The Pick Up Artist – Episode 5 Recap: “The Crying Game”

Sorry this recap is so late. I’ll try and get the next one up in a more timely fashion.
So on this episode of The Pick Up Artist, we go "after school special" with the highly charged emotional outcomes.
The show starts off with the crew waiting to see who will return from elimination – Scott the Stutterer or the Diabolical Genius Pradeep.
I guess no one really liked Scott all that much, because when Pradeep shows up, the boys all hop up, scream, and tackle him to the floor like a drunken hot chick on prom night. The celebration ends with Big Joe smothering Pradeep on the ground with his massive man-boobies. How loving.
"I’ve never been more happy to see an Indian in my whole life," says Kosmo. "The house just wouldn’t smell the same without him."
Apparently, everyone loves Pradeep, and are glad to have him back. Big Joe says that as their family gets smaller, he has a better chance of winning. (Sorry buddy, as much as I’d root for ya, the producers have already chosen Bradey or Kosmo as the winner, that much is clear!)
Then, after the man-love party subsides, Pradeep shocks everyone by saying he plans on pulling a Spoon in the next elimination and quitting.
All the other guys are shocked. "But we just man raped you to show you our love!" they cry. "How can you possibly quit?" Gay Joe says "Pradeep is just being stupid." Is he? Or is he being… DIABOLICAL????

The Pick Up Artist – Episode 4 Recap: “Kiss, Kiss, Gang, Bang”
August 29, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Last week I stated I was really looking forward to Episode 4 of
VH1′s The Pick Up Artist, staring everyone’s favorite PUA, Mystery.
Well, I was looking forward to it… until I actually SAW episode
4. I could have gotten just as much drama watching my dirty dishes
chill in the sink. They really need to get more interesting twists
going on in the show, because they certainly aren’t teaching anybody
anything, except for the fact that virgins make lousy reality fodder.
Female announcer states that Episode 4 is all about KISSING. Yay!
Nothing is better reality TV than awkward men awkwardly kissing women
they normally would have to pay by the hour for. I can’t wait!
So the episode starts off with a recap of 45YOV getting kicked off.
The whole crew is in the green room waiting to see who could possibly
survive the elimination. Kosmo laments to the camera:
"I love Brady and I love Fred. Can’t Mystery just pick them both?"
Awww… the love for 45YOV is touching… at least until Brady walks
back in. Then the whole group stands up and cheers! No one liked the
creepy 45 year old guy who’d never had sex, apparently.
Pradeep hops up and rushes to Brady for a loving embrace. You can
almost hear him say "Thank God it’s you! If I had to smell that old
guy one more time…" as he gently rocks back and forth in Brady’s arms.
Big Joe says "When Brady came around that corner, I was so
relieved. I want that guy with me in the final three." Nice. Not
only is Big Joe displaying confidence here, but also a complete
disregard for old people. Now, there’s not a single contestant over
the age of 30! Huzzah!

Federal Porn Registry?
August 22, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Looks like the Feds are looking to create a database where all porn actors must register.
The Department of Justice wants to come up with an official list of every porn star in America – and slap stiff penalties on producers who don’t cooperate.
The new rules, proposed under the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act, would require blue-movie makers to keep photos, stage names, professional names, maiden names, aliases, nicknames and ages on file for the inspection of the department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.
"The identity of every performer is critical to determining and ensuring that no performer is a minor," according to the new proposal.
The adult film industry plans to challenge the new rule as a violation of the First Amendment, said Paul Cambria, a lawyer for Hustler and other adult film companies.
He sees it as a way to harass legitimate stag-film producers.
"If they can’t get you for obscenity, they’ll get you for violating record-keeping," he said. Such a violation would carry a five-year penalty.
I’m sure it doesn’t help that the porn industry keeps antagonizing government officials. Larry Flynt is still trying to dig up dirt on sex scandals in Washington.

