First off, it was good book. There's nothing as inspiring as reading a story about rags to riches. I must say that the The Game didn't end the way I thought it would. While I was reading it, the book actually was getting me pumped up to start getting back out there. But at the end, Style ends up looking at the community with disdain and points out how souless, empty and robotic that the PUAs were. By the time I got to the end, I was starting to wonder whether the whole game is all it's cracked up to be. That enthusiam I had in the beginning and middle of the book died out by the end, and now leaves me skeptical. It also sounds like a lot of women have now heard this material already because so many guys have tried using it. I do think there are great lessons to be learned from the book, and overall, it is VERY encouraging to read the story of a guy that starts off as an AFC, work his way up to banging HB10s and then after that find the perfect girl that's a true challenge.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

listen I may only have 3 posts, but heed my advice
Style says you dont want to be a PUA robot, you want to be a Don Juan. a DJ has other passions in his life, that are much more important than women. THat being said its not a total sin to learn pick up & he wouldnt of bagged Leveridge without it

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
If you fill your life with nothing but pick-up, interpret every world event as a routine or opener, see women solely as targets and obstacles, and base all actions, studies, hobbies in your life around their effect on PUA, then you have the problem Style describes. But studying PUA doesn't turn you into that, not moderating does. I've been following MM for over a year now and have a very active social life outside of PUA, study martial arts, attend an amazing university, and have a lot going on for me outside of women, and I know several other MM wings of mine who are in similar positions. The problem Style describes is people who study PUA no holds barred (like Papa who drops out of school to form RSD).speakeasy said:

Plus women are on the watch for "line spinners" nowadays. Just as in the book, there are AFCs out there using the same lines in the same cities on the same women. Women may be naive but they aren't stupid. Guys like this stick out like a sore thumb and are jokes among women and their girlfriends.

It was an awesome book and I did feel the same way towards the end of the book but I kept in mind why I got into this "game." I was tired of women walking all over me and them having all the power in the interaction. Whenever some thought creeps in on why I'm working on this stuff, reading books and other stuff.....I go back to thinking when I was last heartbroken, dumped or humiliated by a woman because I sucked at playing the game.
