I've seen the pickup artist with that mystery guy on vh1 and thought it was a total crock. The guy looks like a d-bag from head to toe with the way he dresses and the way he carries himself. Hes ridiculously confident, yes, but i cannot see his baloney working on any of the women i know personally. Not one. We would probably stand on the side and probably dog on him the entire time, not because we are haters, but because he comes off as such a pretentious, overconfident, dumbass.
Granted, I have never read or tried any of his theories of picking up girls, just commenting based on what I saw.
