The Master Pickup Artist?! JT Styles EXPOSED
It was 2AM on Friday night as I leaned against the patio walls of my favorite rooftop lounge in NYC. I was scrolling through the rolodex of girls’ numbers on my phone, choosing which girl I’d go over to and spend the night with.
I had met a couple of smokeshow hotties earlier in the night, but logistics were a no go to pull back home for romp times. No worries, I’d get each of them out on a date later. Tonight would have to be a ‘fuck buddy’ night, as I selected from the rolodex the girl I was most excited to see.
As I set up a ‘fuck buddy’ night through text, I had someone approach me with a curious look on his face.
“Are you an mPUA (Master Pickup Artist)?” he said while pointing at me.
“What?” I responded. I was confused why someone I didn’t even know would ask me that.
“You’re JT, right?” he asked.
I nodded.
“I’ve heard about you…I saw you earlier making out with that blonde chick…so, are you an mPUA?”
I was still confused. Me? A master pickup artist?!
He was awaiting my response with a ridiculous smile on his face.
“Nope” shaking my head side-to-side.
His ridiculous smile faded to a look of uncertainty. I could see the hamster wheels in his head spinning, trying to follow-up with another question. I felt he deserved a more appropriate response than “Nope”, so I went on to explain,
“I don’t consider myself an mPUA. I’m just a regular guy, with a regular job. Besides, I don’t even know what qualifies someone as a master pickup artist”.
He didn’t know either.
Yet, based on some sort of reputation I was unaware of, his perception was that I was a master pickup artist.
He might’ve heard about the tales of glory, the Legend of JT. But…
He didn’t know about the girls that full-sprinted away from me when I approached them.
He didn’t know about the weekend I got 13 phone numbers, and every girl flaked.
He didn’t know about the nights I went out and couldn’t get myself to approach even one girl.
He didn’t know the humiliation and embarrassment I endured, along with the ridicule of spectators.
He didn’t know about the times I was most tempted to give up and retreat back to a life of involuntary celibacy, but forced myself not to.
When I underwent the process of improving my dating situation, I never aspired to become a master pickup artist…or even a pickup artist for that matter.
I wanted hot girls.
I wanted options.
I didn’t want to live my life sexually frustrated.
All this meant change; and change requires work. The thing about change though- It’s never easy. It’s uncomfortable. It can be painful too.
As my friend Rob Judge eloquently states, it’s either walk through hell or live in it.
REAL change is when you choose the former. Each approach is a trial by fire, chiseling the fate of a man of action.
The promises from eBook sales letters, the seminars, and all the pickup technology in the world wouldn’t matter if the courage to confront fear and fuck it isn’t in someone’s heart.
The brutal truth is that the overwhelming majority (I’m talking over 90%) of guys that look into dating advice will not improve at all. If there’s one reason I can give for the high failure rate, its lack of desire. Sure, getting better with women sounds good…but how many guys are simply lazy and don’t want improvement bad enough.
When I reflect back to my own personal trials to improve my dating situation, I know the success I now enjoy was worth everything I went through.
I may or may not be an “mPUA” (again, who even knows what that means?)
I’m just an ordinary guy, who just happens to have an extraordinary sex life

Wow, Private Man, I’m shameless with the linking – but damn lol
This was a good post bro (Shamelessness: I talk about this concept, too)
To quote myself, and elaborate on your point:
You’re right than men are lazy – but more than that, most guys finding game for the first time are insecure. That insecurity will have a huge impact on them when they do get laughed at, when an approach doesn’t go right – they’ll give up. No immediate results? Must be bullshit.
This was a great post man! I hope I never get recognized in public and have people call me a PUA! Talk about something to try and overcome…
-Side thought:Giving real numbers – “How many girls have you done this to?” – “Oh, I dunno. 5 or 6 dozen?”
Thanks for the support!
In NYC, all the “pickup” guys congregate to the same venues each week. Most of the guys are normal and cool. Even the weird guys, I can’t pass harsh judgement on because at least they’re showing up and taking action, no matter how weird they come off haha.
Really great post, JT. The expectations most beginners or outsiders have (myself included at the start) is that you will eventually get to a place in which you’re a “bulletproof” alpha. But those of us who make a lifestyle of it know that it’s really an embrace of rejection, not an avoidance of it, that differentiates us.
On another note– I’m curious about the common nyc pickup venues. I don’t know if you’ve ever listed them publicly; is it mostly clubs you’re running into these guys at? Or the upscale lounge/hotel scene?
Most of the “pickup” community guys congregate to the same spots around Meatpacking District. They are listed here~ http://www.abcsofattraction.com/blog/where-to-pick-up-girls-in-new-york-city-new-york/
Damn right.
This shit is hard work, especially starting up. Brass balls and fortitude get you through, and then you start getting returns.
Like an extraordinary sex life
Also, I think simple knowledge of game will more or less kick a beta up a level or two. But the real question is, can he work hard enough to become the best he can/wants to be deep down inside? Or will he just stop there, content on a little here and there because it’s easy and “enough”?
Hey JT,you know what I’m gonna say:you are an MPUA lol!
Seriously though,how the hell did that guy know you were JT?I would’ve been confused too as how to answer him.
Regardless of whether JT is an MPUA or not, I will say this, I have seen the transformation and it is AMAZING.
Just want to share this video. It’s an interview of the Asian Playboy in ABC News Nightline. PUA is not just about getting laid.From what I saw in APB’s interview, it is about having the confidence. See how he smashed the stereotypes. http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/asian-playboy-smashes-stereotypes-15839024
