A three-day course called "Charm School Boot Camp" is offering lessons to men who have trouble picking up women. The weekend-long course is being offered in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London and Sydney and anybody willing to fork over the $1,600 fee is eligible to enroll. Charm School is run by a Michigan-based company called Charisma Arts. Men begin with lessons in attraction and are then taken on a field trip of sorts to a bar or club so instructors can assess how well they've assimilated the information. The next day, the instructors critique their students' performances and give them pointers on how they can improve. The men are then unleashed into the world again to see if they can get it right this time.
