A lot of misinformation about pick-up in this thread. Go watch either season of The Pick-Up Artist and you'll quickly realize that aside from Mystery wearing some outrageous outfits, absolutely no one was advocating that guys actually dress like that. In fact, the make over episodes of the show were very effective at turning lame looking guys into men with a decent level of style.
I've associated with PUA style club clowns and guys who run styles of game that this forum approves of and there isn't much difference, except that the PUA types consistently approach.
The guys who I've seen get the best pussy have always been heavily Mystery influenced players.
There are pictures floating about of Mystery hanging with Strauss and some of the guys named in The Game circa 2005. Mystery is wearing his typical goth magician clothes. Which works for him as he is a goth magician. The other guys, including Strauss, look absolutely retarded.
Strauss and some of the other affiliated guys did advocate "peacocking." Which may have been misunderstood and exaggerated, but not by much. Mystery and other PUAs may have done things differently, and I have no doubts that they did well, but Strauss himself advocated some really weird things. On his Annihilation video series I remember him telling guys to wear around town an empty shoulder holster. That's not peacocking, that's retarded.
