Pick up artists and seduction. Those who make picking up girls

I keeping seeing The Game by Neil as one of the books to use among PUA threads.

I never heard about him until several years ago when I dated a girl that was a fan of him. Even let me borrow a copy of his book which I read only a few chapters of.

Motherfucker is a creepy douchebag. I chalk his methods up to knocking down someone's self esteem to the point they will sleep with you.

Do you have any non douche pro pua?

I read a paper on it last year called

Inequity in the pursuit of intimacy: An analysis of British pick-up artist interactions

It's pretty interesting, it's about negging.

You don't get girls, you go on Google and search "how to get girls", it leads you to a PUA website, you learn these tricks, the tricks semi-work so you want to learn more, you learn and learn and you figure out that the tricks are just the tip of the iceberg and being a successful "pick up artist" is about more than "negs", it's about changing who you are a person and becoming a confident, attractive man. You make a whole lifestyle change and become a happier person as a whole and have a bunch of women in your life.

It's a load of shit.

Read Models by Mark Manson. That's where the real shit is at.

Girls like confidence. I don't mean like "you. Me. Dinner. 8pm." I mean you're not crying because you're an 18 tfw kissless virgin. Don't be confident to them, be confident in life. Have a stable job that's not to pick up women, but to keep a roof over your head, and enough to fund whatever your passion is. Be happy in your life without NEEDING a girl in it, and then they'll be there.

Seconding Models, it's a great read.

So is Neil Strauss and mystery just sociopaths that teach the dark side of seduction or something?

How so? I'm not egging you or anything I haven't read the book yet.
