god dammit...

I just lost the game.

No. Unless you want to start talking like this:

"Naww man, you just weren't sarging the sets and AMOGING the AFC's to get past the shit test and then making kino escalation while negging the target to get IOI's from them.
If did all this while you were peacocking and being cocky and funny then maybe you have one-itis, because a woman's NLP obviously says if you do all of this then you'll at least get a kiss close."

Haha. A lot of guys get so caught up with the lingo and theory that they don't realize they're standing around looking like a bunch of creeps.


If you want to improve your pick-up skills, or if you have no idea what's going on at all, I recommend you check out David DeAngelo's stuff. What he explains in his book is the basic psychology behind things. He just reminds you that it's all about having fun and being yourself, and not acting like a robot and treating it like rocket science.

I dunno man...he's still pretty sensationalistic about it, isn't he? I didn't read all of The Game, but it seemed like the only book that just told things as they were without all of the "DO YOU WANT TO LAY ANY WOMAN YOU WANT?!" shit.

Well yeah - I mean, he has to make his money somehow, so he has to present his stuff as something "unique".

What I don't like about "The Game", is that it focuses too much on techniques, and not much on the attitudes. (At least that's the impression I got after reading the first few chapters).

While the main messages in "Double your dating" are:

1). Everything's a skill. Get enough practice in anything, and you'll be able to do it. Always keep improving yourself, in every aspect.
2). Be positive. Never bring yourself down in your thoughts. Don't take your misfortunes personally. Keep trying. Set your goal and work your way to it.
3). Be fun to be around. Don't give women everything they want, don't play their games, always be cool and in control. Tease them, be cocky and funny, and generally have a good time - on your terms.

So it's all pretty basic stuff, that just puts you in the right frame of mind, without killing your personality for it. While the PUAs seem to bring it all down to almost an exact sequence of phrases and actions, that they claim will work on any woman. In "The Game" they seem to treat people as Pavlov's dogs - I don't really agree with it. Compare that to DYD:

"In the process I realized something very important: No tactic works on every woman. Some women are not interested in meeting someone right now.
Some women are lesbians and have no interest in men.
Some women are happily married or in a relationship and don't want to meet someone new right now.
Some women are angry.
Some are cold.
My guess is that in a random group of 100 women, only about 30 of them might be open to meeting someone new right now (In a romantic sense).
What this means is that 70 AREN'T interested in meeting someone new.
And of the 30 who are interested in meeting someone new, maybe only 15 are nice, friendly, happy people. Do you see where I'm going with this?
If you want to be successful at meeting women, you have to
understand that many of the women that you talk to aren't interested.
Most people take things like this PERSONALLY. Instead of just moving on to the next woman, they get all uptight and feel bad about it."

So yeah, I personally think DeAngelo's book better. Definitely helped me understand what's going on when I was a clueless teen. "The Game", the bits that I read, didn't really do much to me.

Goddamn that sounded like an advert. :D

"Naww man, you just weren't sarging the sets and AMOGING the AFC's to get past the shit test and then making kino escalation while negging the target to get IOI's from them.

Bitch, you could have at least quoted me.


"The Game" was a mildly entertaining book and it's not a very big book so why not just read it?.

Lawl. DerDrache, a pick up artist. Aren't women, like... allergic to you?

And no, I don't consider myself a pick-up artist.

I just lost the game.

wtf is a blankooie?

hahahaha you shithead.

Yeah me too now that you mention it. Fuck.

I read the game by neill strauss, and it was pretty good and gave me a lil peek into the world of PUAs. I'm starting up on mystery's book now. "How to get beautiful women in bed with you" I think it's called.

I would read The Game, just torrent the audio CD's and you'll get through it pretty fast.

I found a torrent for the Mystery Method. It's all a bunch of really basic knowledge of social dynamics and things you learned about girls in high school.

Seriously, he's not going to give you any real knowledge from experience unless you pay like 2 grand and take some seminars. If you were a pick up artist, would you want to give away all your secrets to someone who can just download a book?

Yes, it is a brillaint book-
Read it, Niell Struass is a genius!
