Monday, October 29, 2007 - Mystery Method

Mystery Method

The Mystery Method is a method of seduction, first popularized by Erik Von Markovik a.k.a "Mystery". The system was initially outlined in posts on the newsgroup alt.seduction.fast. Since October 2006, Mystery is no longer part of the Mystery Method's website, and he has launched his own company. Mystery is responsible for coining a lot of terminology now used in the world of seduction: such as "3 second rule", "set", "peacocking", "indicator of interest", "indicator of disinterest", "last minute resistance", "routine", "neg hits", "canned material", etc. The Mystery Method is now marketed online, via books, DVD sets, and most notably, live seminars and coaching with various instructors, including Markovik himself.

Sunday, October 14, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 -Style's Eliciting Values Routine

Style's Eliciting Values Routine

"What is the experience you most enjoy doing?" (She'll say dancing or being with family or something) Alternate wording: "If you had to pick one experience that makes life worth living...what would it be?"
"What is the ideal scenario of you doing that thing? Describe it."
"So picturing that right now, how do you feel.. .What emotions?"
"So really then, while I was asking you this, you smiled... and yeah it's kind of because I'm being a bit funny or weird or whatever... but also, it's because you could kind of feel that emotion right now, while we were talking about it... can you feel it., blah blah blah"
"So really then, even though your favorite experience is dancing, your core value is fun and excitement, and the way you feel those emotions in your body... So what's most important to you is the experience of fun and excitement, and whatever leads you to that is most important... blah blah"
"Ok, so in four minutes we've fulfilled your quest for core value. You can the now."
In other words:

1. Favorite activity
2. Description of her favorite activity in an ideal setting
3. What emotion she gets while she pictures this
4. Show her that she experienced the emotion while picturing it
5. Show her that what she really wants is not so much the activity (although it's important) but the emotional fulfillment she gets from it.
6. Now she can the happy ©

Monday, October 8, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Comfort Building Locations

Comfort Building Locations

The location in which you first meet a woman is not necessarily favorable to building comfort. The music may be too loud for lengthy comfort building dialog. The crowd may be too congested. Your romantic interest's protective friends, current boyfriend, jealous ex-boyfriend or family members may be present. You or she may also lack the immediate time to spend 7 hours building enough comfort with each other.
If the meeting location does not allow you the time nor afford a comfortable setting to sit with her and build comfort, you must move her from the meeting location to a comfort location.

All comfort building locations are marked by more quiet and secluded (though often still public) settings where you, your romantic interest and her friends (as well as your friends) may share in lengthy dialogue.

Friday, October 5, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Statements of Interest

Statements of Interest (SOI)

Similar to an indicator of interest, which is usually a subtle cue of some sort, a statement of interest is an explicit verbal statement that makes clear your growing interest in her. For example:

• "You know, your first impression was kind of so-so.. .but now that I get to know you, you are so incredible..."
• Buy her a drink.
• "When we met, you just seemed like another one of those California blondie girls. But since I get to know you, I actually feel nervous around you."
• "OMG, I can't believe this. Like. Can you believe we met at a bar?"
• "We're going to sit down over there, would you like to join us?"
• "You know what; you are actually pretty cool, I'm curious about you."
• "I have to hang out with you again sometime. -> Can you cook"

A well-timed SOI can work wonders.

Monday, October 1, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Takeaways

Takeaways

Practice timing your backturns and other indicators of disinterest to coincide with sparks of attraction. Just at the moment when she feels most emotionally stimulated or in need of validation, you turn away slightly, causing her to lean in a little more. "Wait, what you were saying about that little dog?" It takes practice to get the timing down. Remember, the attraction is only a tool to be used as bait.

When she pulls you back, you intermittently reward her with IOIs. Isn't it interesting that a takeaway is best done just after a DHV, when the target has just experienced a spike in attraction? That is the time that she is most likely to chase to get you back. Similarly, it's best to give an IOD just before escalating, since it makes it more likely that she will accept the escalation. For example, if you turn your back on her just before you kiss her, she will be more likely to accept the kiss. These sorts of tilings must be experimented with in the field in order to be properly calibrated. Incidentally, this takeaway aspect of A3 corresponds to the third law of the Tao of Steve: Be gone.

