Tynan (Herbal), long time since our interview. What have you been up to since we spoke?
I’ve been up to a lot – I like to keep busy. I wrote a book, sold all of my stuff and moved into an RV, traveled a bit, started seeing someone new, started hosting a karaoke night, etc. I spend a lot of time just hanging out with friends, too, though.
I’ve been able to read a few chapters of your new ebook “Make Her Chase You”. I really dig the vibe of it. With so many other ebooks out there, what made you decide to finally write it?
A few reasons, really. My blog, www.betterthanyourboyfriend.com, has become reasonably popular, so I get people e-mailing me all the time asking for advice. At first I’d happily give it out, but as the site became more popular I just didn’t have the time to write everyone. I figured that I could take the time to really get everything down on paper and then people could read that instead.
The last thing I wanted to do was write the same book that’s already been written a million times, so I made mine really unique.
What can a guy learning pickup specifically learn from “Make Her Chase You” that he can’t learn elsewhere?
He’ll learn how to improve his personality and lifestyle in a way that’s irresistibly attractive to women.
Why is that an important trait for an attractive guy to have?
Here’s the thing – I’m all about lines, tactics, games, and things like that. They have their place, I wrote about them, and I use them myself. But what I FOCUS on is self improvement, personality development, and social skills. Why? Because these are durable qualities that will NEVER become out of date and will work in every situation from a group of girls in a club to the hottie next to you on an airplane.
I see a lot of guys get so immersed in tactics and lines that their lives start to revolve around pickup. This is extremely unattractive to women, so it becomes this vicious circle where these guys have to work really hard to overcome the fact that they have no life.
The other problem is that this more superficial approach makes it impossible to keep a girl. She’ll get bored of you. Have you ever noticed how many pickup artists can’t get girlfriends?
The easier way to go about things is to work on your life (which obviously pays dividends in a lot of areas), and make women chase after you, rather than the other way around. I have MORE success using this sort of method and never going out than I did back when I went out all the time.
What’s your take (now that you’ve advanced to a higher level) on learning from Mystery and other gurus?
I think that limiting yourself to one ‘guru’ is a huge mistake. Would you learn all of your classes from one teacher in college? Learn how to approach and open from RSD – those guys are the best at it. Learn how to DHV from Mystery – I was hanging out with him a few weeks ago and he has some GREAT new stuff. Learn how to tell stories and build your personality from me – it’s what I know inside and out. That’s how you get a world class pickup education.
I think that my book is the best place to start, but I encourage people all the time to learn from other guys. At the same time, make sure you’re spending enough time in the field. You can read everything we’ve ever written, but if you’re not practicing then it’s not going to be doing you any good.

In Style’s book, Herbal was independently wealthy, and now he’s peddling ebooks to AFCs like the rest of em. Well, good luck.
Is it all about selling ebook now, or helping people out with their lives? The community has change since the past , now that everybody knowes there be money to made. Goodluck to all the people who just barley found out about the community, they are going to have a hard time, knowing who is here to make money or help.
Sometimes I wonder, what would happen If all PU materials would dissapear from the Web. What would, so called, AFC`s do? Same thing Mystery and rest of old school PUA`s did, try to PU somebody so many times untill they become master. Fuck all this materials, it`s all c/p mambo jumbo shit, same old things but sold under different titles. What possibly new can you lear?. NOTHING!!
For all AFC`s arround, just go out and have fun! Did Michael Jordan read books to become basketball superstar? Or Mike Tyson? Or Ronaldinho? Or anybody who is supreme in his own game? NO! They just trained more then others and when they failed, they stood up and try again. Do the same fucking thing, go out and have fun, you will learn The Game much faster then reading lines on your computer.
Sorry guys for touching the untouchble but I had to write this.
Ciao!

For 90% of AFCs out there, David D will get you more head than you can handle. Master the basics.
dudes give me a break…this guy is very young
I mean if he has 5-10 years experience and writes about something that really requires experience much of what he has to say is probably not new
what’s next my 4 year old nephew writing about pick up…
this is getting retarded
all these guys are also wearing stupid clothing and flashy stuff
jeez relax a little bit
anyway no serious woman would date them – maybe bar-fly waiteresses
ohh and his advise about getting a life…hello …
do we really need to pay and buy his book for that
guys just go out there and talk to people
Ordered the book – it never arrived. Let that be a warning not to part with your cash . . .
