Just back from the Seattle bootcamp. I had an awsome time! LoveDrop and Kosmo gave tonnes of value and energy. The best part is that it was smaller group and it was possible to get very personalized advice and questions answered directly from the coaches. All of the students there were totally cool as well! (What up guys ) Getting one-on-one feedback from the coaches is amazing, this is what really helped my game the most. Getting feedback from professionals with experience really sets your calibration. Being that there is no VH1 in Canada, I was so impressed by the energy that Kosmo delivers. It is infectious and something I will imitate in field. Report Post Read More »

That’s right guys, lindo’s been hanging out with Mystery & Lovedrop yo! “You know how we role in the Two Double O 8” – aki Haha My heads still in turmoil and excitement from such a crazy rollercoaster of a weekend. I wont be writing on everything that happened otherwise id be here all day typing so I’ll cover the highlights plus I’ve just about got some feeling in my fingers but more on that in awhile (did I just do a multiple thread mmmm lol) So where to begin hey? Well I guess it all started when I started hanging out with my good buddy Discovery (the latest member of the VA team based in the UK). Read More »

I went from just getting shut out and hanging in the corner like a dork fly on the wallpaper to being able to talk to girls and have some of them hang onto my arm, smile while being chatty, laughing, or just sometimes want to keep talking for a little while.. No full lipaction but I'm getting girls to show me their more private tattoos (in a restaurant) lean in alot and have many women hang right around where I am, and I like it already....I just need to relax more and get into more practice in conversations, definitely getting them used to kino and me being a touchy-feely-fun guy. If you talk about a NERRRrrrdddd/dork you would look me up until I was probably 15. It's not that I was terribly fat or ugly but man social, whoah I was more like clueless. Read More »

This has been my second bootcamp with Mystery. I especially liked this one because it was a small group of 7 or 8 and I got alot of personal attention from both Mystery and Matador. My sticking point has been mostly in comfort building, and Mystery really gave some good advice on story telling and comfort routines. He also taught us a couple magic tricks on the side. By the third night, I could easily open girls, and carried on conversation with them for 45min inside a loud club. Mystery also helped me form my Identity which was a sticking point for me. All in all it opened my eyes, I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone man as a life changing event ... Read More »

Hey guys, Let me begin by saying that I definitely enjoyed myself during the weekend of the LA Super Conference. And in the end, I'm glad I did it, for many reasons - meeting other PUA-hopefuls, meeting Mystery, Matador, Lovedrop, Discovery et al and generally getting some advice from those guys. It's also worth mentioning that I own the Mind of Mystery DVD course and had reviewed it thoroughly before the course, so the CONCEPTS of Mystery-style pickup were familiar to me. It was merely the PRACTICE and PERSONAL GUIDANCE that comes with hands-on instruction that was lacking for me. Read More »

I took the one with Matador and Hawaii (also with Knack for night clubs). It was a lot of fun and a sequence of eye opening events for me. It cleared some blocks in my head and opened myself to some possibilities [I say some because of a reason, that I'll get into that later ] If any of my friends from that boot camp are reading this, How are you doing guys? This is Vish. Let me start with this. All the great and mind blowing things that you've read about Matador, they are all true. He is AMAZING. He is like an ANIMAL (..in a good way). He knows how to talk to the human animal inside the girls body and get her hooked. Watching him open sets and make out with in seconds is unbelievable. It can only be described as 'Plowing thru' (...into the girls mind and escalate physically). I felt, Matador truly wants to help men to get better in their life, not just pick up but to become your best self overall. He talks in depth about it in the class room session. Read More »

I'm a changed man after going to the l.a. bootcamp last weekend. I feel so much better about life, and I have a new attitude about life. Every man should attend at least one bootcamp in their life time. It's an eye opener. I would like to give a shout out to everyone and the instructors that were apart of this great moment.

Hey folks... I attended the conference portion of the recent Venusian Arts Superconference in Los Angeles on March 28-30th, and I thought I'd share my thoughts about it. I didn't pay for the "in-field training" portion of the program, so if you're only interested in that, this review won't be helpful to you. But if you want to hear what the seminars are all about, here's your chance. And since I have a lot to tell and can't write it all in one sitting, I'm going to break these reviews up by day. Before I begin, let me say that overall I thought the conference was great, and any complaints or issues I bring up in these reviews shouldn't take away from that fact. I most definitely felt I got way more than my money's worth and I would highly recommend the conference for anyone looking to learn basic to intermediate PUA skills. But there are definitely a few items that could be improved by Venusian Arts the next time around. So I'll give the unvarnished truth, the good and the bad, but as a whole I thought Read More »

I was part of the Los Angeles Superconference and I gotta tell you guys, that shit was the bomb. From the momment I got there to the momment I left, it was all excitement. To be able to listen to Mystery was the best. His presence is undescribable. Everything that would come out of his mouth was like magic or something. He basically knows everything about being a PUA. Kosmo along with Joe D had this great energy that really helped me to not care about what's going to happen when I approach a girl. And Matador is the one of the fucken coolest guys I've ever known. This guy is the MAN! You will not believe your eyes when you see this guys game. Discovery taught me a lot about how to be with the different types of chicks out there and he also helped me realize what type of person I am. Ross jeffries was hardcore. That guy just knows how to play his game to perfection. He can can get chicks wet in minutes. We all learned so much from these guys. They answered any question we had and they will change your life.

