Top 10 Pick Up Artists For Learning the Natural Way to Get Women (Without All the Gimmicks, Acts, Manipulation, and Game-Playing)

A proliferation of dating gurus and PUAs (that’s shorthand for “Pick-Up Artists") circulate the web teaching tactics of questionable ethics and methods of attracting women based on trickery and manipulation. A lot of self-styled players out there are taking money from good-hearted (if awkward, insecure, and desperate) single men in exchange for a personality makeover that disrespects women and dishonors themselves.

However, there are more than a handful of other dating gurus and PUAs who are enlightened gentlemen with as much of a track record for consistent, proven success with the ladies without all the game-playing, deception, and deceit. What’s more, the techniques practiced by these more honorable men can be taught and learned just as easily as those presented by the less morally gifted bad apples among them.

Make no mistake: the lessons of both these types of teachers can and do work in winning men dates (and more) with women—in the short term. But only those who use what’s been termed a “natural approach” (or even a “natural game” in some circles) will win women’s respect and affection for the long term.

A natural approach to dating is one that doesn’t involve changing who you are as a person, but rather teaches you how to tap into your greatest inner traits, and bring them out for the world to see. A natural approach to attracting women helps you actualize your highest self, fostering those inherent natural gifts and attractiveness that ALL men possess, until they become your prominent and predominant qualities that you carry with you through all aspects of your life.

Instead of just teaching you tricks and techniques, PUAs purveying the natural approach work on your inner and outer selves simultaneously, developing the way you feel about yourself, about women and love, and about life and the world—as well as developing how you express it all.

What you learn from the 10 men introduced in this list doesn’t just help you improve your love life—it helps you improve your life, in every which way imaginable.

2 Styles Of Pick Up Artists

There are two ways you can go about picking up women, and as such two schools from which you can learn how to improve your “game”: there’s the school that teaches you how to change yourself and deceive women into wanting you by using trickery and deception, and there’s the school that teaches you how to actualize your natural highest self and bring out your inherent winning gifts, those attractive qualities you already possess.

Both schools promise a degree of success, but the former only helps you win the ladies in the short run while the latter helps you win them over for the long run. What’s more, the more manipulative schools of picking up women turn you into someone else, a false persona you are then forced to perpetuate for the rest of your love life, while the more natural approaches help you become more of the attractive, loving, and lovable person you already are—a way of being you can take with you the rest of your life, effortlessly, guiltlessly, and without all the pretense.

The following is a list, in no particular order, of the 10 top pick-up artists and dating gurus who can (and will) teach you that more enlightened, natural approach to winning women’s hearts by doing nothing more—or less—than being yourself.

David DeAngelo

1. David DeAngelo: Author, dating consultant, and all-around entrepreneur, David DeAngelo is one of—if not the—most widely mentioned and quoted names in the seduction community and dating scene. Founder of “Double Your Dating” named after his best-selling print and audio publications of the same name, it is no exaggeration to call him the guru of dating gurus.

Starting out as a San Diego real estate broker and mortgage broker, David first built up his skills in direct marketing and in training others before applying those skills to meeting women. In that effort, he began studying under those dating gurus at the time most successful and renowned in the natural approach to attracting women, including the likes of Steve Piccus, Hypnotica.

David studied extensively the precepts of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and began establishing an online presence under the name Sisonpyh (which is Hypnosis spelled in reverse). His offline handle, meanwhile, was Brother Eben (based on his birth-name Eben W. Pagan).

After parting ways with mentor Jeffries, David posted on the famous “Cliff’s List” online newsletter in 2000 a rather brash and raw version of his own school of thought on dating that would later, in 2001, evolve into his more thoughtful best-selling ebook “Double Your Dating”. This became the flagship product (and at the time, the sole product) of the company he then formed of the same name.

Since that time, David has put out more than a dozen widely acclaimed dating products including the oft-cited “Double Your Dating – Advanced Series”. His array of program DVDs are conveniently divided into 3 prime categories: Foundation Programs (like “Sexual Communication” and “Become Mr. Right”), Inner Game Programs (like “On Being a Man…Who Naturally Attracts Women” and “Power Sexuality”), and Technique Programs (like “Cocky Comedy and Other Conversation Skills” and “77 Laws of Success with Women & Dating”). In his work he’s coined terms like “cocky and funny”, “the inner wuss”, and other used throughout the seduction community.

David’s philosophy on dating, sex, relationships, and life is rooted in a belief that most human social behavior mirrors that of most other animal species in being primarily fueled by the drive for sexual reproduction. Combined with a deep understanding of the negative, involuntary habits that social conditioning has fostered in men and women alike, David retrains human thinking and behavior to utilize that fundamental awareness to achieve greater success in all aspects of male-female relationships, and all the various goals growing out of that singular, innate drive.

Author, dating consultant, and all-around entrepreneur, David DeAngelo is one of—if not the—most widely mentioned and quoted names in the seduction community and dating scene. Founder of “Double Your Dating” named after his best-selling print and audio publications of the same name, it is no exaggeration to call him the guru of dating gurus. In the seduction community it is considered a badge of honor—and a big boost to one’s bottom line—to cite David DeAngelo as a current or former mentor, colleague, or friend.