This is a useful time to use sniper negs such as "eye boogers," "you spit on me," "here's a napkin," etc. Remember, you don't get blamed for the eye booger, God does. You aren't trying to make her feel embarrassed, it just happened. It is at this time that she wants to regain your respect, and she wants to feel good again, so when you make your move, she won't get all cocky and pull away. She'll accept it because she felt embarrassed and got all quiet. Of course, you don't want to reward her for being a goof, because that would be incongruent So you amp up her embarrassment by acting disinterested for a bit, then you play nice guy and say, "Don't be embarrassed for being human".. .then you stop being into the conversation for a bit. In that state of mind, she is extremely susceptible to escalation.

Monday, September 24, 2007 - Pickup Artist VH1 - Demonstration of Higher Value

Demonstration of Higher Value (DHV)

Anything you can do that conveys higher survival and replication value is a DHV. For example, if you open a set and you already have two girls with you, you have demonstrated pre-selection, which is a DHV. When girls see that other girls have pre-selected you, they feel more attracted to you as a result.
If a woman discovers that you have a lot of money, it is a DHV. She will find you more attractive, all other factors being the same. But if she perceives that you are trying to impress her with your money, she will then lose attraction. This is because only lower-value people try to impress — such behavior is known as a demonstration of LOWER value, or DLV. If you are trying to impress, you must be of lower status and thus unattractive.

If a woman sees that you have a lot of social proof from gaming the room, she will feel more attracted to you, because social proof is a DHV. If, however, she sees that you are socially unaware and inept, then it is a DLV. When you DLV, it lowers her perception of your S and R value, which makes her feel emotionally less attracted.

Telling stories that are fun, interesting, and emotionally relevant, demonstrates social skill, which is a DHV. A story can also be structured to convey specific characteristics in the subtext, allowing you to surreptitiously flip attraction switches.
Negging is also a DHV, because only a high value guy would talk to her like that, and seem sincere. You must already have girls if you talk in such a way.

Friday, September 14, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Opinion Openers

Opinion Openers

The main purpose of the opener is to get her attention and raise her interest in a chat. It is not a time to hit on her. It is not a time to introduce yourself. It is not a time to compliment her or spend money on her.
Although there are many different kinds of effective openers, the Mystery Method tends to focus on indirect openers.
One form of indirect opener is the opinion opener, credited to Style. Possibly the most commonly used form of opener; it is easy and effective. Without further ado, here is the most popular opinion opener of all time:

The Jealous Girlfriend Opener
by Style

"Hey guys, we're doing a poll...Would you date someone that's still friends with his ex-girlfriend?"
—(Girls talk for a bit, then you cut them off.)
"Ok I've only got a minute...actually this is a two-part question....My friend Dave has been dating this girl for a couple months, but he's still friends with his girlfriend from college. What do you guys think about that?"
—(Girls ask how close they still are, then you cut them off.)
"Well he still talks to her on the phone, and he's still got this shoebox with letters.. .pictures.. .what do you guys think about that?"
---(Girls talk for a bit, then you cut them off.)
"Well get this, she told him that he needs to stop talking to the girl, and he needs to burn the box.."
----(Girls talk excitedly about topic.)
"Oh my god, listen to you guys, this is just like watching The View." —(Transition into your next routine.)

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - The Woman's Point of View

The Woman's Point of View

While Janine did enjoy making out with Joe, he did not take it upon himself to slow down the sexual escalation and remain in the comfort building stage. She truly did wish see him again, but only in the moment. When Joe called the next day, Janine wasn't in the same aroused emotional state as the night before. Due to cultural programming she felt a little guilty for doing what she did with someone she didn't really know. She knew the only reason Joe even called was to continue what was now making her feel uncomfortable just thinking about. If she did see him again. she didn't know how he would behave.

