wow I was on that call all those years ago! crazy

Since then I have put in a lot of effort and have had some good success with PUA type stuff, much easier online because I can have a copy paste script that I use on Tinder and Adult Friend Finder to get laid.

cherrios36 · 2012-02-02T03:43:07+00:00

Hey guys!

You guys truly do rock!

Quick question...

When you talk to a girl, I have been told before to not compliment her as she won't think it is a challenge, but I see you guys compliment them all the time.

Do you have any advise on how nice or complimentary you should be? Meaning, should you just be a nice guy, or a "I dont really care, but I am talking to you anyways" type of guy, or does it really matter as asking her is most important?

Again, you guys are awesome, I hope you don't stop anytime soon! Good Luck in the future!

How do you not become attached to a girl you met / talked to?

itsafunnyname · 2012-02-02T04:05:32+00:00

I was at the grocery store late last night and made the move to chat up this girl there after remembering your quote:

"...They (guys) might make fun of you, but they're the ones just sitting there and watching the girls go by."

I'm looking forward to continuing to chat up strange women. Simple Pickup!

Jesse, when I first found your video, I couldn't believe to see another desi dude being good at pickup. I am curious about two things:

Are you an ABCD or an immigrant?
I live in NY and I find that white girls generally don't like Indians (I am guessing they have seen too many shitty desi boys). What's your experience like?

youtubeuser224 · 2012-02-02T03:39:13+00:00

How old are jesse, kong and jason?

Xstream2 · 2012-02-02T03:23:45+00:00

Whats the worst blow out/rejection out you've ever received? p.s. you guys kick all kinds of ass

SimplePickup2 · 2012-02-02T03:30:56+00:00

Have you guys ever picked up one girl together? awesome foursome style

JulianoS · 2012-02-02T03:26:33+00:00

My confidence is really low with my acne. Sometimes I don't even feel like going to events or socializing for that matter... because of this I can't talk to people closer than I usually would without being self conscious of my skin... if they get close I quickly back up or somehow look away from them and back up eventually.. What do I do ?

oiwin123 · 2012-02-02T03:14:08+00:00

hey guys! i love your videos but i was wondering if you could show us a video about a full pickup and not fragments of each pickup also: some tips about body language would be cool (cause its pretty confusing and if anyone tries to do these they really wont know what they are doing)

SimplePickup2 · 2012-02-02T06:07:44+00:00

Hey everyone, we ended at 10pm PST. Thanks for all of your questions. If you didn't get your question in, we'll be doing something like this again in the near future so don't worry! Also,we just started a forum! Post any more questions you have there: http://www.simplepickup.com/forum and post any questions there. Thanks again, see you soon.

Plasstik · 2012-02-02T03:43:24+00:00

A few questions:

What are your preferred ways of reducing approach anxiety after a period of inactivity, or do you guys have any exercises for keeping it down during periods of inactivity?
What's your favourite kind of approach or opener?
If you had to identify one thing that advanced your game more than any other, which would you choose?

homieboi · 2012-02-02T03:45:49+00:00

What should I say after saying the opener? After introducing myself?

kmn79179 · 2012-02-02T03:39:40+00:00

First off, just want to say you guys do a great job and prove that you can be successful at picking up girls without being a total dick.

My question is, of the 3 of you, who has the most success with getting numbers?

assrapedbylife · 2012-02-02T03:54:11+00:00

another question

were you guys all shy and quiet before doing this and how did you finally do your first approach?

arafatni · 2012-02-02T03:58:21+00:00

Do you guys do 1-on-1 coaching or willing to sarge with your fans? if you guys do 1-on-1 coaching how much is it ?

simkessy · 2012-02-02T03:35:13+00:00

can you show us a video of you having sex with them. I will need the full context to understand the process. For Science.

Misty_Chaos · 2012-02-02T03:37:28+00:00

Might as well as ask while I'm here.

I seem to have something of a ' mental block ' when it comes to women. Even if I try to approach and chat up a girl, something always seems to stop from going too far, even if I'm drunk!

What is the best way to overcome this block?

Can you honestly say everything you put on your channel is legit advice? Sometimes the tips you give just sound so odd that it seems like your messing with your more naive viewers to troll them.

