My Reaction to the First Episode of VH1 The Pick Up Artist
Hey Guys,
This is Kevin from the second season of the pick up artist
So a bit about me =).
I'm you're pretty average asian for the most part. Growing up I did everything asian possible, I played the piano for five years, got amazing grades, played starcraft for a majority of my middle school career, ate eggrolls, etc etc.
I feel that high school is a very defining person in everyone's life. I feel that your experiences in high school really shape who you become in the more mature stage of your life. That being said, I really wish I could go back to high school and fix everything I screwed up. Physical beauty isn't something I'm blessed with and in high school this was exacerbated by the fact that I didn't hit puberty until I was 17. So for a good bulk of high school, I was this ratty, skinny little asian kid with no physical authority, TOTALLY sucked.
I'll never forget this kid my freshman year of high school, he made my life a living hell for four hours a day for an entire semester. He would physically and verbally harass me and there really wasn't much I could do, and he was pretty smart about it too. He framed it so whenever i asked the teacher for him to get off my ass, that I was being over critical and annoying. I wanted to beat the shit out of him, but I couldn't, so the tooling ensued. It's really crippling when someone has that kind of power over you and you can't do anything about it.
Because of this, I chose to remain shy and quiet so I could avoid confrontation with others, i really didn't want to deal with anymore drama like that. I had very few friends, I never had a girlfriend, I never attended a single school dance.
When I went to college, I vowed to reinvent myself. i made it a point to be more social and expand my boundaries. I joined a fraternity, went partying, drank, blacked-out, and did just about anything to seek social validation. Friends-wise I'll say I was pretty successful, I met some great genuine friends that I can say i will be in touch with for the rest of my life. As far as the girl-friend is concerned, total goose-egg, no love. I remember stumbling back from a party in the middle of my senior year and I thought to myself "How the hell did I not have a solid girlfriend at all". Was I not doing something, did I do something wrong? I had taken all the advice from my friends: "Be confident", "be yourself". I figured if I coudln't make it happen in college, with 20,000 women for me to select from, that the real world would be totally brutal. I needed help, a LOT of help.
I was flipping through the channels one day and I came across a show called "The Pick Up Artist". Like every other horny guy out there, I checked it out. Within 5 minutes, I knew that this is exactly what I needed. I sought out books, manuals, self help material, whatever was out there. Being an avid tennis player, i also understood that proper intruction was neccesary in order to properly learn a skill. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford Mystery's 10,000/day rate being the broke-ass ramen eating college student i was. At this point, I figured that if it meant being tooled on national television, hell, if I could find that special someone, woudln't that be completely worth it?
I took the Plunge...........
Most of the first episode of the pick up artist season 2 just came out on the web, and wow did that bring back a lot of memories. It was pretty surreal being on set, almost like a dream but just seeing all the clips and everything really brought all those feelings/memories back.
First night out, I remember just feeling totally nervous! I never go to clubs, NEVER. So here I am in the club by myself just kind of shlubbing around and I figure "okay, here's my golden ticket, let's make something out of it". I see this group of 3 girls, totally smokin hot. I get nervous, I tense up but I figure, it's now or never. I make the approach, and even as I type this, I still have no recollection of what I opened with because I was so nervous. The set went horrible and the girls blew me out.
The make-over was utterly amazing. I had NEVER gotten a professional haircut in my life because my mom does it for it and wow, the salon does such a better job. I got my eye brow pierced and my hair dyed along with a new outfit. I felt like a stunner!
Well that's all I can say for now. Check out my website at www.kevinfengvh1pickupartist.com and sign up for my newsletter the "K-Feng Chronicles" for inside stuff on the show and a lot more juicy details that didn't make it on the air.
