PUAs arrested…again!
I was chatting to a friend of mine recently who told me an interesting story about pick up artists running into the long arm of the law in central London, which brought back memories of the three PUAs who were recently arrested after being mistaken for pickpockets.
In this instance two PUAs were out filming some approaches in central London, and things were going well. A number close was on with a particularly fine young lady, until a nearby stall holder decided to blow open the set, showing terrible PU etiquette as he did so.
Firstly, he told the girl she was being filmed. Now, this is fair enough. It’s only right that people should know they’re being filmed. The chaps were going to tell her afterwards, and when she found out she didn’t actually care, thought it was funny, and was more than happy to carry on the interaction.
Then his story changed to a complaint about his stall being used for a commercial film. What? I’m not sure why anyone would rather film today’s cheap offers for a sausage roll instead of some top quality London totty, but whatever.
Then, when the police arrived, he tried to have them arrested for terrorism offences! No seriously, he claimed that they were filming a venue to blow up. Now, I’m a proud Londoner like the other seven million of us, and I know only too well the importance of keeping vigilant, but this just sounds too ridiculous!
Has anyone else ever been to central London and seen LOADS OF TOURISTS fliming things? Yeah, thought so.
Anyhow, the PUAs told the police officer exactly what they were doing, approaching women and filming it, so people could see exactly how it easy it was to start a conversation with a beautiful girl. Luckily the police officer could see little wrong with that, and decided not to opt for a full tear gas take down, and instead just took their names and addresses.
So only a minor inconvience suffered, all due to a rather bitter sounding stall holder. Does the word ‘jealously’ spring to the mind of anyone else? I personally think that this guy couldn’t handle seeing someone chat up a hot girl close to his horrid little burger shack. Wherever there’s a PUA, there will be a bitter guy who’s not getting laid close by.
However, even after all this palava, our man got the number, so it was a happy ending after all!

For nearly one and half years, I spent 1 - 5 hours most nights studying pick-up material.
I practiced picking-up women - or trying - mainly on weekends resulting in some of the
most hilarious, side-splitting moments you can imagine. I learned the hard way, the very hard way.
I am Brad, nice to meet you!


Haha, this is too funny.
Y’all from across the pond need to strengthen yer resolve more… errr else the terrorist win
(said in best G.W.Bush accent:)
YeeeHawww, go get ‘em puas!
This is just another example of how some small minded people just can’t take it that other than them have succes. I’ve never got arrested, but appearently being social is a crime nowadays ;).
I had that problem a few times filming in London… I don’t know what the deal is there, but we had several people come up to us and demand money, because their faces were in the shot. We told them politely to get lost.
I guess in the UK you’re not allowed to film someone without permission?? Unless you’re Tony Blair, that is, and you want to put half the country under 24h surveillance.
