Mystery Getting Shit Tested
Mystery went on this television show and got blatantly attacked by this Chelsea Lately. She had it out for him right from the beginning.
I think that he handled himself fairly well considering how much negativity he was facing. I would have slapped that smug expression of her face.
But I still think this is the perfect example of why the word “target” should be banished from every PUA’s vocabulary. It just creates the wrong image, and also can put you in the wrong mindset.

what a bitch. its a good thing nobody watches her show anyway, otherwise Mystery mightve taken a little bit of a hit there reputation wise. she made him look like a clown.

Yeah she definitely was a bitch to him. But I think towards the end, she was kind of digging him. A lot of times when it seems a woman doesn’t like you…they are actually interested….I bet he could have her. But she ugly so hell no!

Haha. Spot on, Kevin!

The terminology, his dress, and the general disposition of society were all against Mystery in that show…not to mention that chick’s insecure, bad attitude. Funny though, she’s been gamed (and gamed herself) by more guys than she can count. It’s just the fact that pick-up is presented as a learned science with funny terms and weirdly dressed guys that irks most people. Game is present in EVERYBODY’S life…we just aren’t/weren’t aware.
Props to Mystery for completely handling that chick. He didn’t react negatively and she obviously was biased and closed-minded.

She was so pesimistic and had a chip on her shoulder from the start. But he handled it really well, brushed her off, very calm and didn’t give in to any of her shit! Good stuff, stupid bitch ha!

I loved how unreactive Mystery was despite her horrible attitude. Reframing all of her “You are a weirdo†threads into positive statements. I think this was his best media performance to date.
Mystery shows that if you just remain cool and reasonable while being attacked you can defeat any bully. And if the bully is a woman she’ll probably be attracted because knows that she can’t control you.

Mystery is pure genius but i don’t understand why he’s not able to answer properly to very common jokes they make about him. The only thing he does is laughing condescendently.. There are million better ways to stay cool and collected whith people like Chelsea trying to mock you.. That’s weird because Mystery teaches what a man should do in those very situations but he doesn’t seem to apply it for himself.

Banish “target” from our vocabulary just because it supposedly “offended” whoever this woman is? Fuck that!
I’ve personally eliminated such words as “bitch”, “ho”, “whore” and “slut” from my vocabulary because I find them counterproductive and judgmental, but I’ll be DAMNED if I quit calling a girl I’m interested in a “target” to my wingmen just because this BITCH wanted to nitpick and find something petty to complain about while being completely judgmental herself.
Ooops…. I used “bitch” didn’t I?!?
PS: Mystery kicked ass once again in this interview! Mystery came off good and basically made the woman look like a bitch to us guys. Remember guys are his “target” from a marketing standpoint, not women.

My suggestion to banish “target” from our vocabulary has little do with how that women reacted…. it has much more to do with how I react internally every time I hear the word. Maybe its just a personal thing…
Even out in the field with my buddies… I’ve never used the word target. Not so much because it might be offensive to girls… but because it just sounds creepy to me and puts me in the wrong frame of mind.
but to each is own.

i agree with Mack Tight, i would never change my vocabulary for anybody. in fact, i have been known to call a couple girls bitches to their faces, but i manage to do it in a cocky funny way by making sure they have somewhat bitchy tendancies first, then calling them out on those tendancies and following it up with a hug.
For example: Girl” blah blah blah(bitching about something)”
FredEx “Omg, your such a bitch!! i love bitches, give me a hug!”
i do that because thats how i like to flirt. i like pushing girls to the limit and just having fun with peoples reactions. some girls cant handle it, but thats their problem not mine,.

Hey, I use whatever language i feel like around girls.. and will often call a girl a bitch or whatever happends to be appropriate to the interaction.
my concern was with the use of the word target in general. if you see nothing creepy about the word… then by all means continue to use it.
I just happen to feel creepy even saying it…

Hey Bobby,
I’ll be the first to admit to my ‘bitchy-ness’ at times. I can even relate to how FredEx brings humor into it when he utilizes that sort of vocabulary (sort of… lol), but I am just curious if you can give an example as to an interaction you have had in which you have flatly called a girl a bitch to her face.
Considering that can be a very harsh word to use, I am just wondering in what type of context you would use it.
