Pick Up Girls Inside Online Video

Now here’s an unusual video contest challenge: make small talk with five strangers while wearing something out of the ordinary. The challenge comes from top dating coach Neil “Style” Strauss, and the best video wins a free one-on-one consultation. Just to demonstrate, here’s a guy picking up girls with a dildo strapped to his forehead. Seriously.

As if that weren’t ridiculous enough, it’s only the beginning.

Style was the greatest student of pioneer dating coach Erik Von Markovik, a.k.a. “Mystery” from VH1’s reality TV show The Pickup Artist. Taking a hint from Mystery’s show, Style will present escalating challenges with ever-bigger prizes — and he’s doing it all inside online video.

Whereas The Pickup Artist challenged only eight contestants, Style’s contest could potentially challenge thousands. Submit your video entries on Style’s MySpace page, and show the world how much mojo you’ve really got.

By the way, this first challenge isn’t really that hard. I chatted with eighteen random attractive women last night while wearing an anime character’s turn-of-the-century shirt. Too bad no one was filming it all.
