I wanted to post this about Mystery and forgot, this is what Cameron wrote and he knew Mystery because he was a part of the community before he left it:
If you want CONSISTENT results, then you have to give yourself the proper edge. You also have to KNOW what kind of women you want, and figure out if you want short-term or long-term results. It’s about knowing your demographic and going forward with the right edge....
I mentioned Mystery plays the “Status game.” That is game based on displaying social status to club skanks who crave and want to devour social status (If you’ve read my “Archetype” posts on this Blog, then you know how that works). I am sure he has dropped the “Super-Star Daredaveil” thing now days that he is legitimately on Vh-1. That does not mean he doesn’t have good points to teach, but at the core of his presentation, is playing “Pseudo-Celebrity” game for a demographic that treats social-rank as its god. Hence, the core of the method, (Neg, DHVs, etc) is built around that very dynamic.
So Mystery's method won't work for most regular people, and the regular people that had 'some success' with it (mostly very little success) had to practice it for a very long time before it actually worked.
Also, the people who used the Mystery method (and had some success with it) may have had other traits that women found attractive and women that were already into them for other reasons overlooked their game (it could even be that they found game annoying but overlooked it because they were already into those guys for other reasons).
