• Does Becoming an “Alpha” Stop Men from Becoming Adults? - Reconstructing Pickup Artistry, Part 9
    Jan 10 2026

    In this essay, I introduce the concept of sexual geography and how it can help us understand how a lack of sexual communion, or other-interested care, can manifest. If pickup artistry teaches sexual agency without communion, then we can see how quickly problems might emerge.

  • Why Are Most Adults Not Ready For Dating? - Reconstructing Pickup Artistry, Part 8
    Jan 3 2026

    In this essay, I introduce Hirsch and Kahn's concept of sexual citizenship and how it reveals the radical idea that most adults do not meet the criteria. What are the consequences of having a population of adults who fail to meet the demands for citizenship?

  • Do women like psychopaths? - Reconstructing Pickup Artistry, Part 7
    Dec 26 2025

    In this essay I discuss findings that Dark Triad men tend to have the highest number of sexual partners. If this is the case, can we really create a post-patriarchal pickup artistry? To answer this question we consider game acceptance, game denial, and game change.

  • Are Pickup Artist Theories True? - Reconstructing Pickup Artistry, Part 5
    Dec 13 2025

    In this essay I address the big question everyone has about pickup artistry, are their theories actually true? To answer this we have to understand the nature of theory itself much more deeply. How do our theories shape our experiences and define our interpretations of those experiences?

    In this essay I talk about how the romantic game of man the pursuer and woman the pursued leads to romantic misinterpretations. This turns this game into man the predator and woman the victim. Find out why this happens and what we can start doing about it.

  • The Fundamental Premise of Pickup Artistry - Reconstructing Pickup Artistry, Part 3
    Nov 29 2025

    In this essay I introduce the fundamental premise of pickup artistry as, "I suck at talking to women, and I want to learn how so that they are excited about the possibility of sex or romance with me."

    I then introduce one of the most popular romantic games - man the pursuer, woman the pursued - and how it can reinforce beliefs about man the predator and woman the victim. Given the fundamental premise of pickup, you can likely see how even that positive premise can begin to go awry when its placed within such a romantic game.

  • Giving Men Grace - Reconstructing Pickup Artistry, Part 2
    Nov 22 2025

    In this video I continue my reconstruction of pickup artistry by addressing the fact that men are not often given grace for their struggles in dating. We are often framed as villains for not knowing how to flirt, but then not given any real education. Is it any wonder when we seek help from the very same men who cause many of the problems that women vilify all men for?
