The Pickup Game
Details
Despite facing public criticism and instances of instructors being deported from countries due to their contentious methods, the pickup industry continues to thrive. Men from all over the world collectively spend hundreds of millions of dollars to attend seminars, download online courses, and have one-on-one coaching sessions with these instructors, viewing them as idols who can provide them with the dating life they've always desired.
The Pickup Game delves into both the glossy exterior of self-improvement that these courses are marketed as, as well as the dark underbelly of sexual assault, pyramid scheme marketing, and secretive collusions within the industry. This film offers a thought-provoking and eye-opening exploration of a world that is both fascinating and horrifying.
Join us as we pull back the curtain to expose the captivating yet disturbing reality of the pickup industry in The Pickup Game.
