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.

    What the critics say

    "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)

    I wouldn't listen to the bad reviews

    I loved this as an audiobook, extremely entertaining and could listen to it multiple times. Great narrator, not bland like many other audiobooks, and equally informative as entertaining. If you’re upset at the red print, at least enjoy his point of view from a psychological standpoint.

    The Bible

    The only issue with this book is that I did not find out about it sooner.

    To much rambling not enough advice.

    The book is 99% stories about how amazing the author thinks he is. And less than 1% actual pick up advice.

    The pick up advice can literally be summarized in one or two sentence. It’s unfortunate that you’re forced to read an entire book to get there.
