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)

    Another must read for all males.

    Be sure to take notes and reference. This should be accompanied by the physical book and a highlighter. Studied and practiced.

    Fascinating

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Mystery Method to be better than the print version?
    Yes.

    What about Alan Sklar’s performance did you like?
    Alan Sklar's narration is excellent BUT ...

    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    The "street corner" psychology displayed in this book is sophomoric at best. The book seems to treat all young ladies as if they are gullible idiots. Shame on the author for that.

    Any additional comments?
    This book is fascinating if you're into hasty generalizations.

    wow i'm prepared

    This was a great book to hear. The speaker really gets into the material. I would recommend this book to anyone that has trouble introducing them self's to people. Even if your married. This is about 3 hours dating advice and 4 hours of how to pure network and meet people. I use this book info at both the local bar and when i go to real estate conferences to introduce my self to groups and sets. This is amazing book of facts and techniques, for dating and picking up a SO.

    Great information!

    Had no problem finishing this. Very surprised at the bad reviews of the narrator. I enjoyed his voice. Glad that examples and a good plan and strategy were shown. Wish there was more examples but it gives enough for a start.
