25 World’s Greatest Pick Up Artists

So you’ve been hearing a lot about pick up artists and the seduction community lately, but have no idea who these people are. Here I present to you, in no particular order, the world’s best pick up artists.

Mystery (Erik Von Markovich)

The star of Vh2′s reality show, The Pick Up Artist, Mystery is a long time member of the seduction community and is known for his systematic method for picking up women. Mystery came onto the scene in direct opposition to the Speed Seduction hypnosis style of game that was popular at the time. He developed an indirect style where the pickup artist would move from various stages of attraction, comfort and seduction called The Mystery Method. This method became the basis for many of today’s seduction models and has been used by Mystery to train many of today’s best pick-up artists.

Brad P

A rising star in the seduction community, BradP is famous for his fearless attitude and unique concepts on creating a sexual identity. His concepts on seductive fashion and sexy stereotyping is one of Brad’s key areas of expertise. He has also been consistently pushing the envelope in advancing new ideas in attracting women. As Brad’s skills and knowledge continue to improve it is likely he will be THE best pick-up artist within the next few years.

David DeAngelo (Eben Pagan)

DeAngelo aslo known as Eben Pagan has been around since the beginning of the seduction community and was one of the first to start offering seminars. DeAngelo’s concept of Cocky and Funny has been a basic principle in seduction since the start and combined with his marketing skills, he is largely credited with kick starting the modern seduction industry.

Style (Neil Strauss)

Hailed as the king of the un-naturals. Neil Strauss catapulted to the top of the seduction community after the release of his best selling book The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists. In the book, Strauss chronicles his journey from an average frustrated chump to one of the world’s best pick-up artists. Though Style was mainly a student of Mystery he became skilled at learning and combining the methods of many of the top seducers, essentially becoming the Bruce Lee of seduction.

Tyler Durden

A main character and also controversial figure in The Game, Tyler Durden became renown for his analytic breakdown of seduction in his posts on popular seduction message boards. After a falling out with Mystery and Style, Tyler Durden went on to found his own company Real Social Dynamics. Now Tyler and his crew have evolved from the old ways of Mystery’s teachings and to a new natural transformation style of teaching and seduction.

Gambler

The head of the leading European seduction company, PUA Training, Gambler’s reputation as a top pick-up artist has been growing by leaps and bounds. Like Style, he has trained with many of the world’s best seducers to become well versed in all areas of pickup. He uses tried and true seduction fundamentals as the basis of his teachings yet supplements them with new cutting edge techniques resulting in a powerful system of attracting beautiful women.

Matador

Known as Mystery’s wingman on Vh2′s The Pick Up Artist, Matador has a cocky yet suave style of seduction, known for quickly swooping under the radar to seduce beautiful women while simultaneously having Mystery’s back.

Dave M.

The owner of the Insider Internet Dating system, Dave M’s specialty is seducing women over internet dating sites. Through years of experimentation; trial and error; and hundreds of dates achieved through sites like Match.com and Facebook Dave has become an expert in this niche area of seduction.

Juggler (Wayne Elise)

Juggler, originally a comedian is one of the community’s top proponents of direct natural game. He has amassed a large following and coached many great pick-up artists such as Johnny Savior, SocialHitchhiker, and Dimitri using his easy going charismatic style of seduction. He has also been featured in the UK’s reality show Seduction School which aired in 2006 and runs his own company called Charisma Arts.

Gunwitch (Allen Reyes)

Known for his deadly direct style of game, Gunwitch came into the community with a completely different style of seduction which didn’t use routines, hypnosis, or any other type of indirect pickup. Gunwitch Method is simple at it’s core, utilizing the pick-up artist’s own “sexual state” to induce the desire for sex in the women you’re trying to attract. The method, though simple is not for the faint of heart and usually involves a little more rejection than most pickup artists are used to, however, used correctly can be an extremely powerful tool in any seducer’s arsenal.

Ross Jeffries

The supposed inspiration for the character Frank T.J. Mackey in the movie Magnolia, Ross Jeffries is the founder of Speed Seduction. Jeffries uses a hypnosis type of strategy to seduce women. Using techniques such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), he can not only change his own state of seduction but his target’s as well.

