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)

Best Book Ever Written. A Bible. A legacy. Gold.

My father passed away when I was young. With no one to teach me about girls I came across the Mystery Method and just structured my life to fit the book. In doing so, I got many beautiful women into bed. The Mystery Method is a book that should be refered back to throughout all phases of courtship.

great for beginners

this book was great if your trying to get woman take a listen to this

Great game, but outdated.

There is a ton of useful information in this book that will improve your game. However, if you follow Mystery’s method through and through, you will notice that many aspects of his game are outdated. John Anthony has a good YouTube video pointing out some of these flaws. Definitely worth the read, just stay cautious of potentially outdated information.

Most important books for guys: The Bible and this one

I wish I had read this YEARS ago! The biggest problem with dating is not understanding the flow and how to overcome tests from women. This book via the Mystery Method will help you understand where you messed up before.
Attraction comes before comfort, and comfort comes before seduction, and there are levels to it. A1-A3, C1-C3, and S1-S3. You’ll have to read the book to find this out.
For all guys out there, young and old, looking to take their dating to a whole new level- Mystery is the man and he will change your world.

How to win flesh and influence women

Women don't understand themselves, yet the demand of 'understanding them' is placed on the men who would pursue them. This has always been the difficulty. Though I have been out of the dating game for a long time, I found this information very useful into how women react to certain techniques. Yes, this centers around dating but one can easily apply it to a workplace dynamic. I do not think it applies that well to marriage because if you play these games with a wife, she will just think you're an A hole. A few of the early reviews said they disliked the narrator. Did we listen to the same audiobook? This narrator is spot-on.

The narrator is good!

There are so many comments here about the narrater that I almost didn't download MM. I am glad I did. If you want subtle narration, go to the history section. This audio wouldn't work without a little license from the narrator. The content and delivery are entertaining. If you are so uptight that this narrator really bugs you, then MM is definitely not for you; which is good for the rest of us. If you'll escuse me, I need to go work on my game and peacock a little.

Nerdy approach to dating

Written by a good looking guy (see vids on you tube) for an audience of geeks. I guarantee "mystery" has no problem getting women without his method. First half of the book contains sound principles, but it turns into a video game-type approach to dating. Which requires to master series of combos to be successful. It's just like playing Tekken. I am not saying it doesn't work. I am just too lazy to learn all the moves.

Very Technical, But That's What I Wanted

I just divorced my one -and-only after a 28 year marriage. She was my high school sweetheart, so I had NEVER been in the singles world at all. To say that I felt clueless and overwhelmed when it came to meeting potential romantic partners would be a severe understatement. After reading and listening to several books by other authors over the course of several months, I finally stepped into the dating game and had some success, but I felt like I was missing some key information in order to succeed. This book went over some detailed fundamentals that I did not learn from the other guys...stuff that I can immediately apply and practice out in the field. I have found my confidence rise to a whole new level and feel much more comfortable and confident than ever before. The only reason I didn't give this book the highest rating is that I could tell that this book was written for a younger audience than me. I feel that being close to the half-century mark poses some additional challenges that I wish were addressed in this book. What I do is whenever a target asks my age, I simply ask her how old she thinks I am. When she says something like, "33," I smile and ask her, "Are you psychic?"

Need a plan?

your own game plan not doing as well as you would like or don't really have a game plan but you just wing it? well here's a plan outlined in detail I have not tried it but from the outside it looks solid. I may update this in the future

Great Information and Techniques

What did you love best about The Mystery Method?

The content you can learn in here is invaluable

What aspect of Alan Sklar’s performance would you have changed?

Over the top characterization. I would've love it if Mystery read this

Any additional comments?

Stick it out, you'll get used to the stupid narrator in 20 mins or so. The content is too powerful to get hung up on his annoying voice and intonation.
