I'm watching a doc called "GameOn" which follows some guys who are learning the art of picking up girls.
I have heard people talk about "The Game", everybody raves about it. I saw some clips of "Mystery" and I was let down. I'm not doubting that the strategies in the book work, but for the most part I think it's bullshit.
This documentary features guys going to seminars with chalk boards and pamphlets, sheets with ice breaking one liners. Then there are the online communities where these guys can go and talk about strategies, make cool nicknames like "Woodhaven" "SlickTrixx" or "DateRape" (not really)
They are a huge legion of nerds and non nerds who's only quest is to dip their dicks in the sweetest of honeys, and I can respect that.
My problem with the whole pick up thing is it's a bit misleading. Yes some guys are better than others at meeting and eventually sleeping with girls. You can study those guys, break down their habits and their methods, turn that information into a bunch of colourful graphs and charts and sell it to the horny and lonely. What bothers me is it's all unnecessary. A deep fried douche bag can walk into a bar, and ask out 100 girls and probably be successful once. Now from what I'm seeing in this documentary is guys that are pumped up, given gold material to use on girls, they practice it, then they go get gussied up with silk shirts and Rick The Temp leather bracelets and harass woman.
They have a thing called a "routine stack" where they have a bunch of stock material to spew. Let's look at some choice "Banter" that I've seen practiced so far:
"This place is such a meat market, I hate the way girls look at me. I feel like such a piece of meat"
"Something smell great in here! Oh it's me!" <-----that is real, i am not making these up Now go to youtube and search "Neil Strauss on Jimmy Kimmel"
he talks about the lingo that guys who play "The Game" use and it goes a little something like this
"Hey, I was in a 2 set and and i was trying to neg the target but I got blocked from the target should I DHV it or DLV assuming she was an SHB 11"
I don't hate Neil Strauss like I hate "Mystery" even though he looks like a tendon and laughs like a goat getting it's balls tickled.
A "neg" is a backhanded compliment that is to bring up your value and knock hers down. The example given is: "Hey, I really like your outfit, the scarf, the jacket and the skirt, they're great, but those shoes, those shoes have to go"
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for a guy neglected in high school coming back strong and fucking the hot chick that never gave him the time of day. But thinking about all of these guys in bars doing step by step strategies to ninja their way into girls pants, that creeps me out and irritates me.
I don't think it's fair game that a guy will walk in with his "wings" and use rehearsed material to manipulate them into bed. I can't see this shit working on a sober girl, but in a club where a girl is wasted, or rebounding from a break up, it might just work if she's feeling self destructive enough.
It seems sketchy as fuck.
Seeing "Mystery" do his shtick makes me want to kick his balls through his ass. They think they are so suave, but where is the talent? Picking up drunk dummies? stringing them along with "negs" and quirky facts? it's like thinking your an excellent hunter, when all you're doing is bringing a shotgun to the zoo; you're bound to hit something.
At the same time, I don't have much sympathy for a girl who gets railed by a disciple of "the game" if they make themselves vulnerable enough to get gamed. There are also times when girls just want the man jam slammed in their clam ham and it doesn't matter who does it.
I hope girls everywhere read "the game" so they can pick out the slippery snakes and humiliate them in front of a live audience. I also hope that the guys that really need the book's help get it, and enjoy the fruits of their labour.
I wonder what it's like the next morning when the guy wakes up and doesn't know what to do with himself? Are there chapters in the book about that? Or is it just how to get the kill, not how to sustain a relationship?
