The Pickup Podcast is a pleasantly surprising show about dating advice for men. The reason I say ‘pleasantly surprising’, is that I expected it to be seedy and disrespectful to women, but that is not the case. It’s very professionally done and presented. Each episode describes tactics, frames of mind, and advice on how to heat up your dating life. Many episodes feature the hosts and a high-profile member of the online “seduction community”, a group of guys (and girls, for that matter) that share knowledge about meeting, attracting, and dating women. Interestingly most of the techniques can be applied to everyday life, not just dating. It’s like building a confidence and communication skills toolbox. So before you sit down and watch another rerun of Saturday Night Live, tune in to these guys.
