Seducing a Stripper [A Sneak Peak of Things to Come]

I know a lot of guys fantasize about seducing a stripper….with good reason. Dancers make for a truly exciting relationship and I recommend all guys experience this at least once in their lives. The problem is, picking up a dancer [never call them strippers, by the way…. They are dancers or entertainers] is probably the highest level of game. But it can be done! I should know…. I have worked in and been a manager for some of Las Vegas’ more notorious Gentlemen’s Clubs. (Read the article)


Acting….and the Pickup Artist.

I’m sure it comes as no surprise that Kosmo aka Alvaro Orlando… the new “Master Pickup Artist”….. is actually just an actor…..and a piss poor one at that! Check out this link: (Read the article)


Being Safe Is Risky, part 2

Hey guys….Here is a post I started months ago, and am finally posting:

I want to address another vital aspect of the concept of “being safe is risky”. In marketing there is a concept written about by Seth Godin called ‘The Purple Cow’. Imagine you are in a foreign country like France and you begin to notice cows grazing in the open fields and meadows. At first this may be quite breath-taking, but what if you were to see these cows over and over again? Would they be so outstanding? (Read the article)


The Dreaded 2-Set

Here is a situation that came up the other day when I wanted to sarge a woman in a 2-set with….her mom! My attraction game is getting super-tight these days and since I open the entire group getting attraction and compliance with the entire group is simple. I typically am ready to isolate my target in under 3 minutes now. But what do you do if she is in a 2-set and you have no wing? If you try to isolate your target in this situation, the obstacle will get bored or jealous and drag your girl away. (Read the article)


Why I’ve Ditched “Opinion” Openers

Everyone seems to love opinion openers. Hell, I used to use them myself…almost exclusively. But I’ve come to the realization, that opinion openers are shit! They were designed so that a guy could enter a set and not convey interest in the target, and to a certain extent they do just that. The problem is that they don’t often lead to anywhere seductive, except perhaps some clumsy transition into DHV stories [that she’s probably not going to be able to hear in a loud club] and other ‘attraction’ routines that often include parroting other’s experience or identity. They can work, but I think they are often a bit try-hard and unless you are a master of subcom and are truly interested in the opinion you are asking her for, she will see through this silly ruse of asking her “if she flosses before or after she brushes.” (Read the article)


Death to “Peacocking”!!

One of the most misunderstood and misapplied terms in the pickup community [besides “Negging”] is Peacocking. The problem with the term is that a lot of guys hear about it, then they go out and either copy little bits and pieces of other people’s peacocking -OR- they just add any gaudy piece to their ensemble and call it peacocking. Why is this a problem? What does doing any of this say about you. Ultimately, pickup is about conveying your unique identity to the woman. All the tips, tactics and techniques in pickup are ultimately geared at this. (Read the article)


FR: Gold-digger Night

I have been experimenting with a few new styles [mainly a Mehow style–mixed in with a little Brad P] and some different approaches to alleviating AA. First off let me just say this… Fuck opinion openers and other ‘indirect or witty situational openers’!! “Social Openers” are all you need! What’s a social opener?? Here’s my favorite one: “Yooooooooo!”. Another fave: “Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyy!”. I’ve recently become more and more aware that game and actually just interacting with people in general has everything to do with subcommunication [hereafter referred to as subcom]. What do the above openers subcom? Well, I didn’t just say “yo” or “hey”…. I elongated them and said it with a chill energy, this says I’m warm, fun, expect them to open, and that I live on Planet Adonis–a bitchin’ place to be! (Read the article)


The Power of Now

I’m gonna do a quick plug for this book although I thought it would be a cold day in Mexican’s ass when I’d ever recommend a book from Oprah’s Book o’ the month club: especially one that waxes all spiritual. Guys, get your bitch asses on Amazon and order Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now” [TPON]. I’m only 3/4 through the book, but let me tell you the profound difference this book is making. I kind of tune out all the spiritual mumbo-jumbo, but the rest has really been totally effective. (Read the article)


VH1’s “The Pickup Artist”

A lot of guys have been upset with Mystery going on a major network and proclaiming to the world the existence of our little community and giving out our precious secrets. “Oh, no,” they exclaim, “Now our game is going to become trite and played out! How dare Mystery give away our secrets!”

Let me say that this IS ABSOLUTELY THE CASE…. (Read the article)


Gurus I Recommend

I think it is important that every guy learn only one method to start. Master that one, then you can add other methods or fill in your sticking points with stuff from other gurus. One of my favorite gurus, Brad P, told me at a recent pickup summit that he guaranteed he has read far less on the subject than anyone else in the room. Reason being, if you study way too much it is extremely difficult to be fully present and in the moment as you interact with women. When you become completely out of your head and present that is when you can just flow and be ‘natural’. That being said, here is a list of my favorites: (Read the article)
