Almost all guys need to improve their skills with women, very few are ‘naturals’. So why not learn from the World’s foremost expert on pick-up and seduction…

“The World’s Greatest Pickup Artist.”
— Saturday Night Magazine

“…has single-handedly invented much of the jargon and tactics that men around the world are using to meet women.”
— The New York Times

“Desmond Morris, the British zoologist and sexuality expert, admits that the Method is a shrewd compression of the phases of love. ‘One of the great mistakes men make is not playing all the stages of courtship,’ he says. ‘It has to be done stage by stage if it’s going to work.”‘
- Elle Magazine

“Mystery’s disciplinal Don Juans often describe the bene£ts of the Mystery Method as augmenting not only their romantic pursuits but also their lives in general. They find they become happier, more confident people. Even Neil Strauss, the New York Times’ music columnist and author of an article on Mystery, has become one of the method’s most devoted followers. ‘It’s revolutionized my life, ‘he says.”
- Utne Magazine

“What is miraculous is that it works. In four hours, I watch Mystery work his way into five separate groups of people in the nightclub, and target a beautiful woman who wraps her limbs around him in less time than it takes to say impressive. It also worked for his former students…”
- Marie Claire Magazine

“He’s like a MAD GENIUS. He sucks women into his reality. It’s
LITERALLY one of the most @%*^ED UP phenomenons I’ve seen in my ENTIRE LIFE. It’s worth it just to SEE IT, let alone what it does to your game. And the cool part is, it’s all LEARNABLE.”
- Tyler D

“I was absolutely amazed. My jaw dropped with surprise by how well The Mystery Method works and allows you to easily maneuver through sets to isolate a hot babe and flow quickly from one set to the next.”
— Papa

“I did something I thought would be IMPOSSIBLE to do. I approached a set of 6 guys and 1 girl. Played it by the book. The guys even bought me drinks. I was then able to isolate and attract the hot babe without any issues. I instant dated her immediately. Then, we went to her place. That was my BEST pick-up ever. I never would have dared approach a set like that. Now I can.”

“I have never seen such a display of Alpha-ness in my life. Mystery had the whole VIP lounge eating out of his hand. Guys were high-fiving him and girls were coming up kissing him and getting their pictures taken with him. It was amazing.”
- Thundercat

“Saturday night I went clubbing with two other guys, and opened up lots of groups — in fact, I was the leader of our group of three guys, and felt myself generating social proof with every group I opened. I can honestly say that I’m now 500% more comfortable in bars than I was before. Thanks.”
- Trevor L.

“I took your workshop in LA two weeks ago.. .Last night, I ran the tightest set. I followed your game plan EXACTLY. I went in with intriguing opener, picked the target, got the group to love me, negged/ignored her. I was the center of attention of the entire mixed 6 set. Later, I isolated her, quali£ed, demonstrated vulnerability, I always knew all tin’s stuff should work, but tonight I actually SAW it work in its entirety for the first time. It was amazing that everyone in the group acted according to the plan (group, HB, specific obstacles). Thanks Mystery. Tins took my game to the next level. ”
- Ryan C.

Negs are generally used on attractive and very attractive women! They serve numerous purposes, including slightly lowering a girl’s self-esteem so she’s more vulnerable to pick-up, displaying higher value, lowering a girl’s bitch shield, etc.

An HB is there, surrounded by her friends. She has put on this BITCH act. Is she REALLY a bitch?Unlikely. All my girlfriends were wonderful human beings. Beautiful people have it easier because they are beautiful and often times have better upbringings because of it.

BUT - she needs to have a standard when all these NOBODY guys approach her. So her values are very honed and understood. When a man walks up and says, “Can I buy you a beer” this WILL annoy her. While the guy thinks he’s doing something nice for her, she gets this ALL the time. She is desensitized to this. You are the 8th guy TODAY!

So she is very good at brushing all these guys off. She HAS to be… she isn’t going to sleep with ALL of them! So she may say NO, or act annoyed, and then the guy thinks she’s a bitch and he walks off pissed and feeling like a failure. And that seems to work. Sometimes when the girl is particularly in a feeling of control (like in a club where she is PREPARED for the barrage of men - it IS after all something that occurs so often that when it is GONE she MISSES it) she will accept the beer and then flake the guy off. Hey, the guys are stupid enough to buy her one; she might as well take it. Source: http://www.mysterymethod.com/downloads/neg_theory.pdf

From personal experience, it takes plenty of practice to use negs effectively – but they are absolutely deadly! When dealing with hot women they are totally essential, because HB’s are use to dealing with supplicating men day-in and day-out! And, if you want to succeed with stunning women, you need to display higher value from the outset to set your-self apart from the AFCs – a neg is an excellent way to do this!

Using false disqualifiers such as these has a disarming effect and also demonstrates value. In fact, they are identical to negs in this regard. These lines demonstrate confidence, fun, a lack of neediness, and a discriminating attitude that says I’m the one controlling the frame, I’m the one who is the prize, and I’m the one who is screening; you to determine whether or not you qualify for my attention.

