Ok, now that the show is over we have some time to reflect. The best man won. We all know Simeon had an edge over Matt. What I thought was interesting was that Matt wasn’t too far behind Simeon in the challenges. The final challenge I think Matt should have taken his girl to the bed instead of trying to kiss her by calling her beautiful right when she got in the room. He did complete the task, but Simeon handled the test with precision.

Precision is a key in becoming a better pickup artist. Why? Well, you handle the challenges in style. Did you see how relaxed and confident Simeon was in set? Matt will be a great pick up artist, I think. He just has a few tweaks to fix and once he does fix them he will be strong.

What did you guys think of the show? I liked it, but I think the show was a little too glamorized for TV. The lessons were only described in short detail- maybe 5 minutes. I know this is not a pick up review show, but for some who don’t know the material it can be confusing for them. I think more time going over the lessons in better detail for the world to see will be instrumental in developing people’s understanding of what pick up really is.

I thought the challenges were well planned, but I didn’t like how they stuck to the one central area in Arizona. I want to see the show expand to where the guys are gaming in other cities across America. One of the things I like about pick up, is the fact that it is still relatively new.

This means that things will continue to change. My specialization is in geographical gaming. Basically, developing my game in different continents. This will help ensure that the Mystery Method and whatever other materials are applied. Not only that, but I will be developing techniques specific for that region. Pickup is different from country to country. In Korea, the kino escalation process is different than the United States. The United States is different than gaming down in South America.

Mystery has helped revolutionize pick up to an art form. Now, let’s see what is in store for the future. What I would like to see in The Pickup Artist 3: different city locations, more detail on the lessons, and Mystery explaining to the viewers more about the pick up community.

It’s down to the final two Matt and Simeon.

Reward Challenge:

Objective for challenge- they have to read nonverbal keys to kiss as many girls as possible with speed and precision. The challenge is a race against time. Mystery doesn’t reveal the reward just yet.

The venue is called Suede. Simeon goes right into set with the movie opener. He does a good job sexualizing the interaction right away. Matt goes into another set. He negs the target and she asks for his name. Simeon goes into another set with the movie opener and looks at her hand and tells her it is interesting. He asks to borrow the friend and pulls her away.

Matt hops into another set. He moves a two set into a sit down location. Simeon is conversing with his target. Matt’s target gets pulled away. Will he switch targets? Simeon does the trust test with his target. Matt does the trust test to. Simeon pulls into his target and k-closes. Matt pulls in a few seconds later.
They k close their targets within 15 minutes.

Simeon wins because he k-closed quicker.

Field Test:

To isolate a perfect 10 back into the bedroom. Simeon gets the master bedroom for winning the reward challenge. Mystery says you will use more negs with 10′s. It is a different type of game than running it to an ordinary girl. Attraction, Comfort, and Seduction are the different processes they will take while running game on the perfect 10′s.

The guys will be going to the furniture store to dress up their rooms. Matt uses a globe for his conversation piece.

The prize for winning the competition will be: $50,000, joining Mystery’s team, and the red medallion. The people invited to the party are friends of Mystery. The game plan is to bring the girl into the room then leave then have her come back in later having her used to being in the room.

The Challenge:

Matt opens a set and ejects. Simeon looks at ease and comfortable into set. He brings Simeon into the set and DHV’s his boy. Simeon is giving and getting a massage and guesses if his target is from NYC. He’s using a lot of Cf’s lines in his set. He gives them a tour of the place, and brings two targets into his room.

Matt isolates his targets. Simeon already kisses one of his targets, but the window is closes. He tries to get a 3 way make out and pulls the set back outside. Matt is back into the set. He gives his target a back hug. Matt is telling stories to his targets. The window to sexualize went out the door.

Simeon goes into another set. He isolates the single set back into his room. Mystery says he is touching her too much. Matt is befriending his targets friend. The Asian girl is into him he is wondering if Matt can pull the trigger.

Simeon pulls back into the room again and he throws his hat on her. Simeon K-closes his target. Matt pulls his target away and into the bedroom. He K-closes his target once in the bedroom.

Elimination:

The medallion given away will be the red medallion one which is the final medallion to become a pick up artist.
Mystery critique’s Simeon’s game about holding his hand on the blonde HB, but he saw the pick up mindset in him.

