New Site Next Week

As promised a few weeks ago, the next iteration of the site is on its way, hence the lack of posts around here recently. I’m looking to take the new site live next Monday, October 24th at 12PM EST. From there, regular posting and updates will resume. Obviously the site will have a new name, new design, but here are some other changes you can expect to see:

Reviews of Models

Now that Models has been out for a couple months, I’ve accumulated quite a few reviews and testimonials on the book and my new material this year. The book’s page has been updated with all of the reviews if you’d like to see them.

It seems every pick up and dating product has the obligatory “this book helped me get a date!” or “this book helped me get laid!” type of reviews. Mine’s no different, but a few testimonials came in that are pretty unique or especially heartening, so I’ve posted them below.

Moving Forward

Times change and things evolve. In the next couple months I plan on rebranding and renaming the site. I always liked the name “Practical Pick Up.” And up until recently, I think it succinctly and clearly described my content: a practical and no-nonsense alternative to meeting and dating more women.

But as you guys have probably noticed, the content has evolved quite a bit this last year. A lot more time has been spent on emotional processes, lifestyle development, vulnerability, motivation, male psychology, and the process of improvement.

These topics have been discussed in as much as . . . → Read More: Moving Forward

Lifestyle Excuses

It’s amazing how many questions I get through email or on the forum that could be answered by simply reviewing The Three Fundamentals. It’s one of the centerpiece posts on the site, and my entire book is based on them, yet for whatever reason, they just don’t sink in for many people.

Here’s a very quick refresher of The Three Fundamentals:

Lifestyle – Determines the type and quality of your opportunities with women. Courage – Determines the frequency and quantity of your opportunities with women. Social Skills – Determines the ease and efficiency with which convert your opportunities . . . → Read More: Lifestyle Excuses

“…It’s Not a Conversation Anymore”

This is the final scene of the 1999 movie The Big Kahuna. The movie is about three salesmen who are on a business trip together. Over the course of the movie, the trip goes terribly, clients are lost, and the characters end up questioning themselves as well as the meaning of “honest” human interaction.

The scene is beautifully done. Watching the full movie gives it even greater context and meaning as well.

What Danny DeVito’s character talks about in regards to equating honesty to curiosity, and how life’s mistakes and regrets are what build character are . . . → Read More: “…It’s Not a Conversation Anymore”

The Toxic 10-Scale

Time to address my new pet peeve in all pick up related discussions: the ubiquitous 10-scale. Every time I hear or read the words, “She was at least an 8,” I cringe and I immediately find it harder to take the person seriously. Now I admit, I used it myself for a long time. But over the years I gradually came to the conclusion to drop the scale completely, for reasons both varied and not altogether obvious. Let’s break it down.

Why Guys Use the 10-Scale

The 10-scale has harmless beginnings. Guys — people, rather — enjoy rating and . . . → Read More: The Toxic 10-Scale

End of an Era

Next week at this time, I’ll be closing the doors for sign ups on the G3 Program. No, this isn’t a marketing gimmick, it’ll be permanent. I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the successes/failures of the program, as well as talk about the changes and new direction I plan on taking with the next iteration, which will hopefully be ready by the end of the year.

The goal with G3 was ambitious. It was to take any guy, in any situation, and give him the tools and outline the path for him to become at . . . → Read More: End of an Era