Sinn

Not to be confused with Sin from The Game, Sinn is a former top coach for Love Systems and has since branched off to coach for himself; evolving to a more advanced natural style of seduction. Sinn has been known to be confrontational in terms of calling out the abilities of other pick up artists and is currently at an all out war with Neil Strauss. And though he is not afraid to be frank about his opinions, Sinn consistently offers up some of the best advice and insights into seduction at his blog: Sinns of Attraction.

Mehow

A relative newcomer to the seduction community, Mehow has quickly risen to the ranks of the top pick-up artists in the last few years. A student of Mystery’s, Mehow has been refining his own unique style of seduction. He is also known for his amazing hidden camera pick-up videos that are now spreading throughout the Internet.

Vincent DiCarlo

Owner of Dicarlo DiClassified, Vin’s known area of specialty is in kino (kinesthetics). His focus is to seduce women through the power of touch. Through DiCarlo’s years of experience in attracting and seducing women he has developed a comprehensive system of attraction called the DiCarlo Escalation Ladder in which he uses kino in a series of steps to unlock a woman’s attraction switches.

Lance Mason

Founder of Pickup 101, one of the top dating coach companies in the country, Lance and Pickup 101 focus on natural and inner game. Mason and his crew are big believers in transforming the overall individual into leading an attractive life. They are also one of the few pick-up companies that specialize in day game seduction.

David Wygant

Though he doesn’t believe in “picking up women” Wygant is a big proponent of natural game. His focus is teaching men that in order to succeed with women that they need to lead interesting lives, become interesting people and be friendly with everyone. Wygant believes in always living in the moment and enjoying life because in the end it’s all about being happy.

Asian Playboy

A former student of Mystery’s and recently voted the world’s best Asian pick-up artist, Asian Playboy has developed his own method called the ABC’s of attraction. His focus is on dispelling the limiting beliefs of attraction in Asians and coaches many minorities on how to seduce beautiful women. His most recent research involves the concept of beginner’s hell.

David Shade

David Shade’s focus isn’t so much on how to pick-up women but on how to please them in the bedroom. His concept of seduction is to simply be amazing in bed, give women many orgasms and turn yourself into a sex god. The concept is simple, keep the women happy in bed and you’ll never be alone again.

Zan Perrion

Another proponent of natural game and leading an attractive lifestyle is Zan. Charming, elegant and romantic, Zan subscribes to the notion that all women are beautiful. His thoughts on the community is that there is too much emphasis on the “us” vs “them” mentality. He’d much rather have men focus on natural state and becoming a man who loves women, because, “a man who likes women is liked by women.” Visit Enlightened Seduction

Cory Skyy

A newcomer to the seduction community, Cory’s focus is on seductive eye contact. His company, Bad Boy With a Heart, is making big splashes with it’s simple and unique seduction method. Cory doesn’t teach you how to pick-up women, he teaches you how to get women to pick you up! He completely throws out the routines manual and puts major emphasis on body language and eye contact through what he calls “eye game.”

SwinggCat

A long standing member of the seduction community, SwinggCat is most known for his concept of Prizing in which the pick-up artist places a high value on himself. By seeing oneself as the prize rather than placing other people on a pedestal you can become more attractive. SwinggCat also consistently makes Thundercat’s yearly Top Ten Pick-up Artist list, coming in at number 1 for 2006.

Stephen Nash

A character in The Game and an original member of Project Hollywood, Stephen Nash has been billed as the real life Hitch. Nash’s company, Cutting Edge Image Consulting, focuses not just on picking up women but a style that is natural and holistic and can be used to lead healthy balanced lifestyle.

Sean Messenger

Former top coach for the Pickup 101 company and student of Lance Mason, Sean has quickly risen the ranks of seducers to transform himself into one of the best. With his new venture Sean has set out to teach men about having long lasting relationships with the women they love. He takes the emphasis out of bedding many women with nothing to show to having a really amazing relationship with just one woman.

Captain Jack

Another top coach for The Love Systems company, Captain Jack is most known for his ability to get same night lays (not to be confused with one night stands). His techniques are quick and powerful and has the ability to go from approaching to the bedroom in minutes.

