Not every guy’s got game when it comes to the opposite sex. That’s why ladies’ man extraordinaire Mystery is back with a second season of The Pickup Artist. On the reality competition, he schools nine would-be Romeos in the art of seduction and takes them to meet women as hidden cameras follow their progress. The pupil who learns Mystery’s moves best will bag $50,000, which he could use to start a love pad of his own.
So how does the expert school the love-challenged? In one training exercise, the socially awkward contestants – including a 21-year-old who’s never kissed a girl – mingle with a group of elderly women, removing sexual attraction from the equation. "Then when they go to a nightclub, they have that no-pressure experience to fall back on and can think, ‘I have to be the way i was with the old ladies,’" says Mystery, 37.
Here are Mystery’s three keys for a guy to be a successful pickup artist. he’s not worried if they get out, because, as he says "You can reveal everything about the pickup to women, and it will still work!"
1. PLAY UP TO A GIRL’S PALS.
A practiced pickup artist doesn’t just chat up the pretty girl he’s been scoping out in a bar. He also gets in good with her friends! "Women of beauty are rarely alone; they’re usually in a group," says Mystery. "A guy must go in and talk to everybody…without ruffling the feathers of guys or making the girls feel uncomfortable."
2. SHOW NO FEAR.
Guys should act confident – even if they don’t feel confident – when getting to know a hottie. "You can be scared, but don’t show it," says Mystery. "It’s like having a pebble in your shoe. If you don’t walk with a limp, no one would know."
3. NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST.
Mystery’s students are taught to make sure the ladies they’re interested in know that they are nice guys, not players – even if they’re a bit of both. Says Mystery, "As long as you’re a good person and you can convey it, you’re going to trigger attraction mechanisms that are hardwired into women’s brains."
Now you know!

A second season of “The Pickup Artist” begins on VH1 Sunday (10-11 p.m. ) and no hour of TV this week can be more joyfully spent. Ostensibly, this is a show about how to attract women, following the “scientific method” developed by a professional picker-upper known as Mystery (aka Erik von Markovic). Its wider appeal is as pure theater, where a colorful cast does the oldest dance on earth.
With his ponytail, piercings, dark-painted fingernails and outlandish clothing, Mystery is not every woman’s cup of tea. Nature did not even endow him with a deep, manly voice. Yet as he and legions of devotees seem to have discovered, almost any guy can get into the game with just a few simple gambits. Like it or not, the basic strategy is sound: Make the beautiful girls feel insecure (they will respect you for it because most guys drool over them) and make all the others feel safe.
The real point, though, is to make men feel confident. On stage for training by Mystery, and as entertainment for us, are an assortment of young men so inept and unappealing, so geekish and freakish, that they seem beyond hope. Even after hair and apparel makeovers to erase the worst of their self-inflicted flaws, the essential nerdiness of these guys is verging on tragic, even as we laugh at them like the mean girls surely did in high school.
Perhaps their neediness is exaggerated for the show, but not entirely. When Mystery tells his charges that after training with him, they will one day be able to teach their sons the same skills. The looks on those suddenly hopeful faces could not easily be faked: Our sons! We will indeed become men!
Mystery is not the only instructor on the show, giving tips on dressing for success: “Do you look like the type of men that are sexually active?” There is wingman Matador, who appears to have raided the costume archive of “The Quest for Fire.” The mind boggles as we see (via hidden camera) women in a bar lining up to stroke his fur vest and nuzzle this 21st century hunter-gatherer.
“It’s like watching lions in a shepherd’s den!” an excited trainee exclaims approvingly. As wingwoman Tara certainly knows, however, the sheep can take care of themselves.
