The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists description
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?

I have to admit The Game was a fun read. Thanks to Strauss's experience as a magazine writer and journalist, his story is broken up into simple, entertaining vignettes that illustrate a greater, overarching theme, making the book accessible to a mass audience, especially non-readers.
Granted, Neil Strauss is a masterful storyteller, you can't take his advice too literally. Strauss, himself, has admitted that "The Game has changed," that the counsel given his 2005 book is now outdated. The Game definitely works on certain "types" of women. However, it's impossible to make sweeping generalizations about an entire group of people based on a hundred personal experiences. There are literally billions of women in the world.
Why it works:
The Game gives men something to say when approaching a woman. It could be anything: a neg, a magic trick, a "cocky-funny" remark. The certainty of feeling that this is in fact the "right" thing to say, thus, eliminating the anxiety arising from insecurity, enables men to approach more women, increasing their odds. Nevertheless, these strategies often attract the "wrong kinds" of women. |
