Tribute to Mehow?

I'm working on a piece on Ross Jeffries, who has recently jumped the anti-pua bandwagon for hilarious effect. More on that soon, but to get you over the wait, here's another video, but this time it is not with but about Mehow:



I always thought this was a clear parody, but I just realized that it was on the Youtube account of DJFuji, one of Mehow's former "coaches". Apparently it was really meant to be a tribute, which only makes me chuckle.

...and now watch out, Ross Jeffries. You've got another day or two.

PUA Mehow awes the crowd. Here we go, "Chick Magnet"!

Our favourite Polish PUA who turned into a professional pickup coach after his first "lay", and the "mastermind" behind groundbreaking works of juvenile fiction such as "Get the Girl" and some must see DVDs, if you aspire to become a creep, appeared on TV again:



User "puaguru" from PUAHate, who discovered this masterpiece, commented:

What's funny is that all the normal people watching this leave hateful comments and make fun of him just like we do.

Here are some highlights from the comments, in raw unedited form. They also show that "common sense" is not that uncommon than you might think, if you've spent some time in the deluded seduction community.

First, before we get to the hilarious and possibly even insulting stuff, I've picked some objective ones:

it's ridiculous the amount of books by these so-called gurus on how to pick up girls.  Seems to me the primary motive is the green and they don't give a shit what results you get.

This whole pickup subculture, or whatever it is, is largely fake and it's not about seducing women, it's about seducing men, lonely, desperate men with unrealistic expectations in life.

Does he really pull that many?

"Give value". What a stupid goddamn tip. I don't care if this Mehow guy is "one of the hottest pick-up artists in the scene", I doubt he can pick up any pussy. If you want to pick up a woman you have to be a man. Let her know that you want to fuck her, don't act like this jackass.

this guy is a douche!lol..whenever any guy tells you he has all the answers100 percent, he aint got any!lol

There's also a classic exchange on "looks don't matter":

learning for personal experience . NOT books or waste hard earned money on useless boot-camps . Good looks only give a guy a 30 sec to a 1 min head start. If a girl finds out your boring or creepy that's when she will lose interest. A good example of ugly is singer & song writer Billy Joel . He married super model Chirstie Brinkley and had kids with her. That's huge accomplishment for a ugly dude.

This also proves that looks don't always win over the girl.

Reply:

billy joel also has millions of dollars you tool.

On RSDNation or Love System's forum saying the obvious truth like that will get you banned immediately, by the way.

But now it's time for some less respectful comments:

man fuk dis. i bet the only time this guys getting pussy is in a sex change

lol this guy is clearly gay.

Creeper! Wow girl magnet??

This is a joke right? what the hell is this guy talking about? no girl these days goes for this shit, yeah be funny but don't be a weirdo dork with miscellaneous jokes that no one understands

his head looks like a messed up cock!lol

This guy's full of shit. He has superficial manipulation written across his face. I can sense this bullshit a mile away.

has he got fucking cancer or some shit? mehow the retard PUA

He looks like Quentin Taratino's mongloid brother.

This guy pays for pussy.

I would pay money to see this guy pick up a girl and take her home... without paying her to come with him.

I couldn't force myself to click past page 10 or 11 of the comments because I had gotten enough "lulz".

So, is anyone of you betting that Mehow will put those testimonials up on his website anytime soon?

Putting the Fun back into Pickup

Given the rather high comic value of the pickup community, I always wondered why there aren't many people openly mocking fun of it and parody it. Admittedly, PUAHate is sometimes great at displaying the nonsense of the scene, but as far as parodies are concerned, not much has been around.

There were some attempts such as the hilarious article "Fast Seduction 101 and wikiHow" on Something Awful, which, among other things ridiculed the bizarre acronyms in use on mASF, and cited from retarded to downright scary posts. (Too bad they didn't cover some of the sickening "rape reports" such Gruenfeld's Hottie Hardcore LMR day2, but such is not funny but tragic and I hope that karma has gotten this a**hole by now.)

The article on Something Awful appeared over three years ago, but it didn't seem to catch on. Back then idiocy was about as rampant as it is nowadays, and Mehow had yet to appear on the scene.

Back then I also wasn't aware that developing an "insider vocabulary" was part of the marketing techniques, and it is actually part of the content of the products of fraudulent Internet marketers. For instance, convicted felon Frank Kern (who cut his teeth in the Internet marketing business by running a pyramid scheme) draws plenty of examples from the seduction industry. But people watching those programs apparently take it too seriously since they have paid serious money for it, or, in case of the US, just took out some more loans.

I also remember a parody of Mystery and Style in which a dude in horrible make up who calls himself "Misery" is teaching some geeks a couple of concepts from Mystery Method. His assistant has the name "Stylus". This was when the Nintendo DS was on the height of its popularity. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the video on Youtube.

What I did find, though, was this hilarious "tribute" to my favorite Polish PUA, Mehow:



I haven't heard anything from Mehow in a while. Rumors were that he wasn't doing that great these days, financially speaking. Then again, has he ever?

But none of this reached the extent of a thorough parody, but recently once guy crossed this threshold. He calls himself OGFurious. At first I wasn't sure whether he really is serious, but thankfully he has this message at the end of his videos:

Here is one of my favourites:



Indeed, unlike the other PUA videos which are unintentionally funny (again, Mehow comes to mind), this is a guy who makes parodies on purpose, and it's not bad at all.

Also check out this one:



Keep smiling. :)

(Thanks to JonniD for telling me about OGFurious).
