Still, The Game is a great read that may help some AFCs come out of their shells. After a while, he ran out of one-liners and had to have a real conversation. And they never prepared him for actually having a relationship. His techniques were actually off-putting to the woman he ended up falling in love with. Start with a disarming, innocent remark, like "Do you think magic spells work?" or "Oh my god, did you see those two girls fighting outside?" And finally, the most important characteristic of the pickup artist-smile.Īfter two years, Strauss ends up becoming almost as successful as Mystery, but he comes to an important realization. Other tricks: Intrigue a beautiful woman by pretending to be unaffected by her charm also, never hit on a woman right away. He employs the "three-second rule"-always approach a woman within three seconds of first seeing her in order to avoid getting shy. His technique sounds like a car salesman's tip sheet: his main rule is FMAC-find, meet, attract, close. But by using high-powered marketing techniques he's turned seduction into an effortless craft-even inventing his own vocabulary. He is not much to look at: a cross between a vampire and a computer geek. Mystery is an aspiring Toronto magician who charges $2,250 for a weekend pickup workshop. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America's most suave gents-including the best of them all, the God of the pickup "community," a man named Mystery. He felt like "half a man." That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists.
Strauss was a self-described chick repellant-complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. Sherlockian game, also known as the Holmesian game, the Great Game or simply the Game, is the pastime of attempting to resolve anomalies and clarify implied details in the Sherlock Holmes stories while pretending that Holmes is an historical character.
