This book should only be used by people who want a fascinating story about a very disturbing and weird society. I read this as a teenager for pointers on how to talk to women, and it was the worst decision I had ever made

A fascinating look at the highs and lows of being a pick up artist, and eventually walking away from "The Game". Interesting for those intrigued by psychology.

A seminal expose of a grassroots men's study and movement. It shows hokiness, awkwardness... and sheer genius in developmental action.

I wish I had this at my access when I was a teenage boy... and I will be absolutely sure my son has it to read when he reaches that age of social frustration.

I read this for research purposes. Was gross. Did not enjoy.

Very good read

A tale of how a man uses women's insecurities to manipulate them into having a relationship (sexual or dating or whatever else) with him and then he eventually ends up in a healthy relationship. Predictably misogynistic. The end.

Creepy but interesting.

Very intriguing look at how several pick up artists operated. Sadly (for them) their tactics would have never worked on me, as I would have never given them the time of day, as I would have assumed they were scam artists trying to con money out of me with the whole "C shaped versus U shaped smile" and the "friendship" tests and other silly nonsense they used as excuses to talk to women and eventually "close the deal." Of course, then again, I am apparently not the type of woman that these pickup artists would go for in the first place.
In spite of all his sleeping around ways, I grew to feel sympathetic towards the protagonist Neil, who was only in the game in the first place to feel more comfortable around women, unlike many of the other guys who were in it for the feelings of power it gave them.