Thundercat (Joseph Matthews)

A student of Mystery and Style, Thundercat, became most known through his popular and sometimes controversial blog, Thundercat’s Seduction Lair. His area of expertise is in the crucial fist step of approaching. His popular ebook Art of Approaching, became an instant favorite of aspiring pickup artists with it’s comprehensive breakdown on every newbie’s first stumbling block of approaching women.

Without further ado, we expose the 14 most famous pickup artists and their dating companies who currently grace our planet…

Dubbed the Daddy of the seduction community, Ross was mackin’ it from Day 1.

Armed with the power of the mind at his disposal, he prefers daygame and especially the peace and tranquillity of coffee shops to work his ‘magic’.

Pioneering the use of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques into his game, he has a crafty way with words to suggestively bring about the aura of sexual desires in his victims. It’s a powerful seduction technique, so powerful it’s controversial.

Ross created Speed Seduction – one of the first PUA products to ever hit the market. He continues to teach these unique techniques to scores of men and despite now being in his 50s, he doesn’t seem to have any problem picking up the ladies. Not bad going.

If you haven’t heard of Neil Strauss and his famous book: The Game, then you’ve had your head buried in the sand like an ostrich.

Back in 2005, Neil Strauss AKA ‘Style’ exposed the underground seduction community to the masses. Give your typical geek two years rubbing shoulders with the masters in seduction and what do you get? You get ‘Style’ the number 1 pickup artist in the world.

The Game chronicled his 2 years of conquests that included bedding the crème de la crème of LA and famously chatting up the likes of Courtney Love and Britney Spears.

Following the success of The Game, he founded Stylelife Academy where he continues teaching the secrets of modern day game to AFCs the world over.

Mystery (Erik Von Markovik) – Venusian Arts

You’re guilty of further sand burying if the name ‘Mystery’ doesn’t ring a bell. Mystery (Erik Von Markovik) is the inventor of modern day game and wrote The Mystery Method.

Have you heard of the terms; ‘peacocking’, ‘negging’ and the ‘3 second rule’? Well Mystery is your man behind this pickup lingo and the main protagonist of The Game – training Style to become the man he is today.

Mystery along with chief wing Matador, rose to stardom in Vh2’s The Pickup Artist in which they trained a pack of loveless hungry wolves to win over the ladies. Its safe to say, Mystery is the most famous pickup artist in the industry, I’m sure it’s hard to argue otherwise.

You can learn from the master without having to be on TV! Head over to Venusian Arts where Mystery together with Matador and Lovedrop teach their words of wisdom from the foundations with The Revelation Book and beyond.

Richard La Ruina (Gambler) – PUA Training

Time Out described Richard as ‘Britain’s answer to Neil ‘The Game’ Strauss’. Another classic example of geek turned ladies man, Nicknamed ‘gambler’ for his reckless yet rewarding investments on the stock markets as a young boy, Richard had it all bar one thing…women.

He set out learning the hard way, good old-fashioned trial and error. After years of pacing down the streets of London, it finally all made sense. In 2006, Richard founded PUA Training, now the UKs largest pickup company, boasting the likes of Andy Lyons (AFC Andy) in his team of many.

Their flagship products, Stealth Attraction and The Master Pick Up Artist University prove why PUA Training is the UK’s number 1. Read our Stealth Attraction review to understand why.

Need some inspiration to start learning pickup? Check out some of Richard’s YouTube videos and pop over to his Facebook page. There seems to be a common theme – he’s always outnumbered by an abundance of gorgeous girls. Safe to say, we are very jealous…

Once upon a time a real estate agent, soon bored, decided to try his hands learning the dating game.

David soon developed a ‘cocky funny’ approach that became popular in the pickup community – a combination of self-confidence with a sense of humour. His Double Your Dating course is his most acclaimed work amongst many others.

David was depicted in The Game where we learned his wicked ways with the waitresses (pleural of course) in a local café. And no, he didn’t charm them with heavy tipping.

Where do we start with these guys? The 3 musketeers – we wouldn’t dare separate them for this post.

