Picking up women made easy? Self-proclaimed #dating coaches and pick-up artists promise on social media supposedly foolproof flirting tips and strategies for success with women. Our reporter Max accompanies Hendrik Mati in the film - he is also a dating coach and wants to help his client Philipp (name changed) to be more successful with women. Hendrik publishes “pick-up” videos on his YouTube channel. Hendrik finds the infamous “game” of the pick-up scene pointless. For him it is about the personality development of his clients - or so he says. Nevertheless, Hendrik stands out in his videos with some problematic statements - Max confronts him with this in our film. Flirt coaches and pick-up artists repeatedly show questionable methods in their videos. For example, numerous women are approached on the street and attempts are made to pick them up, sometimes using blatant manipulation techniques. All for the goal: cell phone number - and, ideally, getting the woman into bed. A well-known example: the pick-up artist DonJon. He also sells coaching sessions on the Internet. In our film, one of our editorial staff applies for coaching with him to find out what DonJon promises his coaching prospects – and which methods he uses. ????