Like baby powder for your balls? Is that a legit tip?

quietvan · 2012-02-02T03:46:32+00:00

I have this terrible weakness to opening. I can do everything well but the most frustrating part of my game is my opening. Generally, I just run direct approaches or just let my wing do the opener because of the way it makes me feel. Hell, my best closes are my openings from wings because I'm more consistent that way. By opening, what I mean is actually opening and transitioning.

tl;dr everything goes to hell when I open. Can you gimme a lil idea why and help me improve it? It really does hurt my game... ):

GhettoGosu · 2012-02-02T03:37:10+00:00

I've been seeing this chick for about 4 dates, I really dont have a problem talking to her or keeping conversation with her, I havent kissed her yet, I know its a big case of bitch butterflies but I was wondering what tips you could give me to either know if she wants me to kiss her or how to just get over the butterflies and do it.

JulianoS · 2012-02-02T03:40:52+00:00

How would I be more TOUCHY(kino) and flirty...? Rather than having boring conversations.. yo know to show more of what my interest REALLY is...

michaelernst9 · 2012-02-02T03:45:01+00:00

have you ever thought about bringing a guest star? or perhaps a regular guy like most of us to test his skills on the "field" and then maybe give them tips ?

Xstream2 · 2012-02-02T03:47:14+00:00

Whens the best time to go for the number? I can open almost any girl and have her laughing and enjoying the convo within a few seconds, but I usually wait too long to get her number, or I go too soon (and get flaked)

xxTin · 2012-02-02T04:10:22+00:00

Can you do a video on picking up chicks normally, in normal environments? I know that it wouldn't be as entertaining but we'd love to see how you go about approaching without funny/weird references.

testybabyy · 2012-02-02T03:47:52+00:00

Hey guys! I absolutely love your videos, your ideas, and mostly - you all! Being a girl, I can definitely agree with how you guys interact with women; eye contact, confidence, voice projection. I know it'd make my day if one of you came up to me and used your SimplePickUp ways!

My question is, if you guys have girlfriends outside of all of this, how do they view it? Or, do you just stay single for it all?

disregardthismessage · 2012-02-02T03:22:23+00:00

SimplePickup2 · 2012-02-02T03:36:15+00:00

Could you see yourselves in traditional marriages in the future?

I've been in pickup for a few years now. Seems to be really difficult imagining myself with the same person for the rest of my life with so many options. There's nothing wrong with that, but then I want kids as well.

Stopping girls in the middle of campus and telling them I think they're cute and I want to talk to them seems like a pretty big jump from where I'm at right now. are there any baby steps you could recommend that might help to prepare for doing random approaches?

WiktorMcman · 2012-02-02T03:23:24+00:00

Whoa, this is surreal, I'm a big fan!

Okay, first question: You guys have approached girls on college campus if I recall correctly. Have you ever approached a girl and gotten shot down, but then seen/approached her later? Or do you just ignore the ones that have refused?

Second question: Do you have girlfriends?

Third question: Any boyfriends that freak out on you for talking to their girlfriends?

That's all for now. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your work.

Also, I hope Jason's new tooth is doing well.

urduman · 2012-02-02T03:35:21+00:00

You have done alot of videos with drunk girls. Don't you feel weird talking to drunk girls while sober? Do you drink or smoke?

cjdeck1 · 2012-02-02T03:34:01+00:00

Love your videos.
Anyways, any funny instances that didn't make it to the videos and/or any times where it didn't quite go as planned? Actually now that I type it, if there were to be a video of a compilation of failures/rejections, that would be hilarious.

EDIT: I should have read all the other questions first... looks like this has already been asked. But still, if there's a video for the greatest failures, that would be amazing.

Hey guys, I love your videos. Per this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3FZoTR-l78

Great call on the talc powder. One tip I have is that for added satisfaction, blow-dry your boys before you dust them up. For fun, you can also pour the talc powder through the back of the blow-dryer, which will disperse the powder into a cloud for a nice even application. (Does cause quite the mess)

I'm a european freshman in U.S. college and I have noticed that I tend to make great first impressions on people. I think it's because I care about my looks, I can make people laugh, and I really don't mind being in the center of attention.

