Neil Strauss's "Rules of the Game"

[seek&destroy]

Has anyone read it, and applied the techniques within the book? If so, what did you think?

I read "The Game" and that was absolutely mind-blowing. Phenomenal work!
Now, I am looking forward to reading this book, which I am expecting to be delivered tomorrow. Just needed to see what some of the fellow PUAs think about this.

Crap. There are no "rules."

I am in the process of reading it, so far it is a great read. He is a very skilled writer, so it would be a fun read regardless is you improved or not.

However obviously anyone who buys it is looking to learn something from it, and there is plenty to learn from it. Its basically a combination of Mystery Method, Ross Jeffries and many of styles and techniques put together, as well as some original stuff which is what makes it interesting.

I think the style that "style teaches" is that at least in my opinion is much more realistic and pertinant ot most of the people on this board. Some of the other books are great, but they also teach techniques that are a bit out there, and most people don't have the type of personality that could pull it off.

"Rules of the Game" however teaches you the basic fundamentals, as well as advanced techniques. It gives you canned openers and routines but doesn't force you to rely on them. He also covers a lot of topics that I have thought about myself in personal reflection that most other books don't cover.

Its kind of hard to explain and I am rambling, but I am about half way through, and although I thought I knew all the fundamentals before I started reading, I have definiately changed a bunch and for the better, and my success demonstrates that.

"The Game" was an amazing read, like I mentioned in the earlier post. It's just unbelievable to see those PUA's with sooooo much confidence break down like Mystery did. I'm glad he's back though.

It seems to me though, that "Rules of the Game" is a way different approach to pick-ups. Neil has completely changed the style of the book and made it more into a self-help guide. My friend let me read the first 2 chapters in it, and I was simply blown away by it, so much that I just had to get my hands on it.

Hopefully this will change the way I see myself and the world around me. I am tired of being in this position, and I am just about ready to do something drastic about it.

See...I am still a virgin, at the age of 21. I haven't had a date in 6 years...and to top it all off...my 15 year old sister is no longer a virgin...to say the least I am a bit frustrated and that is why I have given into self-help programs...

This site helps...but with me, it's more for theoretical use...I never applied techniques I've read on here out of fear of rejection, or worse yet, being humiliated by an HB10. There's is this one girl in my college class right now. She is hot as hell, but I can tell she's got a major ***** Shield up at all times. I am thinking if I see her tomorrow, I will throw a bit of Negs her way, see where it takes me. I'll let you know how it went!

I look forward to an update on the situation in class you just mentioned. But yeah so far "rules of the game" seems to not only tackle and discuss the PUA community and techniques, but also focuses on some of the inner struggles a PUA or anyone in the 18-30 age bracket goes through, such as minor cases of identity crisis, as well as changing expectations for you life in general as well as confidence and all kinds of social stigmas, situations and everything.

While the book is understandably very, very focused on improving yourself as a PUA, it also tackles other aspects like I mentioned which is why it is a must read for any PUA in my opinion, especially ones in the 18-30 y/o demographic.

I've got something to neg her on, and it's pretty serious actually...

About 2 weeks ago, she called one of the guys in our class a fag cuz he was too outspoken and took a long time to explain his point, no matter what it was that he was talking about. I am going to pull her aside and run the old c&f routine on her...

"You may be acting b1tchy/tough, but I know that underneath that "tough" exterior, you're actually a little girl who is insecure and constantly looking for approval of those around you."

hopefully it works. wish me luck!

haha good luck, I like it, as Neil would put it "There are no failures, only things you learn from for next time" Obviously he is not the first to say it but its a good thing to live by none the less.
