My opinions about PU – interview for MX magazine

December 19, 2007

This is an interview I did for MX magazine in June 07. It hasn’t been published for some reason, but it explains a lot of my opinions and ideas about pickup.

How did you become a pick-up artist?

I was always interested in becoming better with women. I had women coming in and out of my life – but there was a distinct pattern. The ones that I wasn’t attracted to were very attracted to me and wanted to continue a relationship. The ones I got with and was very attracted to – I became very needy to and lost their affection by not being a strong man.
Ever since the age of 15 I was looking for resources to get better – I physically felt like I have this hole in my chest, something prevented my happiness. But I didn’t know what to look for, even though the internet was around. I read heaps of books on how to be more romantic, and consistently ran searches one search engines on “what do women want?”. The results I got from reading mainstream literature were zero.
I read about Mystery method in an interview with him in Marie Claire magazine when I was in Thailand. I ripped the page, but completely forgot about it. When I got back home, the following situation happened. I was in a food court in a mall with a friend (after watching a movie) and this beautiful girl made eye contact with me. It was very late and the place was empty. My friend noticed my nervousness and asked if I wanted to meet her. I said I did, and asked him if “he can hook me up“. He looked at me like I was crazy. We went over to her table, my heart was beating a hundred miles an hour, and he just said “hey we’re bored. Can we sit with you?”. She and her friend (female) agreed. We spent the next 20 minutes talking, and I felt like we had something going. Then someone came to pick her up and take her home, and she and her friend left the table. I didn’t know why I didn’t ask for her phone number, but I knew I wanted to try again. The girl worked in that mall at a cafe.
A couple of days later, after some strong self motivation I went there, trying to be all cool. She was in shift and remembered me and smiled. I sat down, with my laptop (I went alone and felt I needed an excuse..) and flirted a tiny bit with her before giving her my order. For the next 15 minutes, I was nervous as hell, and relentlessly talking to my friends on MSN messenger asking them for advice on how to proceed. When I looked up – she was gone. Her shift was over. I felt like such a failure – even when I get the motivation to do this, I can’t pull it off.
I went back home and couldn’t fall asleep.
An hour into my sleep, the article about Mystery Method sprang to mind. I went to the website, downloaded some material and my eyes were opened. Seeing that I already had some experience with girls before, I could relate to eveything he said. This stuff rang true. Slowly I started reading more material, finding the seduction community forums and people I could relate to. In February 2006 I approached the first girl ever that I didn’t know in a bar. She liked me. My new life began. [Read more]
