Matador. I mean, he's not THAT bad looking but his body is BANGIN'.
The same way Mystery's giant fuzzy hat, man jewelry, and goggles take over for him.

Mystery calls them "tools" to attract and interest girls, but part of me thinks he's hiding behind all that clothing and accessory. Maybe he isn't as confident as we all think he is.
Without all those "toys", would he be able to get the same attention?

Eat that, Mystery!

This show is everything that I loathe. I saw an interview with that dude, Mystery or whatever, and I thought wow, I've never seen a bigger loser.

I agree with every single thing you've said 100%.

And seriously, if some dude like Mystery approached me, I'd laugh in his face so hard.

haha I am sorry but I cant stand the show. Mystery( I think thats the main host, right?) Is just so ridiculous, idk who would take advice from him. Ever. Ugh I just cannot stand him in any way!

Haha. I like the little tidbits they share about the guys.
Some of them are like, "too hyper" or "people think he's gay"... but one of the guys (Rian, I think?) had "never touched a boob".
I don't know why I found that so hilarious but I laughed my ass off when i read it!

Their challenge where they had to make out with that chick in the dark was kind of gross, though.

I read an interview with that Mystery guy in a magazine here years ago, the guy is a complete and utter douchebag. As MissChievous and others have pointed out, he (and the whole show) seem to promote the idea that women are just objects to be "pulled", not individual human beings with thoughts and feelings with whom you foster meaningful relationships.

ETA: Chocolategoddes, just wanted to say I love ur sig, that Rick James video is one of my favourites of all time!

Haha, yeah, the guy's little info is funny.

That was kinda nasty, how they were all making out with her and slobbering on her one after the other.

The point of Mystery and why he is great for the show:
Mystery was a geeky guy with no social skills who developed a system. Why would they put a supermodel on the show trying to teach losers how to get self confidence and learn what to say when they are used to only using their looks?

He is just enabling these guys to be more interesting than your average guy that says stupid things and you walk away from. If anything you should feel good that these guys are dedicating so much time to being better and more interesting.

Also wanted to hit on the outfits a bit, the radical outfits they wear are solely to make people observe them whether it be for good or bad reasons. This is so when they are talking to groups of people and they are laughing, more people in the bar are observing this. The rings and all that are simply conversation pieces. Everyone hates awkward silence or conversations about the weather or drinks.
