I’ve never seen this Pick-Up Artist show, but I’ve seen pictures and read about it. And I saw that totally nerdtronic Mystery dude on Conan (and even Conan was like “can you believe what a dork this guy is?”).
But I made some equations based on my first impressions of Mystery and his cohorts. Care to check my work?



(the first guy is Aamer Haleem — of VH1’s Bands Reunited, etc.)
Wow, those are incredibly accurate.
For the record, the amazing thing about Mystery is that he is in fact far, far nerdier than Conan “The Nerd” O’Brien (He’s a magician for Christ’s sake! As in “it’s not a trick Michael, it’s an illusion.) but he decided at some point in his life to take the obsessive ability inherent to nerds of all kinds and apply it to getting laid consistently. And it works. As an attractive female friend of mine who watches the show recently said “I would totally fall for him and I feel gross about it.”
Wow. I am never watching this show, because I don’t want that kind of knowledge about myself.
Brilliant work!
Agree totally with the others that you have captured the essence of these three 1000%. And while I find myself having to fast forward through the cringe worthy moments of the show (I know, I know, that’s practically the entire show), I am strangely fascinated by Mystery and would do him in a minute before he even had to try one of those tricks of his (sorry, TMI).
Mystery is awful! I met him and he was just really creepy nerdy. And I was alone and inebriated - perfect prey.
I hate him–he is creepy and cocky. If I met him in a bar and he threw negs at me, I’d probably throw eggs at him, lol.
