Anyone who has not yet watched Californication should go and do so immediately. The character of Hank Moody represents everything a pick-up artist needs to be. Even when he looks like three-day-old road kill, his "I don't give a fuck" attitude, funny games, cocky frame, unshakable resolve and his intense sexuality make him a force to be reckoned with. I swear to the gods, David Duchovny (or his writer at least) is a pick-up artist extraordinaire.
Nice Monkey, I've been watching and loving the show since it's first episode. Respek.
I don't know how many of you guys have seen "Fistful of Dollars" or "The
Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", but Clint Eastwood's character, Blondie/the Man with No Name, can be a better teacher for inner game than any "guru". There are no love interests in any of the films in the trilogy, yet if he wanted to have any girl, he could have her. He epitomizes mystery, confidence, manipulation, all whilst remaining a character of high morality. When he has six men pointing guns at him and six bullets in his barrel, he calmly shoots them all down and keeps on smoking his cigar. Nobody knows anything solid about him; even the name Blondie is just one character's nickname. He orchestrates the outcome of the situation and plays his enemies against one another to cause his desired outcome. Most importantly, he's "the Good".
Another cool one for the Tarantino lovers out there is "the Wolf" in "Pulp Fiction", played by Harvey Keitel. When anything serious goes wrong, the Wolf gets called in to ameliorate the situation. When Sam-U-L Jackson and Travolta's characters have a body they need to dispose of and blood drenched clothes they need to get out of, they panic. Then comes in the Wolf, completely calm even when placed under a time constraint. Not to mention him being very well dressed and clean shaven (the other meaning of clean-shaven, not the 'clean-shaven' that is mentioned often on this forum.
One last one for now. I'm a huge fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Watch the movie "True Lies". He's basically James Bond in it, but cooler and funnier, which says a lot, because I love James Bond (when played by Connery or Craig). Within the first few minutes he games the girl from Wayne's World.
