David Wygant
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 the man has game.
First of all, David is probably the OLDEST person on this list, being in his mid-to-late 40s. Yet, he still is able to get some very attractive women. The guy is also Mr. Charisma. Give him a minute to talk your ear off, and you can’t help but be enraptured by the guy.
Out of all the people on the list, David Wygant is most like “Hitch” from the movie. He doesn’t do bootcamps, focusing on the one-on-one dating doctor style. David puts more of a focus on Day Game, and meeting women naturally as you go about your life. He tends to stay out of the bar/club scene (a factor which is older clients really love). In fact, he says the best place to meet women is while waiting in line!
Probably the biggest reason I decided to rank David in this year’s list is because 2008 saw him actively reaching out to the Seduction Community. He’s begun to be more involved, not only as a guest speaker at seminars, but also in other people products, making a notable appearance in videos created by both Mehow and Johnny Wolf.
The one criticism I have of David’s game is that I’ve found he tends to rely too much on his dog as prop. Seriously, he takes his dog EVERYWHERE. His typical MO is to sit outside with his dog at a coffee shop and wait for girls to come up and start playing with his pooch. That’s not to say he can’t get a girl without the dog, he certainly can, but this just seems like a lazy technique to me.
That being said, there is no denying David’s skill as both a PUA and a teacher. His website is full of great information, ranging from his blog to his product. David is also notable because he gives free lifetime email support to his clients. The man spends most of his time on his Blackberry answering questions from frazzled clients, fer crying out loud.
I can also see David really striking a chord with the older crowd in the community, since he’s probably the oldest guy out there (legitimately) teaching this stuff.
