Thoughts on "The Game" – By Neil Strauss

What do you guys think of the game? have you read it?
I read it back in 2009 and thought I had some esoteric knowledge, as if I had to holy grail.

Within a few years It slowly came upon me that the book was BS and it was hard for me to determine how much of this book was fiction and how much actually happened to the author in the story he was telling.

In conclusion, I still have the book but it’s taken with a grain of salt, a good story, but im sure that’s mostly what it is, hyped up and over embellished stories.

This book was my purple pill.

Thoughts?

The book and the whole PUA scene is pure rubbish. So many guys are doing this PUA s~~~ now that women are totally clued into NEGS and all that other nonsense.

That is all!

When I read it, I thought it was going to be some “PUA 101” book. That’s absolutely not what it is at all: what it really is is a piece of nonfiction, a documentary of sorts, written by a journalist to expose this underground society. When I hear people say “The Game advocates terrible, misogynist things!” I really wonder if we’re talking about the same book.

Also interesting about The Game is that its moral is that men get into PUA because they hate themselves and think that hooking up with a lot of women will make them like themselves. (Spoiler: it doesn’t help.)

Its very outdated. Every good “pua” is open about that fact. He was just one of the first. Thats it.
