Neil Strauss (Style) - The Game (complete e-book)
Pick-Up Times, a short-lived magazine from the seventies; an original edition
of Eric Weber's classic How to Pick Up Girls; and misogynist obscurities with titles like Seduction Begins When the Woman Says No. David X was one of half a dozen PUAs Cliff had discovered over the years and promoted on his list, which he'd started in 1999 after Ross criti- cized him on the Speed Seduction mailing list for discussing a pickup tech- nique that wasn't related to NLP. Every PUA had a specialty, and David X's was harem management—juggling relationships with multiple women without lying to them. When we walked into the dim sum restaurant, I was shocked by what I saw waiting for me. David X was quite possibly the ugliest PUA I'd ever met. He made Ross Jeffries look like a Calvin Klein underwear model. He was im- mense, balding, and toadlike, with warts covering his face and the voice of a hundred thousand cigarette packs. My meal with him was like so many I'd had before. Except the rules were always different. His were: I. Who cares what she thinks? II. You are the most important person in this relationship. His philosophy was to never lie to a female. He prided himself on bed- ding women by trapping them with their own words. For example, on meet- 146 ing a girl at a bar, he'd get her to say that she was spontaneous and didn't have any rules; then, if she was reluctant to leave the bar with him, he'd say, "I thought you were spontaneous. I thought you did what you wanted." He spread out in his chair like a melting shard of Swiss cheese and in- formed us: "The only lies I'll ever tell are: 'I won't come in your mouth' and 'I'll just rub it around your ass.'" It wasn't a pretty visual. His philosophy was in direct contrast to what I had learned from Mys- tery, and he let me know it—all through dinner. He was evidence of Cliff's big mouth theory, a natural alpha male. "The best thing is," he boasted, "there are guys like me and guys like you and Mystery out there. While you're still in the bar doing magic tricks, I'm coming back for seconds." It was an interesting dinner, and I learned a lot of little pieces of game I would go on to use scores of times. But by the time brunch was over, I'd re- alized something: I didn't need to meet any more gurus. I had every piece of information I needed to become the greatest pickup artist in the world. I had hundreds of openers, routines, cocky funny comments, ways to demonstrate value, and powerful sexual techniques. And I'd been hypno- tized to Valhalla and back. It wasn't necessary to learn anything else, unless it was for my own fun and interest. I just needed to be in the field constantly—approaching, calibrating, fine-tuning, and working through sticking points. I was ready for Miami, and all the workshops to follow. As Cliff drove me home, I made a promise to myself: If I ever met a guru again, it would be not as a student but as an equal. STEP 5 ISOLATE THE TARGET IT IS U N F A I R TO TEAR S O M E B O D Y APART W H E N HER H E A L T H AND E X U B E R A N C E T H R E A T E N YOU. — J E N N Y HOLZER, Benches As Mystery and I traveled the world doing workshops, meeting all the players in the game, the seduction community became more than just a bunch of anonymous screen names. It became a flesh-and-blood family. Maddash was no longer seven letters of type but a funny, Jeremy Piven-like entrepreneur from Chicago; Stripped was an uptight book editor from Amsterdam with male-model looks; Nightlight9 was a lovable nerd who worked for Microsoft. Over time, the posers and keyboard jockeys were outed, and the super- stars were given their due. And Mystery and I were the superstars because we delivered: Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Montreal, San Fran- cisco, and Chicago. Every workshop made us better, stronger, more driven. All the other gurus I had met clung to the safety of the seminar room. They had never been forced to prove their teachings in the field city after city, night after night, woman after woman. Every time we left a city, a lair sprung up if one didn't exist already, bringing together students eager to practice their new skills. Through word of mouth, the lairs soon doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in size. And all these guys worshipped Mystery and Style: We were living the life they wanted, or so they thought. Each workshop generated more online reviews praising my newly ac- quired game. Each field report I posted triggered a flood of e-mails from students wanting to be my wing. The list of sargers in my phone book was actually starting to surpass the number of girls I'd met. Most of the time when my phone rang, it was a guy asking for Style. And, dispensing with introductions, he'd ask, "When you call a girl, should you block your number or not?" or "I was in a three-set, and the obstacle ended up liking me and giving me her phone number. Do I still have a chance with the target?" The game was consuming my old life. But it was worth it, because it was Download 2.8 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
