- Non Conformer


Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground
seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective
techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really
exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the
bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym
Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and
controversial books of the year -- guaranteed to change the lives of men
and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever.




On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist)
to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction
techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise,
Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things
really start to get strange -- and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence.
The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince -- to
prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year. Are you just another AFC
("average frustrated chump") trying to meet an HB ("hot babe")? How would
you like to "full-close" with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend,
are in Neil Strauss's entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick
repellant--complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses,
balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt
like "half a man." That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate
the community of pickup artists. Strauss's life was transformed. He
spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of
the North America's most suave gents--including the best of them all,
the God of the pickup "community," a man named Mystery.

Mystery is an aspiring Toronto magician who charges $2,250 for a weekend pickup
workshop. He is not much to look at: a cross between a vampire and a
computer geek. But by using high-powered marketing techniques he's
turned seduction into an effortless craft--even inventing his own
vocabulary. His technique sounds like a car salesman's tip sheet: his
main rule is FMAC--find, meet, attract, close. He employs the
"three-second rule"--always approach a woman within three seconds of
first seeing her in order to avoid getting shy. Other tricks: Intrigue a
beautiful woman by pretending to be unaffected by her charm; also,
never hit on a woman right away. Start with a disarming, innocent
remark, like "Do you think magic spells work?" or "Oh my god, did you
see those two girls fighting outside?" And finally, the most important
characteristic of the pickup artist--smile.

After two years, Strauss ends up becoming almost as successful as Mystery, but
he comes to an important realization. His techniques were actually off-putting to
the woman he ended up falling in love with. And they never prepared him
for actually having a relationship. After a while, he ran out of one-liners and
had to have a real conversation. Still, The Game is a great read that may help
some AFCs come out of their shells. --Alex Roslin

Review:
"The Game", at first, appears to be an informative, eye-opening,
entertaining and DANGEROUS MANUAL ON HOW TO SEDUCE WOMEN. Deep within
this controversial book, however, lies one of the best self improvement
books available to man... as long as he understands and embraces the
fundamental reality that the acquisition of confidence and personal
worth are strictly required in order to succeed at the Game. A lot of
low self esteem individuals will read this book and become, I believe,
better men.

And I completely understand the threat many women
would feel by this material. But intelligent women are insulated from
the manipulation at which many of the individuals featured in this story
are so inept. Only the naïve are at risk, as they always have been.

Many people refer to this book as a manual on how to seduce women. But Neil
Strauss, its author, never made such a claim. It was merely his honest
and humorous account of his experience in the PUA (pickup artist)
community. But Strauss is a talented writer. And, as such, he not only
managed to make this the very entertaining and insightful manual
everybody said it was, but has also given an extremely valuable tool to
goodhearted men with benign goals - a tool that can be used with mutual
benefit, without anyone getting hurt or played. In spite of other
reviewers' claims to the contrary, Strauss does disclose the nature and
vivid examples of the emotional and spiritual consequences PUAs reap
when they manipulate people for narcissistic purposes.

This endeavor began when Strauss, a writer for the New York Times, was given
an assignment to write about the underground pickup artist community.
Strauss was a skinny, balding intellectual who felt awkward around women
and hadn't had much success with them prior. He immediately homed in on
a character named Mystery and hit the mother load. Mystery was a modern
day Casanova and widely considered, by the cumulative underground
community of PUAs, to be the preeminent pickup artist in the world. Tom
Cruise's seduction guru character in "Magnolia" was supposedly based on
Mystery. By the time Strauss finished his assignment, he had transformed
himself and assumed Mystery's title as tenth degree pickup master of
the universe.

As I began reading the book, I felt uneasy. Knowing
this knowledge was out there felt akin to suddenly discovering a bunch
of troubled kids figured out how to make nuclear weapons.

I've always had great interest in psychology and what makes people do the
things they do. I discovered my knowledge of psychology was pale in
comparison to these guys. They (the serious ones) study contemporary
literature on psychology and ancillary subjects, many of which involve
some sort of self-improvement. The young, horny ones operate with one
laser-focused mission: Bed women... bed as many "9+" women as possible!
The more they bed, the more they validate themselves. But some, more
enlightened ones, were simply looking to find the best wife/partner they
possibly could.

