The Pick Up Artist On VH1 – A Review

Filed under Rants & Reviews
So hopefully everyone caught the premier of VH1′s new series, "The Pickup Artist," starring our beloved Mystery, along with his wingmen Matador and J-Dog.
Before the show came on, I was really excited. I was hoping this was going to be Mystery’s big break. After all, the potential for this type of show is massive, and something like it has been talked about and fantasized within the community for years.
Unfortunately, I don’t think this will be the show everyone hoped it would be.
Read on…
The Good:
So we’ll of course start with what I thought was good about the show. First of all, I think the guys they picked to be on the show were good casting decisions. They really run the gamut of every type of "community" guy I’ve ever met. But all of them seem to be good natured guys in genuine need of a real life change. After meeting them all in the show, I found myself looking forward to seeing their transformation from AFC to PUA.
Secondly, they picked a good location. Austin is a great city for pick up! Though it’s not quite as glamorous as New York or LA, I’m sure it was much more budget friendly for this show. However, there are tons of beautiful girls in Austin, and a great bar/club scene there.
The show also takes a sympathetic look at what we teach in the seduction community, which is nice for a change. So many mainstream media outlets like to look at this pick-up stuff as a way of manipulating women instead of what it really is: Male Self-Help. I liked that Mystery himself pointed out this is about improving the guys’ lifestyle and making them better people. That’s not a "dumbing down" for mainstream TV, that’s actually the real deal.
The hidden camera stuff was good too. Sometimes you couldn’t quite see the girls they were talking to, but you got a real feel for how it is to go into a club and start approaching women. For those of you who have yet to go in the field and talk to girls – that’s what it’s really like! They’re not overtly mean to you, they just kind of turn their back and ignore you if you’re not doing well. So I thought that segment of the show captured everything perfectly.
Also, the part where Mystery and the others were watching the guys crash and burn was great! It was really funny to hear the terrible mistakes the guys made, and the reactions on Mystery’s face… priceless!
Finally, I thought Mystery came off well. Although, he didn’t come off as very relatable. He was actually quite stand-offish, way moreso than he usually is in a regular workshop where he’ll pal around and kid with people. I get what the directors of the show were going for, but I would have liked to have seen him have more personal interactions with the guys.
Also, I thought Matador and J-Dog came off well. I’ll be interested in seeing how their roles expand in upcoming episodes.
The Bad:
Okay, now I’ll get into what I DIDN’T like about the show. First of all, it was way too cookie-cutter reality TV. I felt like I was watching an episode of Beauty and the Geek without the Beauties. I really, really, REALLY don’t like the whole elimination deal, and I’ll tell you why…
First of all – after getting to meet all the guys on this show, and seeing how in need of help they are, it’s just going to be MEAN kicking them off without helping them achieve real success first. The whole competition thing about becoming a "Master Pickup Artist" is just lame.
This show is trying to be "Beauty and the Geek" when it needs to be more like "Cool Eye for the Awkward Guy." We need to see these guys be nurtured and transform into people who are able to achieve their goals. I want to see the 45 year old virgin get laid and get married. I want to see the fat guy get a chick and feel good about himself. I even want to see the annoying Indian guy mellow out and have a good time.
But chances are, none of that will happen, because guys are going to get kicked off in a very unceremonious way.
Also – the house they’re living in. It’s nice, but… BUNK BEDS? How are you supposed to take a girl home and bring her up to your BUNK BED? Give the guys their own rooms, for the love of Pete! Part of what made Project Hollywood so awesome was the fact that it was a place you could bring girls over to, and the environment would help you "close the deal."
The Austin PUA House is cool and all, but I’m guess no girls are pulled back there at all.
Another thing I disliked was the female announcer’s voice. I would have much rather heard Mystery himself narrating the piece. As it was, we didn’t even get to SEE Mystery until about a half-hour into the show. Mystery has such a great personality, and he didn’t even get to share it with the audience yet.
And when Mystery did do some narration, they had him in a weird candlelit room that looks like something out of "Uncle Dracula’s Saturday Afternoon Movie." C’mon! This is MYSTERY! One of the world’s greatest Pick-Up Artists! Have him Narrate as he lounges in a bed with two hot chicks for Christsakes!
One of the things I was also surprised at was the lack of tactics in the first episode. I’d think the show would want to hit the ground running. Mystery’s intro to his usual seminars is so captivating, I would have liked to have seen him go through his history and talking about his own story. I’m sure we’ll get more tactics as the show goes on, but still, a little more instruction would have been good.
Finally – J-Dog’s hair. Dude, I love ya, but what’s up with the black stripes? =)
The Ugly:
Well, the fact that the show is on Monday Nights isn’t the best. That, and the fact that it’s on during the summer are working against it. The show seems to oscillate between brilliant TV and contrived reality smut. Maybe it’s just the fact that it’s the first episode and the show has yet to find it’s stride. I’m still hopefull that the show will become great as we get more into it.
However, I still have the nagging feeling that we’re going to see a lot of guys leave this show without really seeing any improvement, and in my opinion, that will reflect poorly on Mystery as a teacher. Int he previews, it looked like he was being down right mean to some of the guys he was kicking off, which I’m sure doesn’t help their self esteem any.
If the show does get picked up for another season, I’d like to see it take a more positive turn. I mean, it’s great to go vacation in a mansion, learn to pick up chicks, and possibly win $50K, but shouldn’t the ultimate reward be feeling great about yourself and overcoming an irrational fear of women? It seems to me like that journey would be just as dramatic as seeing who gets kicked off next week – which is done on EVERY reality show out there.
So there you go, my final thoughts on the Pickup Artist:
Enjoyable and fun, interesting, but could be even better than it is.
So what did you guys think? Let me know!

