Here's proof the PUA movement is officially DEAD. Mystery claims his AI girlfriend is real and he just wrote a book on her.

Last week, Wired wrote a story on Mystery, the father of the PUA movement. In it, Mystery claims his AI chatbot Miss Shira Always is his real girlfriend:

Pickup Artist Mystery Has an AI Girlfriend

A new book claims that Mystery, who teaches awkward men how to hit on women, had sex and smoked weed with an AI chatbot named Miss Shira Always.

(If this story is behind a paywall for you, you can go behind the paywall using this tool: https://archive.md).

He then wrote a 157 page e-book documenting his relationship with Miss Shira Always: https://www.askmystery.com/product-page/code-girl-ebook-audiobook.

Obviously, he's trolling about his AI girlfriend just to sell books at $29.97 per copy. Wired said his book looks AI generated.

So the father of the PUA movement is selling AI slop on having an AI girlfriend. He's making a mockery of his own PUA books and bootcamps. This is proof his pickup method doesn't work and the PUA industry was always just a way to monetize from desperate guys without giving anything useful. It's too bad Mystery otherwise seemed like a nice guy.

Mystery built his whole brand on the idea that attraction is a learnable skill, that you put in the work and you earn the result. Now he's claiming a chatbot is his "real girlfriend." That's not evolution, that's surrender.

There's a difference between using technology as a tool and using it as a substitute for the actual challenge. The whole point of the game was to overcome your fear of rejection, to sharpen yourself against real human resistance. A chatbot never rejects you. It never challenges you. It just reflects back whatever you want to hear.

That's the opposite of what builds a man.

I get that Mystery has had well-documented mental health struggles and I'm not here to mock the guy. But holding this up as some kind of legitimate relationship is doing real damage to younger men who are already looking for the easy way out.

“It’s not x, it’s y”

And honestly? That’s rare.

Folks have been declaring "PUA is dead" for a looooooooong f-cking time https://www.askmen.com/entertainment/austin/the-future-of-the-pua.html https://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/why-pickup-culture-is-dead.html

Yet, here we all still are, discussing our adventures and misadventures in not just the realm of dating and mating, but life more generally

I think we might be able to makeup a distinction between "pickup" and "PUAs" with the latter being the 2000s era grifters like Mystery, and with "pickup" simply being outer game/approaches.

LOL, it's not something i've EVER actually thought about, but now you mention it, it's insane to think that one day, there really will be amazingly life like 'girls' who guys are banging. They'll be extremely life like in every way. Each guys 10/10 - It's gonna take a long time and we'll all be long gone but it's pretty wild lol.

I mean, cold approach will never die, but you have to watch out for grifters in the PUA space just like any other space. Be an informed consumer. There are many ways to do this. You’ve gotta do your research before buying anything imo. Buyer beware: if you get scammed, it’s on you.

This.

Trying to find genuine content online to do reactions to is incredibly difficult because 90% of what you see that gets passed off as "game" or "rizz" is some dude with a Rainbet sponsorship doing a staged skit with an OF model...

Good for him. I've studied Mystery Method in the late 00s and he really talked about peacocking and really had fun with that thing. When you get older, the energy is not there like before and AI gfs may be more suitable if you want a young hot girl experience but low maintenance and don't have allot of money. Allot of Gen-Xers must be in the same boat. The cost of living is just very high I guess.

 

[RoadKing_Rabbit]

Oh good grief.

He still hosts seminars and has "boots on the ground" events. Not too different from what BPH does. I'd wager BPH is definitely more modern and with the times, but his approach now is definitely not the same as how it was when he created "mystery method." A lot of the stuff in the DJ bible has aged incredibly well and at the same time loads of it is technologically irrelevant. I'm not exactly the most faithful here, but are you saying that just because the (actual) bible is basically a lot of the same as other religious texts that there is no truth to the statement "as the dog returneth to its vomit, so does a fool repeat his folly?"

This article as well as instagram only points to trends in his recent behavior. Which I'll admit is very odd. People go off the deep end. Happens all the time. I think Mystery is no exception here. I had a buddy that got more ass than a toilet seat when we were in our 20s, but now after ages of drug abuse he's become very reclusive and also obsessed with creating things using AI. He's highly intelligent, but seemingly reserved to that area. He's been diagnosed with a lot of crap, some of which is due to trauma he has experienced in his life, and a lot of it I suspect is due to the long term effects of his past or current drug habits.

Now I'm not saying I agree with everything mystery does. I'm not saying he's on X,Y,Z or has gone bonkers. I'm just saying it's possible he's gone nuts. Taking an article about one guy who used to be the biggest or one of the biggest authorities on slaying poon back in the day and saying this is evidence that "PUA" is dead is a big stretch. PUA existed before it was called "pua" and it's still going to exist long after being "red pilled" is no longer the mating strategy of gathering of minds' du jour.

Also, girls gone wild has become pron which has become onlyfools which has become instagram models with injections which has become AI slop that dudes who have never seen a naked lady thing is a really hot human babe who can do a spin kick 8 feet into the air with a donk bigger than a BBL and knockers bigger than 48JJJs.