He saw Matt with a two set and able to stack forward. He tells Matt that he can do more. He needs to sexualize it more.

He asks them why they should be the pick up artist? Simeon feels like has improved tremendously, Matt says he has stepped out of his comfort zone and he has been able to break through the challenges.

The Winner:

Simeon is the pick up artist. He has won it all!

Simeon starts off first working with Ryan. Greg is working with Darrick, and Greg is working with Chuck.

The guys go to the clothing store to have a makeover. Simeon gives his student the “rockstar” look. Greg and his student try on everything. Matt wants his student to become more comfortable.

The next spot is a hair saloon. Chuck is reluctant to lose the beard. Ryan gets a lip piercing and has his hair dyed.

Now, the teachers teach the students the materials like opening. Matt gives Chuck some lessons in storytelling. Matt feels really nervous about the field test. Darrick and Greg spend a lot of time practicing the material together. Simeon teaches Ryan about isolation.

Field Test:

The newbie who does the best job will win the field test for his teacher. Darrick goes in first and passes up a set. Greg comes in to help Darrick out. He tells him to have confidence which Matador says is not a good idea.

He opens a set uses a false time constraint and doesn’t stack forward. He then stands around the venue.

Chuck goes into set next. The first thing they comment on is his beard. Matt goes in to give Chuck some advice. He tells him to be happy and enjoy himself. He opens a 4 set. He doesn’t kino the set but then gets invited back into set. He gets a good amount of ioi’s.He uses a DLV about not knowing the area. He didn’t pick a target.

Ryan opens a tan hottie and asks for her hand too soon. He comes in as too needy in the set. Simeon comes in and gives him some advice on leaning in and not engaging the guys in set more. He opens the next set with a movie line opener.  He asks them how they know each other. Turns out they work together. He ends up number closing the set.

Field Test Winner: Simeon

Mystery says that Simeon did a good job. His student clearly did the best job.

Elimination:

The medallion tonight is the black medallion. It is the symbol for win it’s an Ancient Germanic symbol which means joy. Mystery was looking for what they were doing as approach coaches.

Simeon- is saved from elimination and critiqued his students performance.

Greg- Mystery things his student was dealing with his approach anxiety. Mystery tells him about what to do as far as coaching with his student.

Matt- his student looked uncomfortable. He looked like he didn’t want to be there. His student didn’t see that it was life changing. Chuck needed to be pushed further.

This one was difficult for Mystery.

Greg is eliminated, but Mystery sees a lot of potential in him.

Mystery wants the guys to meet them at the grocery store. He talks about day game and to go indirect. He also tells the guys not to neg to harshly and their game will be watered down. During the day the game is more casual.

The reward challenge- is to number close at the supermarket.

Matt- he opens, but doesn’t initiate the chat and DHV. Matt begins to just walk around in a goofy way lol…

Rian- he opens a two set of UG’s. Come on can you seriously open some hotter girls man! He number closes.

Simeon- he opens the set and doesn’t even look in her direction. The next set gives him some ioi’s and doesn’t use the material to number close. Mystery says sometimes a sloppy pick up gets the job done.

Greg- he opens a set about bars in the area. He doesn’t use the material he was taught. He hits his next set with an indirect opener, but doesn’t stack forward. He could have reengaged, but didn’t.

Winner: Mystery says Greg and Matt need to pull the trigger more. Rian was smoother and wins the reward challenge. The reward is a surprise.

Lesson: the guys will learn how to work as wing men. He talks about how pick up masters use them in the field.

When you go into the set, you want to DHV your wing and never talk bad about them. You want to use an AI (accomplishment introduction) about your wings real world DHV spikes. Matador uses the example of DHV’ing Mystery about him writing a book and introducing him to the set.

The guys begin to think of their AI’s. Mystery talks about handling obstacles and wings are good at helping with them. Then you will want to isolate then kino escalate and make out with their target.

Rian gets to choose a wingman. The team that wins will be safe from elimination. Rian goes with Greg as his wingman.

They go over the material with Mystery and Matador in pairs. Simeon and Matt look like they work well together. The main thing is trust over the field test.

Field Test:

The goal is to achieve physical contact with the target and isolate then kino escalate to make out.

