http://pickupartist.edublogs.org TRAINING: Becoming a Pick Up Artist Thu, 29 Jan 2009 12:54:41 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Again, probably another PUA I’d rank higher on the list if I had gotten more of a chance to check him out inn action this past year.  I’ve known Nick for some time, but never really thought of him as a PUA until recently.  Now that he is no longer ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/29/savoy/ Another mainstay on the Top 10 is Zan, who drops this year to #9 from #7.  Why the drop?  Well, its not because Zan has gotten worse or diminished in skill in any way.  Its just that there were 8 others who I felt had more to contribute than Zan ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/28/zan/ I struggled with whether or not to put David Wygant on the list this year.  The man will be the first to admit that he isn’t a “pick up artist,” so to speak.  And there are some traits about him that worry me a little.  However, I cannot argue that ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/28/david-wygant/ Another new face on the Top 10 this year is Love Systems instructor Cajun.  I must admit, I have never met Cajun in person, but the buzz surrounding him is louder than a passing freight train. I was scheduled to speak at the Love System’s superconference in 2008, and Cajun was ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/27/cajun/ Down from #4 last year is Swinggcat.  Why the two-point drop?  Well, the biggest reason is because of Swinngcat’s lack of participation in the community.  2008 saw one new product release, no new articles, no forum posts, no blog entries, and no appearances at any community events. In fact, the only ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/25/swinggcat/ Like Style, no Top 10 list would be complete without Mystery!  The original Grandmaster Poo-Ah of the community is still alive and kicking, though he did drop out of the #1 spot from last year down to number four.  Why such a drop? Well, I don’t think anyone can argue that ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/24/mystery-method/ Yes, what Top 10 list would be complete without the Godfather himself - Style!  I’m sure you’re all aware of my undying fondness of Neil and his skills, having ranked the man as #1 almost consistently since I started the Top 10 back in 2004.  Last year he lost out ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/23/style/ Last year I debuted Adam at #3 in my Top 10 list, but this year he’s moved up to #2.  I must say, it was a hard decision NOT to give the guy the #1 spot this year, since Adam is, without a doubt, one of the hottest up-and-coming stars ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/21/adams/ Choosing the #1 Pick Up Artist of 2008 was a difficult decision, since there were so many great choices, but in the end, I had to give the edge to Brad P.  Last year, I ranked Brad P. as #5, but in 2008 I really got to know Brad better ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/20/brad-p/ Pick up artists will posses certain qualities which will put them far ahead of the rest... Innovations.  This is what new outlook or techniques the PUA brings to the table.  It’s easy for any new guy to get good using Mystery Method or any other school of seduction, but then again, ... http://pickupartist.edublogs.org/2009/01/19/some-of-the-best-qualities-of-a-pick-up-artist/
