The pick-up artist. A fake or Fraud?
masterchodon asked:
Well, my friend keeps raving about this new show he is watching called the pick-up artist, on VH1 television. I haven’t really watched this show myself, but I want to know, do any of you believe picking guy’s or girls is a field in which you can master? Is there really, perhaps, a solution to the obstacles of dating?
Hi, well from what I have read, and what I have bought, and from what I have seen in various TV shows and on line videos, there is definitely a technique or mind set that can be learned.
It is not for everyone, but if you have a keen interest in self confidence, and psychology, it can become quite a science.
The programme in question – well obviously this is a vast exaggeration of what actually happens in real life! Who would watch some average Joe walking up to average women and getting knocked back every time?
Take a look round the web. There are plenty of forums where guys go to hone their skills, learn new techniques and discuss new ideas. Men seem to want the best, and if the approach you take is not thought out and methodical, it can be very difficult to even begin to speak to a woman who you would otherwise shy away from.
My conclusion? The programme is just entertainment, but as in the forum below, there are people who take this very seriously.