Hi, Day1: I am the worst case of all the AFC's out there, kinda like spoon from the VH1 show. But this revelation bootcamp was insanely amazing. I have never been in field, never danced with a girl, never even kissed a girl. On top of that I have mad approach anxiety. The first night, I meetup with Mystery he shows me hows it done, he says being blown out is no big deal just approach. But, I just stand there looking like a clown. Fortunately, there was a female in a class, who volunteers to be my pivot. I am like with a girl on my arm I cant get blown off. I approach a 3 set, with cologne opener, I open, but they walk away after A1. So, I say thanks and bye to my pivot, turn around and approach a two set dancing. I hit them, with the men vs women lie more opener, the DHV, use a little cocky/funny, I run out of things to say, so I number close, she insists I stay or give her my number, but I hit her with cocky/funny again, and take her number. My first number close tomorrow, she flakes, but atleast it was h Read More »

Ok let me first start out by saying what you are about to read is nothing but truth. I have no reason to write this. I feel compelled to, in hopes that it might benefit someone and lead them to a life changing decision, such as attending a bootcamp thus enriching their life. My background. I am 34 years old, sucessfull military pilot of ten years, soon to be separting from the military in a few weeks so this bootcamp could not have come at a better time. I am a good looking guy and not satisfied. Sure I got laid on a regular basis by 7's and 8's, and a 9 or 10 once a year. So thru the bootcamp I was looking to improve my quality of women and actually learn pickup instead of relying on my looks to get women. I also was attending the bootcamp for the social aspect. I am moving back home to Dallas soon and would like to create a quality, large social cirlcle of friends. Read More »

Before I get to it let me give you some background on me. I've been in the game since August and have been going out fairly consistently. I could lay a new 6 or 7 every two-three weeks if I was going out. I was VERY skeptical before the bootcamp because I was already getting laid way more than anybody else in the Atlanta lair. Hell I laid a new girl the day before the bootcamp. I was taking this bootcamp to get the skills to get hotter girls. Not to mention I'm black and usually go to black clubs and I knew we wouldn't be able to do that since the general demographic of the bootcampers not to mention I wouldn't be in charge of the venues.

Just wanted to comment on the DC Bootcamp. I am Married.....I have been interested in the community ever since I read the game a couple of years ago. I went with my Bro who is recently divorced mainly to wing with him and learn how to apply the social dynamics of the community to business. Anyone who thinks they have game has got to go to a bootcamp.....you will learn to push yourself in ways you never knew. I guarantee that if you think you are already well versed on the art of the pickup these guys will blow you away with their knowledge and confidence. Mystery was a machine....great guy, very friendly, passionate, and knows exactly what he is doing. Hawaii was a strong instructor.......knows his stuff and has great confidence in his game. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my money than to take one of the boot camps. It will give you confidence and the ability to talk to almost anyone even if you aren't using it to pick up ladies. Kudos also to Joe D., Knack, Lovedrop, and of course the man himself Read More »

For anyone that hasn't taken a bootcamp, and feels like they have a pretty decent understanding of what they're doing...Take a bootcamp! The DC boot camp was awesome. I had to miss a little since I got sick, but the individual attention and customer satisfaction were amazing. I also learned a ton about what I was doing wrong, and corrected many of my previous problems and misconceptions pretty quickly. Read More »

Here is the not so long awaited review of the Atlanta boot camp of February 15-17, 2008. Before I continue, I wish to note upfront that Matador and Kosmo are incredible not only as PUA's but also teachers who are kind, patient, and incredibly generous. They gave far more than I expected and went above and beyond what was advertised. They had SO much to give and worked very hard to download all this incredible information into our brains.

Dressed in tight leather pants, patterned vest and a V-neck muscle shirt, Matador, of VH1’s “The Pick-Up Artist,” cut an intimidating figure Wednesday night in Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall. As part of the latest event in the Sex Week at Yale series, Matador spoke to a packed audience for 90 minutes, revealing tips and tricks from his unusual trade: seduction. Read More »

I wasn’t convinced that the boot camp was going to help me but went for it on the insistence of my pal and to solve the mystery behind mystery and the pick up artists once and for all. The first day Matador took us through the Mystery Method, which was kind of repetitive for me because I had read the book. However, I did see pieces of the puzzle coming together and also the practical application of the method and how it was important to follow the steps. Though I knew the steps I ignored following them and I realized how following them could benefit. Read More »

I signed up for Hawaii's 1 on 1 when I went to Vegas for vacation. He made me feel like an old friend right off the bat and took me out with the best insider tips on the Vegas territory. The first night he showed me some great demos by easily and effortlessly opening up set after set all in a fun playful mood. He had to cut sets loose pretty abrubtly because he was training me but within 3-5 minutes he was able to run A1-C1 without a hitch and was making them laugh and grow attraction to him and even kiss him. I'm sure he was on his way to S3 if I wasn't there. After I had enough demo time, he pushed me into set after set and quickly critiqued me and corrected me on the little subtleties that make or break a good set. He makes a great wing and coach!!! My game truely improved after his help but I'm still searching for my own identity and style to become a master from my perspective. Hawaii sent me on the right path to begin with. I would recommend that you read the materials and study the openers and DHV stor Read More »
