yep, the jerk aka asshole usually ends up getting the girl, because subsconciously the girl is attracted to it, then he breaks her heart, gets jaded, and then falls for an asshole again...

The movie HANGIN' WITH THE HOMEBOYS explains this perfectly.

Really enjoying this show... I'm surprised Pradeep made it as far as he did and I'm glad he's gone... Now that there's only 2 left, we're only up to Episode 8... is this season only 8 episodes or will there be more challenges after?

Yep, only 8 episodes. Final episode has Brady and Kosmo trying to train two "losers" they find on the street...That is their final test...

Let me guess, the street outside the William Morris Agency, and the guys turn out to be good looking and toned, but just kinda shy.

I figured Kosmo was an actor from day one. I mean, his name is f'ing Kosmo and he's not horrible looking like the rest of the group. He can't get a girl because he's "too hyper"... wtf does that mean? The show is a total scam but fun to watch.

He actually acted like he just came up with that name in episode 2 or 3, when in the demo reel on the website I posted, it shows he has been using it for a long time...Brady has a total model look to him. Why again did this guy have problems? The only ones I really bought on this show as "nerds" were Scott and Spoon. On the vh1 website it says Kosmo is a videogame programmer...right......

I don't even really care that much if some of the contestants are just pretending to be nerds.

I really just like to watch the hidden camera field tests. They don't look staged at all.

No, I've seen jerks get the pretty girls. I've also landed in the dreaded "friend zone" by not making the right moves. I'm just saying the routines Mystery and the other guys use are lame and stupid.

Well, if it's lame & stupid it's gonna work on girls.
That's why girls stay with guys that beat them and other stuff.
Cause they are stupid.
At least the hot ones.

I agree that Mystery is goofy looking and some of his methods are kinda lame, but I think the real point of the show and how to pick up women is that you need to be confident and outgoing. That is exactly what Mystery is. He doesn't care who he talks to or how he talks to them. The point is: he's TALKING to them.

The hardest part for "average joes" like most of us on this board is seeing a beautiful girl and actually having the confidence to talk to her and come up with material to keep her interested.

I think the show is fun to watch even if half the guys are actors. I just wish it wasn't a "Survivor" type show and more of a "Biggest Loser" where all the guys stayed on. Maybe it wouldn't make for as good of drama though.

That's the feeling I got after watching about 10 minutes of this guy. He's a total cheese ball. The only gals who would fall for him are bubble heads.

Better to be with a bubblehead on a Saturday night than to be at home playing PLAYSTATION.

Well call me a bubblehead because for whatever reason I'm drawn to this dude, although I argued about his methods, that was before I saw him in action. Mystery, with his fuzzy hat and stupid goggles...is somehow very attractive and I started digging his cheeseball methods and vocabulary.

Sadly, I want this man. I am ashamed, but I'm being honest.

It'd actually be really funny if this host guy got accused of rape or something along those lines, since he seems to think he's "the master" at picking up women.

I would love to see the woman that is hip to his game, gorgeous and immune to his mack abilities. I'm sure he'd have a breakdown.

Even he gets rejected. It wouldn't bother him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got rejected almost as often as some of the guys on the show. It's hard not to laugh when you see him in his get up.

Peacock theory. Whee interesting shit that makes you stand out and a girl can comment on an interesting item and it creates something....like...I dunno.....Mystery?

Give Mystery his props!
Guys no hitter ever hit .1000 in baseball.
And Mary Tyler-Moore turned down Elvis's advances so there.
Too many bitter playstation, stay at home Saturday nighters hating when they should be taking notes!

It's all about sales. The more you try to sell, the more you'll strike a sale. Nobody hits 1.000 in life or sales, but the more you try the more you succeed.

Myster isn't the douchebag on this show -- it's those f'ing posers J-Dog and Matador --- J-Dog (come on, say it) J-Dog.... are you f'ing kidding me???


One thing I do agree with is the the theory of back-handed compliments. Too many beautiful women know they're hot and hear it all the time. Sometimes they need to be told that their nails are nice - even though they're fake.

I don't sit at home on a Saturday night playing PLAYSTATION. I don't even own one. You seem to think that anyone who thinks this guy is cheesy is a lonely nerd.

Very sadly I'm not.

Trust me, this is disturbing enough to warrant an intervention from my friends.