But as people get to know me more and more, I think they like me less. And I don't know why! It seems as if people get bored of me, I really don't get it and it really makes me doubt myself as a person. Someone told me that I should try to say "I" less and "you" more when I talk to people, especially girls. Is this true?

Also, how do I flirt/talk with girls in small classrooms where the teacher would notice if I started talking to somebody?

any other tips for a college student?

and thank you so much for doing this!

MARSpu · 2012-02-02T03:12:11+00:00

WHOO! SimplePickup! Jesse, Kong, and Jason, you guys are really cool. I’m a fan of your material on YouTube and I’ve gotten my brother and my friends in on it as well. The most genius thing I’ve seen you guys implement is the pushup routine because it makes what can be interpreted as a lose-win situation into a win-win one. I’ve been using it for some time now and it motivates me and my wings to go further, even when we’re not monitoring each other.

Because this is an AMA though, I want to ask you a few questions. Like I said, some of my friends and my brother even want to ask you a few things, so I’m just going to post what everyone wants to hear right here.

Let’s start with YouTube.

How did you start your YouTubing sessions?
What brought you to YouTube to give pickup advice? I’ll admit that there is a very good market on that end but where did you get your start?
What equipment do you use to film and how do you go about filming it? I noticed you guys change locations a lot… do you ever film around or not far from your home, or is it always somewhere else?
How long have you actually been filming it? As someone who has plans to move in the area you and many other YouTube “gamers” cover, what suggestions could you give a guy for starting up vBlogging?
Has having a reputation for pickup on YouTube netted you any bad results? Perhaps bad rep from your colleagues, friends, girlfriend, etc.? What about positively? You got a spot on ABC’s Nightline, so that’s definitely a plus.
Do you draw the line with pickup at YouTube or is something you guys actually mess around with? I can totally understand if you do it merely to impress others and to profit from it but I would also just like to know how far you incorporate it into routines.

What are you three actually studying for? I know a lot of people in the community are actually engineers, which isn’t completely related to women. How about you guys though? Any poli. Sci majors?

I’m not sure if you guys visit Seddit very often. Recently, Seddit and, well, a lot of the internet has been getting lots of hype around the concept of a friendzone. What is your take on it? Do you personally believe it’s simple to transition from friend to something more once you’ve been friendzoned by a girl? If so, how would you break the friendzone barrier?

What techniques would you suggest to be more dominant in a conversation, how do you break awkward silence, and how do you generally keep a conversation flowing? Your videos are mostly snippets of conversation so it’s tough to judge how you do it. Also, how do you remain confident with an appearance that puts you down… ex. Acne?

Let’s get a little more technical here…

My friend asks
my weak spot is opening, sounds beginner, but sadly, its something i have to improve in my game.
i can open, i can close, and it goes well, but my worst part is opning. sometimes right after i close, everything goes to hell, so I end up going direct just because its my best turn-out, but i need to improve my indirect approaches. my best closes are when a WING opens, cuz when I open, i'm not as consistent. (unless i open direct, in that case its fine).

how to improve my opening?...
Opening defined as: open + transition. that's all.

I’ve heard you guys are fairly RSD-oriented, but do you use any routines? If so, are they self-taught, or what? Also, how conscious are you of escalating with women when you’re in an interaction?
Perhaps one of the most direct questions I want to know is how good your game is, from Jesse, Kong, and Jason. How would you rate your game and what do you feel you need to improve on?
Another fundamental question is when you guys started up your game. When did you actually start hitting the fields? How committed and practiced are you? How long did it take for you to become as shameless about what you do as you are?

KaiserReisser · 2012-02-02T03:46:30+00:00

Not a question, but I just want to thank you guys for making these videos. While I haven't been hitting on girls left and right (yet), I find these videos help with my overall confidence, as well as give me a good laugh. The fact you are just regular dudes makes it even better. I look forward to watching your videos every week. You guys are bosses (which you probably already know, but I wanted to say it anyway.)

Will you play Dota with me?

