Made in New York, Not Hollywood
Maybe it's my time of the month, but I've been on a roll with the emotional content, earlier this morning I wrote and published "What A Grammy Award Winning A-List Celebrity Told Me Me About Myself That Made Me Want To Cry" in one sitting.
I'm trying to ride the momentum, so here goes again -
- Scotty, the original "other" Good Looking Loser has officially announced his retirement [from teaching/the lifestyle].
I write this piece with a heavy heart, but a smile and not tears on my face.
I always knew this day would come.
Whether my good friend would be alive to read it - I wasn't really sure.
At times, I would have bet against it. So would he.
Thankfully this is simply a "retirement announcement" and not an obituary.
Unlike most biographical stories that are rarely totally legitimate, let alone not exaggerated - the legend of "Scotty Flamingo" is nearly identical to the true story. He was is larger than life.
He Good Is He?
I obviously have no idea who outside the "pick up community" is better than he, but I would bet my life on him up against any other "guru" (if such a silly competition was possible).
He is nothing short of the best of all time (in cold approach results/not "information") in my opinion.
A label that he would immediately humbly decline if I ever said so in one of our Podcasts.
Experience = Unmatched
Social Freedom = Unmatched
Edge = Unmatched
Speed = Unmatched
Potential = Exceeded
Goals = Completely Shattered
Sexual Frustration = None
Average Hours on Date Before Sex = Zero
Killer Instinct = This entire concept is primarily based on him
Demons = Many
But he was the best.
He was one of the founding fathers of Good Looking Loser, one of the most influential people in my life.
Many years ago, I would sit in silence for hours on end (speaking to only assure him our phone call was still connected) as he selflessly taught he everything he knew. Still to this day he provides me with insight that I had never thought of. Without sounding arrogant, he is the only person on the face of the earth that can still teach me any "pick up shit".
Even as a close friend, having got my own absolutely enormous share of pussy, I could not help but be in awe of some of the things I've seen him do right before my very eyes.
The guys that had the rare opportunity to work with him confirm this -
In some of those workshops, I suggested he to go "half speed" so nothing crazy happened.
He's gotten more action than anyone I know.
(this is obviously hard to confirm, but it's a pretty safe bet)
The most impressive thing - his supply was nearly all from cold-approach pick up, an otherwise low-percentage game.
For the past 7+ years, 5 or 6 days a week,♥ Scotty was either picking up girls or sleeping with one. He rarely took consecutive days off.
♥ - for the most part
People in the Good Looking Loser Community would always curiously ask -
Where's Scotty??
since he would randomly disappear from the forum for long periods of time.
Where was he?
He was picking up girls or literally having sex with one/some of them. He might have been sleeping, at the gym or staring at his fantasy football team, but those chances were less likely.
Even I, one of his closet friends, had trouble getting ahold of him after about 5 pm.
We got to know a lot of the 'professional' pick up artists in our day, both in New York and Los Angeles, the vast majority of them didn't pick up girls anytime other than at their workshops. Some of them only went out to "practice" prior to their workshops which they referred to as a "maintenance night" or "pre-game".
Scotty, however, was really living the lifestyle.
Although I suggest "picking up girls" as part of your overall lifestyle after you beat approach anxiety, picking up girls literally was the lifestyle for Scotty. He would feel restless and wouldn't be home unless he was having sex or sleeping.
The Soho District, Brooklyn, Queens, Upstate, Long Island, bars, clubs, gyms, restaurants, malls (until he was asked to never return) - you name it. It was his turf.
He spent 20 to 30 hours a week meeting women, sometimes 40+ hours, sometimes even 50+ if he was doing workshops, sometimes needing only 5 minutes to get horny girls into his car.
The only scenario where he didn't talk to at least 50 girls in a week was when he has a fuckbuddy (or 3) that insisted on having sex with him.
More pussy and more rejections than 99.999% of guys will ever experience.
I don't know ANYONE who got more action from cold-approach pick up and I know plenty of guys that are REALLY GOOD with women.
Aaron Sleazy knows what I'm talking about.
He was the very best at it, by a long shot, in my opinion.
Sex, Drugs and Everything Else
Scotty is HIGHLY genetically prone to substance abuse.
He fed that 'bad wolf' everyday.
Having dealt with my own less destructive addictions, I can tell you that it is indeed a DISEASE.
A disease like cancer, that my brother died from.
A disease like dementia that is currently ravaging my mother's brain.
A disease that has ruined the lives of so many people far more talented than I.
Scotty (ironically, Scotty Flamingo/Raven), lived the life a WWF professional wrestler (minus the wrestling... sometimes...).
His life was a movie and he did his own stunts.
Extreme amounts of sex, drugs and everything under the sun.
Far beyond "Nothing in Moderation".
An unsatisfiable self-destructive quest for adrenaline, euphoria, life and death - by any means necessary.
Wake up and we do it all over again!
Incredible highs.
Even lower lows.
A yo-yo of reality and self-worth.
A lifestyle, car accidents, unmeasured cocktails and 4 on 1 street fights that would have killed a weaker man a long time ago.
I lived a similar but, but by comparison, much more mundane lifestyle in my mid/late 20's.
It was always supposed to be "a stage" both for of us.
We swore to it.
Scotty never stopped though.
Until now.
Who Is Brian Harris (Scotty)?
After well over a decade of sex/drug abuse, with just over 1 month of total sobriety (by far the longest to date), Scotty is learning who he is.
He didn't remember what sober life was like and dismissed it a non-option for so many years.
At the zenith of his "career", with 10+ fuckbuddies and an endless supply for the taking - he became genuinely more interested in helping others Get Laid and appreciate their lives.
He was living the life of dreams and everyone else's dreams - but also the nightmare that he desperately wanted to awake from.
He is a very, very, very giving person who would get out of bed in a full withdrawal to help a friend in need.
At heart, he is probably more caring and less entitled than I.
I've always known this about him and he is just re-learning that about himself as his real consciousness returns.
Pour Conclure
Like Scotty, I neither want to romanticize nor dwell on this particular part of the past.
It was a stage of massive success and destruction.
All there is today and hopefully tomorrow.
Thankfully my friend will get to experience it.
There's always a chance that Scotty "comes out of retirement" but that is hardly worth entertaining right now.
His priority is and should be on recovery.
From picking up girls to bodybuilding to anything he's ever put his mind/time to, Scotty has won and won big.
This next challenge, which is off to a good start, will be his next victory.
I want to wish him well and lend my support.
He is the reason that Good Looking Loser lives.

