The subliminal message will be "buy watches for all your friends".

Funny thing is, those things will probably work if you believe in it.  :bullshit:
The almighty placebo effect. >:D

When grandmother died I ended up with a cuckoo clock, it seems to work in a similar manner.

If it's aimed towards the male market, why is it showing flowers and kittens? (Unless this is its pick-up method: girls are apparently easily bowled over by cute kittens.)

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they sell a fair few.

When will we be able to colonize mars? Is Elon Musk going to be the first president?

As you are an expert at Internet dating, gym trainer and EE...

You are the perfect candidate to review this product!

You could even do a competing product with better pickup girl features!

What do you think of binaural pulses? Are they useful? That's probably what they use for the purpose of changing brain waves.

He can't, he was born in South Africa.

A constitutional amendment could solve that! That's what happened in Demolition Man! :)

And mars could be just like another state if colonized by US, so he can be some kind of governor.

Anyway, mars could declare independence even if it's a colony of some country. But I think that might need a civil war, because I'm sure they would do massive extracting of natural resources if space travel from/to earth becomes fast and cheap.

Well they made 0 bucks in 10 days, so successful launch I guess. Must be because the lack of Bluetooth 4.0  :palm:

Pick up artist wanna-bees are stupid, but apparently, not that stupid. Or they wouldn't be caught dead wearing that on their wrist.

At least it's the first campaign that we have seen that openly declares that if you purchase this product then you are guaranteed to get screwed, one way or another.

Do you mean desperate men with lack of self-esteem, proper reasoning due to depressive symptoms, idealization of women and sexual relationships? Those are condemned to get ruined by these self-help books, courses, unethical psychologists (there's lots of them), religions, sects and even corporate pyramidal sects (such as Herbalife, I'm amazed they are still legal and even own a sports team).

The true maestros of pickup artistry learned it all from Daves book.

A hardcore EE that managed to get a couple and a cute son, that's a really amazing archivement!

I definitely trust more his empirical results than those manufactured posers. He managed to form a family and dedicate to his passion, combining it with forming a family and not needing to disguise in some kind of pathetic "pickup assist" subproduct. He's true to himself, not trying to be another person.

And that's part of the reason he's both entertaining and diactical: Be does what he really likes and isn't afraid to express naturally about his opinions.

They train you to be a psychopath. I've talked with someone about the book, they tell you to just ask 50 girl the obvious wrong opening line (the one with sex in it). Because one might say yes. And they bring up statistics. It is creepy, and wrong on so many levels.
I'm sure there is a proper term for this psychological misbehavior. I wouldn't call it art for sure.

Oh come on, I'm sure Daves book isn't a psychopath training manual  ;)

I knew a guy who would do that thing when out on the town. We called it "the scattergun" approach. Quite amusing to watch. Apparently it did work for him on occasion, but I only ever witnessed the cringeworthy fails.

Anyway what kind of wingman would you be? Too much negging dude!  :-DD

Reminds me of how many seemingly impossible street magic acts are done. Pick a card from the deck and you can simply guess it. Record enough failed guesses and you'll finally guess right and get one amazing trick that goes to air.

"designed to play subliminal messages that your ear cannot hear but your brain does (below 20Hz)."

So my brain doesn't need a sensory organ to pick up sound waves? No point in having these so called ears flapping around then, let me take care of them Van Gogh style.

This is entirely true. Many of these pickup artists (PUAs) are just rapists who rape for a living and then teach other men to rape too. Seriously, steer well clear of those guys. Here are a couple of quotes from the notorious Roosh V's books:

Quote
While walking to my place, I realized how drunk she was. In America, having sex with her would have been rape, since she couldn’t legally give her consent. It didn’t help matters that I was relatively sober, but I can’t say I cared or even hesitated.

I won’t rationalize my actions, but having sex is what I do.

Quote
After dinner we went upstairs and I eased her onto my king-size bed. It took four hours of foreplay and at least thirty repetitions of “No, Roosh, no” until she allowed my penis to enter her vagina. No means no—until it means yes.

The sex was painful for her. I was only the second guy she’d ever had sex with. … She whimpered like a wounded puppy dog the entire time, but I really wanted to have an orgasm, so I was “almost there” for about ten minutes. After sex she sobbed for a good while, talking about how she had sinned in the eyes of God, but in an hour she got horny again and we went at it once more.

Seriously, avoid those guys at all costs. I don't know how Roosh has avoided jail, or how many of his disciples haven't.


Because they are professional liars, they tell fake personal stories or do massive embellishments over them.

There's lots of these people and these kind of communities born everywhere, having pyramidal schemes to sell other members all kind of courses, seminars, books and videos. A known one is "Mystery", another one is "Style".

They just get very tiny amounts of true (don't be shy to talk, have self confidence, have some clothing style good for you...), tons of pseudoscience terms, lots of lies and lots of shitty and boring tales about their experiences as some kind of pornographic text.

Anyway, these kind of assumptions would need some kind of criminal investigation. They might be fake or not, but they promote sexual harassment.

Geeks and Nerds are some of the main targets of these scammers. Let's face it: Our passions aren't still so attractive to most women.

I think thinking that may be a self fulfilling prophecy. Even if they don't see what attracts you to the subject many will find the passion itself endearing, especially if you have above average skill and/or knowledge in the subject. And you've got to remember there are also just as many geeky/nerdy women out there as blokes. Most of them may not be in the same fields as most geeky/nerdy guys but they will definitely understand and appreciate your passions.
