Dear Mystery,
How does one apply to be on The Pickup Artist?
Thank you,
Elliott
u r soo hot???? can i pick u up baby?? r u single??
Dear Mystery,
Have you ever thought about doing a reunion show?
Hi Mystery!
I am a 26 years old guy from Sweden. I have never had a girlfriend. I want to be a great pickup artist. I am still studying but I can come to USA/Canada for changing my life ( to become a pickup artist). I just got to know about you and so far i understand is that you are the best.
How can I get your live teaching? I would love to participate in the ” The pickup artist” programme…any how. It’s my dream, to be honest.
I know you are the best and so you are very busy.
I hope you would write me about it.
It’s pleasure to know about you.

As a woman I am curious to know when you will do a Pick-Up Artist reality show for women. I get it it might be harder for guys to mingle in clubs,etc but I really am not impressed. What would impress me is you taking women in the same situation and teaching them. So how about it,,,,,,The Pick-Up Artist 3 Women :)
What is the minimum age a girl has to be for you to try to pick her up?
Dear Mystery,
I just wanted to give you a shout out and show my appreciation for your show. If it wasn’t for you and your crew, I wouldn’t be working this one set that I am. And let me tell you the kino is going in my favor. She was giving me a lot of IOI so I asked her if she wanted to get together one day and wouldn’t you know we ended up at her Condo. I noticed it was getting late and that before the kino would escalate we would need another date. So I saw that your show was on VH1 at 10pm and asked her if she wanted to watch. She said yes. Then it was over at eleven and it was raining really hard and conditions outside were terrible so I asked if I could spend the night instead of driving home. She said “Okay”. That was in September and I haven’t been home since. (Being unemployed has its perks!) Thanks, Man and thank Matador and Tara for me too. And remember “No one puts Baby in the corner.”
Ok, I think Mystery is a pretty cool guy, and I actually love this show, very entertaining. My question is what makes this guy the focus of a TV show called “Pick Up Artist”? I mean he’s a decient lookin guy, according to my female friends who watch with me, and he has a good friendly personality, also confidence is a must, but too much bro. The teaching skills are ok, but I have to say very obvious. No master of sociology for sure. As for those wondering about all the off the wall wardrobe, that’s grade A building a charachter, but only happens when someone is pretty desperate for attention. Whatever works works, and not everyone is build like those good ole’ American Boys like they used to be. I am not trying to be a hater by any means, I congradulate Mystery on his success, but am just amused with the fact that Vh1 chose him. Maybe it’s the fact that he has succesfully transformed his self with overconfidence, and those attention getting Dennis Rodman charachter traits that he was chosen. That would explain his ability to relate to the guys on the show I guess. I am happily in a long term relationship myself now, but game vs. game would have Mystery sitting the bench in any socail “Pick Up” scenario. Sorry, just the truth.
Dear Mystery,
How do you differentiate between bragging and DHVing?
Hey Sexy,
Do you have any tips for women. For instance how can we open and keep a converstation going, dhv, and most importantly play the game instead of being played.
Mystery:
I really enjoy your show and to be honest have learned from it, but I have just a few questions.
1) What happen to your other wing man from season one?
2) Is Kosmo like a franchise part of your show?
3) Why do we not get to see what happen to previous potential POAs on the show?
4) Out of both seasons why do we not get to see the guys bring the girls back to the crib and kick it a little bit? This may even have value for elimination contest?
5) Finally! Please tell me that lip stick tat on your neck is not permanent?
I was wondering how I could get in touch with Greg?
Dear Mystery:
Your method works wonders on women, but what if a girl is more into you than you are her? You have to come across women who want more than just a one night fling, right? How do you cut ties with women you aren’t particularly interested in?
You, Mr, are hot. :)
This is the first season I’ve watched and I’m really glad you have Tara there. I love the female perspective. I, like you, get excited when the guys make contact with a woman. One thing, they really need a good long list of opening come-ons though. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” got to be a little eye-rolling. You should have some kind of contest for next season and have viewers submit their favorite pick-up/opening lines for the guys to try.
Also, how about giving the guys some stripper lessons?