If you left him a note below, it would be much appreciated.
These kind of things really motivate him.

Brian my man, thanks for everything you've provided.
After crazy years of sex, I've now been in celibacy 17 months, and as you might know I have lived without drinks or drugs for years - my focus these days is also completely on other stuff than girls.
You can always shoot me an email or give me a call if you wanna talk.
Un abrazo muy fuerte pero no tan fuerte que tuyo porque eres muy muy fuerte de verdad!!!

Damn, this really sucks to hear... someone very close to me is also highly genetically prone to substance abuse and I´ve watched him and was by his side in the dark times. Still struggles with it today, so although it hasn´t happened personally to me, I know what watching someone go through the struggle is like. Brian, I really wish you a speedy recovery. Although we have never met, I am so grateful for your kindness and everything you and Chris both have done for all of us. To be honest you all are my biggest inspiration and I really look up to you. I really hope someday soon I will get to shake your guys hand and be able to spend time working with you if you decide to come back. That is one of my life goals is to be able to work with you and learn from you. Like you said in that one podcast. "It´s about building better men" and "we´re better as a whole". That really stuck with me. Please get well soon and come back!
Hey Scotty,

Hey Scotty,
I'll never forget the day when we went out in NY. You opened my eyes to what was possible and had/have a huge impact on my life. It's not even your skills with women that are impressive, It's you as a person. I've met very few people who care as much as you do. You're a really great guy and I'm honored to have met you.
I hope your recovery goes well and I wish you luck in your future ventures. You deserve the best.
Hi Brian, I wish you all the best on your journey.
On a podcast last year with Chris, you talked about how Killer Instinct = Emotional Honesty, and this was one of the - if not THE - most inspiring advice I ever heard. Thank you very much.
Brian, you are an amazing inspiration to us all, myself included, even though we haven't met. I also am always personally overjoyed when I realize that helping other guys means the world to you. To cap this off, I want to give you a big huge...
Brian, you are an amazing inspiration to us all, myself included, even though we haven't met. I also am always personally overjoyed when I realize that helping other guys means the world to you. To cap this off, I want to give you a big huge brotherly hug. Thank you for all that you do. I wish you a speedy recovery. You can do it...just set your mind to it as you've done with all your other huge major accomplishments. Much love brother.
Thanks for inspiring me so much. Good luck in the future.

Man Scotty, you've always been a great inspiration to me on this site. Chris always raving about how relentlessly you hit numbers, displayed raw instinct and helped other members in need was all I needed to know you were the real deal. Not to mention the multiple podcasts you've been featured in to share your knowledge with us. I really wanted to get coaching from you eventually, but I unfortunately never had the money or time to set that up.
Nonetheless, I'm glad to read the content of this article. On this site, we're all about self-improvement and learning how to teach ourselves and you are no exception. It takes balls of titanium to do what you have up to this point and the same goes for the steps you're taking right now. The community is behind you, bro. Best wishes on the life ahead. Don't be a stranger.
Scotty--what youve said in the podcasts has had a huge impact on my life. Not only about women but about being a man in general. You've got a gift for this bro, you inspire people, and I can't thank you enough. Take care of yourself man and...
Scotty--what youve said in the podcasts has had a huge impact on my life. Not only about women but about being a man in general. You've got a gift for this bro, you inspire people, and I can't thank you enough. Take care of yourself man and please return to us with your wisdom someday soon.
I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!
To anyone reading this, follow through, read this material, APPLY this material, and enjoy life.
Thanks again Chris, life would suck without you.
