The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists


Since I posted about the kinds of books out there to guide us women (i.e. "The Rules" and "He's Just Not That Into You") I thought it was appropriate to let you ladies know the kind of literature that the men are reading. If you haven't read it yet, I definitely recommend you read "The Game." This book chronicles one man's journey from geek to player under the guidance of Mystery, a self-proclaimed master of game who does seminars across the globe to help men become "pick-up artists." Ladies, if you've been out in Hollywood, chances are you've had some of these tricks attempted on you. A few notable examples:

1) The Neg - Complimenting yet insulting a woman at the same time. Example: "It is so cute how your teeth are kind of crooked"

2) Peacocking - When a man wears something really flamboyant, i.e. lots of rings, or jewelry or loud clothing in order to get attention

3) Magic Tricks (I'm serious. They suggest men do magic to pick up women!


Here's a pic of the author, before and after he attending the "Pick Up Artist Seminar"... I think it speaks for itself.




In any case, this is a fun, revealing read that definitely explains why we have LMS and why LA is No Man Land.