SimplePickup2 · 2012-02-02T03:36:57+00:00

okay i have a really big problem... you see, im incredibly good looking and i every girl i talk to thinks that i wouldn't be into them.. so how do I make them think they have a chance with me??

Jakegarr · 2012-02-02T03:18:01+00:00

When talking to someone, man or woman and you realize that you don't give a fuck about anything they're saying and walking away isn't an option, is it better to humour them or just tell them you don't care?

Secondly, you guys have shown what you guys wear and say don't make a difference, I suggest smell and look like you haven't showered in weeks.

zamN · 2012-02-02T03:46:23+00:00

I remember a while back I saw a video from you guys saying that if you got 100k subscribers you would quit your jobs and put out a new video each week.

Did you guys actually end up doing that or are you still working part time? I can't really imagine how picking up chicks take a full week to film and edit lol.

Is it a bad idea to ask girls out from class? I mean I have no problem with rejection really, but the fact they are going to be in the same class for the rest of semester kinda sucks. What are your guys' thoughts about this?

supercheetah · 2012-02-02T03:46:57+00:00

Thank you for the awesome videos!

Do you ever change strategies if you're trying to target particular types of women, or does it not really matter?

where is a good place to go? cause i live alittle too far form colleges like mizzou, and where you guys usually film, is mostly colleges. (im guessing) i go to malls but there are too many girls that are too young for me, that look like sluts! lol need some suggestion, because this week i'm going out with two of my friends, and following in your footstep.

johnnyexcellent · 2012-02-02T04:05:07+00:00

before a few years back i read a book called the game: penetrating the secret society of pickup artists, are you three familiar with it? i saw when you dressed like mystery

0MagicPhil0 · 2012-02-02T04:12:10+00:00

Could you show in your next video a full pickup without any montage?

Did you guys graduate from university and if so, what are your jobs? (Besides picking up girls)

MZ3692 · 2012-02-02T04:20:05+00:00

Just wondering, why do you guys always do direct game? It is for the cameras? A direct approach gives the girl a shot of heroin, makes her think "Wow, this confident guy thinks im attractive/wants to talk to me." Doesn't this give her a bit too much value in the interaction making it more difficult overall? Btw, keep up the good work guys!

RcskaSedd · 2012-02-02T04:20:54+00:00

What are some good spots/areas for a college student like me that doesn't go to bars or clubs often, that would be good to pick up chicks?

Xstream2 · 2012-02-02T04:22:33+00:00

Some days, I feel that the prospect of speaking to random women is odd,

most people rely on social circle for girls or they're just natural people that get girlfriends sooner or later.

Unfortunately... I do not have the luxury of a rich social circle (I blame it on the lack of female friends), so I just feel odd and desperate at times wanting to go after random women. How do I jump through this limiting belief hurdle?

gul20009 · 2012-02-02T04:24:12+00:00

Can you guys start approaching more girls instead of doing interviews. It's okay if you can't I understand. I just like the approaches better. Otherwise A+ quality. You guys are great :)

benmarvin · 2012-02-02T04:32:20+00:00

I know you can't talk about specifics, but are you making that "YouTube money" as Epic Meal Time would say? Do you ever try to play your C-list internet celeb status as a pickup method?

BTW, love your work. Troll pickup is still by far my favorite of all the videos.

mysteryy · 2012-02-02T04:32:55+00:00

How Old were you when you started pickup? how did you find out about it?

aceplace · 2012-02-02T04:33:51+00:00

I'm in college and I want to do the "social circle" kind of game that seems to be a natural fit for campuses instead of cold approaches. But it becomes even more intimidating because they know my friends, and I'm so chilled out usually it would seem incongruent to have another, cocky persona. My inner game sucks, I have no clue about building attraction, and most of all I lose my frame really easily. Even if I manage to be friends or get phone numbers, the next meet up never has any chemistry from her perspective. So it ends up fizzling out, because I don't know how to keep a confident, interesting frame. My question is, where do I start?

