As some of you know, we are two once “average Joes” when it came to women, and have both been studying and practicing the “Art of the Pickup” for almost a decade each. We have traveled the world and developed tactics and techniques with women, and met other experts and learned from them, too. We’ve had unique access to the best of what is out there, and are here to share some of our knowledge with you.
What we were lucky enough to stumble upon many years ago was an underground community of guys who were developing tactics and techniques for getting massive success with women. It was kind of like waking up as Neo in the movie “The Matrix” and realizing the world was totally different than what we thought it was, and that even average guys like us actually COULD date and seduce beautiful women. Thus the name of this blog, “What is the Art of the Pickup?”.
Instead of machines and agents controlling our minds, we realized it was popular media (agent Oprah), religion (agent Father John), and even friends and family (agents Mom and Dad) indirectly programming us and stopping us from realizing our true potential and desires.
So we are going to blog here about how we were freed from this “prison of our minds” and how you can be freed, too. We are going to share some really cool routines, tactics and techniques, some cool videos, some personal experiences, maybe some field reports and more. We will also be answering some questions from readers of the blog.
So get ready for some hardcore download of knowledge to your brain and get ready to learn “The Art of the Pickup”, let’s do this!
