Interesting read- a real page turner. I have to respect how good they got at what they did, but at the same time, I couldn't help but think how they'd just become losers in another sense be defining their sense of self-worth on one aspect of life.

The author realized this too, of course, and it's good that he had the good sense to get out of it as a result. Sadly, many get into that kind of thing and never leave.

The book that teaches losers how to hypnotize women into having sex with them? It's good then? Laughing

I read it, great book, and it has a lot of real world applications.

However, DOES NOT apply to Korea or non-native speaking English countries. China as well. You can't do most of those strategies with girls that don't understand English to the level of sarcasm (which is a high level) - and most have far less than that.

A good read, but the language/culture differences here make it tough to apply the best stuff.

It's so popular in the states that it's completely obsolete. Most girls know about it and will shut you down.

There are a couple of tricks and approaches that have worked well for me here, especially with the Russian/Brazilian model set.

Best opener: "who lies more, men or women?"

most of the other stuff is so cheeseball it's not worth using, even if it works.

Chris Rock has a great bit on that...

Men lie the most, women tell the biggest lies.

Men will be like, "Yeah, I was at Joe's watching the game last night."

Women will be like, "Yeah, it's your baby."

No, not at all.

It's about picking up girls.

Any gals reading the topic who feel the need to tune up their bullsh detectors... take note of this.
