It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps. Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists. All he can do is give her an opportunity to choose him. We merely think we are and, on occasion, act as if we are. But, by believing in our nobler nature, women have the amazing power to inspire us to live up to it. Just say, "Thank you. It doesn't hurt at all anymore because why should someone who's a complete stranger have any control over your sense of selfworth? We all do that as we get to know someone.
Like a tabloid editor, we search for both greatness and weakness, jotting down notes in our heads for future exploitation. We are never comfortable with those who have no visible flaw.
And it has been the role of parents and friends, outside of some minor tweaking, to reinforce the belief that we're okay just as we are. But it's not enough to just be yourself. You have to be your best self. And that's a tall order if you haven't found your best self yet. They don't finish what they start; they don't live what they dream; they sabotage their own progress because they're afraid they won't find what they seek. I was experiencing seducer's paradox: The better a seducer I became, the less I loved women. Success was no longer defined by getting laid or finding a girlfriend, but by how well I performed.

The Pickup Artist: The New and Improved Art of Seduction
Repetitive this was really a 25 page book stretched over pages. Cheesy, horrible, unnatural dialogue. And from the sound of it, extreme fashion help is overdue for many of them. About half way through, I realized that the "seduction" aspect put aside, the "methods" could actually be put to much better use in other real world grown-up scenarios. For example, buying and negotiating for a car, professional networking, etc. And in that regard, I giv Repetitive this was really a 25 page book stretched over pages. And in that regard, I give this book 1 whole star because I now know how to take advantage of people who can give me something valuable.
He's really hawking increased social skills with a few advanced lessons on interpersonal negotiations. I've heard the lines before literally and while they might help a guy get more comfortable in his own skin, ultimately they make him look and sound exceptionally unoriginal. So, if you're a pathetic guy and you want to come across as a douchebag, then this is definitely the book for you. Thought I would try reading something way off from my usual historical fiction genre.
The author appears to believe a succession of sexual conquests is an ultimate achievement. Mo Thought I would try reading something way off from my usual historical fiction genre. More is clearly regarded as better in his world, quality probably is not. Jul 13, Jennifer Taylor rated it it was ok. Every woman especially every single woman should read this book. It's a disgusting book to listen to or to read due to the nature and content.

I remember that Mystery's first book The Mystery Method: I didn't know where else to turn until I stumbled onto Mystery's first book when the whole "PUA" scene was just starting to become ex I remember that Mystery's first book The Mystery Method: I didn't know where else to turn until I stumbled onto Mystery's first book when the whole "PUA" scene was just starting to become exposed. It blew my mind and started practicing "out in the field" with girls I knew and would meet and for the main part, the first book served as a good general guideline to meeting women that you want and successfully getting them interested in you, and then taking it from there.
As the book says, you can learn all the stuff there is in the book, but in order to understand how to work as well as getting good at game, you have to go out there and do it. All the good PUAs out there right now got good because they weren't afraid to fail, and I had to stomach my pride before I started getting consistent results. I wouldn't change a thing now because it's such an awesome feeling choosing which girl you want to meet.
I got the second book with so much excitement and expectation because I feel like his first book improved my game and social life so much. Man, was I disappointed! He opens up the book talking about his entourage and his super-mansion and basically any other material things he can mention in order to show off that he "made it. Then, finally he starts mentioning a student who comes for a private one-on-one instruction but not before putting in a shameless commercial plug for his services , and then starts to just touch upon the things that made his first book so great.
When he finally starts talking about "the Mystery Method" and the guidelines to seduce a girl, it's very badly worded and scattered all over the book, making it very hard to understand. It's thrown in between how much stuff he owns and what women he banged last week, making his teachings seem cheap and disparaging. What you can piece together are basically regurgitations of his first book, aside from some different names and updates, but basically nothing new. After a few chapters, it's pretty clear as the same style of writing is prevalent throughout the whole book.
He's officially now a sellout. It's unfortunate because I got good at game because of him. Now, he seems like just another guy that let fame get to him. If you're gonna read one of his books, read the first one. However, there are WAY much better guides to picking up girls nowadays and without so much fluff. If you really want to learn advanced game, try Magic Bullets: That explain things so much better, is more up to date, and is worth the money in my opinion.
They tell you of past success through experience without showing off, so you get more of a feeling of how it works and how you need to "calibrate" your game since there's no "one size fits all" method for all women, which is something I think most pick-up artists fail to mention and something I found out through experience. Much of its information is from straight out of the basement ; the rest is either common sense advice or social skills that many individuals just don't learn growing up. They also run many forums where prospective PUAs can share advice and anecdotal field reports.
This is almost free validation for PUAs since young men have been bragging about their made up sexual conquest since the beginning of time. You look like you're going to spend your life having one epiphany after another, always thinking you've finally figured out what's holding you back, and how you can finally be productive and creative and turn your life around.
But nothing will ever change.
