It is also full of tips used successfully by these PUAs to pick up women.įrom a woman's perspective, it is amusing to see how PUAs often perceive picking up women - basically a game in which the aim is to score points - be it as many telephone numbers as possible in a night, or bedding a woman. The Game is a gripping story about the pick up artist (PUA) underground community, the plight of a PUA living experiment, and the PUAs within it.

I was recommended The Game by a fellow female, who told me that it would help me to understand the confidence tricks that certain men use to pick up women. You can read on them to understand human interaction with the opposite sex and play your own version of the game. If you read the book until the end with an open-mind, you can easily spot the references to real invaluable stuff like the body-language analysis, human psychology and evolutionary biology.

With guest appearances from Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise (whose character in Magnolia is based on a real-life pick-up artist) and Courtney Love, who lived with Neil in 'Project Hollywood' for a while, 'THE GAME' is also the most sensational relationships manual since 'The Rules', essential reading for men and women alike. By turns jaw-dropping, poignant and side-splittingly funny, 'THE GAME' is a gripping portrait of a mad, self-referential community in the process of slow implosion. He used his Game techniques on Britney Spears.

He became friends with the other players. In the course of two years, he transformed himself from a self-confessed balding, skinny writer into the quick-thinking, smooth-talking style, a character irresistible to women, half psychologist, half magician.

Neil Strauss lived among the players and survived - but not before he became one of them. These are men with their own vernacular and codes of honour, who operate on-line and in person, who are so committed to honing their strategies that they give each other seminars and live together in shared houses - or 'Projects', as they like to call them. In 'THE GAME', Neil Strauss delves into the bizarre underworld of 'pick-up artists' - men who have devoted their lives to different techniques of seducing women.
