Yeah.

The first and second generation of pickup artists make a lot of money.

You know, these guys are for a couple of years, very successful and like early internet famous.

So they've got this kind of brief period of prominence and it fades rapidly for a couple reasons.

The biggest one is that once pickup artistry becomes like famous and like regular people start to read what these guys are saying, like what they're talking about and these lectures and clinics that they're giving and like what they believe about dating, it's

they make fun of it because it's silly right like like most people who hear about all this shit are like well that's ridiculous yeah and when you add that to the fact that none of this stuff works right like if you're otherwise handsome and you dress up ridiculously and go to the club sure like maybe you'll have good luck or like if you're really charismatic you're

And also dressing like a crazy person.

Again, maybe stuff will work out for you.

But if you're the kind of person who's paying that guy to tell you how to wear a fedora, it's probably not going to work for you, right?

And that's 99% of the guys.

By the way, it's not a fedora.

It's a trilby.

This has gotten so much hate.

You're right.

It's for actual fedoras, which still look cool as hell.

That's an Indiana Jones hat.

It's not the same shit that neckbeards wear.

I just want to be clear.

My grandfather used to wear a fedora every single day.
