I was on the phone last night to a girl and whilst she was talking she asked me

HB: Have you read the book called the game by any chance

ME: Yeah i read the first 3 chapters got bored with it

HB: So you have read it

ME: Yes

HB: Oh no !

After I said this she insisted that we meet up with her friends at a club. I told her no I am not interested in meeting her friends and then i said thanks and good bye.

Before i said this the bitch was willing to meet me 1 to 1.

Whats with this shit ? WTF is her problem ?

Kev

WHAT? Are you fucking kidding me, kev? You just made a huge mistake!! She probably told them about you and they thought you sounded cool, so she wanted to introduce you to see what they thought. If you win her friends over, she is yours and so are they. Oh man that was stupid! You need to stop assuming that everything women do is negative cos you had an opportunity to get with at least one of her hot friends aswell... fuck man, I'm frustrated for you.

Dalziel,

Dam i totally fucked up !!

Thanks dude another lesson to be learned i just assumed she was being a bitch.

Kev

>I told her no I am not interested in meeting her friends and then i said thanks and good bye.

One word, AFC. What were you thinking? You've got to show her you're not interested in her just for the sex.

I think you handled the question about the Game OK, although others might have denied it. Some pawn it off as being a good romantic comedy novel.

Its a good book, if a girl ask me, I just answer:

The one about that writer going into that playboy house and getting married in the end? Sure, I read it...

i would have soooo met her friends.

whenever someone ask me if i read the book i answer honestly.. "yes its good.. i read a lot of self improvement books and its changed my life"... then i tell them a story on how i used to be and they are like wow..

haha but damn..
lesson learned atleast..

im sad though.. that you didnt hang out with them..

Well now he knows not to do that again.

A fail always leads with a win later on.

Long story short, The Game (the book) is less a step-by-step guide for becoming a PUA than it is a memoir about one man's journey and the amazing things that happened on the way. You've got models and strippers at every turn, run-ins with eastern bloc militias, celebrities doing craziness left and right, Project Hollywood political intrigue, master PUAs devolving into total basket cases... It's a Hell of a good read. And at the core, it's about one guy coming out of his shell, learning about attraction, and just maybe finding love at the end of a long and winding path. I just may have shed a tear at the end (of course, it was a very manly tear).

If she's heard of the book but not read it, give her a breakdown of the more interesting plot points (kinda like I have). If she has read it, be willing to discuss it as a social psychology study. No need to go too in-depth, and hopefully your game has evolved to the point where you're not just aping Style's greatest hits. It's The Game, not The Necronomicon - reading it doesn't make you evil. You've got nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, it's not the only book you've ever read, is it? Move on from there. She's trying to knock you off guard, to see if your carefully crafted facade crumbles under a precision attack. As you already know, KevinS, you didn't handle it well. Being honest and up-front about it without squirming could be seen as a DHV, and the very act of discussing it could lead to a mutual understanding - cut through some of the standard bullshit and get everyone's cards on the table. Handled correctly, you could be seen as a confident, intelligent, studious man with a quirk. That's not necessarily a bad angle to play. It would be a real thrill for me to get called out on the book, handle it smoothly, and have a chance to continue the pursuit knowing that my quarry isn't exactly helpless.

For the record, I had been sarging for some time with increasing success before I stumbled upon a copy of The Game. The book helped me a lot. It helped me get over whatever guilt I had about what I was doing by showing me the good and bad sides of it all, and by helping me see that PUA and my long-term goals in life (i.e. a real relationship) are not mutually exclusive. I was impressed by Style by how he handled himself in the field, but perhaps even more so by how he departed it.

Come on guys, she was willing to meet 1 on 1 but as soon as he mentions he read The Game she wants her friends to come. You know HBs' knowledge of The Game comes from The View and what their retarded friends tell them.

I don't know how I would have responded. Probably in the affirmative because I'm not interested in being with a girl who gets upset because someone has read a book.

you should have went to the club man... and if you crashed and burned.. went to the next set.. cuz 99% of the other girls dont know what was up

Actually, kev is in the UK and we don't have the view over here. Neil was on a couple of shows here though, but I can tell you with certainty that she had no knowledge of the book prior to talking to her friends about him - otherwise, she would have brought it up sooner. She told her friends about him and how he approached her, and one of them just happened to have heard about the book and brought it up, so she decided to ask him about it to test his reaction. What I'm saying is, she had planned to get him to meet her friends anyway... her newfound knowledge of the book had nothing to do with her change in plans.

I agree with Dalziel she didn't care if you had read the book or not. I was recently called out on it as well.

Long story short, this girl I've talked to on msn and I were talking. I was alittle unsure of myself on using the cube in field so I thought I'd do a practice run on her. As soon as I told her to imagine a cube, she blurted out "You got this from a book on how to pick up women. My friend told me all about it." (she does not know the name of the book, only that there is a book) I quickly denied it, and tried to press her for information on it. She told me all she knew. And basically you could get more information from going to amazon.com and reading the review. She thinks its just a book that tells guys to make girls feel bad about themselves so they will like the guy. After she told me what she knew, I came to, and told her that yes I had read the book, but I denied it, because I wanted to see how much you knew about it as well.

Now I face two sides of the coin. 1st. she's always talking to me, and always trying to talk to me. I leave my msn on 24/7 if I'm home or not. And there are so many times I go onto my computer and I've got a few messages from her looking for me. These never happened from her before hand. Maybe a coincidence, may not.

2nd. She second guesses almost everything I say directed to her. I'll go and say something totally non-pua, more afc and she'll respond "Is that from the book?"

At the end of the month I'm going to visit some family that live near her. I've already told her I'm going out there and told her that she's taking me on a date and what we're doing for this date. And she's kinda agreed, pending on if she gets the new job or not.

If she continues to call me out on it, I already have planned what I'm gonna say to her before we go out. "I want you to give me the benifit of the doubt that I won't use any things from the book on you, if you give me the benifit of the doubt that I'm being real with you." And I'll see where that takes me.
