Despite the subtitle of The Game – “Penetrating the Society of Pickup Artists,” the author, Neil Strauss not only goes behind the scenes of the culture of pickup artists, he completely emerges himself in the lifestyle. He did this so well, he became one of the most famous Pickup Artists, or PUA’s as they call themselves in the world.

The Game is at heart a cautionary tale, the sort told by rock stars. Strauss claims the typical pick-up artist is a nerdy, emotionally underdeveloped man, who has chosen to reinvent themselves as sexually irresistible to the opposite sex. They use nuances of social behavior and “running programs” that are meant to hijack these social structures. These methods are often modeled after a technique called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) designed by Ross Jeffries, one of the first people to run lectures on PUA. It combines a form of hypnosis with a language of gestures and verbal cues meant to entice women to have sex.

Strauss’ techniques he learned from his friend Mystery, called the “Mystery Method”. The technique is based on the concept of an “indirect approach,” befriending the companions of a target while ignoring her in order to make the PUA more attractive. After studying Mystery’s techniques, Strauss shaves his head, trades in his clothing, and becomes “Style.” As Style, he successfully hits on dozens of women, possibly hundreds-if this story is to be believed.

The book does warn of the negative side of such a lifestyle. Strauss describes a world that dehumanizes not only the women but also the men. He describes it as a culture in which many of the men are social robots and are unable or uninterested in any activity beyond seducing an endless number of women.

Neil Strauss, on the other hand, managed to get out of the cycle and got himself a girlfriend. While Neil is no longer active in the pickup artist arena, he acknowledges the large number of followers he has in every city. Strauss describes today’s PUAs imitating him as an army or group of clones.

Despite Strauss’ numerous assurances that all of Style’s encounters in The Game are true. There are many that seem like something out of a fiction novel or movie. However, Neil Strauss has managed to lure you into the world so perfectly, that a reader will finish the book wonder if he or she has been the one to be played.


The art of how to pick up girls is not difficult. All you need is to get a good grip beneath their shoulders and lift.

I think if it were this easy, most guys still wouldn’t be able to do it with all their mental blocks.“What if, I lift her and she thinks I’m ugly? What If, I lift her and then I don’t know where to take her? What if, there’s another guy who just lifted her recently and he’s a better lifter?” The list of “what if’s” is infinite when you consider most guys are scared to death about talking to a strange woman. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Fear not, there is hope.

It is possible to learn how to attract and pick up women, even if you have never done it before. Sometimes it requires little adjustments to your personality. Sometimes big ones. Regardless, starting from any skill level, you can go from “not being able to talk to a girl” to being very successful with women in a short period of time by following a few key concepts.

If you care about what the girl thinks of you, you are destined to fail. Let’s face it, there are going to be many girls you are not compatible with. Many of them won’t live up to your expectations and you won’t live up to many of theirs. You must get over this, and not care if you succeed or get rejected. If you care you will do everything you can NOT to screw up. Consequently, this makes you screw up.

When you talk to someone for the first time, there’s a reason you are talking to them. Like when you go shopping for a car, you might walk into a dealership. Does that mean you will purchase the car? No way! You’re only going to purchase the car is if it’s a good investment and the salesman is competent. The same applies to dating. When you go out and you meet a girl, keep in mind YOU won’t take her home unless you like her.

Many guys approach this as a horrifying experience when in reality, it should be a really pleasurable one. If you’re talking to a woman for the first time, it’s likely that she already knows you’re trying to pick her up. Many guys have tried to pick her up before, many will in the future. Previous attempts do not determine if she will or will not accept your approach.When your objective is to find out what kind of person this girl is and make her smile, you’re likely to have many good and enjoyable interactions. If you try to “win” by picking her up, you’re doomed for failure. The best pick ups are when you aren’t even trying.

What ever you do, don’t compliment her on her looks. Paying attention to detail is good, great even, but as soon as you mention her physical appearance, things start to turn in the wrong direction. You can mention her clothing, accessories, anything out of the ordinary, but do not mention her appearance. Even if she has the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen, refrain from mentioning it. You can tell her later . . . Much later.

