April 28- The Game

No, it isn’t hockey. It isn’t football, soccer or rugby. It’s a book.

I love the culture surrounding the book. It gets this reputation of being a book on how to pick up women and become a master pick up artist (or PUA as the call it in the book). From the people I’ve spoken to who have read it (namely one person) it can make you into a sex god as well. I’d like to dismiss all this bullshit and say they are wrong.

While there are lessons and mentions of routines that can be used to pick up women, open up sets of women and continue a seduction they are brief and do not follow a step-by-step pattern. There are no direct directions on the topic but it does give you guidance if you want to check it out and become one.

What is the book then? It is purely one guys experience in “the community” over a span of 2 years and it seems like it is similar to what I’m doing here. While I’m not here learning about picking up women I have started to notice some similarities. Most notably and easy, commonalities bring people together. They don’t always see eye to eye, they don’t need to like each other and they don’t need to be friends but if you bring beer into it, they make that connection. There is always something common between everyone, even if it is just both being people and being alive or being in the same place at the same time.

Most people that have read it I’m sure only read the first 90% or so because at the end, like all good books, there is a lesson to learn. While the author spends his life “sarging” women for 2 years and having sex with super models he learns one main thing. That one thing is..

Read the book, all of it. Trust me, it is worth it. You will learn something about yourself and the world. If you just want to read the end, its cool but you won’t learn anything. Like any novel his life is a story and without the beginning and middle, you have nothing.
