Well, were down to two. My odds in my first review weren’t off as I put both Alvaro and Brady in my final three for The Pick-Up Artist.
Moving set test was a joke. To be honest I don’t even attempt moving sets like that. If they wanted to make the show better they should have had Mystery show the three guys how its done and open a moving set. Do you think he could have?’
Okay, Joe D has officially ruined the “Did you see the fight outside” line for everyone. He uses that line in every field test and reward challenge. There are other good ones. I would not recommend using that opener for awhile.
The stripper field test was pretty good. I liked seeing them rap with the strippers, but it is so hard to tell with strippers whats for real and whats for money. I thought Kozmo rolled with the punches pretty good with his girl. Joe D did pretty well with his girl. Joe really has come along way since the first episode. If he can just start hitting that attraction switch he’ll do alright.
How come we didn’t get to see Brady picking up the stripper. Sure we got to see him leave with her, but there was “magically” no footage of the pick-up. The one time we have a truly successful pick-up kiss close-probably could have fucked close if he wasn’t such a good Christian Boy- and there is no footage of how he escalated, DMV’d and all the rest. The editors dropped the ball by not showing us a success story. For all we knew he slipped $100 in her pocket and said give me the “champagne room” experience in my limo.
So Joe D. is gone. Joe, if you’re reading this, I know you probably are, because if I was on TV id be reading every review out there of myself, you did a good job, and I’m glad to see you’ve broken the mental barriers you had for yourself. Stick with this stuff. It works. You came far in three weeks, imagine how you’ll be after a year. Just don’t use the “did you see the fight” opener anymore. It’s dead!
Next week they do final eliminations. It looks like they’ll be teaching other guys the Mystery Method.
How soon before Joe, Brady, or Kozmo write an e-book or put out an audio course?

The difference between Brady, Kosmo and the other guys that have been eliminated is that these two guys exude sensuality and are able to create some sexual tension in their interactions.
It is interesting that one can learn all the lines and routines, but in an encounter, that state needs to be transfered to the target.
I have come to realize that this is something that has to be self taught. No one can teach you that!

Kojo,you are so correct. You need to eventually feel it, only so much can be taught. This is where it comes down to being a good student.

I’m sure they’ll all be working for Venusian Arts in some fashion when it is all done.

WTF was up with mystery’s “disguise”? I burst out laughing when he came out looking like a 7 ft tall Amish hobo.

Hello:
Joe D, you are great, keep the good work, you are the pick up artist as far as I know. Kosmo and Brady, is up to you to go and win now, you are the show, and you are my inspiration to be the next pick up artist. The episode was good, I wish I could have seen brady pick up the girl. The show is great, hopefully no girls are watching the show.
Thanks

Kosmo is an actor!! What do you guys think about that? I am not discrediting MM, I think it’s 100% but why would they do that? What do you guys think? Video game programmer, right

Sorry, I have to brag a little. But the day of the “Hired Gun Pick-Up” episode of “The Pick-Up Artist”, I fucked-closed a hired gun (who part-times as a model) using mostly Mystery and David Deangelo stuff. This show has been a huge inspiration for me and I used many of the techniques from the show (especially kino escalation which was my sticking point) in my pick-up.
September 18, 2007
Dude, that’s lame and sad if Kosmo is really an actor. Lame because if Mystery and his crew knew, why would they allow it. Sad because if they didn’t know, Kosmo is definitely in the wrong business. How could an actor be so bad at picking up chicks! And he actually stated in last nights episode that he is not good at using material that isn’t his? WTF!
If you really want a show that shows an AFC move into a RAFC or even pseudo PUA, then watch “Beauty and the Geek” I effin love that show.
It should be a peacocking manual for guys who have no style. Watch the series from start to finish and you will see what I mean…
September 18, 2007
Lets get some details!!! I love hearing a good success story.
September 18, 2007
Why is the fact that Kosmo an actor a problem? Are actors supposed to be good at pick-up? He’s not even hiding it (check out his myspace). Fred (the 45 year-old) is also an actor. Who gives a shit?
By the way, in LA, every waiter is an actor or a singer.
My guess is, Kosmo went into acting right after filming the show (which has been wrapped 3 months ago).
September 18, 2007
Hey look I love the show and am a devout student of PUA but it just seems that VH1 is going to great lengths to create the “geek personas”. I mean come on, Video game programmer and matress salesmen? And all of a sudden they’re actors? Fred seems to have taken a giant leap of faith , 3 months and the guy is now an actor? And Kosmo’s demo reel looks pretty extensive , looks like a lot more than 3 months to finish that , plus he just wrapped up a movie?!? Kosmo, you and your tricks. Love the entertainment value but I am not that naive. I’d rather see some PU taught to real people even though it might not look as flashy as VH1 would like it to be.

