[GAME05]

it seems to be a trend now. i've been reading up on it for about two months now. i've had so-so success but have generally liked it. curious if anybody else has been getting into it and what your reaction has been. i'll add that i've been listening to podcasts of David DeAngelo and Daygame, and currently reading "The A Game."

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I read Neil Straus's "The Game" which is all about pick up artists and found it a fascinating read. Highly recommend it.

i have a friend who has been studying it for a long time and i've been getting into it for the past couple of months. i see how it has benefited him, so have been curious if it has made any sort of difference with other people on here, especially as the whole concept is becoming more and more popular.

 

i mention it to other friends and they immediately conjure up an image of the slimeball saying "hey baby what's your sign?", but it isn't really like that. it's more the psychological 'what repels, what attracts, and why.' certainly all of the advice kind of ends in some brewerfan-inappropriate question, but then that's what sells DVDs and that part isn't one i prescribe to.

 

i haven't used it to approach a random girl on the street yet, but the information at least has helped me to become more social, and being the Average Frustrated Chump that i am, has helped me to figure out some things that i'd been doing wrong. so i've just been curious if other people here have had any experiences with it and so on.

The Game is an interesting read but I find it interesting that people fail to remember that in the end he realizes that there is more to life than women and begins to find the vain, self-indulgent life that was living to be kind of grotesque. The lessons about confidence and how to put yourself in a situation where people see value in you seem to be just good life skills, but I get nervous when I see people trying to take it too far and letting it fuel an unhealthy obsession with attracting women.