Or how about etiquette lessons, hilarity ensues.
Put them at a 40% off sale at Macys and see what they can do.
Have them work the counter at a beauty supply store, awash in women all day long.
Just some ideas.
say u are in a club and it is packed and the women u have as your main targets are the bartenders and the shot girls…so my question is being a busy night how would u go about talking to them??
ok im not out of school yet and i don’t go to clubs so how can you go about getting girls when your still in school? I want to be able to create that situation where someone invites me to some party or just to hang out,but i don’t want to be the complete center of all atttention i just want to be that guy that goes to all the parties and knows all the fun, cool people and gets invited everywhere. I don’t have a problem with going up to girls i have the problem once im there, i don’t know what to say and im afraid of those wierd silences. I would really love some advice on how you got started with all this and maybe a few ways to get the ice broken.
how tall are you and are you dating any one? (luv that canadian accent ;-)
Hi Mystery,
Big fan of your show, i missed season one but have watched all the episodes of season 2! i wanted to know where you buy your accessories from. especially the one on the last episode the necklace w/ the heart on it!
Thanks!
Ray
My question is: You say you’ve instructed thousands of men – where are they all? Even if a man has the balls to come up to me in a club, he’ll usually wuss out and totally drop the ball. Where are the manly men? If a guy like Mystery approached me in a club, I would have no defense against his confidence. As it stands, I hate to be approached by little boys with their tails tucked between their legs! As Anais Nin says, “It is not strong women that make men weak, it is weak men who make women overstrong.”
Dear Mystery,
This may sound strange, but do you have any tips for girls to be picked up? I am a 27 year old woman, not a perfect 10, but a solid 7. Men, both strangers and people I know, tell me I’m beautiful all the time. I’m confident, intelligent, and have a reputation for exuding positive energy, even in difficult situations. However, when we’re out, my friends get picked up one by one, while I hang out and play the cool friend. Do you have any idea how to get this “Don’t Talk to Me” tattoo off my forehead?
And also, I’m sure you’re tired of hearing this, but I am a huge fan of your show. I love how you take these poor boys with little or no social skills and turn them into confident men. And you do it without tearing them down, or being an `)&`@&)+$+&^#(! hole. You’re positive and constructive, and that is admirable.
Take care then.

I watched this second season of the pickup artist and I really think that you should do the same thing for women. I realize your point was on how to pick up women, but some women have the same problems! I am not unattractive, but back in my single days, I would go out night after night and just watch everyone else having fun in the clubs, paralyzed by the fear of rejection. I ended up meeting my fiance online. Many guys that I would meet through work or on the internet would wonder, why would I have a hard time meeting guys? But I was just like a lot of the guys on your show with little or no confidence. Anyway, my point being, why exclude women from your teachings of building confidence, which is really what it comes down to?
i’m actually still wondering what the hell kino or keeno is?! acronym? did i walk out to grab a drink when you explained it?! please clear up the confusion.
i have really bad confidence how do i boost it?
Hello Mystery,
I really like this girl but cant even talk to her because i have such bad confidence do you know ways to boost my confidence?
Hey sweetie! Met u last night & was just wondering if you had a Myspace? lol. I would like to keep in touch somehow it would be nice =) Hope to hear from you soon, Ciao! ;*)
Mystery,
I was wondering where the clothes came from that Simeon and Matt wear? What are some good stores that you have found to buy the type of clothes that you yourself wear and that are featured on the pickup artist? Thanks a million for taking the time to read this.
“Mystery” and his posse all look like a bunch of cheesy douchebags who got rejected too many times. This is just game playing and doesn’t lead to real relationships. These are tricks to get a girl (not woman) to laugh with you instead of at you. The problem is, if you get some easy, drunk chick to go home with you, she has to get to know you in order to have a relationship and you will get dumped at that point anyway. This show and these people are RIDICULOUS!
What happens when you meet someone who doesn’t know who you are and then you wonder where they went. LOL XOXO
We are fans of the show with one abiding question: When are you going to drop the “Baby in the Corner” opener? It is a bone-chilling flaw in an otherwise tight Game. Do your magic justice and bury it before Season 3.