They have caused a storm, commandeering stardom in a flash with the power to make pickup look as easy as 1,2,3. But how did they do this? By wearing comical outfits and pulling off outrageous stunts in the aim of number closing of course… We think its genius.

The following video explains all. We recommend you sit down and watch this with a glass of port…

But it’s not all fun and games, these guys are serious about helping improve your game. Simple Pickup offers a variety of courses to set you well on your way to manhood.

Tyler Durden is a famous name in the pickup community and for all the right reasons (not Project Mayhem). Tyler, (Owen Cook) is one of the originals from the movement back in the Project Hollywood days.

Although Tyler’s character was depicted rather negatively in The Game, you can’t criticize his pickup skills. He is one of the co founders behind Real Social Dynamics with Papa and Co. Their business is said to the largest dating company out there.

They offer bootcamps around the world and an assortment of products to study the arts, most popular of which being BluePrint Decoded offering 20 DVDs of audio and video content. Not too shabby.

JT Tran is a self described ‘Asian hitch’, as it says on the tin, he’s pretty handy at training Asian men the art of pickup.

He teaches hoards of men self-confidence and communication skills to prepare them for battle through his reputable dating company – ABCs of Attraction.

A former student of Mystery’s bootcamps, JT throws up something completely new – a style favoured to Asian tastes. His book, The Modern Asian Man is a concoction of his dating formula that has taken 7 years in the making to get juuust right. Yum.

Often described to be the #1 dating coach. Nick is the don at Love Systems. With the company originally set up in the comfort of his own apartment, Love Systems soon made waves to become one of the most popular dating companies out there.

A large amount of their success is thanks to Magic Bullets, the holy grail of all things seduction which was written by Nick Savoy himself.

Lovesystems boasts a 20+ workforce of qualified instructors, including Braddock who, being a young college graduate, throws in a youthful punch for the team. Braddock is the mastermind behind the popular writings – Beyond Words, and Social Mastery, ensuring Love Systems has something for everyone.

If there were a crown awarded for the best at daygame, it would be firmly resting on Andy’s head. When the sun is shining look out for this guy – he roams the streets day in day out hunting down the talent that London has to offer.

A former instructor with PUA Training, Andy specialised at daygame teaching his minions the art of getting more than just a cappuccino.

Andy set up Daygame.com in 2010 and has been teaching alongside Yad and Co the secrets of daylight number closing ever since.

Most of us (me included) seem to only turn our game face on at night, missing out on the fruits of the day. And by jingo are those fruits the exotic ones. The art of catching girls off guard is the beauty of daygame.

How to do it? Best check out Daygame Blueprint – your very own daygame bible to worship. You’ll become a local at Starbucks in no time.

Another father style figure, it seems like John Sinn has been in the game forever. John was instructing back in the Mystery Method days before becoming a popular instructor with the Love Systems team.

John set up Sinns of Attraction – a PUA company based in Los Angeles teaching his own style of pickup focusing on natural attraction.

Seduction Roadmap is his flagship product that breaks down the seduction into concrete steps, I guess a bit like an Ikea manual for building a chest of drawers… yet far more rewarding.

A man of royalty when it comes to picking up women, Robert King AKA Kingy is a leader of men. Step aside Queen Elizabeth II; this guy can attract more women than you have Colonies under your belt.

In 2012 Kingy wrote The Pick Up Game where you can gain an insight into the modern game. He teaches under his dating business PUA Method – a training driven company with bootcamps and residential courses instructing men the world over from England and Norway to America.
Spiritual self-development is a central theme throughout his teachings. His stories of travelling the world with monks are sure to brush off on you in a good way.

A natural. Need I say no more?

This guy flips pickup on its head, instead of using routine after routine, Zan’s method is more about bringing out passion and delight in a women by creating a fantasy. A self proclaimed “student of women”, Zan focuses on love rather than pickup.

Zan set up The Ars Amorata and trades his masterpieces under the Way of Attraction. No surprises that his flagship product is called The Way of the Natural, a DVD course that lays the foundations of his Casanova style teachings.

Dubbed to be the first pickup artist from the UK, Beckster is something of a celebrity dating coach with over 10 years of experience in the game.

