Mystery: World's Greatest Pickup Artist?

If you're watching VH1's The Pickup Artist Reality Show, then you may well know Mystery the pickup artist. Aside from being featured in the VH1 reality show, he is also a main character in the book, The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss.

Mystery regarded himself as the "world's greatest pickup artist" although some may disagree. There are a lot of pickup artists in the seduction community and some of them may be greater than him when it comes to picking up girls. But that can really be a subjective matter.

Though some guys (or even girls) would not agree with Mystery as the world's greatest pua, his works and contributions in the community are indeed remarkable. The Mystery Method, for one, has been proven to be very useful and effective in pickup. He has also contributed some terms or jargons in the community:

• Set - A group of two or more people which a man would have to approach and befriend in order to be able to woo his "target" girl. "Beautiful women are rarely found alone."
• Peacocking - Dressing to stand out, or to have an item of clothing or an accessory that looks interesting, allowing the girl to comment on it if she is interested in starting a conversation with you.
• The 3-second Rule - If you see a girl you are interested in, you must approach her within three seconds or you will over-think things and create too much approach anxiety and analysis paralysis, and you will risk her seeing you staring at her.
• Neg - A backhanded compliment intended to snub a potential mate ("target"), telegraph a lack of interest ("false disqualification"), encourage the target to prove her worth ("qualify"), and simultaneously disarm 'obstacles' such as protective male or female friends.

Mystery is one of the founders of the Mystery Method Corporation. In 2006 Mystery left the company and ventured on his own company called Venusian Arts. The Mystery Method Corp. has since changed its name to Love Systems.

Another contribution of Mystery in the community is his book, The Mystery Method: How to get Beautiful Women into Bed.

All the popularity of a pickup artist may go to Mystery but in reality, there are a lot of great pickup artists in the community who gives trainings and conducts bootcamps to help guys in developing their dating skills. Some guys would prefer to go with underground puas because of Mystery's overexposure and too much commercialization.

Mystery is not the only one who has had great contributions in the community. Dating coach, David DeAngelo, had significant contributions in the community as well as Neil Strauss.