Misteri Tulisan Yesus di Pasir: Rahasia Tersembunyi dalam Kitab Suci
Dalam tradisi Kristen, salah satu momen paling misterius adalah ketika Yesus menulis di pasir saat menghadapi seorang perempuan yang tertangkap berzina. Apa sebenarnya yang ditulisnya?
Jejak Ilahi dalam Tulisan
Merujuk pada Kitab Keluaran, Allah sendiri pernah menulis dengan jari-Nya di atas batu. Yesus, sebagai inkarnasi Ilahi, tampaknya mengulang tindakan sakral ini.
Hipotesis Tulisan Rahasia
Beberapa sarjana menafsirkan bahwa Yesus mungkin menulis:
- Nama-nama para penuduh
- Daftar dosa mereka
- Ayat-ayat hukum yang mereka langgar
Makna Tersembunyi
Tindakan menulis di pasir bukan sekadar gerakan acak, tetapi memiliki signifikansi teologis mendalam. Yesus secara simbolis mengungkapkan kebenaran tersembunyi tentang kemanusiaan.
Kesimpulan
Meskipun isi tulisan tetap menjadi misteri, tindakan Yesus menunjukkan kebijaksanaan yang melampaui pemahaman manusia.

토토사이트 커뮤니티: 안전한 베팅을 위한 길잡이
토토사이트 커뮤니티는 스포츠 베팅을 즐기는 사람들에게 단순한 정보 공유의 장을 넘어, 안전한 배팅 환경을 조성하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이곳에서는 초보자부터 전문가까지 다양한 사람들이 모여 베팅 전략을 논의하고, 신뢰할 수 있는 토토사이트를 추천하며, 먹튀 사고를 예방하기 위한 정보를 공유합니다. 특히, 사설 토토사이트의 위험성을 알리고, 이를 피할 수 있는 방법을 제시함으로써 사용자들이 더 안전하게 베팅을 즐길 수 있도록 돕습니다.
사설 토토사이트의 숨겨진 위험
사설 토토사이트는 정부의 규제를 받지 않기 때문에 다양한 문제를 일으킬 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 공정하지 않은 배당률, 과장된 광고, 개인정보 유출 등이 대표적인 문제점입니다. 또한, 사설 토토사이트는 법적 문제로 인해 갑자기 사라지는 경우가 많아 사용자들이 금전적 손실을 입을 위험이 큽니다. 이런 이유로, 토토 커뮤니티에서는 사설 토토사이트보다는 규제를 받는 공식 사이트를 이용할 것을 권장합니다.
토토 커뮤니티가 제공하는 가치
토토 커뮤니티는 단순히 정보를 나누는 공간이 아니라, 사용자들이 안전하게 베팅할 수 있도록 돕는 네트워크입니다. 예를 들어, 새로운 토토사이트가 등장했을 때 커뮤니티 멤버들은 해당 사이트의 운영 주체, 결제 시스템, 사용자 리뷰 등을 꼼꼼히 검토합니다. 이를 통해 먹튀 사고를 미리 방지하고, 신뢰할 수 있는 사이트만을 추천합니다. 또한, 문제가 발생했을 때는 보증 사이트를 통해 사용자들이 손실을 최소화할 수 있도록 돕습니다.
어떻게 신뢰할 수 있는 토토사이트를 찾을까?
토토 커뮤니티에서는 신뢰할 수 있는 토토사이트를 찾기 위해 몇 가지 중요한 기준을 제시합니다. 먼저, 사이트의 운영 주체가 명확한지 확인하는 것이 중요합니다. 정부나 공인된 기관에서 관리하는 사이트라면 신뢰할 수 있습니다. 또한, 다른 사용자들의 리뷰를 참고하여 사이트의 신뢰성을 판단할 수 있습니다. 긍정적인 평가가 많고, 문제가 거의 없는 사이트라면 안전하게 이용할 수 있습니다.
결제 시스템도 중요한 확인 요소 중 하나입니다. 신용카드, 전자지갑 등 다양한 결제 방법을 지원하고, SSL 암호화를 통해 금융 정보를 보호하는 사이트라면 더욱 신뢰할 수 있습니다. 마지막으로, 온라인 커뮤니티나 포럼에서 해당 사이트에 대한 평판을 확인하는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 다른 사용자들이 어떻게 평가하는지, 문제가 없는지 꼼꼼히 살펴보는 것이 중요합니다.
토토 커뮤니티의 보증 사이트
토토 커뮤니티에서는 먹튀 사고를 예방하기 위해 보증 사이트를 추천합니다. 이러한 사이트는 사용자들의 개인정보와 금융 정보를 보호하며, 문제가 발생했을 때 빠르게 해결할 수 있는 시스템을 갖추고 있습니다. 보증 사이트를 이용하면 안전하게 베팅을 즐길 수 있으며, 만약 문제가 생기더라도 커뮤니티의 도움을 받아 해결할 수 있습니다.
마무리
토토사이트 커뮤니티는 스포츠 베팅을 즐기는 사람들에게 안전하고 신뢰할 수 있는 정보를 제공하는 중요한 공간입니다. 사설 토토사이트의 위험성을 인지하고, 신뢰할 수 있는 사이트를 선택하는 것이 무엇보다 중요합니다. 토토 커뮤니티의 정보를 참고하여 안전한 베팅 환경을 조성하고, 스포츠 베팅을 더욱 즐겁게 즐기시길 바랍니다. 항상 책임감 있게 베팅에 임하는 것도 잊지 마세요!
