Lesson 2: Pickup is really about men, not women.Īfter Project Hollywood, an experiment where Neil tried to live together with 3 other pickup gurus, failed, Neil started to come to grips why pickup wasn’t sustainable.Īs a result of their teaching and workshops, all of these lonely, anti-social, horny men found themselves among more lonely, anti-social, horny men, instead of women.

The fox whispered to the wolf: “Let’s throw it into a fire then!”. And even if you did, don’t you know without my shell I’m fast as lightning? Good luck catching me then!” The turtle wasn’t quick on her feet, but in her mind, and said: “Ha! You’ll never break my shell. “Let’s eat it!
