Bradtastics Blog

1. About the Group.

ALONG WITH A FEW OF MY FRIENDS, FANS, FOLLOWERS AND CONTRIBUTORS, I’ve been trudging through the muck and the mud of a brand-new “industry,” spearheaded by a man called Mystery, that I’m trying to change. Over the past few months and more recently, over the past few weeks, due in large-part to the surprising support of many women, I’ve decided to go just a little bit more public with the group and the image.

The original plan was to let the group grow under the radar. Even though it was and is always my intent to make whatever material, research and ideas I collect and create to act as a horizontal leveler, I didn’t want to spend the bulk of my time fending-off groups of the inane and discriminatory, unknowing of what I’m about, what I’m trying to accomplish, and most importantly, the differences that separate what I do from the work of so-called “Master Pickup Artists” across the vastness of the online “seduction communities.”

And to enhance and exemplify this separation that I’m proud of, I stay away from the title “pickup artist” orPUA. This isn’t a seduction community. I don’t see a need to classify this, (why limit myself and the group with use of narrow, limiting and otherwise-useless “terms” to define what we already know) but it’s closer to “goal-oriented advice/help information distribution group for the purpose of attaining success and happiness.” I know that that isn’t very clear.

2. So… what’s here?

This site is life advice and information, written for and by the people who need and want it. Bradtastics will contain stories of triumph and success, and will be a place of inspiration and guidance. This is the “how to” and the “do’s and do-not’s” of life the way we live it, and a special-collection of applied-sciences.

Simply put, more than any-single-thing, this is a collection of good people looking for other like-minded good people, trying for success and happiness in order to share that success and happiness with good friends and family.

But it’s not like self-help. People are free to help each other, and I often find myself outright telling people what to do, or at least, what I think they should do. Some people, including me, will post ideas and experiments here… to “test out” theories and find what few answers we can for life’s great questions.

3. How does it relate to pickup, at all?!

This is a search, a quest and a record of a journey through life, trying to find a place in this crazy 6.45 billion persons-planet. This is a journal of success and failures in attempts to achieve happiness and love, and a science-project in-progress, a series of trials to answer why we interact and communicate with each other—and to determine the underlying forces at work, driving these needs.

Insofar as this blog represents the quest to attain love and happiness, it relates to pickup. I also find myself talking to many men whom have read the seduction community content without finding success or fulfillment… so in that sense, that group and I are going after a similar group of men.

4. How is Bradtastics different?

I won’t help misogynists and abusers and I’m not going to teach blatant-trickery and manipulation techniques. I’m not going to share anything “just for men,” I’m not only encouraging women to read and contribute, I already have the support of several, including a psychologist. I want the information here to be as legitimate and as valuable as possible, to all people, for men and women.

I don’t want a low-value man to trick a high-value woman into bed; this isn’t about debauchery and incessant meaningless sex with multiple-partners and emotionless one-night-stands and flings. There are places for that sort of crap. This isn’t that.

5. Why is it called “Bradtastics?”

Honestly, we couldn’t agree on another name for the group, and frankly, I was the only one with objections to that name. I didn’t and don’t want the group to be named after me; I’m only one person and a part of what this is. Yes, this is my blog, and I “own” the groupstuff, but I don’t claim ownership over other’s content and group submissions, and I’m not going to be the only voice here (on this site). At this time, I’m the only person posting at this blog, but that will change soon, too.

As soon as I come up with something else, that’s what it’ll be called. A domain is just a name, and if this domain works for everyone, cool. I don’t want to make things harder just to be more-clever, but I also don’t want people to think that this is just another example of my overinflated ego. I tried to get people to call it something else and their answers were, collectively, “why?”

So it’s called “Bradtastics” because the broad, base concepts are mine. But really, this is Bradtastic Stratagems and the Art of Impression.

Got more questions?

Feel free to join the Google Group, message/contact me (in a number of different, convenient ways), and read the content at this blog. Familiarize yourself with the seduction community and it’s terms; I use some of them sometimes, in order to make my concepts and stratagem easier for “PUAs” and “seduction groupies” to understand.

I don’t accept everyone, I won’t let just anyone in. This isn’t a free-to-join, “come in, all”-type of group… see Question 4.
