Four shy guys pay $7,000 each to learn how to talk to women. A British “pickup artist” named Adam Lyons is their teacher. They try to find true love in one week.
It sounds like the plot of a bad romantic comedy, but it’s happening in Miami as we speak. Lyons, who is a self-proclaimed ex-fat kid, is headquartered at the Sagamore Hotel and is giving “intensive training” to a group of 20-somethings this week.
Lyons takes the men out during the afternoon to learn “day game” and to the clubs for “night game.” Says his publicist, Harry: “[He] promises to bag these men the girl of their dreams in just 1 week!”

Here at Riptide, we like to call that “Common Sense.”