David Wygant

2. David Wygant: David’s methods come directly from real-world experience. He’s no scholar offering academic theory, psycho-babble, and speculation, but rather a real and normal, down-to-earth “regular guy” who’s garnered everything he’s learned from over 20 years of working with thousands of real people in real situations.

He works with a diverse range of clients, proving that his methods are not specialized techniques that only work for special types of people with certain attributes or living in certain areas or cultures, but rather apply to anyone anywhere willing to put them to the test. And that includes both men and women—placing David in the unique category of being one of the only dating gurus to work with singles of both genders.

For men, he offers Group Bootcamps; for women he offers a 30-Day “Inner Circle” Email and Phone Coaching Program; and for both genders he offers Hourly Coaching, One-on-One Programs, Email Coaching, Email and Phone Coaching, and an Online Dating Makeover Program.

Vin DiCarlo

3. Vin DiCarlo: Vin trains “professional pick-up artists” with a no-bones, incisive methodology that cuts to the core of inter-gender social interactions.

Swinggcat

5. Swinggcat: Swinggcat was first introduced to the world as a character named Grimble based primarily on him in fellow-PUA Neil Strauss’s (aka Styles’) book “The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists”.

He is a controversial figure in the seduction community, famous for innovating techniques such as “meta frames” and “push-pull”, and for participating in the notorious “Octoberman Sequence”, a so-called “forbidden” Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique exacted by Kevin Little (aka Houdini) on none other than Britney Spears.

Swinggcat’s controversial reputation is born from accusations that some of his more “secret” teachings, including those hypnosis-like techniques he evolved from fellow PUA and dating guru Ross Jeffries’ “Speed Seduction” school, of which he was a student, have been perceived by some as manipulative and immoral.

Nonetheless, his techniques work—just like NLP and hypnosis work, despite some groups’ condemnation of them. And what’s so “natural” about Swinggcat’s counterintuitive teachings? Simple—it’s that they teach you how a natural PUA thinks and acts.

Swinggcat’s primary product for sale is his ebook “Real World Seduction”.

Zan Perrion

6. Zan Perrion: A writer and public speaker with international acclaim, Zan teaches on innumerable subjects centered around achieving excellence in every area of life, not least of which is what he calls “ars amorata” (or the Art of Love) a more enlightened and natural take on male/female interactions.

One of the original and premier influences on the now widespread and prolific seduction community, Zan has earned the respect and admiration of many of the world’s most renowned PUAs—including several named in this very list—though he considers himself not a pick-up artist but a “romance artist”.

Dubbed by a Seattle television station as “The World’s Greatest Seducer”, Zan travels the world as a presenter, guest, and seminar leader. He’s appeared on several radio and TV programs, as well as playing himself in a movie Stephen Baldwin movie entitled “Let the Game Begin”. He writes columns regularly for UMM and Bobbi magazines.

His workshops include “The Enlightened Seduction Experience” and “The Way of Beauty”. He’s one of the few love gurus that works with both men and women. His products include “The Way of the Natural” 4-volume DVD series.

Zan’s philosophy is founded on a profound respect and admiration for the inherent beauty of all women, and more—in life.

Cameron Teone

7. Cameron Teone: Cameron, also known as “The One”, started on his journey to becoming a PUA and dating guru as an awkward and insecure flop with women, only having achieved his heralded success in the past 6 years after studying under some of the best teachers, including several mentioned in this list.

Before setting out on his own, he even worked for David DeAngelo for a time and assisted him in producing his “Double Your Dating – Advanced Series” seminar. He also assisted fellow PUA Mystery in leading dating bootcamps out of the esteemed “Project Hollywood”. It was there that he met yet another fellow PUA and dating guru, also mentioned in this list, soon to become a close friend, Stephen Nash.

Cameron’s teachings, therefore, come from his own life experience marked by extensive of trial and error exploring and experimenting with an array of styles, techniques, and disciplines, not least of which is Bruce Lee’s famous martial arts philosophy. A certified hypnotherapist, what Cameron has come up with—what he calls “Natural Game”—is based on a fundamental belief that “every man has the power within him to attract women”.

Based out of Southern California, Cameron offers coaching programs using his “Attract Women anywhere” system. His products include the “Building Attraction Secrets” 16-CD series and accompanying ebook.

Hypnotica’s teachings incorporate his eclectic lifetime of experience as a storyteller, poet and spoken-word artist, entertainer, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) expert, mind scientist, hypnotist, seminar leader, and “Pioneer of Human Consciousness”.

If that sounds like a mouthful, it’s because Hypnotica natural approach to dating is based on fully “redesigning the way you think”. One way he accomplishes this is through his 8-CD program “The Collection of Confidence: Reinventing Yourself”

His other flagship product, the one-hour CD “The Sphinx of Imagination” received high praised in its review by The New York Times. He’s also put together “The Attraction Factor” audio CD, the “Ultimate Inner Game” 3-DVD set, and the “Deep Phone Seduction” audio/video program.

Came across this website, I don't know how. Not sure what to think about these services. A part of me feels like, dating is an instinctual ritual. By practicing to act a certain way, (Or rather paying to act a certain way) it leads to be to question whether or not you are sure to attract you're true mate. I say, just stick with being who you are, going to your favorite restaurants, shopping at your local markets, that in itself is its own filter. If you see someone you like, go up to them like a real man or woman & say so. ;) What do you have to lose?
