Jordan Peterson has said many things about pick up artists, some of his comments have been quite negative. In one of his video’s, he says that pick up artists have to be psychopathic.
On the other hand, he has stated that a man who is incapable of cruelty is far more likely to be evil than a man who is capable of cruelty while controlling those urges.
All you have to do is search ”Jordan Peterson nice guys” and a multitude of video will pop up with JP warning men not to be nice guys when it comes to women or you’ll finish last.
I’ve read JP’s book and watched at least 30 hours of his lectures/interviews and I’ve come to the conclusion that Jordan Peterson is very supportive of men who decide to learn cold approach (pick up artist).
It’s just unacceptable for him to say this publicly, considering the main stream media has portrayed him as a right wing extremist as a way to delegitimise him.
So, if JP was to openly support pick up, he would receive a backlash from his detractors. Not to mention the nuance with pick up artists.
There’s a difference between a good looking guy who is sleeping with unlimited amounts of women, then discarding them like trash (possible psycho) and a guy who has never been successful with women in his life, who is trying to improve his chances out there.
When a public figure like JP talks about these topics publicly, he does have to take into account the complexity of what he’s saying, mixed in with how people could misinterpret what the message is.
The world is a complex place and people are not capable of understanding just how complex it is, they simplify everything so it fits into their own world view.
This happens when someone simplifies a JP’s message down to making your bed or stand up straight like a victorious lobster. These people don’t understand how deep into the mind JP needed to go, the complexity it took for him to comprehend what’s happing with society.
True intelligence is taking something extremely complex and explaining it in a simple way that any laymen can understand, in my opinion. A problem arises, when a laymen person tries to dig deeper into a simplistic message, without the depth of knowledge required to understand it fully.
Trying to have a pseudo intellectual conversation about lobsters or society, based on the layman’s terms they read in a book designed for general consumption.
Jordan Peterson Recommends Approaching Women
In the video below, I did some commentary on a lecture Jordan Peterson uploaded to his Youtube channel. JP’s talks about a men’s group who devised a strategy for overcoming their fear of women.
One of the challenges was to approach 50 women in one day and ask them all for their phone numbers. Jordan Peterson call this ”intelligent” because it was a great was for the men in this group to engage in, what JP called exposure training.
This is a common message that JP talks about, which is the idea that the source of someone’s fear is often the place they need to go, in order to grow as a person. Kinda the old yin and yang philosophy, where opposites can compliment each other.
If you are an introvert, you need to engage your fear by trying to be more sociable and extroverts should learn to listen more.
If you fear women, well, not exactly fear them, if you fear approaching them, then you should go towards your fear and try overcome it.
Fear Of Talking To Girls
Another interesting delineation Jordan Peterson makes about men who fear approaching women is. He doesn’t believe men fear approaching and talking to women, JP says it’s the fear of rejection that is petrifying to men. Perhaps he’s correct, men who don’t care about the outcome, are less likely to fear the approach.
Then we get back to the original thought here. The idea that through exposure to rejection training, a man can reduce his fear of rejection and in turn help him to have the ability to approach more women. This does make sense, by being rejected more often and more frequently, a man will intuitively learn that rejection cannot hurt him.
Fear of Rejection will Return
The only part of this that isn’t clear is, how long does this reduction of fear last? From my experience and the experience of other men that I have known (And that experience is extensive), the fear will come back over times of inactivity.
Let’s say you have a guy who starts a 30 day challenge and over the course of 30 days, he approaches girls consistently everyday. At the end of this time, he would be quite confident and have very little fear of cold approaching girls.
From my experience, if this currently confident man was to stop approaching girls for perhaps a month, he’ll revert back to his natural state of fear.
Let’s say a month, but it could be less. If a guy took time away from cold approach, what usually happens, is this guy would have to start from ground zero again.
A great example is European pick up coaches, during the winter, these men cannot do any cold approach because of the weather, in some countries it snows all winter, therefore these guys cannot do any approaching at all. One thing you’ll notice is, they all start from ground zero every spring.

This leads me to believe that over time, all men will revert back to their natural state though inactivity. So, my solution to this problem has to make cold approach pick up a lifestyle, not a hobby that you do every now and then.
Also, if you want to know which are the best countries to get laid, then I’ve written a list here. And if you are interested in learning how to cold approach women from myself, then join my fb group or check out my immersion course.
