I figured this was as good a place as any to put this topic. A week ago I read a thread on here talking about the pick-up artist community and it got me interested, still not 100% believer of this, but I thought it was interesting. I picked up The Game by Neil Strauss and The Pick Up Artist by Mystery. I’m about halfway through The Game and although I don’t completely agree with the way they look towards women I tried a couple of the things suggested at clubs this weekend and was surprisingly success. Once I finish the books I’ll review.

I was wondering who else out there has read books like this or similar and other books one becoming an “alpha-male” confidence building books, etc. and what they thought of these books. It seems like theres a million out there so I was hoping to narrow down to a few top ones.

This would be better suited in the lounge section.

Yeah I agree, but to answer your question MCANAVAN6 I have read quite a few e-books from gurus back in the day. Everyone has there own style, and most of the time you’ll hear a lot of things repeated (though sometimes in a different manner). They can be really helpful if you’re someone who is just starting off in the whole dating and seduction thing with women. A lot of good tips to help, but unless you do what they teach you then It’d be all for nothing. Good to see you took action. 😃
