I wonder how many people acutally use service like this?

I mean this movie was totally off wall, silly and funny. But thinking about it. Are people really that pathetic to just call a number and pay $5000 without knowing what they're getting themselves into? I mean people do need some boosters for their self esteem, but I'm sure you can do it for a lot cheaper!!!

The funny thing is, as silly as some of the things that were said in the class, they were all true. What's even worse is that it's pretty freakin' obvious. Sad that they had to pay $5000 to get common sense advice.

Yes it's a silly movie. The rules for getting a girl are a little far fetched, but the overall idea of these classes for "bettering yourself" is funny. People actually get paid to tell some loser common sense. So that's what I meant when some of the things he said are true, in a twisted way.

Dr. Phil did a show about these two jerks who teach a class about basically seducing women. It, too, is very expensive. They went over some of the techniques on the show about "acting interested" and then basically getting laid and blowing the girls off unless you want something more. It was pretty disguisting.

"Are you fking kidding me??!!
All of the stuff he talked about for a date (lie, lie etc;relate yourself,etc) is a whole pile of bollix!!!
And you saw that when it all blew up in his face in the end!!
Why shouldn't the guy compliment the girl??!! We actually like that!!
And, as my mother says..."the truth always comes out in the end!"""

Yeah but a compliment to a woman from someone unattractive to them is the same thing as an insult subconsciously.

All the rest of the stuff was to build up the guys self esteem.

In fact if a guy, a women thinks is ugly. Like Bill O'riely, tells them something like "I like your skirt" the woman would slap him. But if a guy who looks like james marsden tells a girl he likes her skirt she gives him her number and he gets laid if he chooses.

Just because something is true, doesn't mean it works under all circumstances. And dating is one of those things faking it until you make it is actually a prerequisite.

Ha ha ha, yeah, I guess you could say Dr. P became a victim of his own foul play in the end!! I bet his wife divorced him too!

I am sure there are ppl who attend classes like this ha. Pick up artist classes are fairly popular or so I see.

But Dr. P's no compliments advice made no sense, I agree. Compliments can be overdone but if somewhat sincere and observant, women love compliments 9/10.

The other advice (relate, do something risky etc.) made sense and works. Even lying, but that's not a basis for a long term, just to get laid.
