Product Description:
Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year -- guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever.
On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange -- and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince -- to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year.
Amazon.com Review:
Are you just another AFC ('average frustrated chump') trying to meet an HB ('hot babe')? How would you like to 'full-close' with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss's entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant--complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like 'half a man.' That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss's life was transformed. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America's most suave gents--including the best of them all, the God of the pickup 'community,' a man named Mystery.
Mystery is an aspiring Toronto magician who charges $2,250 for a weekend pickup workshop. He is not much to look at: a cross between a vampire and a computer geek. But by using high-powered marketing techniques he's turned seduction into an effortless craft--even inventing his own vocabulary. His technique sounds like a car salesman's tip sheet: his main rule is FMAC--find, meet, attract, close. He employs the 'three-second rule'--always approach a woman within three seconds of first seeing her in order to avoid getting shy. Other tricks: Intrigue a beautiful woman by pretending to be unaffected by her charm; also, never hit on a woman right away. Start with a disarming, innocent remark, like 'Do you think magic spells work?' or 'Oh my god, did you see those two girls fighting outside?' And finally, the most important characteristic of the pickup artist--smile.
After two years, Strauss ends up becoming almost as successful as Mystery, but he comes to an important realization. His techniques were actually off-putting to the woman he ended up falling in love with. And they never prepared him for actually having a relationship. After a while, he ran out of one-liners and had to have a real conversation. Still, The Game is a great read that may help some AFCs come out of their shells. --Alex Roslin

Is this book truely real life? Who cares! This is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. This book outlines a man's personal life as well as giving light the the underground online dating community. The dating advice given in this book does work, however it can lead to self destruction, something that is well documented cover to cover. Read it, learn, and laugh.

I think this is essential reading for every male who has trouble with women. Whether it's just talking to them, getting a date, or just having confidence.
Women have things like Cosmo, Sex in the City, etc. Which tell women how to interact with different types of men. Guy have to figure it all out on their own. This is our guide.
Neil tells of his own journey from frustrated chump who can't talk to women to the best pick up artist in the world. His story shows us it's possible ... Read More

I bought this book and "Secrets of the A Game" by Logan Edwards for my brother. He needs all the help he can get. I cracked this one open and actually couldn't put it down. It's an interesting take on how to attract women, but also a hilarious story about how a chump turns into a ladies man.