The venue is Axis. Rian will initiate then Greg will come in that’s their plan. Rian opens a three set. Greg and Rian use the code language and the sets not ready so Greg leaves. Rian continues to stack forward with the set.

He introduces the set. They invite them over to the table. Greg isolates his target and the others join. Rian has to keep the others occupied. Greg should kino more. Rian does the hand touching to kino escalation and creates a jealousy plotline with his target. Rian needs to pull the trigger.

Greg gives his target the trust test to escalate the kino and goes in for the make out close. He continues making out. Props Greg.

Rian uses the kiss gambit. He asks who’s the better kisser. He goes for a quick kiss on one of the targets.  Rian doesn’t pull the trigger….

Simeon goes into the set with high energy and brings Matt into the set. They move the set and hand hold the targets. Simeon gives his target his hat. Matt is not escalating the kino, but Simeon is. Simeon locks in and goes for the make out close.

Matt needs to shift into his set and Simeon talks him up. Simeon leaves the set, but Matt just goes right in for the make out close. That was a swift move. You have to give Simeon props on boosting up his wingman. That is what pick up is all about!

Mystery is very happy about everyones improvements. Greg didn’t help Rian when he could have had a 3 way make out. Matt and Simeon are the winners. Greg and Rian are under possible elimination.

Beginning initiate the chat in a non threatening way and to up the DHV spikes in a quick way and to throw the negs in there. The guys practice negs on Tara. A neg should have a reaction of laughter. Simeon is called out for his facial expressions.

Field Test: The guys have to go to the Diane Swim wear Bikini fashion show and reception. The guys have to go out and get as many numbers as they can. The guys will have to approach swimsuit models.

Greg- is looking for his first set. He doesn’t open his first set and doesn’t use the material. He loses the set.

Rian- he does a 360 and he gets an IOI from a target. He reengages his target. He is conveying the body language of an Alpha male. Mystery says from him to ask the friend if he can pull her away from the friends. He loses his window of opportunity.

Matt- he has AA and eventually musters the courage to approach. Tara comes into the set and backs him up. Tara ejects the set. Matt hits her with an opener he doesn’t lock into the set. He doesn’t number close and doesn’t pull the trigger.

Lesson: Kino escalation

Kinesthetic touch. You need to get the girl comfortable hugging before kissing. Mystery will discuss the different levels.

Kino escalation is a series of compliance tests-used to gauge interest. Put your hands out and she puts out her hands too she complies. You have to calibrate to womens’ comfort level- to read verbal and nonverbal responses. To know not to go for a kiss if she’s not ready.

Matt- Mystery tells him to choose the hottest set and to work it backwards. He hooks the set and he’s having fun with them.

Mystery tells him to neg the target. He bounces his set. Matt is surrounded around HB’s because his target had a bunch of friends. He number closes but Mystery said he should have asked if he could borrow her friend.

Lesson:

Mystery talks about being aware. The lesson is body language. Kosmo is introduced into the episode. If you don’t remember, he won last seasons show. He is there to help the guys practice body language.

Mystery says with the skills they are taught they will be able to communicate with a woman thru body language. Kosmo goes over the distance when opening the set. Mystery goes over the should using the FTC.

Matador talks about how talking too fast is bad and fidgety hand movements. Simeon talks with his hands and says it might set off a nervous vibe. Simeon is leaning in too much.

Simeon talks to Kosmo about his nervousness. Kosmo asks him what he’s like inside. Kosmo tells Simeon he needs to relax.

Field Test:

Tonight Mystery will be looking at how well guys use their body language to communicate with a woman.

Brian- he is happy warm playful and non threatening. He uses his FTC’s nicely. He spins his targets. Matador ays he has a good emotional state.

Rian- Mystery says he needs to smile more in set. He keeps the entire set engages them and almost does a bounce. He should have bounced the group and not the one target fat chick.

Todd- Matador says he throws in a non verbal time constraint by the movements of his body. He engages the while group. Mystery likes his body language which is calm, cool, and collective. He number and email closes.

Matt- he gets opened and is not speaking over the shoulder. His set did not go well.

