I just wanted to say that I read "The Game" over a year ago and really
liked it. I have recommended this book to many of my friends. I
really enjoying going out with my friends and watch the other guys
approach and try to attract women, especially having the info from this
book. It gets pretty down right hilarious. I am not a big gamer, but
this book has opened my eyes to what could be accomplished. Since you
are looking to better your game, I was just searching around the
seduction world the other day and came across this website that has all
this relationship material, including seduction (it is fairly fresh in
my mind). I thought it was pretty funny how it was laid out. It is
called Dud 2 Stud University at www.dud2stud.com. Anyways, best of
luck as you continue your endeavors.

Scruff's review
Welcome to the first instalment of 'Scruff's Review' - a book
review board for seduction and seduction related sources.
Many people have asked me what I feel have been the most useful books
and sources in developing my confidence, ability and style in meeting
and seducing women.
I admit, I may not be the perfect person to write such a column, having
only been a part of the community for a few months, but since people
have asked, I will oblige! I would also most welcome reviews from
everyone else in the community. There is no way I could possibly read
everything out there. Besides, if you have read something that has
totally opened your eyes and brought that flash of enlightenment then I
want to know too!

'The Game', Neil Strauss - Canongate Books Ltd
Introduction
OK, so I wasn't sure if I should even do a review of this book, since
almost everyone has read it and everyone who has, has an opinion on it.
But since it was the book that brought me (yes, I'm one of the
'new, corporate sell out' generation) and so many others into the
community, its worth making this THE BASELINE, a place from which we
can measure all the other seduction material out there.
'The Game' - what is it?
Essentially, it's a story, through which you, the reader, is
introduced into the seduction community at a time when it was colonised
by Guru's and their followers. Where factions existed and pulled at
potential clients while slandering and insulting each other.
Essentially, pretty much as it is now. It's a fictional story, based
on the real life journey of an author and journalist into the very real
world of a community of seduction students.

Will be interesting to read your reviews, hope you right some on more
obscure books.

goes out looking for women to make him
feel good about himself.
The guy who succeeds at the game is the one
who goes out and makes other people feel good
about themselves. - Style

Good one Scruff!

But I disagree with you here. I don't think Neil really tries to
manipulate the reader. In my opinion he's just talking about the
competition between the gurus. Mystery Method is great and powerful. SS
is evil, but interesting. I think this is what he wants to say. But I
may be wrong.
'The Game' is definitely not the 'Pick Up Bible', but a damn good
introduction to the community. I think 'Double Your Dating' is more
like a bible.
Whatsoever, it's a good and interesting post. I'm looking forward to
read more of your reviews. Keep it up!

He does business with Mystery, so he's not exactly neutral.

It also had the strongest affiliate program and marketing machine, which
also are factors. DYD's mailing list was estimated to be about 1.5 million
men.

Perhaps if you were a bit more pleasant and had something to offer, he might
do business with you.

Neil's conflict of interest with Mystery is self-evident. Most journalists
don't take sides in their stories, and definitely not when writing about
rival businesses.
--
Money is not "game."
Looks are not "game."
Social status or value is not "game."
Those are the things that game makes unnecessary.
A seduction guru who teaches you that looks, money or status is game is not
teaching you "game," but how to be an AFC. He uses his students' money to
get women and laughs that "AFCs pay my rent."

Parker's conflict of interest with more or less 99%% of humanity is
self-evident to more or less 99%% of humanity.

Most businessmen don't conduct themselves in public as Gordon "Ray
Gordon" Roy Parker does and then expect their behavior to not have
extremely damaging results to their businesses.

One must first have a business that is a going concern before they
could ever point to another business as being a rival business.
