New Product Review: Pickup101's Everything You Know About Women Is Wrong
6.19.2006
posted by Donovan at 7:39 AMI got an advanced copy of Everything You Know About Women Is Wrong, or EYK about a month ago. It was a 5 disc set, which Pickup101 told me was there best non-workshop product yet.
I eagerly opened it.
I popped the first DVD in and watched it. The style that Lance presented the content in was typical of his previous products, the actual content was very interesting and something that resembled David Deangelo's theory discussions on his DVDs. Lance talks about Andre, the typical Alpha Male. He explains some interesting concepts surrounding that, and also a very great explanation of why we get approach anxiety, and why we feel nervous when leaving a comfort zone. He explains that because your doing something more alpha than you've previously done, your mind tries to freeze your body from pressing forward. This is the sign that you are pressing forward and becoming an alpha male. Very interesting stuff. It certainly gives me more confidence when I feel one such an emotion.
Throughout the DVD set they expounded on approaching, and other conversational topics to generate attraction. Storytelling, banter, and all of those skills are explained and giving real time examples. My favorite section however is, something that Lance is renowed for, which is the body language during conversation and approaching. I think Lance's teaching style breaks it down so well that it's easy to understand and see how its applied. At times I recall one DVD dragged in a certain place, but Lance remedies by making humorous comments. (Mostly because you have to hear the content, but you don't like to, if that makes sense)
I recommend this DVD set, mostly because it really knuckles down at gives the essential theory and techniques to help you start generating attraction.
The type of person this would suit:
Well, I believe everyone can learn no matter how advanced. Thats how you stay ahead of the game. But I understand some of the readers on this blog are alittle more advanced. You won't be disappointed in the content of this series. Mostly because Lance teaches alot of techniques that aren't mentioned elsewhere, like the "Movie Moment". A direct method technique that can really amp up attraction for the interaction when first meeting. Sean swears by it (and he meet his current girlfriend using it).
Also, you "natural game" junkies. I think this program would benefit you greatly. It is somewhat routine based, but not really. The dynamics of the conversation are all discussed by the presenter, and he encourages experimentation using correct methods.
Mystery Method students. This will really help your conversation skills.
David Deangelo followers, I think this program is the essential stepping stone to get into the realm of step-by-step methodology. David's programs are kick ass, and I continue to learn alot, but you need to branch out and start learning and transitioning so you see the mistakes in your game. EYK is exactly what you need. I couldn't recommend anything better for you.
I understand how you guys feel, there are so many products out there, and every seduction company under the sun recommends this new "breakthrough" to instant attraction. The truth is, you have to WORK AT IT. What I've found for myself is I need to MIX different methods and techniques together to fit my personality. So you do end up having to have a broad spectrum at first before you knuckle down on what really works for you.
EYK is a great place to start, or a great place to increase your attraction/rapport/comfort building/conversation skills.
Anyways, read more specifics about the program and what's in it on the Pickup101 website.

thanks for the review Donovan. i'd been slightly apprehensive about going for this product after having studied so much material. there are quite a few other things out there that resemble your descriptions for this product.
being a completist and a complete advocate of the Pickup101 philosophy, i'd LOVE to own this product, but more as a secondary or tertiary option to others i have in mind. however, if i had no other product out there, it seems that Pickup101's full line covers just about everything there is to know about pickup.
i just want to see what all is out there so that i may slim down and figure out which ideas fit ME. mixing and matching. Jeet Kune Do. that is "pastiche."
thanks again! your blog keeps getting better and better.

Thanks for the good review Donovan.
Question though, why do all of these pua product websites look the same? And by the same I mean awful. If you are going to duplicate a website's design pick a good one to copy. These sites look like they were made 10 years ago. As interested as I am in the product I closed the browser after seeing that terrible site.
I wouldnt trust spending money through a website so poorly designed.
You guys can pick up women but you could use some web design help. ;)

Yeah I understand your reservations. The only thing products can really do is point you in the right direction, and give you a guiding light. The experience is what makes you a "PUA". It's a difficult decision true. There is a 30 or something money back guarantee. I'd recommend giving it a try, but it also depends on how far you're already into the game. Yeah, send me an email, I've reviewed alot of products, I'll try and give you some advice.
Silentific:
Nice name btw.
I work for a interactive design agency, so I understand what you're saying.
The best one I've seen so far has been the Charisma Arts website. Beautiful. I guess they don't pay as much time to it simply because they are very busy and have alot of other things on the table. In there defence, the site is only meant for one thing: giving information and to order the product. I've talked to Pickup101 on the phone, they really are the genuine deal, I wouldn't worry about your money going to waste.
I do agree, that they could make them alot better :)
Just think of it this way.
All our available resources go into teaching men how to attract and keep women. We don't have anything to spare to keep up the web design.
I'm too busy with my girls to do a mockup or wireframe for the redesign... ;-)
Im sure you can get a couple of us AFCs to hook you up with a very clean and basic site that lays out all of the same info. After all we still dont have our schedules packed with women yet. I bet you see increased sales asap.
Also add a paypal button. so easy. :)
