How is βpick-upβ culture still a thing?
Undercover in a seduction bootcamp.
*** Update: Adnan Ahmed's conviction was quashed on appeal after three judges ruled the verdict was a miscarriage of justice ***
³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ reporter Myles Bonnar spent two days on the streets of London with "pick-up" coaches, being βtrainedβ in how to chat up women and get them into bed. βPick-upβ culture goes at least as far back as 2005 when American author and journalist Neil Strauss released a book called The Game.
Myles, who made a film for the ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦβs Panorama programme, tells us what he learnt on a seduction bootcamp. The coaches told him they are doing nothing wrong. And author Rachel OβNeill explains how the seduction industry has gone mainstream.