 Would he grope her and make her feel even more uncomfortable? She just didn't know him well enough to trust his future actions. Being one to indulge in her emotions, she allowed her emotions to once again make her decisions. Uncomfortable even talking to him on the phone, Janine is cold to him and lies, saying she's too busy to talk
When the confused Joe tried to change her mind, Janine took this as an attempt to manipulate her. She just didn't want to be pressured into having sex with someone she didn't feel comfortable and safe with, especially when she was not even aroused.

Joe was hard-pressed to change her emotional state on the phone. For all he knew at the time, with so many elements out of his control. Janine may have just had a fight with her room mate or just changed the kitty litter box. Over the next week or two, every time he left a message, her feelings of discomfort grew. She has no intention of ever seeing this guy again.

Joe shouldn't blame Janine for her stringing him along After all, it was he who ultimately designed this situation by not staying in the comfort stage for an appropriate length of time.
As hand holding escalates to kissing (more on how to perform Mystery's kiss tactic later), you will quickly approach a point of no return in which buyer's remorse is likely.

Monday, September 10, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - What are some other examples of gaining compliance?

What are some other examples of gaining compliance?

• Getting her to invest. (She goes to retrieve a drink for you, she spends some money on you, etc.)
• Getting her to move with you or bounce to another location.
• Locking her in. The longer a girl wears an item of yours, the more compliance you have. If the girl removes your item, she is defying.
• Social pressure. Get one of her peer group to tell her to be nice to you, or to give you an accomplishment introduction, and you will immediately gain much more compliance from her.
• People generally comply if it results in more fun, or gaining some benefit. We are inherently selfish.
• People will also comply if there is a threat A man with a gun gets more compliance than one with a hose.
Of course the venusian artist will never actually pull out a gun. But there are ways to make her feel slightly threatened if she fails to comply.

Friday, September 7, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Cat Theory

Cat Theory

"Why do you suppose we only feel compelled to chase the ones who run away?"
~ Vicomte De Valmont, Les liaisons Dangereuses
Cats don't take orders, but they can be tempted to chase. If you tie a feather to the end of a string, and use it properly, YOU can get a cat to
perform acrobatics. But isn't it interesting that if you put the feather down in
front of the cat, she will turn up her noser

Cats are always curious, especially about shiny new tilings such as the ball on a rubber cord, the catnip, the treats, the feather on a string, etc. She can be easily distracted but once she is invested in tiling to catch something, it can become her single-minded focus.

There is a lot to learn from cats. If you push a cat off of you, she jumps back into your lap. If you want to hold her, then she wants you to put her down. If she is feeling nasty she might bite or scratch. She craves attention and she gets jealous of other cats. Sometimes she'll just rub against you and purr with contentment — you can really tell when a cat likes someone.

A cat sees the feather from across the room, but continues about her business. Then the feather slightly moves and her gaze is drawn. When the
feather jumps once or twice more, she starts to steadily creep in its direction.

Jerk the string at just the right time, and the cat suddenly goes crazy, running circles around the worn, flying over furniture to catch that feather.
As the venusian artists proceeds with a pickup, he keeps validation and attention just slightly out of her reach. If he is too easily acquired, then she will quickly grow bored and lose interest. But likewise if he is completely unattainable, then she will also lose interest and give up.

Wednesday, September 5, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Mystery sits in his living room with a woman

Mystery sits in his living room with a woman, showing her some short comedic home movies. They are in C3. He puts on some music, lights up the hookah and they share smoking it. He inhales the smoke from the pipe, and then exhales it into her mouth. They do this several times.

Sharing intimacy by holding each other and kissing, he now progresses their kissing into foreplay. Both aroused, he takes her by the hand, leads her into his bedroom, hands her a box of matches and says, "Here. Light the candles while I find the incense." He then says, "Can you close the blinds for me? I'm going to wash up." A minute later he returns. "Why don't you go wash up while I light the incense," he says to her, pointing out where the bathroom is.

Building the seduction scene together in this way is similar to the way long term couples regularly do. Such ritualistic behavior is familiar and comfortable.

