I got a call today from the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). They want to film me for a show on dating and nightlife in Montreal, and have me give some tips on picking up girls. Since it sounds like fun, I’m probably going to meet with one of the producers this weekend and get my face on TV. Woo.

Now, every time someone from the pickup community does something like this, people freak out. Posts start popping up everywhere about “is the word going to get out” and suddenly the stuff we teach isn’t going to work.

First of all, this whole issue lies on a false assumption - that the MM is about feeding guys a bunch of lines. It is not.

At the core, what we teach is how to act like a cool person. We just explain it in (dorky sounding), formulaic terms. And because we teach guys to develop their *OWN* stories, strategies and techniques, so that they’ll have an unlimited supply of things to say.

People have been worrying about the game being exposed forever, and it’s never going to happen. Sure, a few of the cheesier lines that guys use like who lies more, or (I hate this line) “Hey, I need a female opinion on something”, are going to get played out, but the core elements of what we teach will always work.

Besides, there actually aren’t that many guys worldwide who are going around opening with opinion openers. If you look at the life cycle of your average community guy, it goes something like this.

Stage 1: Reads online, but doesn’t open.
Stage 2: Starts opening, opens lots of sets and builds confidence.
Stage 3: Finally gets good, only opens a few sets a night, and develops his own openers.

Only the guys in stage two are using opinion openers, and they’re a small minority of the total number of guys in the community.

So anyways, for those of you guys who are afraid that “game” is played out, go out and talk to some women. If you do, you’ll realize very quickly that this stuff works. Period.
