Pickup Artistry comes from a natural desire to find a sexual partner. So why does it get so damn weird?

Pickup Artists come in varying degrees of harmfulness. In this video, I go in order from the innocuous, all the way to outright dangerous. Some are harmless and just provide us with some beloved cringe content to goof on, for example, Bobby Rio & the Mystery Method. Then there are some that promote misconceptions but aren't terrible people. You know, the guys that say "follow these tips to get out of the friendzone!" They give bad advice, but they're not the worst. Then at the top of the scale, we have guys like Roosh. He has regressive views on gender (to put it lightly) and he promotes dangerous messages with regards to consent.

TW: this video explores r*ape and sexual assault.
