Apparently, this "Mystery" character "killed" the "PUA" scene.
I wouldn't say that 100%. He may have whored the PUA scene in of itself, but I found it interesting. I mean, how does some guy who looks like a Vegas performer manage to pull in some HOT women, let alone teach 9 random dudes how to do the same thing?
(Don't get me wrong. I kinda do respect mystery a bit, it's just his...fashion style. Too much).
To be honest, I think if people acted themselves, and just learned the REASONS behind the methods in "The Pick Up Artists", it wouldn't matter if the show would have aired.
If I'm talking to a girl, and some dude came up and used one of those (useless) lines, I'd even say "What? You got that from VH1? That's cute (If a girl is around)"
...but I like what I saw, in both seasons.
I'd say don't sweat it. Shit, I'll even watch Season 3. But, I don't think they're will be. Crazy drunken whores like the ones on Rock Of Love and that Ray J show make better entertainment.
I think that the PUA scene is Mystery's to whore if he wants to - so much of so many of the current Guru's materials is based in Mystery's method and he was responsible for creating so many concepts that are universally accepted. That being said I don't think it is possible to damage the PUA industry, I think the issue is much more that individual routines, openers and gambits will be destoryed.
We just need to make sure that we have a rolling stock of original material - and that we know when to let a certain routine go.
Mystery is responsible for so much of what we all have. Credit where credit is due.
Finally, I don't think it was ever Mystery's true goal to try and milk the PUA scene for money - I honestly believe that he is passionate about helping people. In the Vh1 show it is clear for all to see that all three of the male coaches (J-Dog, Matador and Mystery) genuinely care about helping the guys put in front of them.