Im not defending the show, but I know a few bit part actors and they don’t swim in pussy

Real quick (and because I really enjoy this site), here are the details of my f-close.
I went to a bar in the San Fernando Valley saturday night. I’m all peacocked. I’m wearing black platform boots, a blue shiny shirt, a red spider-man tie (it goes with my identity), nice blue jeans, a cool star wars rebel belt buckle, a white Kangol hat worn sideways, a white sport jacket and a red scarf. This outfit gets me approached EVERY NIGHT I wear it (Mystery in person gave me the thumbs way up on that one when I met him at Saddle Ranch).
So the waitress (HB7.5, 24, hispanic, gorgeous face and absolutely perfect DD’s, she also part-times as a model) approaches me and tells me she loves my look and I’m cute and she wanted to talk to me. Since I’m already in A3, I do a quick little DHV (ring-finger routine) and move her to a booth to qualify her.
“What do you have going for you more than your looks?”, bla bla bla…
A few magic tricks (from Mystery), a little ESP, I hug her when she tells me she loves Superman and then push her away (”That’s all you get for now, don’t get any ideas”).
I disqualifies myself by telling her I’m too old for her (32 years old) and that we’ll never get along, etc… She tells me no, I’m not old at all, I look young.
I take her hand and put it on my knee. “That’s all you get for now”. She hugs me. I push her away and tell her to take it easy, I don’t want to get hurt. She stares at my eyes. I do the C-shape motion around her face as demonstrated in “The pick-up artist” while looking at her eyes, then down at her lips.
She does the same. I tell her I know exactly what she did and what that meant. I push her away and tell her she’s a little too turned on. She agrees. She asks me out on a movie date. Then she asks me what I’m doing TONIGHT. I then tell her my new favorite line: “just so you know, we’re not having sex tonight”. She laughs, hugs me. This time, I let the hug last. I tease her (physically) and we kiss.
Unfortunately, the logistics are against us that night. I time-bridge her to a coffee-date the next day just before her shift.
The next day, she shows up with her friend which I proceed to win over really quickly (I’m basically back in A2 there). I continue building comfort with my target now that the friend likes me. I use Mystery’s line “your friend and I like each other, are you cool with that?”. “Yes, of course”. Good. I got peer approval. Nothing can stop me now. I time-bridge her to diner at my place the next night.
She comes over, make out immediately. I use David Deangelo’s sexual escalation technique (2 steps forward, 1 step back) while telling her we should not do any of this and (when I sense a little last-minute resistance) “just so you know, we’re not having sex tonight”. We have sex about 2 hours in. Total time from meet to sex: 5 hours.

You sitll not the lay even with her bringing the friend.. thats good. a lot of times the friends fuck it up.
You’ve met Mystery? Did you take a boot camp or just meet him casually?
September 19, 2007
I met him on the street once. Then, six months later, I met him again at the Standard on Sunset and he invited me to join him, Style (who was with an HB9.5) and a group of girls for a drink (I hung out with him for about 2 hours and learned a LOT about body language watching him). Finally, I acted as a fly on the wall as he was running a boot-camp with Matador at Saddle Ranch (where he saw my outfit and gave me a big thumbs up).

This show is totally staged. None of the guys on the show pulled any hot babes. How in the hell is one of these guys going to be crowned “master pick up artist”. They are really no better than the average guy on the streets. I think Scott had more game then all of them if given a chance. This show makes the seduction community look bad. Why would Mystery involve himself in this crap?