In order to build attraction, you must be able to convey signs of a good and desirable mate. These will naturally be present in men whom workout often and are already successful with women. However, what if you don’t have time to work out often and you aren’t already successful with women? These are traits t you can learn from other men. After a while, they will become part of you and you won’t even have to think of them. The best place to start is by hang out with men who are successful with women. By observation, osmosis and asking key questions, you can improve your skill rapidly.

If you don’t have the opportunity to hang out with successful men, the next best thing is to read books by men by them. They will give you the theory, the techniques and open your eyes to things that previously seemed impossible.


Ever wonder why some guys are so much better than others at picking up women? It’s not because they’re better looking, smarter or have bigger bank accounts. What they do have going for them are two things, confidence and persistence.

While some men might have these characteristics naturally, you don’t need to have been born a Don Juan to be successful at picking up women. You do, however, need a few guidelines.

Here are several rules women want men to know. Your new self-assured, gentlemanly attitude will not only give you an edge with women but allow you to sweep them off their feet.

Do your research, survey the area. You’ll notice which women are looking to meet someone.

As obvious as it may seem, a woman who is looking around at men in the room is probably going to be more receptive than a woman who is only paying attention to the friends she came with. Remember, a woman divulges a lot in her body language. If you want to increase your odds, pay attention.Make preliminary eye contact from a distance. See how she responds. If she holds your gaze — or even better, if she smiles — go talk to her. If she avoids your gaze your chances are slim. Making and receiving her eye contact is among the most important pickup rules women want men to know.

The worst thing you can do is hit on more than one woman in the same social circle. In order to successfully pick up a woman, you have to make her feel special. Hitting on or expressing interest in her friends will not make her feel special. It make you seem like a player. So, even though you might be attracted to more than one woman in the group, pick one, and stick with her.

Women will go for a man for one reason and one reason only. How he makes her feel. Make her feel like the most beautiful girl in the room, chances are she’ll want to see you again. This will work in your favor in the long run too. If she’s confident and comfortable with you, you’ll reap the benefits in all aspects of the relationship.

You might think it’s not worth your while to approach that beautiful girl standing in the corner, who’s heard it all. Consider this: Most guys think the same thought. Often, the prettiest girls get their share of cat-calls on the street, but they don’t get approached by many nice, genuine guys. Don’t be intimidated or assume she’s heard it all before because she hasn’t heard it from you. Keep it simple, she’ll probably be grateful for some pleasant, sincere conversation.

Never, use them. Using a cliche line will do one of two things. Make you look like you’re trying too hard or make you seem inexperienced with women, which is even worse. Instead, keep it simple and try to be sincere. You’ll cut through the formalities and stand out from all the men who do use lines—and yes, there are many who still do.

In a bar or a nightclub a woman is used to being approached by men, she’ll have her guard up. In nightclubs, as women are expecting to be picked up, they form a defensive shield against unwanted men. This will obviously work against you. She may reject you simply because you approached her right after a man who annoyed her or you were last in a long line of men to talk to her.

Approach her in other places where you’ll have the element of surprise to your advantage. She won’t be expecting to get picked up and might be pleasantly surprised by your gesture in a supermarket or a coffee shop. Having said that, be mindful of approaching a woman who is shopping in sweatpants and appears in a rush — she probably won’t make the best audience.

There is nothing worse than a clingy guy. Reading her body language is not only important to gauge when she’s interested, but to determine when to walk away. Is she giving you eye contact, or are her eyes wandering around the room? Does she look bored by the conversation? If you are giving her your best, most sincere maneuvers and she is still not responding, cut your losses and move on.

What if she is giving you all the good signs? Don’t overstay your welcome. Leave the conversation on a high note, you’ll only leave her wanting more.

Remember, even the most successful pickup artists get rejected. The secret to their success? Despite constant rejections, they continue to approach women. Call it being thick-skinned or just plain persistent, a certain amount of it is required in this department.

So, don’t let yourself get down because of the odd rejection. Often, a woman’s rejection will have nothing to do with you at all — she may be in a bad mood, or seeing someone already. However, if you follow the rules, your odds of success — as well as your collection of phone numbers — will soar.
