Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-12 00:00:00 Lee Carter Thought I would try reading something way off from my usual historical fiction genre. While I don't believe this book was written for humor, it struck me as very funny. It is hard to imagine any half evolved man would think the "considerations" given by the author would work on a 21st century woman beyond one with no brain or self-respect. The anecdotal accounts are of "success" are creepy and pathetic. The author appears to believe a succession of sexual conquests is an ultimate achievement. More is clearly regarded as better in his world, quality probably is not. For a mature approach to seduction, I highly recommend "The Art of Seduction" by Greene.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-31 00:00:00 David Earnhardt I remember that Mystery's first book The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed, was the first real book I read about the PUA community and basically the "art of seduction." Even though the name could be much less cheesy-sounding, I took a chance because I was at a point where I kept losing interesting from girls that would even approach me sometimes. I didn't know where else to turn until I stumbled onto Mystery's first book when the whole "PUA" scene was just starting to become exposed. It blew my mind and started practicing "out in the field" with girls I knew and would meet and for the main part, the first book served as a good general guideline to meeting women that you want and successfully getting them interested in you, and then taking it from there. As the book says, you can learn all the stuff there is in the book, but in order to understand how to work as well as getting good at game, you have to go out there and do it. All the good PUAs out there right now got good because they weren't afraid to fail, and I had to stomach my pride before I started getting consistent results. I wouldn't change a thing now because it's such an awesome feeling choosing which girl you want to meet. I got the second book with so much excitement and expectation because I feel like his first book improved my game and social life so much. Man, was I disappointed! He opens up the book talking about his entourage and his super-mansion and basically any other material things he can mention in order to show off that he "made it." It was badly written and boring to boot at well. Then, finally he starts mentioning a student who comes for a private one-on-one instruction (but not before putting in a shameless commercial plug for his services), and then starts to just touch upon the things that made his first book so great. When he finally starts talking about "the Mystery Method" and the guidelines to seduce a girl, it's very badly worded and scattered all over the book, making it very hard to understand. It's thrown in between how much stuff he owns and what women he banged last week, making his teachings seem cheap and disparaging. What you can piece together are basically regurgitations of his first book, aside from some different names and updates, but basically nothing new. After a few chapters, it's pretty clear as the same style of writing is prevalent throughout the whole book. He's officially now a sellout. It's unfortunate because I got good at game because of him. Now, he seems like just another guy that let fame get to him. If you're gonna read one of his books, read the first one. However, there are WAY much better guides to picking up girls nowadays and without so much fluff. If you really want to learn advanced game, try Magic Bullets: 2nd Edition. That explain things so much better, is more up to date, and is worth the money in my opinion. They tell you of past success through experience without showing off, so you get more of a feeling of how it works and how you need to "calibrate" your game since there's no "one size fits all" method for all women, which is something I think most pick-up artists fail to mention (and something I found out through experience).