Thundercat At The Playboy Mansion!
August 20, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Just a quick post to brag a little… I went to a party at the Playboy Mansion this past Friday. Man, is that place awesome! It really is just like you see it in the movies and on TV shows like Entourage. The whole Vibe is like a big outdoor strip club where you don’t have to pay for anything.
They had some actors and celebrities there, TONS of hot women (most of which ended up swimming naked in the grotto pool), an open bar, a topless DJ, and all sorts of other crazy things.
I wasn’t the only pick-up guy there from the seduction community either. I was joined by Neil Strauss, Mystery, Lovedrop, Matador, David DeAngelo, and Craig SD. It looked like Mystery also had a workshop going on during the party – though it was more about having fun than instruction.
When I first saw Mystery, he gave me a big hug. It’s been a long while since we last saw each other, and it’s always fun to hang out with Mystery again. He then introduced me to Matador, who laughed about my write-up of the Pickup Artist Episode 2. He told me he was going to convince me he wasn’t a drunk after all, lol. Matador was a cool guy. I’d never met him before that day, but he seemed very personable.
The whole VA crew rolled up in a limo, and Matador and Lovedrop brought their own girls with them to the party, who they seemed to be making out with at various points throughout the night. Neil Strauss also showed up with a date – a gorgeous former model who was a real sweetheart. David DeAngelo showed up with his girlfriend as well, who is INCREDIBLY attractive, if I do say so myself. She even ended up jumping in the pool naked at one point. 
Eventually, Craig C. physically picked Mystery up and threw him into the pool, where Mystery Lost his wallet and new iPhone. But Mystery didn’t seem to care. He took off his clothes and started swimming.
The entire night was a blast, and it was super-fun to hang out with all the PUA guys again. J-Dog even showed up at the after-party after his flight got in from Arizona, so he eventually joined the group too. The experience reminded me of the old Project Hollywood Days where everyone genuinely enjoyed hanging out and picking up together – until the RSD guys ruined it all. (grrrrrrr!)
Anyway, success seems to sit well with Mystery and his crew, and they’re just as fun as ever. Plus, now I get to tell my grandkids that their Papy partied at Hef’s place! lol.
Here are some pics from the party…
Iraqi Women Increasingly Turning To Prostitution
August 16, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Just found this article on CNN talking about how more and more Iraqi women are turning to prostitution to help feed their starving children.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — The women are too afraid and ashamed to show their faces or have their real names used. They have been driven to sell their bodies to put food on the table for their children — for as little as $8 a day.
"People shouldn’t criticize women, or talk badly about them," says 37-year-old Suha as she adjusts the light colored scarf she wears these days to avoid extremists who insist women cover themselves. "They all say we have lost our way, but they never ask why we had to take this path."
A mother of three, she wears light makeup, a gold pendant of Iraq around her neck, and an unexpected air of elegance about her.
"I don’t have money to take my kid to the doctor. I have to do anything that I can to preserve my child, because I am a mother," she says, explaining why she prostitutes herself.
Anger and frustration rise in her voice as she speaks.
"No matter what else I may be, no matter how off the path I may be, I am a mother!" Video Watch a woman describe turning to prostitution to "save my child" В»
Her clasped hands clench and unclench nervously. Suha’s husband thinks that she is cleaning houses when she goes away.
So does Karima’s family.
"At the start I was cleaning homes, but I wasn’t making much. No matter how hard I worked it just wasn’t enough," she says.
Karima, clad in all black, adds, "My husband died of lung cancer nine months ago and left me with nothing."
She has five children, ages 8 to 17. Her eldest son could work, but she’s too afraid for his life to let him go into the streets, preferring to sacrifice herself than risk her child.
She was solicited the first time when she was cleaning an office.
"They took advantage of me," she says softly. "At first I rejected it, but then I realized I have to do it."
Both Suha and Karima have clients that call them a couple times a week. Other women resort to trips to the market to find potential clients. Or they flag down vehicles.
Prostitution is a choice more and more Iraqi women are making just to survive.
Don’t Miss"It’s increasing," Suha says. "I found this ‘thing’ through my friend, and I have another friend in the same predicament as mine. Because of the circumstance, she is forced to do such things."
Violence, increased cost of living, and lack of any sort of government aid leave women like these with few other options, according to humanitarian workers.
They don’t call it the world’s oldest profession for nothing.
The Pick Up Artist – Episode 2 Recap: “There Is No Spoon.”
August 14, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
So another Monday night has come and gone, and so has another episode of The Pick Up Artist on VH1.
And boy, my mixed feelings on this show just got more mixed up!!!
So last week we saw our 8 loveable losers arrive in Austin, all excited about learning from master pickup artist Mystery who might finally be the answer to their chronic dick-dryness and crippling fear of the weaker sex. Half the episode was spent shoving them completely unprepared into a club environment to crash and burn with girls, further emotionally scarring them more than they already were.
(And who says VH1 doesn’t make great TV?)
So the beginning of this episode we get to see Alvaro, everyone’s favorite latin breakdancing boxer, crying about how he was the only one of the group who wasn’t able to approach a single girl at the Foundation Room the night before. And he has every right to be ashamed – even the stuttering guy with the pants around his chest was able to approach.
Alvero laments that maybe if he would just open his dumb mouth, good things would come out. Oddly enough, the blond dude everyone thinks is gay said the same thing (only in his MIND where no one could hear!).
But don’t worry Alvero. There’s nothing to be ashamed about. We’ve all been there before. Maybe in the future you could bypass talking to women completely and instead do something like… oh, I don’t know… breakdance! I’m sure that would solve everything! (I can see Alvero going on to teach the Breakdance Method now. "Don’t worry about talking to chicks, just bust-a-move with your mad skillz!!!)
After Alvero cried to the camera, the next morning we see our favorite "I’m Chinese!" guy, SPOON, showing off his awesome black nails. As if the top knot hairdoo wasn’t enough, our boy Spoon wants to imitate Mystery’s devil worshiping now. Of course, he used black sharpie marker to do it – way to go! Nothing says commitment like permanent ink!
Spoon says he doesn’t want to be the person he is now, the type of guy who feels horrible after getting rejected. This is pretty funny, considering he pretty much decides he IS going to be the same guy he is now come the end of the episode… but I’m getting ahead of myself.