Simeon- He uses a movie line opener. Mystery says his energy levels are too high and he is too animated. He tries to bounce to the VIP area and his target wasn’t keen. He doesn’t talk over the shoulder in his set.

Karl- he didn’t engage the entire set. He initiated it, but did not reach their spirits….

Greg- he gets an IOI and engages a good two set. He uses good FTC body language and bounces a two set to his VIP area. He needs to lean back so she leans back to him. He gets a number close. Mystery says now that is a pick up artist.

Field Test Winner:

The medallions symbolize achievement. The yellow medallion will be awarded which means cleansing.
Greg gets his medallion and chooses Matt and Brian to be saved from elimination. He chooses Matt because he has a lot of potential. He chooses Brian because he lifts everyone up.

Mystery tells Matt he was planning on eliminating him. He says that Matt is incredibly fortunate and he will need to see some big changes for him to stay.

Todd- Mystery said he displayed good body language and remained cool, calm, and collective.

The last 3 displayed weaknesses.

Simeon- he needs to keep sight of his goals, but he needs to step up his game.

There is one medallion and Karl and Rian are left. He wasn’t impressed with either of their performances. Mystery says that Rian was unable to bounce his target and Karl got stuck on a risky opener and couldn’t lock in.

He asks why Rian should stay? He feels like he has a lot of learning to do.

Karl? He feels he has made improvements and should keep going.

Who is the pick up artist in them? Karl is eliminated.

My Opinions:

I think Greg was playing the game to his advantage by keeping Matt on his side. His intentions are clearly to win. I don’t know about the whole choosing a wing if you win because it can have people who should have been eliminated stay on. I don’t think that is fair to the other contestants.

Indirect opener- this is when you go in with an indirect line. For newbies, this is much easier because it’s not direct. There is less of a chance you get blown out of set with an indirect opener.

Example:

1. “Did you guys see the fight outside?”
2. “Who lies more men or women?”

The second topic they went over was using a false time constraint.

False Time Constraint- you want to let the targets know they your a busy guy and not desperate for their attention. Throwing the FTC out there is a good way of showing the targets that you are the prize. What it lets them know is you have other plans and you are a busy guy. They will also listen to you more because of this.

Examples:

1. “Listen, it was nice talking to you, but I have to get back to my friends.”
2. “I only have a few minutes before I have to go.” Then you can stack forward from there

The last thing that was briefly mentioned were IOI’s. An IOI is an indicator of interest. This is when your target asks you questions like

1. “What is your name?”
2. “Where are you from?”

Also, reverse kino can be an IOI. For example, she kinos. (flirts with you)

If you are holding her hand, and she squeezes it back that is an IOI too. You want to be aware of IOI’s out on the field because it will help you in progressing the sarge.

WARNING SPOILERS INCLUDED

Join me as I review Episode 2 of the Pick up Artist.

Recap of last episode:The guys worked on their avatar and Alex was eliminated

Episode 2:The guys will be working on approach

Rian talks about how he thought it was him and the other guys think they were going to get cut too.The guys meet at an Italian Club.Mystery says the “look” is only the first step and the guys exude nervousness approaching women.

Reward Challenge: is to approach the women and make conversation with them. The one who does well wins and gets an accessory from Mystery’s secret selection. There are a bunch of old women playing bingo haha. They will have to approach old women.

The guys get at work and Todd goes in right away. Matt did a good job and really engages the group of older women. Rian didn’t do a bad job either. Kevin bores his group and does not engage them very well. Greg, talks about his hair which I thought was not needed. Brian, is just too goofy talking to the old ladies. I just want to laugh at that fool. He even tells them that they stink.

Mystery joins the group and has a bingo card with all 8 of the students. HE has the old women select their favorite student. It was a landslide victory- Matt won it. I thought he did the best, so I would have to agree with their decision.

First Lesson: the first field test is tonight. They have to learn and approach a set using an indirect opener.

Examples

Mystery:“Hey did you guys see the fight outside.”

Mystery: “Who lies more men or women?”

Mystery wants the guys to open and get a hook point. To get them to do one is to do a FTC a false time constraint.

Example: “I can only stay a second I have my friends here.”This means to position your body like you might leave while in set. He shows the guys correct ways of standing. Mystery has the guys work on their openers and their challenge will be to approach women at the club. The guys split into groups to do opening exercises. Mystery explains the [B]neg[/B]-which is a disqualifier. It should create laughter. Brians negs are not good at all!

