Mystery and Matador in Star Magazine!

Not every guy’s got game when it comes to the opposite sex.  That’s why ladies’ man extraordinaire Mystery is back with a second season of The Pickup Artist.  On the reality competition, he schools nine would-be Romeos in the art of seduction and takes them to meet women as hidden cameras follow their progress.  The pupil who learns Mystery’s moves best will bag $50,000, which he could use to start a love pad of his own. 

So how does the expert school the love-challenged?  In one training exercise, the socially awkward contestants – including a 21-year-old who’s never kissed a girl – mingle with a group of elderly women, removing sexual attraction from the equation.  "Then when they go to a nightclub, they have that no-pressure experience to fall back on and can think, ‘I have to be the way i was with the old ladies,’" says Mystery, 37. 

Here are Mystery’s three keys for a guy to be a successful pickup artist.  he’s not worried if they get out, because, as he says "You can reveal everything about the pickup to women, and it will still work!"

1. PLAY UP TO A GIRL’S PALS.

A practiced pickup artist doesn’t just chat up the pretty girl he’s been scoping out in a bar.  He also gets in good with her friends!  "Women of beauty are rarely alone; they’re usually in a group," says Mystery.  "A guy must go in and talk to everybody…without ruffling the feathers of guys or making the girls feel uncomfortable."

2. SHOW NO FEAR.

Guys should act confident – even if they don’t feel confident – when getting to know a hottie.  "You can be scared, but don’t show it," says Mystery.  "It’s like having a pebble in your shoe.  If you don’t walk with a limp, no one would know."

3. NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST.

Mystery’s students are taught to make sure the ladies they’re interested in know that they are nice guys, not players – even if they’re a bit of both.  Says Mystery, "As long as you’re a good person and you can convey it, you’re going to trigger attraction mechanisms that are hardwired into women’s brains."

Now you know!