The Bar And Club Paradox
August 14, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Okay, I got something I gotta get off my chest, and I think because of Mystery’s new reality show, it’s more important than ever.
A lot of guys in the community base all their exposure to women around bar and club sarging.
I see it all the time on message boards and emails I get from people. It’s always about rolling into a club, and using openers and routines to meet women.
But there is a problem here.
A BIG problem.
And that problem is that bars and clubs are probably the worst places to meet women and experience real SUCCESS with them.
Seriously. Sometimes you can meet great girls at a bar or club, but it takes an awful lot of work to do so, and it’s very inconsistent.
But for some reason, so many community guys have it in their heads that bars and clubs are the places to go to get chicks.
But they’re not. I think because so many workshops take place in the bar/club environment, former students and other wanna-be PUAs are thinking that they need to go to these places to get a girl.
Understand: Bars and Clubs are GREAT places to practice meeting women, but they are poor places for actually GETTING women.
And that, my friends, is the great Bar And Club Paradox. (Henceforth known as BACP – yes, I am staking a claim to my very own acronym.)
Let me tell you – if you are a shy guy, or a guy who’s inexperienced with women – then by all means, you MUST go to a bar or club to practice your skills. Nowhere else will you be able to hit so many targets in a relatively good amount of time. To me, bars and clubs are like the practice field for football. You don’t play in the stadium until the game starts.
Real bar and club pickups happen at a MUCH higher skill lever than most newbies can handle. But getting over initial fears of approaching and anxiety are best done in that environment.
However, meeting great women you can actually have relationships happens OUTSIDE the bars and clubs. And not enough guys in the community are focusing on that, in my opinion.
And when that happens, they get stuck in a rut, getting phone numbers from club girls, but nothing more. Before long they get frustrated and revert back to their old ways.
But there are so many better venues for picking up women than the bar/club scene. And you actually are able to find much more stable, non-crazy women outside of your typical bar or club.
So the moral of the BACP: Practice your skills in bars and clubs, but do not rely on them to get quality dates with women.
Meeting women outside bars and clubs gets you much better success rates. We’re talking less flakes on phone calls and dates. Better quality girls. Better experiences. And most of all – WAY more sex!
So if you’re focusing all your energy on clubs and bars, you need to step back and add in a few more venues to your pick-up arsenal.
