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

Addictive and Fascinating,
By Todd G. (Scottsdale, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Game (Imitation Leather)
This is a fascinating tale of a guy with marginal skills with the ladies (despite fame), who sets out on a life changing mission to master picking up women. I dare you to try and not get hooked in the first few pages. The characters are philanderers, gigolos, wannabes, braggarts, and every dysfunctional category in between. Their quest is obvious, and thrust in your face; to sleep with as many beautiful women as possible. The author Strauss has written several best sellers, as well as for Rolling Stone, and literally has no competition when it comes to spinning tales of this type.It a follow up email, Amazon recommend maybe ten books in this genre. I recommend picking up the best three. The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed, is written by the guru of the seduction community. His encyclopedia-like book reads like a PHD college course on getting laid; it lays out the techniques, terminology, and methodology that Strauss learns in the Game. The other great one is The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide - How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho. This is a devious sexual persuasion guide for hooking up, written by a psych doc who cruised the nightclubs with great success for a decade. It also contains an asset protection guide to set up pre-marriage to shield you from divorce. Get these three, and get ready to laugh and learn. Interesting, provacative books.

The book is a great read,
By Docandwriter (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Game (Imitation Leather)
I've been in the community for a long time (www.seductionboard.com - courses and DVD's), and I've met a number of the people in the book. It's all true, although it's hard for Neil to tell everyone's story. An entertaining and engaging read nonetheless. Recommended.

The Game vs The System,
By Samuel K (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Game (Imitation Leather)
These are quickly becoming my favorite books. Like others, I think it's interesting to compare the Game (Neil Strauss) and the System (Roy Valentine). I've read both books and think they are the best. Here is a summary: The Game looks at the underworld of men in search of the sciences of seduction. The book is compelling as it shows the journey of the main characters as they learn and improve their skills in approaching and bedding women. It's an interesting book that is well written. It acts as a window to another world that most of us can only imagine. The System focus is a 5-step process to pick up women in any situation. The steps are fairly simple and easy to follow and supported by examples throughout the book on how to use them to pick up girls the same day you meet them. The System is primarily a seduction guide. The Game is about Strauss' adventure in the world of seduction. I would recommend both book for anyone interested in learning more about seduction or the world of seduction.
