A guy tests modern Pick-Up-Artist techniques against the 16th-Century "Book of the Courtier"

Full Disclosure: My friend wrote this article. It's the first time he's been published, so I'm super-psyched for him. I think it's a great piece as well, though.

I originally posted this to reddit.com, then I found this sub and thought it fitting.

And part 2

First off, props to him. Secondly, a red knit ski cap might count as peacocking, but sounds silly to me. Thirdly the writing implies clear bias against the game. Fourthly it is far easier (IMO) to act the castiglione part, but too easy to look like an asshole running game. I might have missed the part in the mystert method that talks about one upping everything.

Basically I don't think your friend knows enough game to write thius article objectively. His number close in part 2? They'll flake or LJBF him.

From part two:

The pair had recently graduated from the New School with degrees in fashion design but I didn't really care. In order to assert my higher status I had to constantly one-up their achievements. They had graduated with one degree; I'm graduating with two. They've never been to McSorley's; McSorley's is my spot. I bombarded them so quickly with boasts they didn't even have a chance to comment on my silly ski hat.

I think he's doing it wrong.
