I found myself in awe of the way he let negative things just bounce off of him.
THE SECRET SOCIETY OF PICKUP ARTISTS HOW TO
I found myself oft times thinking "oh I seeeee!"ģ - Not end up really liking this guy! He is definitely charming and dare I say, cool, but to that lovely place where he also knows how to laugh at himself as well. However, there are a couple of things I would suggest a reader could do after turning that first page.Ģ - Not enjoy some of the 'methods' of pick-up detailed within. This didn't quite go in the direction I was led to believe it would by others who claimed to have read it (goes to once again assert my theory that ALL reviews and reviewers should be ignored - in fact I wouldn't bother reading this in your place!)
Want something darker for your money, try The Internet Date There's something to be said for that, although it's really only a modern re-write on 'he who hesitates will fail'.īy the end of the book, with all the various pick up artists seemingly falling out or losing their way or just getting tired of 'the game', you begin to ask yourself, would any of this really work for me? Hopefully you realise you're so much better off playing your own game and just being yourself - with a tad more confidence. That said I do like that tip about counting to 3, and then just throwing yourself into some kind of a conversation with the person who's caught your eye.
These methods all come from the art of salesmanship - and I don't think we like sale people very much in the UK. I think if I went up to a woman I was attracted to and tried any of these 'methods' on her, shey'd run a mile, mistaking me for some kind of lunatic or stalker. It was funny, honest and eye-opening.īut most people - should I say men? - will be reading The Game for tips on how to pick up girls and, for me, I found it strangely dated already and actually so American it would surely be regarded as dysfunctional here in Europe by most men, those who aren't pathologically shy, at any rate. I enjoyed the section that dealt with the politics of the business of pick up artists. As for The Game, it was an easy read, if a bit uneven, part narrative part how to. Want a novel on the dating game, that is both funny and deeply moving? Try The Internet Date You might not pick up any great dating tips but you will be amazed at the entanglements the characters find themselves in. I want it to inspire you to dig deep inside yourself and figure out what’s stopping you from making yourself happy: I want it to inspire you to embrace and engage with love, in an honest and healthy way." But more than that, I want you to think critically about it, about what it says about you and the world around you and your romantic relationships. I want women to read it, and men - especially men - to read it. I want your families, your friends, your coworkers, and your colleagues to read this book. The review in Grantland described it as follows: He can be found at His latest book, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships, was released on October 13.