In case it has not been made clear up until this point, do not make this move before you have properly qualified her and built comfort with her. If you do, it will activate her anti-slut defense or cause her to get buyer's remorse, or both.

Further complicating matters, if the window of opportunity is open and you miss it, it seldom opens twice for the same bird. She may go home and backwards rationalize all the reasons why it didn't happen. So, in the interests of practice and rapid improvement, when in doubt, just escalate. Even if you're wrong, it will still improve your calibration.

Monday, September 3, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Pre-selection

Pre-selection

This attraction switch exists not only in the sexual selection mechanisms of people, but also in many animals. A male grouse (a type of bird) will be hard-pressed to attract a female if he is alone. Place a stuffed female grouse beside him and other females will soon enter his territory and mate with him.
Similarly, if a woman considers a man to be sexually attractive to other women, she will instantly feel an attraction towards him. Stand by yourself at the bar and you will not appear nearly as attractive as you would if you had two women hanging off your arms.

Demonstrating that you have women interested 111 you, in this direct manner, is only one of many ways to trigger the same sexual selection switch. There are other ways. You can also wear female perfume. When a woman asks what you are wearing say, "Nothing." Smell your collar and then remembering say, "Ah," and smile to yourself.

Another way to flip her pre-selection switch is to have a lipstick kiss on your cheek. In the same way you feel greater attraction for a woman if she has an appealing hip to waist ratio, a woman will feel the exact same way towards you because of that all-important lipstick kiss.

There are a good many more ways to flip the pre-selection switch, and there are many more switches to be flipped. The secret of attraction, which is utilized in the attraction stage of The Mystery Method, is to know what these switches are, and then endeavor to systematically switch all of them on! There is no quicker or more powerful attraction than this.

Chapters 5 and 6 examine the subject of attraction in depth, as well as the various tactics used for generating and using it.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Discomfort and confrontation

Women tend to avoid discomfort and confrontation. This may seem rather common-sense, but these points are critical to achieving success in the game:

• Have a positive, open attitude. Don't be judgmental or jealous.
• Don't act as if tilings are a big deal. They aren't.
• Don't complain or be emotionally punishing. If you call her on her shit while talking on the phone, she will just avoid talking to you on the phone. Instead of being the whiny or emotionally abusive boyfriend whenever she pulls a fast one, be the guy who has plenty of options.
• If she flakes on you, don't confront her about it next time you see her. Are you the guy who sat around and got upset? Or are you the guy who called over another girl and then forgot all about it?

Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Intuition over Analysis

Intuition over Analysis
Women follow their intuition, so believe your own bullshit. For example, if she wants to determine whether or not you are being real with her, she won't logically analyze what you said for inconsistency. Instead, she'll look to you to see if you seem congruent with what you are saying. (Are you?)

Another example of female intuition

Women often look for the "real meaning" behind what you say. For example, if you tell a story about your "friend-" she will usually assume that you are actually talking about yourself. This can be useful when the story demonstrates higher value. For example, if you don't want to look like a braggart, you could say, "My friend hooked up with this amazing girl and they had wild sex all weekend..."

On the flipside, if you want her to believe that the story really is about someone else (like if it demonstrates lower value) then use a specific name. For example, "My friend Craig woke up last weekend with a condom in his ass and..."

Shell assume you really are talking about someone else if you give him a name.

Thursday, August 23, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Stimulate her emotions

Stimulate her emotions

The venusian artist uses emotional stimulation instead of rational discourse. As long as it feels right, your romantic interest will invent her own reasons for what is happening. In other words, when you can give her the right feelings, her rationalization process starts to work in your favor instead of against it.
A woman knows how susceptible she can be when she is in an emotional state. Often her solution to this is to avoid becoming emotionally engaged in an interaction where she doesn't feel trust or safety, or where the man gaming her doesn't seem to have enough S and R value. When this happens she will seem non-responsive. Thus, if you can engage a woman on an emotional level, even if it's a "bad"' emotion such as frustration or jealousy, this is much preferable to her remaining non-responsive.

