I just finished reading Neil Strauss's "The Game" (great book). I've condensed it down to a few paragraphs for anyone that hasn't read it or may be interested in looking into it.

Let me know what you think of this short summary of Style's game:

1) Opener: Be a friendly stranger that walks up to a girl and her friends and asks an interesting question (like jealous girlfriend).
a) False time constraint. “I can only stay for a minute because I need to get back to my friends.”
b) Pay attention to the people who seem most likely to shut you out, jealous men and overprotective friends.
c) Throw negs at the target (challenge, tease). "Wow is she always like that? How do you deal with her?" If she looks shocked, reel her back in with a light compliment. Neg her about her voice.

2) Demonstrate Higher Value
Examples: Best friend’s test, teach them something about body language, or analyze handwriting, or “c” chaped vs “u” shaped smiles, ESP experiment, then pretend like you’re going back to your friends.

3) Once you’ve done this, you’ve reached the hook point. Now, relax and enjoy their company. Listen to them and find a real connection. This comfort building can potentially lead to a k-close using any number of k-close routines such as the evolution phase shift.

4) Bounce. Take the target on an insta-date, or take them to another part of the bar, or to another bar. Or tell the target your friends left you and you need a ride home.

5) When you get to your place, invite her in to show her that thing you’ve been telling her about. But first give a false time constraint.
Don’t jump on her immediately. Show her stuff. Be fun.

6) Keep push-pulling in the bedroom to lower her ASD. Always be the first one to object to the sex (stealing her frame).
When you face LMR, back up one or two steps. Cuddle, talk about dumb things, then go back at it again. Freeze her out if necessary. Say “When a woman says no, I respect that. I’m not upset, it just pushes a button in me that turns everything off.” - in a matter-of-fact voice.

I'm going to give you a tip that will make your life much easier. Mystery Method (the same method Style uses) is crap. I will get flamed for saying that but its true. Seduction is simple, you don't need nine different stages to seduce a woman.

Look into "natural game." You will thank me later.

The game isn't a good book to learn from. It just tosses terms around without a full explanation of how it should and shouldn't be used.

It's been a while since I read it so I could be wrong.

Read some more material.

Also

WM, you think that mm sucks. that's cool. But why? If you're gonna say something sucks atleast give people a few pointers on why it sucks.

Natural game still follows a certain routine. But it has much more to do with subcommunications. The way you act around females, your tonality, your body language. It's these things that make naturals so good with women. Observe some naturals and notice how they always act the same around women. Is that purely improvisation? No, it's them.



That's my view on the whole matter.

p.s. yeah i copied and pasted that natural bit from one of my replies from another thread. I think it's a good explanation.

Anyone remember those promotional postcards when it first came out?

They had the 12 steps/sections illustrated under the title "How to ^really pick up girls, The Game." 1. Approach and Open, etc.

_________________

its a good overview of Style's general tactics. I think of the book more as story-telling and an intro to seduction community rather than a seduction manual.

I would also emphasize Style's point to "isolate the target" since that changes the whole SPAM from a group setting to an intimate one.

I also just finished the book, last night actually. im gonna find one with more substance and less storyline next

This isnt a flame at all but i have to dissagree with the SPAM;
I think its the prefect springboard into the community. Its why alot of us are here and without it i would have had no other place to start and would still be hopeless with women.

However i do think its made out to be a bible when its, as i said, the beginning of something not the "be all and end all". Lets just remember it was originaly written as an indepth insight into the community and not a Method.(This is as far as im aware i could be wrong)

I like the post tho buddy.

Regards, Saint

You got it. I agree.

yes all that stuff works

basically it's flirting/bantering

and it feels great when your on a roll

and then it hits one day you are watching another guy do all this stuff, and you watch the girl get intrigued, and she looks over at you, and has become more interested in you simply because you aren't giving her attention.

She feels the only way you'll respect her is if you sleep with her, like she has to validate herself to you, and to me that's just unattractive when they try to prove their worth.

Though it does touch on negative characteristics, like being needy which was more or less a huge problem for me.
