The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene

[gentleman193]

Anybody read this?

I'm finding it gets to the point a lot quicker than The DJ Bible and adds colorful historical references to famous DJ's from history -- from Casanove to Cleopatra.

It also breaks down effective behavior into a dozen different types instead of the one or two mentioned on these forums and talks about "victim selection" -- knowing what moves to use with which women (or men for the ladies). It goes a lot deeper than "treat a discount like a premium and vice versa."

There is really a wealth of info here backed up with solid history. If you've read it tell me what you think. I am trying to put this to use in some summer-school classes.

Absolute piss. No use at all.
If you see a hot girl in a bar, there is nothing in that book that will assist you in any way in approaching or engaging her.
It was written by a guy who just put "seduction" into a computer at the library and wrote about the results.
I don't rate it at all.

It can't be taken literally for an immeadiate application to real life. It is firgutive and allows you to add color to your own methodolgy and stylistic ways of PU.

I don't think it's so bad as these people above make it sound. It's more helpful if you are pursing a particular woman, rather than improving your overall game and generating dates.
I'd say definitely worth a read! (well not worth $30 something, but if you get ur hands on it)

Right, it's not a pickup manual. You don't seduce a barfly. It's intended for winning one quality woman, heart and mind first. The rest, as we know, will follow . . . and probably swallow, too . . .
