Interesting thread! I second the vote for Zan's stuff.
Years ago, he was just about the only one of the pickup gurus advocating respect and honesty. He's an unabashed lover of women, and yet he's always taught that tactics and techniques are largely irrelevant.
A lot of women view this whole pickup artist business as little more than thinly disguised (or blatantly overt) manipulation. In other words, what has always been missing is the blessing of women. And yet Zan's approach has it. From what I have heard, a lot of women attend his seminars.
I met him over a year ago at a book signing of "The Game" in NYC (there's a chapter about him in the book), and have been interested in his approach ever since.
There's also a video making the rounds on YouTube right now where he is holding court in a restaurant. He is apparently talking to Neil Strauss and Thundercat and a few others in that video. I don't have the link, but just search for "Zan in Chicago".
Definitely a lot of similarities between this and Steve's stuff!
