Is Rational Intelligence a Spandrel? (Warning, Long)

November 1st, 2008 · 4 Comments

You’re probably thinking to yourself, “What the hell is a spandrel?”, and “what the heck does this have to do with picking up women?”. And the answers are “a concept in evolutionary biology which is inspired by architecture” and “not too much”.

New Tenmagnet & Cajun Pickup Video

October 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Last summer, Cajun and I went out a few times with a video camera to try and make some pickup videos with the idea of eventually making a product or something out of it.
Anyway, I got busy with school, and the product idea kind of got put on the shelf. We’ve been sitting on the [...]

Update on Mantalk.ca - Canada’s Pickup and Dating Messageboard

October 13th, 2008 · No Comments

I want to apologize a bit, because I’ve been neglecting Mantalk.ca (Canada’s Pickup and Dating Messageboard) for the past few weeks, while I’ve been in Ireland and the U.K.
Anyway, I want to make sure everyone knows that Mantalk is still going on, and since I haven’t done the draw yet, I’m going to keep the [...]

Thoughts from Glasgow

October 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Cajun and I are just on our way out of Scotland, on our way for a surfing vacation in Ireland before we head to the Lovesystems/Mystery Method Corp. Superconference Oct 16th.
Glasgow has been a great experience. And I thought I’d pass on some things I’d noticed about Scotland.
1 - Bars and Clubs don’t seem to [...]

Ever wonder what people are thinking about you?
Have you ever seen a group of people chattering and laughing and maybe looking at you, and wonder if they’re talking about you? Then, do you wonder whether they’re saying good or bad things about you?

David Duchovney in Rehab For Sex Addiction

August 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

David Duchovney, one of my heros, has gone to rehab for sex addiction.
For those of you who don’t know why I love David Duchovney, I am a MASSIVE fan of the TV show Californication. For some reason, I see a bit of myself in Hank Moody.

How important are looks?

August 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I noticed that Thundercat’s blog is talking about looks vs personality, and how they relate to pickup. I thought I’d chime in since it appears to be the topic du jour.
I have to confess; I don’t think I’m an ugly guy. I don’t think I’m that good looking either, I’m kind of neutral.
Women used to [...]

New Opener - Tenmagnet’s Retard Opener

August 17th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This is an opener I’ve been using here and there, mostly because it’s hilarious. I’m probably going to hell for putting this on the internet, but whatever. Retards are funny.
This opener actually works REALLY well about a third of the time, not so well another third of the time, and a third of the time [...]