Fissbusts · 2012-02-02T04:42:51+00:00

Okay now I cam usually gather the confidence to talk to girls easily and most of the time I get their numbers. The only problem is afterwards idk y it seems like I have bad luck or something, because every girl just like never goes out. Like they always take so long to plan a date and cancel sometimes, and basically what I'm trying to ask is, what do I do after I get the number, like do I call or text? When is all hope gone with this girl? How long should I wait for this girl to actually agree on a date? Thanks in advance

SimplePickup2 · 2012-02-02T04:46:55+00:00

What do you find helps most for guys at an intermediate level in the game (getting laid pretty regularly but not a master at it)?

dylman · 2012-02-02T04:50:34+00:00

How does one get out of the "Friends Zone"?

ToughGuy25 · 2012-02-02T04:50:40+00:00

Do you guys still have day jobs aside from Simple Pickup? What do you guys do for a living? lol

What single thing has helped you the most to get to the level you're at now?

heckz · 2012-02-02T04:51:30+00:00

sup guys, props on doing this iama and your videos rock and do a great job of opening up common folk to getting better with women/pua without making us look like dbags. are you guys planning on doing coaching or sticking to the videos. are you guys making money as partners on youtube or is that the plan? come up to sf and party with r/bayareaseddit we'd love to have you guys!

cavitycreep · 2012-02-02T04:57:13+00:00

Hey guys, love your shit, have been watching you since the first video you posted. Keep it up.

I'm at the point where I can approach anyone or make any off handed remark to someone and not care about it. This easily turns into conversations, but I have a really hard time asking for numbers. Can you give me some advice on transitioning from having a conversation to asking for her number?

Also, how about a video where you guys pick up girls without saying anything at all?

Vahu · 2012-02-02T04:57:54+00:00

Can you guys do a pirate pickup? Like Johnny Depp or One Piece, that'd be awesome!

ps. I got a question. So I met a girl at a party and got her number. I've been texting her and tried meeting up with her again. But she always kinda ignores it or finds a way outta of it. Should I just call it quits or is there some magic that can be done?

jjman24 · 2012-02-02T05:01:01+00:00

Can you guys do more NIGHT game videos?

eagle28 · 2012-02-02T05:07:27+00:00

how the hell do i not come off as not too friendly? i think it makes it easier for them to just walk away. any help would be sick!

How do you get them from first meeting to the bed? Do you just blatantly say LET'S fuck, or wait it out. I feel like I'm being friend zoned too often that's why im asking...

mikness123 · 2012-02-02T05:34:35+00:00

hey i have some issues and im very worried about them, i have a small "package" and was worried girl will like get angry when i whip out my junk when we fuck, so what can i do here guys. oh when i saw small like 4.5 inches bro

ashtonmartian · 2012-02-02T05:48:44+00:00

I'm confident with approaching and talking to girls. When I ran into you all in LA, I was soo fucking stoked when you tried to hit on my friend and she had no idea how awesome you guys are.

Have any of you pulled a "hat trick." (Sleep with three girls in the same day, or at the same time.)

VincentPrice · 2012-02-02T08:55:15+00:00

If its too difficult to shoot in a club or bar, could you at least do a video on tips for bar/club game.

BTW my buddy and I shoot music videos, and he has some hidden camera gear and mics, we could probably help you shoot a bar/club thing without permission just for shits and gigs. We're in LA. PM me.

clanky40 · 2012-02-02T03:41:52+00:00

Hey simple pickup, I have a few questions:

How do you record sound? I want to make videos like you guys, but it'll be unique since i'm still in highschool (junior but i'm a year younger than everyone). If it's expensive, do you know any cheap ways of doing it?
(not really a question but a suggestion) You guys need to hold a contest for your viewers to see if they actually have balls or have "bitch butterflies" like you said.

That is all. I admire your guys' work. The end.

supercheetah · 2012-02-02T03:52:29+00:00

I think a lot of what you guys do would be useful for anyone just trying to build up their social life.

I have a challenge for you guys though. I've been of the belief that a lot of women underestimate their own worth, and that even more plain looking women could use these techniques to snag a guy that she would never think to get otherwise.

I challenge you guys to find a lady friend that isn't necessarily the prettiest, and have her use these techniques on guys she would not have thought to go for her otherwise.

