The Pick Up Artist

[Rennah]

This show is kinda trashy but still funny and entertaining.

On the first episode of the 2nd season, the nerds & dweebs get makeovers - including eyebrow piercings and chest waxes!

The point of the show is to teach them how to pick up women in a social situation.

Does anyone watch it? What do you think?

Mystery is kinda hot... he looks a lot like a guy I know (minus the long hair).

i love it, some of them look hot after their makeovers...

i don't quite see mystery as being hot... the goggle+cowboy hat thing confuses me. he seems like a nice enough guy, but if I were out and he came up to me I would be like uhhh, WTF

[Rennah]

Oh yeah, the goggles are a no.

haha a definate no!! did you see the guy who's braid they cut off? he was actually soo cute after his makeover. and the guy with the gap was cute, but they need to tell him to chill out.. he's just a little too much.

I absolutely hate this show. I've seen clips of it and it's so degrading, for both the nerds who are trying to pick up women, and the women who are seen as chattel, apprently only put on this planet solely to be "picked up" by men. This show is everything that I loathe. I saw an interview with that dude, Mystery or whatever, and I thought wow, I've never seen a bigger loser.

[chocolategoddes]

Part of me sees it as degrading, like MissCheivous said.
But in a way, these guys are gaining self-confidence through the process and are feeling better about themselves.

I think Mystery's pretty hot in a creepy magician kinda way.
I also like his wing-man, Matador.
He's like a sexy, bad-boy Aladdin. I wouldn't mind flying on his magic carpet.

EDIT: I looked up a clear picture of him. He's a total butterface. :/

[burnitdown_x]

Damn, I agree... I really don't believe that he can instantly attract girls, as he makes it seem. If Mystery ever came up I'd probably puke.

[kimmae17]

yeah its degrading, but the guys knew what they were getting into. and i am sure the girls at the bar have to sign some release for them to appear on tv right?? i saw it last night and it was SO entertaining! haha i agree the guy with the braid looks sooo much better after the makeover

[PuterChick]

I can't stand Mystery, I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire! Just not my type.

[xStarryEyedX]

LMAO!!! i agree.

[Dreamergirl3]

lol, Mystery totally reminds me of the Monarch from Venture Bros!

[M.A.C. head.]

I've seen this show in passing and I'd makes me want to barf.

I mean, I'm all for shy guys getting help with their swagger, but they should have had a better host.

Mystery? C'mon. He's not hot in the least, his voice is annoying and he's SO not suave.

[MAC_Whore]

OK, I had to click on the link. I watched a bit from the second season.

"Mystery" and "Matador"? lol WTF? They are so sleazy? I really hope they are paying those girls in the club, cuz who falls for that?

Would someone tell Mystery that he isn't in the Matrix? lol

[chocolategoddes]

I also have to say, I hate how they made them over to wear the douchiest outfits. The same old dark jeans, button down shirt, fedora, dress shoes... they look like they raided my dad's closet. Not saying my dad is a douche... he just dresses like one!

You crack me up!

[jardinaires]

I watch it. Mystery looks a hot mess though, sometimes i question his clothing choices.

lmaooooo! You are hilarious.

Who's a butterface? Mystery or Matador?

[Rennah]

BTW I had the link to the first season up because when I posted this, the page for the 2nd season wasn't up on VH1's site yet.

Link is fixed.

Matador. I mean, he's not THAT bad looking but his body is BANGIN'.
The same way Mystery's giant fuzzy hat, man jewelry, and goggles take over for him.

Mystery calls them "tools" to attract and interest girls, but part of me thinks he's hiding behind all that clothing and accessory. Maybe he isn't as confident as we all think he is.
Without all those "toys", would he be able to get the same attention?

Eat that, Mystery!

I agree with every single thing you've said 100%.

And seriously, if some dude like Mystery approached me, I'd laugh in his face so hard.

[xsnowwhite]

haha I am sorry but I cant stand the show. Mystery( I think thats the main host, right?) Is just so ridiculous, idk who would take advice from him. Ever. Ugh I just cannot stand him in any way!

[chocolategoddes]

Haha. I like the little tidbits they share about the guys.
Some of them are like, "too hyper" or "people think he's gay"... but one of the guys (Rian, I think?) had "never touched a boob".
I don't know why I found that so hilarious but I laughed my ass off when i read it!

Their challenge where they had to make out with that chick in the dark was kind of gross, though.

[angelique☆]

I read an interview with that Mystery guy in a magazine here years ago, the guy is a complete and utter douchebag. As MissChievous and others have pointed out, he (and the whole show) seem to promote the idea that women are just objects to be "pulled", not individual human beings with thoughts and feelings with whom you foster meaningful relationships.

ETA: Chocolategoddes, just wanted to say I love ur sig, that Rick James video is one of my favourites of all time!
