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….for guys that think there are special “magical incantations” out there that if you just recite them to a woman, she will fall madly in love, that if they ask a woman if she flosses before or after she flosses that she will be attracted. Guess what, fellas!? No such incantation exists. If this were the case, the news would leak out and be announced the world over…Women would be getting laid 24 hours/day…. and the guys with this type of AFC thinking would be right back to where they were before…
Thankfully this is not the case. What the show tells the world is that, yes, there are men that are dedicated to really improving their lives. You know who the show is most popular with right now? Women, by far!! They LOVE the show… I was watching the show with a girl and she immediately commented on how hot Mystery was upon glimpsing him for the first time. What does that tell you? Mystery is by no means an Adonis [pun semi-intended] and yet women view him on a very primal level lust almost instantaneously.
This brings me to a very important point: Sexual Communication such as State and Dominance have existed far longer than words [Credit: Tyler Durden]. Think of it… long, long before man uttered his first words and verbal communication was created, people were having sex. Verbal communication has been around perhaps 5 to 10 thousand years. According to Dr. Julian Jaynes, humans have only been conscious for 3 thousand years at best. Evolution does not work quickly enough to catch up with the ‘information age’.
What does this all mean? It means that, although routines and gambits are a method that can aid in teaching you the necessary skills, they are not the skills themselves. Becoming a man of true value is truly the end-goal. I believe a guru’s lines, gambits and routines only seem to work because you tend to say them with much more confidence and conviction because these high value guys have field tested and used them time and time again. Truth is, women are just evolutionarily hard-wired to respond to men of value and confidence and conviction are a few indicators of high value status. I could [and perhaps in the future will] make a lengthy list of traits that women perceive as valuable, but that is another discussion completely.
In the meantime, sit back, enjoy the show….and for chrissakes, truly become that high-value guy!