Jason congrats on that Pickup on Niteline with that hot blonde! Just wondering how long did take for you guys to understand the basic functions of seduction in order to understand what is going on in a pick up situation. Now I know this will be different for everyone since everyone is well different but just curious on long did it take for you guys get it?

Supajin · 2012-02-02T03:54:50+00:00

Can't think of a question so I'll just say that you guys are awesome and I love your vids <3! Maybe one day I'll get the courage to step out of my box and say hello to a random girl lol

AvengedAngelus · 2012-02-02T07:11:50+00:00

Been talking to this girl for like 3 weeks twice a week at a bus stop that i go to. We seem to enjoy each others company where im making her laugh.

After watching your videos for the first time i tried a lot of your techniques and by the end of the conversation, she didnt want me to get off the bus. Great sign i think.

Im planning on asking her out tomorrow but, im not sure if i should jus ask her out to do something on the weekend or something along the lines of "hey let me get your number so we can keep in touch". Which way should i go?

cheponcho2 · 2012-02-02T04:18:15+00:00

Redtube_Guy · 2012-02-02T04:42:25+00:00

Does Jason have the same DC Shoes? He wears them quite frequently from douchebag pick to nerd pick up.

And what happened with the security at comic-con and the one at the mall? Why did the security at comic-con approach Kong and what was the aftermath?

shortguypua · 2012-02-02T04:57:27+00:00

Hey guys,

Saw your video with internet memes and thats basically what got me into pickup. Now a lot of your advice seems to basically be "be super confident and don't give a fuck about rejection". Thats great and all, but it seems as if whenever I run into a wall the answer is always "you didn't build enough attraction" not "you weren't confident enough". So I guess my question is how do I build attraction? Other than kino, I haven't really come across much material that isn't total bullshit on this subject.

gorillastyle · 2012-02-02T04:59:47+00:00

You guys get a lot of numbers - but what are some of the things you do for first dates? Also, do you call or text girls first?

mcyoo · 2012-02-02T05:03:48+00:00

I was wondering if you guys ever plan to teach this stuff to other people in bootcamps, seminars, etc

ToughGuy25 · 2012-02-02T05:04:06+00:00

What did you do in conjunction with going out a shit ton to boost your game? Anything else you would suggest to new people in the game... books, videos, websites, anything?

dsafjfd · 2012-02-02T05:04:58+00:00

this isnt a quesiton, but my dude saw Kong at Typhoon a couple months ago and was all "woah dude, youre..!" and Kong motioned to be cool.. How do you guys deal with being known for what you do

percipient · 2012-02-02T05:07:41+00:00

the vids are hilarious but what's the future hold for the three of you?

kong, everyone knows you're got to be either a doctor, lawyer, or engineeyah. don't bullshit.

you too, jesse.

more serious question: how do you think your confidence/social skills have translated in other arenas (e.g. professional, academic, etc.)?

devonjordan · 2012-02-02T05:08:21+00:00

What up Kong!

watwatwatwata · 2012-02-02T05:13:18+00:00

So I don't have problems talking to girls and getting their numbers, I'm more of a "I'd rather fuck my gf than a random," but what do you say to them when you follow up? Just like "hey lets fuck?" or do you go on a date with them first

Redtube_Guy · 2012-02-02T05:14:41+00:00

How did you guys film the skit in a bar where Kong describes bitch butterflies and you and Jason make excuses talking to girls?

CopperTiger90 · 2012-02-02T05:16:00+00:00

I'll keep this quick. I absolutely love you guys, you really changed my outlook on things, and pushed me to implement your methods as much as possible. Thank you guys for that!

My question is, how often do you guys get shot down for numbers with "I have a boyfriend" and whether it's true or bullshit, what's the best way of dealing with that? That really seems to be the biggest hurdle I experience in the process.

ToughGuy25 · 2012-02-02T05:17:36+00:00

Do you guys still masturbate yes or no? you know walk the dog, pump the python, the five knuckle shuffle...

mysteryihs · 2012-02-02T05:18:48+00:00

The next time you guys go out filming near so cal colleges, can you give us a heads up so we can meet you guys personally? I'd love to have a chat with you guys and to see you in action. BTW, if you guys haven't done it yet, you should come to UC Riverside.
