Is this the same mehlman that creates resources for med school education?

I remember he got cancelled but the med student community after they discovered he also did pick up stuff.

But his medical resources are still some of the top highly used. He's botched his face more and more over the years with plastic surgery.

He's clearly autistic, but he got me through med school, so I'm sure he similarly knows his shit with PUA.

Glanced at it once. There's almost nothing i've not read and tested when it comes to game

It was in a similar realm as Mark Mansons 'models' (a favourite on seddit) in general terms, as it kind of tells you to drop all of the 'outergame' and techniques that don't work for anybody (that PUA's just mistakenly attribute any success to them things when in reality it was because he opened a girl who was attracted to him. i.e they pulled in spite of them things. Not because of them)

He emphasizes not caring about rejection and to realize it's all a dice roll. Take the stress out of it (which will also improve your subcommunications). Embrace the random element of it all. Her attraction isn't in your control. Certainly embrace the 'numbers game' element. His thing is that It's all about VOLUME as opposed to some magical 'skill' where you say the right magic words (because we are verbal and so all techniques come out as words) to make a girl attracted even if you are a million miles from her physical ideal/type!

So his system is built around high-volume cold approach as the only thing that matters

He also advocates for what he calls 'efficient dates'. Coffee meets where you try to pull her home within 10-25 minutes. It's very pragmatic, almost clinical

Finished his first book today, and considering getting the second.

He advocates cold approaches - about 20 per day - to help purge the fear of rejection until it becomes an automatic and organic thing to approach any woman without rejection concerns.

His approaches range from a "Hi" to "Hi, I'm Michael. I thought you were attractive and wanted to say hi" to "Hi, I'm Michael. I just wanted to say hi." Nothing else. He advocates for a deregulated convo approach, nothing scripted because if you screw up your "lines" then you'll come off as an insincere and awkward which will nuke the synchronicity of your speech.

His first dates don't go beyond 45 minutes. Usually, it's over coffee. During the first date, he discusses hobbies, particularly movies, then he invites them over to his pad to watch some. He's not a big fan of bars or clubs as places to pick up women because those places are expenses, women are not as impressed by your boldness to approach them in these settings, and the presence of alcohol makes it easier to use it as a crutch to overcome approach anxiety.

I believe his method does work and the book was worth it (purchased the Kindle version for bookmarking and highlights); it's just extremely clinical and brutal (initially) if you suffer from approach anxiety.

I plan on getting the second book (it's twice as expensive) only after I've practiced and mastered the lessons taught in the first.
