Publisher's summary

"One of the most admired men in the world of seduction" ( The New York Times) teaches average guys how to approach, attract, and begin intimate relationships with beautiful women.

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 attention for his role in Neil Strauss' New York Times best-selling 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 shield that many women use 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.

Smile. Guys who don't get laid, don't smile.

Critic reviews

"One thing is clear: [Mystery is] good at what he does. You'll laugh, you'll scoff, but in the end, you'll probably learn something." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Von Markovik knows what he's talking about." ( Library Journal)
"[Mystery] has single-handedly invented much of the jargon and tactics that men around the world are using to meet women." ( The New York Times)

moderately interesting

some good insights but also incredibly superficial and filled with clichés, suitable for a limited number of (mostly straight or bisexual) men in the duplicitous, manipulative, disingenous "player" category. still, the book provides SOME good insights and clever ideas and suggestions of general interest, even for women (it'd be good for them to understand male player mentality)

I go back and skim over just to touch up my skills

I re-read this every few years. Great for moving to a new city and making friends.

Most boring audiobook I ever heard in my life

The delivery is so boring, I won’t to fall asleep or shoot myself in the head, this should be exciting topic Full of Passion, it’s the most exciting topic in the world, So much useless dates and history is almost as he doesn’t have anything to say, And just trying to feel the pages.

the mystery method

this was a great book I really liked it the book had a lot of information in it I'm going to use everything that's in this book this book is very very very good

it explains what we naturally do

this book has opened my eyes to the natural progression of courtship. I was previously uncontiously preforming. once you know what you naturally do you can begin to master it. for me, the goal is not to seduce and sleep with a lot of women, the goal is that when the right woman comes along I will be well equipped to demonstrate my high value.

the basics of the game

great book, it really covers the basics of the game for those of you guys who don't know how to play it corretly. not only will you learn, but you'll understand why a lot of things fail and why a lot of other things work, or have worked. this book opens your mind and allows you to be great then the game, greater then the book. so enjoy.

must read!

This is much more than a book on how to just get laid; as the title suggests This is an instruction manual on how to become the best version of yourself in social settings. It should be seen as more of a guide to too efficiently convey who you Are, to anyone, more than anything else.

Better than I thought!

I don’t know why this got less than stellar reviews. I actually thought it was better than I thought! If you are only going through one book on pick-up, this may be your best option! I usually go through 5 stars reviews skeptically, but this was really good!

I guess if you go on several books on pick-up, this may just be a number for you. I’ve been through several: books by Neil Strauss, David Wygant, RSD, Roosh V. I’ve don’t RSD’s Vegas Immersion and their weekend seminar a couple times. I mainly just go for motivation and entertainment. Even if this just reiterated a lot of the fundamentals, there is value in it.

This was a fun listen and filled with great advice! Slightly old advice, but still applies today!

Very helpfu information.

Very interesting and helpful information on understanding females in generali enjoyed the book a lot.

Extract the elements you need. Ignore the rest.

Listen to the sample to determine if you'll have a problem with the narrator--I didn't mind his tone at all. He's a narrator, reading, and simply passing info on to me.

As for the content, it was either EXACTLY what I needed, or it was taught in a very convincing way. I, like many others, am rather put-off by the gimmicky games and condescending attitude toward women. So I disregarded that fluff. But there is tons of material that I GREATLY appreciated--How to open a conversation with multiple women...cold, how to stimulate their *emotions* and not fall into banal chatter, how to win the respect of your "target's" friends first, how to entertain and engage a woman or women in conversation regardless of your intentions, what indicators of interest to watch for, how to ask for contact info, etc.

I've read The Game and listened to this audiobook twice, and started to "get it." True story: I knew something was changing in me when I was with friends at a bar, saw three cute ladies (about 10 yrs younger than me) talking amongst themselves. I left my friends and started a conversation with all three of them. (One of my friends pulled me aside and said, "What are you DOING?") My opener was a true, honest topic that I composed a few minutes before speaking with them--and they were VERY interested in responding with their opinions. Two hours later, I had the email address of the cutest one of the bunch. :-) For me, this was UNREAL.
