Vh1's The Pickup Artist 2 Episode 2 Review

Pickup Artist Mystery’s Openers

The second episode of The Pickup Artist has come and gone and we didn’t really get to see anything new out of the show.? While I am happy to have heard a couple new openers and pickup lines thrown in there… most of them seemed to be the same old stuff.

What I thought was most interesting about this particular show was the brutal rejections that the guy’s were facing infield.? Quite frankly, those were some of the worst rejections that I have ever seen caught on film.

I really think it has to do with the fact that women are getting immune to the canned opinion opener.? Now this isn’t to say that opinions openers don’t work anymore… they certainty do.? But I am a firm believer that opinion opener has to come from something you genuinely have an interest in knowing the answer to.

I posted an article titled the right way to use an opinion opener about nine months ago and still fully believe that if done in this manner you won’t see the poor results these guys did.? But if you go out and use the five year old “Montel Williams opener,” “spells opener,” or the “who lies more opener” you run a serious risk of coming off as fraud and getting blown out.

The girls will not consciously realize that you’re using a canned opener from the show… they will just intuitively sense something is off.

As for the elimination… I’m not too sad to see Kevin go.? Maybe it was all his bitching back in the Vh1.com contest days about Mike Stoute being too good to be on the show… but I was kind of happy to see him go.
