Product Description

For every man who always wondered why some guys have all the luck, Mystery, considered by many to be the world's greatest pickup artist, finally reveals his secrets for finding and forming relationships with some of the world's most beautiful women. Mystery gained mainstream public attention for his role in Neil Strauss's "New York Times" bestselling expose, "The Game". Now, he has written the definitive handbook on the art of the pickup. He developed his unique method over years of observing social dynamics and interacting with women in clubs to learn how to overcome the guard that many women put up to deflect come-ons from "average frustrated chumps." His tips include: give more attention to her less attractive friend at first, so your target will get jealous and try to win your attention; always approach a target within three seconds of noticing her; if a woman senses your hesitation, her perception of your value will be lower; don't be picky; approach as many groups of people in a bar as you can and entertain them with fun conversation. As you move about the room, positive perception of you will grow. Now it's easy to meet anyone you want; and, smile. Guys who don't get laid, don't smile.

Customer Reviews

A must read guide!
"The Mystery Method" is a definite must read in that it really spells out HOW to attract the females you want to attract. The author is ingenious in his approach, which is laid back and never overbearing, which is what I have found to help with women the most. The best thing about this book is that if a guy does as the author says, his chances with women increases a lot. Without hesitation, I recommend this book along with another I found helped me in this depatment too: "Chicks: A User's Guide" by Dag Albright. Together, these books have given me more confidence and a better chance with choice women.

Good theory - but where's the practice?
The book's all theory - you need one of his $2,950 courses to make it work, or get a book on it, as he tells you to do on page 77. So what's the point of buying this book? The first 67 pages are his definitions and his hugely time wasting theory. There's loads of repetiton.

The book lacks `canned material' - whole examples of everything you might say and do from start to finish. If there was just one chapter on it, the book would justify itself. But that would be the only chapter you would need to learn, and its missing.

I've finished it, re-read it and summarised the useful bits: I only got one and three quarter pages of useful info. It has not equipped me to even begin the first "opener."

Very good and Very bad at the same time
I read this book and The Natural Art of Seduction and think they are both merit worthy, but The Mystery Method had a potential downside which The Natural Art of Seduction lacked.

For guys with no clue with women, the Mystery Method is a miracle work - something that will change their fate and turn them into the person they never thought they'd become.

The fact is, this stuff does work, knowing the principles of the mystery method will make you better with women. You will go from not knowing what to say, to having plenty to say. You'll understand some of the subtleties of why women are attracted to certain men and how to become that man.

There is a right way to go about it and a wrong way however.
If you read this book and follow it's advice to the letter, you will become a very weird person, you will give up your friends, and you will find it hard to have a "normal" relationship with a woman. You will create DHV stories (lies) opinion openers (lies) comfort building routines (lies)and more and more excuses and lies to get the woman into your bed. The problem is that she will be becoming attracted to someone else (Maybe Mystery?!), and when she finds out who you really are, when the game runs out, she'll dump you.

The best way to treat this stuff is therefore: Immerse yourself, try everything, but pick and mix, find the stuff that is right for YOU, for your personality, that you feel COMFORTABLE with. In time, have the ambition of becoming more natural, becoming more yourself. It'll be a more comfortable, experienced, knowledgeable and interesting self so by then it's fine.

There is no one magic formula that is perfect for everybody, find the one that is right for you, it might be 90% mystery method, or it might be 3%. Above all, don't be a weirdo. Think of it like going to PUA UNiversity, come for a few months, learn the stuff (go out sarging and being weird and lying) then go back to the real world.

Don't get me wrong, it's still an evolutionary work that pushed things forward like never before, it's just that it is slightly outdated and has been improved upon in other works such as the aforementioned Natural Art of Seduction.