Also, instead of only trying to give her "good" emotions or avoid "bad" emotions, stimulate her with a range of emotions such as curiosity, fascination, fear of loss, connection, indignation, validation and devalidation, humor, embarrassment, happiness, sadness, and so on. The more she is stimulated, the more compelling the experience will be for her. Chapter 5 describes various techniques for this.

Friday, August 17, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - The Seducer


The most common error that beginners make is to focus on seducing a woman first instead of attracting her. This is like putting the cart before the horse. Often, to beautiful women in particular, seduction first is little more than the equivalent of saying, "You don't know me but will you sleep with me?" There is a time (and a place) to begin the seduction stage, but it's not until you first have attraction and comfort - as well as privacy.

Seducers mistakenly begin at the end. Just like any typical guy, they often blatantly disregard a woman's comfort levels entirely. Even if there is a level of attraction based on the seducer's appearance alone, this is superseded by her discomfort in having to deal with aggressive sexual advances from someone she doesn't know nor trust. It is best to not prematurely telegraph strong sexual interest until end-game.

Monday, August 13, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 -

Congruence Tests

A woman's number one emotional priority is safety and security. Above all, she wants a man who makes her feel safe and protected.

It would be convenient if she could simply ask each man in order to determine whether or not he will be able to adequately support and protect her and her offspring. But of course he would then lie in order to obtain sex — so she must test.

It's important to remember that often she is not deliberately testing you. It's not necessarily something that she is consciously aware of She just gets a feeling to behave a certain way, and so she does. Based on how you react to this, she then feels either more or less attracted as a result. This is known as a congruence test.

If she views you as a contender, then she will test you. A woman often won't even bother to test losers — instead she'll just become non-responsive and then leave as soon as she can. Thus, a test can be considered an indicator of interest, of sorts.

Congruence tests are a double-edged sword; if you respond the right way, she will be noticeably more attracted to you after the test. But if you fail, then she will be noticeably less attracted. (Chapter 6 explains how to maintain control of the frame and pass her tests.)

Thursday, August 9, 2007 - Pick Up Artist VH1 - Plausible deniability

Plausible deniability

She will never do anything during the pickup that makes her feel responsible for what is going down. To whatever degree she feels responsible, her ASD will be activated.

Thus she has a need for plausible deniability. For example, if you were to say to her, "Hey, let's go back to my place and have sex," she will have to say no, even though she wants to say yes, because saying yes would make her responsible for what is happening— which she can never do.

But if instead YOU were to say, "Hey, let's stop by my place on the way to that party — I have to show you mv tropical fish." Well, she now has an excuse and plausible deniability to stop by your place and then — oopsie— have sex with you. "One thing led to another..."

This is why serendipity is so romantic. After all, if it was meant to be, then how can it be her fault? Who is she to deny Fate?

Act with moxie

Moxie means inventive courage. The venusian artist must always be leading
the interaction to where he wants it to go. This is partly due to the fact that he has no choice, since the woman won't take any responsibility for what is happening.

For example, it is necessary to keep things interesting during the opening phase of the game. If you don't make the conversation interesting, then she will raise boring topics — and then she will feel bored and blame it on you.

It's not fair, right? This pattern of behavior can be maddening. But the truth is, if she feels bored around you but excited around other guys, then why should she waste her time on you?

Make tilings happen. Take full responsibility for your shared experience with her. It is your job to act with moxie — to move from phase to phase, to meet the objectives of each phase, to escalate, to venue change, and so on. The rest of this book will explain exactly how to do these tilings.

About Me

Pick Up Artist vh1 Like a comedian, a pickup artist is also a performing artist. A pickup artist\'s task is to captivate a small group of people long enough to convey specific personality characteristics which ultimately make him interesting to the one woman in the group that he has his eye on. The material he runs is like a vehicle that he uses to convey his personality to the group — and obliquely, to her. When a comedian tells a joke, people say, \"That\'s a good joke.\" But when he strings several good jokes together, people say \"he\'s hilarious.\" It is no longer the matenal that takes the acclaim, but the comedian himself.