Strauss began as Mystery's student. After a few
successes, he began to catch the eye of other PUAs to whom he quickly
acclimated himself. He soaked up their knowledge like a sponge. At the
end of two years, Strauss had studied, one-on-one, the methods of all
the world's alleged greatest pickup artists and took that which best
suited his own personal style and made it his own. In the process he
became an underground, worshipped legend - Code Name: Style. But in the
process, he also greatly strengthened his core person and acquired the
Holy Grail: self-esteem. This book doesn't just contain the cumulative
knowledge of the PUA community, but one hell of an entertaining story.

It must be stated that the Game's contribution to much of Strauss'
unstoppable success is mitigated by the fact that he was a writer for
one of the most respected publications in the world, living in a mansion
in the Hollywood Hills over Sunset Boulevard (a consequence of rising
to the top of the PUA community), regularly interviewing celebrities and
driving a nice car; most men with these assets aren't having issues
dating. Still, I believe the majority of what he achieved was aided by
his mastery of the basic principals of "The Game". And those are:

1. You can only "game" a woman with whom you are prepared to fail (if you
find yourself wanting her too badly, you'll never have her)
2. Exude extreme confidence
3. Demonstrate some kind of value, skill or talent NEAR your target, but
not directly to her. Initially, pretend you don't even notice her.
4. Win over her friends
5. Be hard to get
6. Be fun
7. Handle challenges from competing men intellectually and psychologically. Never fight.
8. Respond to any signs that she's not interested as if it were "no big deal"
9. Once you have your target's attention, playfully insult ("neg") her.
For example, "I like your hair, is that your natural color?" The more
beautiful the woman, the more effective the neg is in garnering interest
as they rarely hear comments of that nature.
10. Once attraction has been established, punish any unwanted behavior by withdrawing and
disinterest, but do not pout or have an attitude.
11. Alternate between attraction and disinterest signals in a push-pull fashion until rapport is established

There are many other rules, but those are the ones that stuck out to me.

As I read, I found myself subconsciously adjusting my behavior, according
to Game theory... and getting surprising results. Women that used to
intimidate me with their "presence" were suddenly acting goofy/nervous
around me. Could this be real? After I got over the initial excitement
of my newfound knowledge, I began to get disappointed that the women
that made ME goofy/nervous for so long could be so easily manipulated. I
feared that I would start to lose respect for women. Who wants someone
they don't respect?

But by the time I got to the end, I realized that I wasn't manipulating anyone. I
was simply carrying myself with more confidence. I found myself initiating
conversations with strangers. There were no signs of neediness or social anxiety. I
realized a man with a conscience can take a small portion of the
knowledge shared in "The Game" to simply get over that first, most
difficult hurdle of establishing rapport with a woman to whom he is
attracted. I realized all anyone reading this book is really looking for
is confidence. And many individuals that happen to gain a skill or
talent as a result of his quest for a better sex life might just get
some self esteem in the process. And that, I believe, is the greatest
good of this material. The greater one's self esteem, the higher his
goals.

Knowledge is power. And it's only how that power is used
that can reveal the nature of its possessor. The only real dangerous
"players" out there are the ones whose cognitive reasoning and emotional
maturity never fully develop and, at the same time, possess
Oscar-worthy acting skills. Yeah, there are a few out there. But an
intelligent woman knows when she's being played. And as Strauss saw
repeatedly, manipulating and seducing a woman, in and of itself, is a
victory that invariably leaves one hollow, still unfulfilled. In the
end, your true self is what counts and is the only thing that can find
and keep love."

Interesting, looks like it might become a movie soon.

This is absolutely not fiction. Been there.
Thought the girl was a possessed evil succubus but I was wrong.
She had read and mastered this book.
15 years later she's still at it.
Non-readers beware.

I don't know... Neil Strauss tries to portray himself as the lovable loser-type who couldn't get laid at a brothel. Yet he was/is a highly succesful rock journalist, buddies with many of the most popular stars in the world. And someone who belongs to that inner circle can't impress any women? With free tickets, the opportunity to meet and greet etc... No way, unless he's pathologically shy - and how can you be a journalist if you're shy? You HAVE to be social, know how to make people like you and open up to you... seduce them, in fact. So I have a hard time believing his personal journey as described here. Feels somewhat disingenious. Of course the way he describes the PUA scene is very entertaining.

I hope that's what most believe and never read this book.

Although if you read the book, you realize it doesn't matter how much people read it, it works, plain and simple.
