Analysis of "The Game" book by Neil Strauss

[Nighthawk]

Getting a girl to close her eyes then kissing her, only for her to 'freak out'? Doesn't sound very great to me. Why not just pinch their ass and run away if that's all your aiming for?

You guys can't take this book literally, in fact you can't take most books literally. Authors make sh!t up all the time to SELL. It's a business. I can just easily go out there, make up some crazy story, and say it's all true!

Don't forget, do you know what Neil did before becoming involved in the game? he was, and is a writer. Yes a journalist, the guy can write, and he's pretty good at it.

One last thing that stands out in the Game. How in the world can he remember every line he said to every girl, what they replied with, in the last 5 years??? Heck, I can't even remember what I said to the last girl I talked to 5 minutes ago. let alone every word she replied with. Seriously, try and remember the last dialogue you had with a babe. I can maybe remember a few words and thats it!! But yet he gets word for word dialogue with waitresses that occurred over 3 years ago. Impossible.

Its all B.S. PAy attention to the dialogue, it doesn't sound congruent. It leaves you scratching your head. The reponses and lines just don't sound like twop people are having a flowing conversation. He does have some decent points, but the objective of this book was to sell obviously, unless he likes throwing away money.

a lot of them he took them verbatim from field reports he posted on the ASF newsgroups. twentysix's lay report is posted word for word in the book, except his name was changed. if you go to fastseduction.com, you could probably dig some of them up. a lot of PUA's also kept journals gauging their progress

another thing, TD had a really keen mind for social psychology and was obsessed with game, so much that he was sometimes sociopathic. but a lot of concepts came from him - IE buying temp, amog-ing. on top of that, he had a lot of insight into the learning process, validation, openers, direct vs indirect, etc that were meant to help people gain a sense of clarity. he was more helpful than anything else

I remember reading the FR about that kiss close when it happened. It was a good kind of freak out, where her buying temp was pumped up so much it was like emotion overload. The girl also tried to pull TD into the backroom right after but there were a ton of customers watching so TD ended up getting self-conscious and freezing up. Up to the freeze up, that's really good situational attraction game
