Readers of the quality papers might have been struck by the numerous column inches recently given over to a previously unknown US author going by the name of Neil Strauss. So enamored, in fact, were a number of said publications that they plastered pictures of Strauss all over the front pages of their weekend magazines. One in particular had him – bald, hairy chested and scrawny – reclining on an inflatable lilo in a private LA pool with a gorgeous blonde draped across him. Nothing unusual about that, you may think: it's hardly unknown for photographers to add the odd buxom babe to a shot. But wait, here's the unusual thing, that stunner is Strauss' girlfriend . And she's not the first hot chick he's had draped across him either. Not by far. Y'see Neil Strauss used to go by the moniker of Style, the best pick-up artist (PUA, to those in the know) in Hollywood. He chronicles his meteoric rise from music hack and sometime author to sex kitten to the stars in The Game. By using the kind of magician's psychology spouted by Derren Brown, alongside other techniques such as neuro-linguistic programming, Style, his mentor Mystery and other wannabe PUAs too numerous to mention, claim that no woman is off-limits. No matter how hot she is, or how not you are. The Game leads the reader into a seedy world were men go ‘sarging', women are ‘negged' and normal human interaction goes out of the window. Strauss recently got out of the Game. Read this clever, compelling and often downright unbelievable account of the PUA life and, for all the undeniable envy, you'll see why he had to. |
