the sense that most of these guys are total herbs and goobers who are fodder for the audience to laugh at most of the time. Up to this point the average viewer has probably learned some interesting things about PUA, but watching these guys in the field is absolutely brutal.

I'd personally like to see guys with good to great game talking to girls in a club, disarming guys, etc. simply because their game would improve so much more with Mystery's help than a guy who's had no experience with girls whatsoever. These guys are terrible with opening, building attraction, comfort building, and closing, while most guys are only bad at a few of these.

Double Ice & DJC311: The point is that these guys won't be terrible by the end of the season. In fact some of them may end up even better than you.

I am enjoying this show way, way more than I thought I would, despite the cheesy reality Survivor stuff.

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".