Hello,
I know you are a author of some books, but would like to know what books have you wrote on dating or attration? and were can i find them? so i can buy them..
thank you !!
I can open conversation easely with women and neither am I nervus around women, but my problem is what to say. I can say hello, who are you, what are you doing etc. However I dont know any good Gambits, IOI etc. My dialoge shows that Im a good friend but not any more then that.What should I do to improve?
Hay Mystery

mklangel.
Dear Mystery
What do we talk to girls about? i’ve got em lined up but talk about the same old (*(#&~%_)$+`+^~*
The easiest opener I have ever used is saying hi with a smile and confidence. It works almost every time. It’s easy…
Hey Mystery!
First of all shameless flattery, dude your a legend and you’ve changed my life, it gave me inspiration to take control of my life and go after the things I always wanted. I’m still learning but with the limited knowledge I have now I have managed to help 7 people start to change their lives too which has the most satisfying feeling attached to it. I have got a better job, more exciting women in my life, getting more money, I go outside now on sunny days and feel like life is amazing.
Anyway shameless flattery over.
Three questions if you might indulge?
1. are you going to be visiting England any time soon so as I might be able to join a boot camp and also thank you in person for helping me to build the life I wanted.
2. in Season 1 episode 5 of the PUA, you are wearing a light coloured cowboy hat, I have found a couple that I like in the shops around here which are cool but the one your wearing there is one of the coolest I have seen around. Where did you buy that one as I would like to buy that one of one as near to it as I can.
3. I am trying to find an alter-ego for myself but after asking a number of my friends and a large amount of time pondering and deliberating I can’t think of a suitable one. My name is simon scott paolo beecham (the paolo is Sicilian). my skills are IT, guitar, I have a degree in massage, shooting (sniper level, been doing it since I was 13), basketball, ex-TGI’s _^#@!`&$!*)$`$*@ tail bartender.
Any cool name that you can think of that might suit?
Yours gratefully,
Si
i need your advice. i am in a dying relationship (me a 44 yr. old male) and in desperate need of spice. we visited a family friend (a girl)and she has a girlfriend (27 yrs. old) that has been out her house three times now. i noticed her friend really laughs at some of the things i say and has a sparkle in her eye when we look at each other. the other night i walked her to her car when she left, just told her to take care. but that night i jacked her cell phone number from my friends cell. my plan is to send her a text with the following: “Hello, it’s me [name], i secretly jacked your number from [friend's] cell. i find you beautiful and most interesting. i would like to get to know you better. would it be cool to talk/chat… if this doesn’t feel right to you i did not mean to disrespect you in any way and apologize for expressing myself truthfully. please let me know if it is ok to talk.
should i go through this? or should i call? and yes i am willing to let this get out in the open and get in trouble for it. i just want you opinion on the approach.
thnx in advance.

I am dying to meet you and i wanna know how to. what does it take to meet the key to my biggest problem??? i am completely hopeless with girls and you are a GOD when it comes to sarging. PLEASE help me i am so sick of my personality and i cant sit back and say there is time, i am 20 and i want what you have THE PUA )*^!^$$()!+#)~% le!!!!!
you give me hope :D
Mystery,
I meet this girl in one of my classes (she was sending me invitation approaches), so I started conversation that one time. After that we were emailing back and forth a lot, I wanted to take her out for coffee/dinner, she always resisted, but she was still emailing me. Finally she gave me her cell number, but she wasn’t very responsive either through texts or phone calls. We met up once (unexpectedly) in a bar where we talked for like 20 min – I feel like didn’t do a good job there. Then our contact kinda broke, now she doesn’t reply to any of the text messages and whats more, on the sidewalk she avoids me (pretends she doesn’t see me).
This story was about 3 months ago. Now I found out that we will be taking the same class, which creeps mo out. I don’t know what to do, how to behave (should I talk to her and ask what happened, or…). I still like her and would be cool to hang out with her.
If you would reply to my with few suggestions for my scenario, it would be awesome!!!
Thanks
I like when you talk about this type of stuff in your posts. Perhaps could you continue to do this?
I think this has RUINED decent guys.