In the early days Beckster was a part of PUA Training before breaking off on his own with The Beckster Lifestyle. This guy has got seriously good chat and reminds us all that excessive peacocking is not essential.

Beckster conducts bootcamps internationally and often works alongside Mystery and Matador in London. Last I heard of it, the three of them were seen sarging the West End in October.

Beckster differentiates himself from the crowd by being more of a dating coach – teaching both men and women. Bit of a cupid by the sound of things…

So that’s a wrap!

Hide wives and girls a pikaper writes to Kazakhs and publishes a fake

Scandalous Russian blogger, pikaper and “sex coach” (as he calls himself) Alexander Kirillov , known under the pseudonym Alex Lexley announced that will arrive on November 19 in Almaty , despite the ban on entry into Kazakhstan. He announced his training in Almaty “on seducing Kazakh women”.

“Hide wives and girls”
Kirillov wrote to the Kazakhs in his instagram (just like that with a mistake in the word “hide”)

Kazakh public activists were outraged by Kirillov's announcement and strongly opposed the arrival of a Russian citizen in Kazakhstan who demonstrates such disrespect for Kazakh family traditions and values.

Conservative public figure of Kazakhstan Mukhamedzhan Tazabek urged “by any means to close the road to a Russian”, who, according to Tazabek, planned to “teach Kazakh girls about promiscuity”.

After a public outcry, the police of Kazakhstan on November 16 in their official telegram channel confirmed the relevance of the ban on Alexander Kirillov from entering the republic for a year.

Message from the telegram channel of the Police of Kazakhstan, confirming the ban on Alexander Kirillov (Alex Lexley) from entering Kazakhstan

Activists in Almaty were waiting for the pickup guru on November 19, but Alex Leslie did not arrive. A video appeared on the network with a group of about 30 young people who said that they had come to meet the blogger and wrote statements to the police asking them not to let the pick-up artist into the country.

“Good afternoon, people of Kazakhstan. Today, November 19, 2022, Russian citizen Alex Leslie, who insulted and spoke badly about our Kazakh girls, sisters, should arrive. Kazakh jigits gathered to meet him at the Almaty airport, because it hurts our pride”
said one of the activists in the video

Citizen of the Russian Federation Alexander Kirillov under the pseudonym Alex Leslie, known in his homeland for his scandalous antics, book and training on seducing women, this time wished to teach the “art of a pickup truck” in Kazakhstan. Leslie said that he was launching the training “Who will find the hottest Kazakh woman” in the southern capital of the Kazakh Republic.

Alex Leslie rose to fame in 2019 after his arrests in Thailand and Russia. His partner, escort Nastya Rybka (real name Anastasia Vashukevich), claimed that the couple had audio and video recordings proving Russian interference in US elections. The intervention, she claimed, was discussed in her presence by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko while on holiday on Deripaska's yacht.

The team of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny released an investigation on this matter, which claimed that the persecution of Rybka and Leslie was initiated by Deripaska. The couple were later released.

Rebuttal of his travel ban to Kazakhstan,
published by Alex Lexley

Despite the November 16 public confirmation by law enforcement that he was banned from entering Kazakhstan, Alexander Kirillov said he did not believe in the ban and would fly to Almaty anyway.

“There is no ban, otherwise they wouldn't even put me on the plane. Meet me in Kazakhstan, I'm flying to you”
wrote the pickup guru in his stories, posting a video from the plane.

On the same day, several videos appeared in Leslie's stories, allegedly from Almaty airport. However, attentive users double-checked them and stated that most likely it is fake :

allegedly about his arrival at Almaty airport 19november

“On the left is someone's story from Almaty airport, and on the right is Alex Leslie. Apparently, the “pickup guru” just overdubbed someone else's video, and in fact, he is not in KZ. There will be no fight. Disperse”
commented on the fake videos of the Russian pick-up artist Telegram channel Qumash.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan promised to carefully study the statements of the “sex instructor” and take appropriate measures, but the Kazakh authorities noted that state bodies should officially respond and comment only on official statements from other states. However, in this case, the Kazakh authorities still had to give official comments, since the behavior of the Russian brawler offended broad sections of the population of the republic, and caused strong condemnation of the defenders of Kazakh national values and traditions.