Mystery shows Matt his prop, and how he uses it in set. The guys practice then get ready to get on the field.Mystery will be looking at how they approach and how they use the material effectively. The goal is to open and use the hook point. Matt brings his accessory.

The venue they hit is called Axis. Matt is the first one to go and he doesn’t use the scarf nor stack forward. He didn’t open the set near the bar. Matt is opened and uses his new accessory on his target and he pulls it away. The friend is pulled away.

Field Test:

Todd goes to work with an indirect opener. He smiles and he threw his first neg and a false time constraint. He stays calm, cool, and collective. She gave him an IOI- indicator of interest. The girls gives him a drink. Todd hit the objective.

Greg goes into set and uses Andy **** as his opener and his target asks the point of the story. He opens a two set on tattoo and girls. He is calm and doesn’t engage both. The friend pulls away. You lose the friend you lose the set.

Rian goes in. He looks better and engages everybody. He opens a 4 set and talks to the guy in the set. He uses a false time constraint and leaves the set. He gets blown out of one set, but continues to stack forward on others.

Simeon goes in. He has great energy and is told to f** off by a guy. He tries to open and the other girl is a b***. Mystery says he has too high of energy and he opens a 5 set. Tara says there are some b*** in the club. Damn Simeon you got the worst of it brother!

Karl goes in. He uses the spells opener and Matador says he is talking too fast. He just leaves the set abruptly and talks too himself. He is standing around the venue and doesn’t really go forward from there.

Brian goes in. He opens a set and just talks to the girls. He says he likes “pickle juice.” He uses the false time constraint and leaves the set. He opens another and engages everyone this time. The crew says he’s got a good vibe. He spins his target and lifts her up. Not bad on the kino. A+ from Matador.

Kevin goes in. He gets at it real quick. Tara and Mystery that he is cursing to much and not introducing the group. He uses the opener way too much. Tara says he has an air of desperation. Not a good performance from him.

Field Test Winner:

Mystery greets the guys. He says that someone did a really good job and the winner is Brian. He gets to choose two guys as his wingman to save them from elimination also.

The guys are nervous about elimination. Brian has a tough time deciding who he will pick and ends up throwing up over it and crying.

Elimination:

Mystery greets the guys and explains the medallions. They are all a level of advancement. The white medallion meaning rebirth. Brian saves Todd and Greg. He compliments Todd and tells Greg he still needs a lot of work.

Mystery’s Opinions

“Rian approached too many sets, Karl went in strong and he flipped out and didn’t recover, Simeon had too much energy and took things too far scaring the women, Matt didn’t take advantage of his accessory, Kevin cursed too much and turned the women off. He wasn’t aware of the discomfort he was creating.”

Rian is safe for opening the six set. Matt got saved from the save he got from the HB. He says it was a tough decision because nothing impressed him. Simeon is saved, but Mystery says he has to take control of his energy. He asks Tara about Karl and she says he can go a long way and Matador says that Kevin plowed too much. Mystery goes with his gut and cuts Kevin for his cursing and repetitive openers. Kevin is told to go.It signs off with clips of Kevin and what he has felt about his time on the show which was priceless.

My opinions:

This was a good episode. I don’t know if I agree so much with using the old ladies in the first challenge, but I guess it served a purpose to see how the guys engaged the groups. I also liked the first lesson because I think people watching the show can take a lot from it. Mystery used some examples for opening, negs, and FTC’s. He got right to the point. It was a tough decision for Mystery at the end, but I felt that Kevin should have gotten cut too.

I would like to see more time on the lessons. I know that the show is on a set time, but I think more examples should be provided and overview as well. I think the material ran rather loosely. It does hit the gist, but that’s all it hits.

The Pickup Artist 2

The show begins highlighting last season. If your knew to the show, Kosmo won it last season. He is touring around the world with Mystery and his crew. He was crowned a  “Master Pick Up Artist.”

It begins introducing Season 2. Mystery brought back his wing Matador and his wing woman Tara.The guys were all outside and it showed them come back into the house. From the shot of the place, it looked like somewhere in Arizona. My guess near Arizona State or University of Arizona.

