You would never recognize Alexander Prophet if you met him four years ago. He was depressed, socially awkward, and trapped in a horrible relationship with a woman who made his life miserable. He describes his former self as an overweight (he weighed over 320 lbs at his worst) computer geek who was obsessed with games like World of Warcraft and Warhammer 40,000. His social life consisted of playing online with his few friends and hanging out with his unemployed and overweight girlfriend who constantly harassed him for an engagement ring. He had very little luck with women in his past and despite his girlfriend’s horrible personality, he could never muster the courage to break up with her because he feared that he couldn’t do any better. “I had been in a nightclub maybe twice in my life, I had no idea how to talk to women, and I was perpetually afraid of making a move for fear of being rejected. I figured ‘Well at least I have SOMEONE. What if I can’t find someone else?’”

Then one day his best friend Showcase, knowing how miserable he was, explained the concepts he had just read about in The Game by Neil Strauss and his life was changed forever. “I used to think that no beautiful woman would ever want to even touch my disgusting body. The pick-up arts showed me just how wrong I was.” He and Showcase went out every night they could, read every article they could find, devoured any piece of material they could get their hands on. After finally meeting Mystery and Matador at bootcamp, Prophet became the forum admin on the brand new Venusian Arts website. Traveling around and helping out at Venusian Arts bootcamps across North America, Prophet met some of the biggest names in the community while being personally trained as an instructor by his new mentors. During this period of intense transformation, Prophet completely reinvented himself. “I changed my look a million times until I found one I liked – and then I kept changing it and having fun with it! I started working out and losing weight, I tried ridiculous peacocking items, I changed my hair and tried a million different clothing styles. I completely forgot the old me and became the man I wanted to be.”

Prophet’s journey from AFC to PUA has been a challenging one. But after overcoming crippling insecurities and personal fears, Prophet found himself on a roller-coaster ride of exciting and bizarre experiences including bouncing at a strip club, hanging out in a nudist colony, dating a dominatrix, having a brief affair with a rock star, and having all manner of sordid adventures with the usual assortment of models, aspiring actresses, and even a couple of burlesque dancers. “It’s been an amazing journey. This is the life I had always dreamed of living. I see gorgeous women at bars and clubs COMPETING for a chance to flirt with me and I think to myself ‘I LOVE my life!’”

Now VA’s resident routines guru, Prophet excels at crafting effective, emotionally compelling routines for his students based on stories from their own lives. In addition to coaching at bootcamps in Toronto and abroad, he also offers personalized routine stacks covering everything from opening to setting up the date, getting the number, and that all-important first kiss.

Aside from his work as an instructor/site admin for Venusian Arts, Prophet works as an independent contractor with a large software firm located in London England that loves to fly him back and forth across the Atlantic. He also runs his own business with a couple of friends developing web and mobile applications for companies and organizations. In his spare time, Prophet looks for cool things for he and his friends to create. In addition to the breakfast machine he’s building in kitchen with his roommates this winter, he’s also completing a high-altitude weather balloon to photograph the earth from near-space with the help of a brilliant blonde bartender who told him about the idea. When he’s not busy on one of his many projects, Prophet is usually out on the town with his friends and loved ones seeking adventure and excitement at the city’s many events and attractions.