Examples from Mystery’s ebook…

• “It would never work out between us.”
• “I can already tell, you and I are not going to get along.”
• “You’re fired.”
• “You’re too much of a nice girl for me.”
• “You’re a dancer? OMG I can’t even talk to you,”
• “I’m totally not boyfriend material. Hey, that guy over there looks perfect for you.”
• “We are so broken up. I want my CD’s back.”
• “Your first impression sucked…”

Just before Mystery (Erik Markovik) created the Mystery Method and set-up his business, he had extensive experience in approaching and interacting with women. And it was this experience combined with his infatuation with understanding women that lead to the development of his system and the creation of his company.

Mystery had worked as a close-up magician in restaurants in New York and Toronto while trying to get a job as a magician on a cruise-ship. He credits the experience with helping him to learn the ins and outs of human interactions. Mystery, despite working as a magician, does not have any interest in the supernatural or spiritual aspects of humanity. A term he uses instead of love is ‘pair bonding’, which is when two individuals bond strongly because of the unconcsiouss desire to raise their Survival and Replication value. His illusions are grounded firmly in the laws of physics.

Mystery is credited with a number of important and well-known concepts in the Seduction Community, many of them coming from the world of theater in which he worked as a magician. Terms like “set,” “routine,” “peacocking,” and “the 3-second rule” are his inventions. Mystery also introduced the concept of the infamous ‘neg’, a remark made to snub a potential mate (”target”), telegraph a lack of interest (”false disqualification”), and encourage the target to prove her worth (”qualify”).

Like all geniuses in their fields of endeavour, Erik had a combination of traits (including perfectionism and obsession) that lead him to extensively analyze the un-chartered waters of pick-up and seduction. And, from his ground-breaking ebook, the conclusion of his extensive research is that successfully interacting with women, on the surface, has nothing to do with logic but everything to do with triggering emotions!

Telling personal stories should not only intrigue the target girl/audience but also present the opportunity to display higher value… so set your-self apart from the other guys.

When you tell a story, it doesn’t have to be explicitly impressive. In fact, it’s better if it’s not some amazing story; you don’t want the target to think you’re trying to impress her. As long as the story is fun, interesting, and most importantly captures the attention of her group, then it is fine. These sorts of stories are most congruent if they are somewhat true and based on events from your own life.

When it is possible to convey traits that will flip attraction switches, without making it obvious that you are doing so deliberately, it is a DHV and generates attraction. For example, in a story, it is possible to flip the leader of men attraction switch by congruently adding something like: “…so I told him I have no choice, it’s my little sister. So he jumps in the car, cause you know my friends are there for me one-hundred percent, and I’m the same way for them, that’s just how we are…”

What’s the 3-second rule? It’s simple: don’t wait, act! When opportunity presents itself, in the form a an attractive and/or very interesting woman, don’t squander the opportunity by not approaching because of the fear of rejection. For instance:

If you see the girl from a distance and you’ve assessed the scenario to be a single, then you can wait there for her to notice you and then immediately go over or you can just go right over without waiting. BUT: Do not get eve contact and then fail to approach, and think you can use that eye contact later to approach her. If you didn’t approach her right away (the 3 Second Rule) then you blew it and while it’s possible to still get her, you’re now in damage control mode.

Before learning about pick-up and seduction, I used to be so serious about finding the ‘right’ girl and finding ‘true’ love - I failed miserably! Since then, I’ve realised meeting and attracting women should be fun and socially rewarding – it’s not chore! It’s a challenge – it’s a game with, potentially, many outcomes. As Mystery says…

Practicing the Game is not unlike the movie Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray re-lives the same day over and over again for what seems like years. Each day he tries to pick up the same girl, and her responses are different as he tries new tactics from day to day. Over time his skills improve and he gets closer and closer to his goal.

If the right switches are flipped, she will feel attraction and she won’t really have a choice about this. Similarly, if the wrong switches are flipped, she will lose attraction and she won’t have a choice about that either. She may even feel disappointed that it happened.

This means that her responses have absolutely nothing to do with who you are as a person. It’s not about who you are — it’s just a response generated by your tactic, your delivery, and other factors. It’s just a game.

Here’s an opinion on how negging a HB9 may work – apparently it’s all to do with brain chemistry.

“The act of negging [Mystery’s invention and a part of the Mystery Method] an attractive woman can even tamper with her brain chemistry, says Helen Fisher, the author of Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love. “When you fall in love with somebody, what’s going on in the brain is an elevated activity of dopamine. A woman who’s a 9 or a 10 doesn’t have to do any work to get a man, so the system usually isn’t triggered and she doesn’t feel romantic love. But when someone spurns her, that system will kick in and she’ll feel attraction.” - Elle Magazine

Imagine a hot babe just waiting for men to approach her and start supplicating, but with the MM, that’s one thing you don’t do! In fact, you neg her to make her feel as though she’s nothing special, then with one foot in the door, you begin…
