VH1 Pickup Artist 2 Casting

***If you make it to the show, and win, you'll win $50,000 in cash, in addition to learning pick-up skills from the master himself. How will you spend your prize money?***

I'm not in this contest for the money, I want the skills to better my life. If I was money motivated, I'd choose something I would have an easy time winning. But if I was given $50k, I'd use it to supplement my income, buy my dream car (a 1996 Camaro Z28 modified by Callaway Cars), and use it as a fund for going out and meeting girls. I'm so tired of being the biggest sports car fan my friends have ever met, and driving a Toyota Corolla. You wanna talk about building an avatar? The Corolla doesn't fit mine! It's like Paris Hilton in underwear, it just doesn't make sense.

***Why should site members vote for you?***

I think site members should vote for me for several reasons. I sometimes write too much, so let me summarize right here. You can read more below if you want.
I. I would benefit from being on the show because...
ia. I could read a book about picking up women and not benefit at all. I need the experience of being taught what to do and then being forced to go out and try out what I learned.
ib. I'm becoming a recluse and am too afraid inside to go out to a club or bar by myself right now.
ic. I have an incredible amount of potential inside me for picking up girls and learning so much from this show. It just needs to be tapped and released. I have the right mental outlook, and I just need to be taught.
II. Why I would be a good choice to be on the show...
iia. You'll never EVER find a person exactly like me ever again. I am about as individualized as a person can get. The viewers will always have something to laugh at.
iib. I'm not a stereotype. I'm just Brandon. The guy who needs guidance to be the pick up artist.

Number one, I would really benefit from participating in this show. I've had a number of friends suggest I read books, listen to podcasts, etc. and that's just not what I'm needing. I've spent my life reading books for school and listening/watching anything and everything from home and not putting myself out there and experiencing things in person. Someone needs to teach me how to fly, and push me out of the nest. And that's exactly what this show's purpose is.

I've gotten very comfortable being at home with my mom, and I'm becoming a recluse and don't know what to do. I've never lived away from my mom and sister (not even while in college--I commuted each day from home) and I've never been out of town without at least one of them with me. And, as it so happens, I'm working from home right now, and have been since January, so I don't see anyone by my mom and sis. So I think being on the show would be a great learning experience for me. I've never had the opportunity to see the world from the eyes of a "single man" and I haven't had enough opportunities to be independent. This show would help me in all of those ways.

Also, I have a lot of potential for getting better at picking up girls. I'm not afraid of rejection and I'm a really interesting person once I allow myself to "expose" my true self to someone. Just compare my photos on here to my videos and you'll see a massive difference in comfort level. The real me is photographed. The person who just looks like me is on video. What I need is Mystery's help in getting the BEST Brandon to put himself out there in those first few minutes. To coach me in ways to get me to be the real Brandon when I meet someone. I'm tired of turning new people off because of my nerves and fears. I have trouble in job interviews because of this as well. I need people to know the real me in those first few minutes of meeting me, rather than after a week of knowing me. How is a girl supposed to know the wonderful person I am, if I can't get comfortable conveying it? I get speechless around new people and can't be myself. :(

With regard to some of my competition, there are many guys here who are "unhelpable" at one extreme and "not needing help from this show" at the other end.

I know enough about human behavior and psychology to know that many of the guys on here are beyond Mystery's help. Many of the guys on here are limited by mental barricades they have been imposing on their minds for years and years. You can hear it in many of their videos; some of them make me want to cry when I listen to them (particularly one with a hamster on his shoulder) because they are just so utterly depressed. These feelings of incredibly low self-esteem, self-worth, and value are crippling these guys. All of these problems are beyond what Mystery can fix for them. The best opener in the world isn't going to help a guy who has no faith in himself whatsoever.

And then there are the guys on here that just plain don't need the help from the show. Many of these guys would benefit from one of Mystery's seminars, but don't need the baby steps that the show will put them through. How is a guy who has never kissed a girl expected to compete with a guy who just wants to get laid by more attractive women? Because that first guy's me! And I don't think I could beat MikeStoute or any of the other more experienced guys on here. Allowing them on the PUA is a sure way of making a failure of a TV show, because all the average frustrated chumps will not be able to beat them.

Number two, I would be a great character for being on TV. I know it doesn't show up at all in my videos, but in person, I am just an incredible ball of energy. I'm talkative, I'm sarcastic, I'm witty, I'm fun, I'm lighthearted. None of those qualities show up in my videos, because I'm not being completely random and spontaneous. When I get into "OMG, I have to plan what I'm going to say" mode, I turn into a robot. This goes for my videos, any voicemail I've ever left in my life, and especially my first few minutes of meeting new people. I make a terribly inaccurate first impression.

What also makes me a great choice is that I'm not just some stereotype. I'm not the MTV stereotypical kid who raps, juggles, and skateboards. I'm not the gamer who has only himself to blame for not having any experience with women, and I'm not the guy who just wants on TV for the sake of being on TV. I'm just Brandon. The guy who can never get in the attraction stage... the guy who wants to get past the first date and into a real relationship... the guy that just needs some guidance to be a complete success. So help me out, and give me a vote. Thank you.
