The Pickup Artist A Fraud?

It wasn’t what he was saying it was the general feeling I felt from his email. Perhaps I was leading him, but I don’t think so. I just wanted a brief insight into the show. Instead I felt it would be a show on his part.

“didn’t you see his emotional up and downs, no-one can act that good.”

Maybe not him, but I’m sure there are good actors out there that can. That’s why their actors.

Come on its all rigged. Maybe spoon and pradeep were real, but Brady’s a male model, and Joe W. is a gay male model, and of course Cosmo has been an actor and male model for some time now.

Yeah right, these guys have problems dealing with people (especially women), sure. Male models always have trouble getting dates.

Its a shame we males prey on each other, but we do it all the time, which is why on the dating sites males spam other males with fake female IM’s, and male hucksters trick other males into buying expensive dating seminars and books.

You should have told him the interview would show up on your site before the final episode and not after it. That way the interview would be to promote the season finale and there might have been some contractual obligation for him to do it.

As it was, I would have offered him an opportunity for him to plug whatever he wanted at the end of the interview (links to his MySpace profile, acting profile and contact info, etc.) That’s standard.

If that wasn’t enough for him, so be it. That’s his choice. You should understand how it is as a webmaster who gets tons of email from people trying to get you to promote their product or spend your time answering their questions for free. You only promote the products you are an affiliate of and get revenue for promoting. In the same fashion, why should he do a free interview for a site that would ultimately gain revenue from the interview?

I think he handled the interaction just fine and it is no reflection on the legitimacy of the show.

look out for the kosmo method, change from chum into greedy chum in less then 8 weeks!
only 4000000$!

Look when you want to interview a “celebrity” you have to pay. That’s how it goes. It’s good journalism that you managed to get his e-mail address rather than his agents but I’m surprised he actually talked to you without just passing you off to his agent who’s undoubtably revieved thousands of similar interview requests.

I find it touching how Kosmo transformed from the cocky outgoing guy seen 30 seconds into his acting reel, into the shy wallflower seen in the first episode and then back into a confident outgoing guy at the end. No fakery there surely.

His response was just a little strange is all. All the interview would have done was publicize him even more.

C’mon now..it’s obvious from what he said that he wanted to make some money out of this convo. with Donovan….I don’t think People on this web site would have used it for money making..it’s silly even to mention that…His behavior wasn’t absolutely even close to what a MPUA would of said or done….he looks like an immature actor…and he needs aloooot of work on his inner game.

Kosmo is’nt that good of an actor or he would of already bad it big
instead he tried out for casting like most aspiring wanna be actors do and got on the show…most people who are on reality TV are people who persui acting i dont go around searching for casting calls n shit

Heather I completely agree Mystery is a joke I really don’t see how he could possibly pick up any women dressed like that. Hey Heather if you wanna chat my aim id is shawnmichael25@yahoo.com

hmmm. i didn’t see anything wrong with the guy tryin’ to milk his celebrity for money. most of those reality shows are staged, or have heavily staged elements. the mystery method – it’s a little too fake and insincere for me, you gotta be a social-type, bullshitter, nightclub, fakeroo, to pull that stuff off ( but there is a lot to be learned pyschology-wise that can benefit your own style). i like the gunwitch approach better – lonewolf ‘em.