It goes into an introduction of the guys. Todd stayed with his girl after she cheated on him. Rian is a 28 year old virgin.  Simeon is 27 years old and lived on a boat. Karl is 21 working at radio shack and plays the guitar. He has only been with one girl and she cheated on him and he still stayed with her for three months… Matt thinks he’s Austin Powers with the ladies. Greg hasn’t slept with a girl for 9 years and feels nervous around women. Brian has never kissed a girl and he’s pretty goofy.  Kevin is 21 and from Ann Arbor, Michigan. He has been shot down over and over.Alex is from Oklahoma and a janitor. He is a 22 year old virgin living at home.

The guys all get on the bus and are pretty nervous about meeting Mystery. Mystery, Tara, and Matador meet the guys outside and introduce themselves. Simeon feels like everything is going to change, and Matador likes to help change people’s lives.

This time around Mystery is giving away a check of 50,000 dollars and the title of “Pick up Artist.”Mystery gives the guys their first task. They must go to the club behind them and start meeting all the hotties that are there.

The hidden cameras are ready to go and Kevin is the first one to show. He goes straight into a set and talks about something being “deep.” He gets blown out of set. Matt is lingering around and opens a set about a drink. After the opener, he kind of stalls out. Todd, walks around and asks if he can ask a question. I don’t think that was a smart move. Greg, asks a question about the weather to a HB. He puts the place the HB is living in down and leaves the set. Not a good move haha….Todd asks the HB’s if they have been there before and smiles. He opens the two set and the obstacle is turned off. She turns her back to him ahhhh…. Simeon is the annoying creepy guy in set.

He makes a comment about them being the fun crowd but never has anything to stack from it,Rian the 28 year old virgin needs a makeover. He walks around and opens a set by her sitting alone.He doesn’t stack from that and ends up walking away. Karl is blasting through sets and orders a drink instead of opening the two set right next to them. He finally opens but doesn’t lock in. Alex thinks he’s peacocking with his gold chain and has a girl comment on it and doesn’t say anything about it when she does.

He gives the guys props on going in without a game plan. Mystery switches it up and then goes out on the field himself and has the guys watch. Matador says some girl is trying to touch him then introduces himself in set. He stacks forward unlike the other guys.Matador makes friends with the guys in the club and bounces his targets around the venue. Matador K closes his target with the “Eskimo kisses.’ The guys are looking back astonished at what they just saw. Mystery was running his sets with a lot of kino. I like Matador’s style.

The next day Mystery works on the guys look. He asks the guys to create their own avatar. They get to choose their clothes from the clothing store. Tara,Matador, and Mystery help the guys out with their avatar.
Rian has some serious issues and even had trouble finding clothes. He was pretty nervous and so far looks to be the weak link of the group. Tara comforts him afterwards.One of the guys goes to the dentist to get his teeth fixed and the guys get a professional haircut.They also get tans and waxing. I think it’s good their working on the avatar immediately. I think the avatar can really help your game!

Matador and Tara come over to the house to celebrate the guys new look. They ask the guys questions about their look and give them their feed as well. All of the guys got compliments on their new looks. Mystery shows up and decides that one of the guys is not ready and one of them will be going home. He didn’t see the spark in one of the guys and when he got the IOI from the girl he didn’t do anything. Alex with the copper chain was cut. It cuts to future episodes during the season. Looks like it’s a good season to watch.

My opinions

I thought the first episode was pretty good. I thought that Rian was going to get cut, but Alex ended up getting cut. I think both of them were pretty weak links, but I think Rian should have gotten cut first. I mean the guy had trouble trying to find clothes lol….

I liked how Mystery and Matador went out onto the field and showed the guys what’s up. I really think they can take in a lot from watching them on the field. Adding in Tara as the wing woman,was a good thing. What this does is gives the guys an “insider perspective” into what an HB is thinking.She tells the guys how it is so thats definitely a good thing for them.

One thing to note, I hope that they don’t have any hired actors in the clubs like last season. We all heard that last season there were actors in different episodes in the venues. If they want the guys to progress, they need to create a “natural” environment for them to interact in. Look forward to checking out the rest of the episodes. Stay continued as I review the next 7 episodes of Season 2.
