just StyleBravo'd u

does 'the game' just involve talking by moving your hands in and out and turning your head from side to side in rhythm with the hand motions or something?

my mind is constantly blown that this is the dude whose writing opened me up to Stockhausen, Xenakis and Varase

neil strauss is one hilariously pathetic figure

Six-time New York Times Best-Selling Author Neil Strauss (a.k.a. "St. Slim Jim,"
a.k.a. "Style," voted the number-one pickup artist in the world!)
has JUST made the most shocking announcement of his life:
Yes it's true.

Despite pressure from his publishers, his closest friends, and even a team of high-priced lawyers not to, Neil Strauss has decided to start giving away the game through this VIP list ONLY.

You will receive lost chapters from The Game and Emergency that are not for public consumption, as well as invitations to join special free phone and in-person events.

Please Note: this is a no-marketing zone - so if you want to want to buy cheap DVDs of guys in feather boas, this is not the list for you.

Sign up now - when this list gets too big for Neil to manage all the responses to the cool invitations he sends out, it will be permanently locked and held at a manageable level.

"Respect the cock! And tame the cunt! Tame it! Take it on headfirst with the skills that I will teach you at work and say no! You will not control me! No! You will not take my soul! No! You will not win this game! Because it's a game, guys. You want to think it's not, huh? You want to think it's not? Go back to the Spin Alternative Record Guide and you write that overview of Stereolab. Respect the cock. You are embedding this thought. I am the one who's in charge. I am the one who says yes! No! Now! Here! Because it's universal, man. It is evolutional. It is anthropological. It is biological. It is animal. We... are... men!"

"nul stm"

Mystery resented being called a pickup artist rather than a
"Venusian artist," his latest neologism.

Yeah, I can understand that frustration.

He wrote the entry on electroacoustic composers in the Spin Alternative Record Guide. In college, I would go to the school library and listen to whatever CDs they had from it while I studied.

“She's a nurse, she was a virgin before me, and I am very much falling in love with her. She's one of the most gorgeous persons that I have ever met. She brings me food when I'm at work, cooks for me, and even cleans my face if somethings on it. I could keep going, but I bet it would bore you. But she's just a great catch. And I owe it all to you. If I wouldn't have peeked her interest the way you showed me to, I wouldn't have ever met her, EVER. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.” – Tillo from Bourassa, Spokane, WA

A testimonial in honor of The Sneak

http://www.stylelife.com/phase2xl/about/coaches/?id=19

While working his day job as a busboy to pay his rent and struggling at night in an attempt to work as a stand-up comedian, The Sneak refused to be too busy to learn the social arts. Forgoing much sleep, he hit the bars and clubs of NYC four nights a week for three hours a night, implementing all of his studies and putting real life social experiences under his belt.

His old life had been traded in for a string of constant adventures. His questions turned from “What do I do after the opener?” to “How do I manage multiple long term relationships?” Field reports stopped documenting frustrated nights of failure and began detailing tales of one night stands and pulling exotic dancers from gentleman’s clubs. He even managed to break out of the friend zone with one of those aforementioned high school crushes (who by the way, just so happened to be the prom queen).

As a music critic, bestselling author, and Rolling Stone writer, he seemed to live the life of a rock star. He partied with music legends, he appeared (clothed) in porn movies, and he interviewed the world’s biggest movie stars. In spite of this seemingly glamorous lifestyle, Strauss lacked confidence with women. He grudgingly stretched occasional one-night stands into relationships that dragged for years because he wasn’t sure he’d ever get another hook-up.

That all changed when he entered the seduction community. When presented with an opportunity to write about a burgeoning online community of pickup artists, Strauss-the-journalist took a backseat to Strauss-the-obsessed-student-of-seduction. Traveling the world to learn from the greatest teachers and social artists, Strauss buried himself in erotic education. Singularly focused on learning to be more socially successful, Strauss transformed himself from what the community called an “average frustrated chump” into the best pickup artist in the world.

A consummate charmer and renowned lady's man, Bolshevik has dated models, exotic dancers and reality tv stars.

During a workshop, surrounded by like-minded students and encouraged by skilled instructors, men experience an adrenaline rush of learning. They’re pumped up all day and can’t wait to hit the bars and coffee shops at night. But what happens after they go home? After they return to their cubicles, and their compact cars, and their cookie-cutter apartments, and manipulative bosses, and bills to pay, and classes to take, and all the other mundane chores of real life? All that amazing energy, excitement, and support fades away and they find themselves struggling to say hello to that lovely lady in the fiction section at Borders.

To combat this post-workshop letdown, Strauss conceived the Stylelife Academy. A revolutionary method of teaching social improvement, this system provides an online coach. Someone to help, to encourage, and to give a good kick in the ass when needed! Every single day, every step of the way.

Always an innovator, Neil Strauss changed the game once again.

haha was just about to

“Evolve” is not a description, it is a verb and a command that has driven this individual since childhood. Martial arts helped Evolve transform himself from an asthmatic goth kid into an understated athletic machine.

nerds pissed that other nerd gets laid, film at 11

So far your checklist as to wishing these people into the cornfield is 100%.

A perpetual academic and seeker of wisdom of all natures, Gypsy endeavored to learn as much as possible about himself and the mind of the fairer sex. Inspired by Neil Strauss’s book The Game, Gypsy was inspired to launch his own transformation from hopeless AFC to suave social artist. In 2007, Gypsy was chosen from thousands of contestants to attend Neil Strauss’s “Lucky 20 Seminar.”

wait whiney, who's pissed here and who's getting laid

Before meeting Bravo I was in a 2 year drought. Two days after meeting him had a model texting me inviting me to a pool party at her house. The next day I hooked up with a stripper that I met while she was working. A couple days after that had a girl out of her pants within 15 minutes of meeting her. I’ve gotten more phone numbers in the six months since meeting Bravo than I did my entire life before, and had much more fulfilling relationships (and friendships) with women than ever before as well. Those are results; all thanks to Bravo’s coaching.

whiney's pissed that evolve is getting laid

don't hate the understated athletic machine, hate the game

^^^ understated athletic machine

When I think of the Alpha-Male, I see your image.

-Lezep

what's with the names, why do they have these names

because they're american gladiators...american sexual gladiators

also you need a tag for your walkie talkie

The next day I hooked up with a stripper that I met while she was working.

congrats, dude!

honestly this just seems less about getting confidence and more about bros getting together to talk about new ways to put one over on the enemy

god yes. the names. the only thing sadder than these dudes are the women who buy their "game". i'm thinking.

3. Why is the STYLELIFE ACADEMY not FREE like the STYLELIFE CHALLENGE?

The Stylelife Challenge was a one-time contribution from Style to give back to the community which has given him so much.

The Styelife Academy is an ongoing real university, complete with offices, support staff and full-time coaches, that delivers exclusive material through a high-bandwidth website. The universities goal is to provide more valuable benefits at less cost than any other Social Transformation System but it has to be financially self-sustaining.

you'd think that a website run by an ex journalist would employ people that know the difference b/w possessive and plural but i guess not

* Over 100 E-books focused on specific topics in areas of attraction, rapport and seduction. These books help you to understand the theory and identify potential sticking points.

What might the sticking points be, do you think?

you wrote em!

I’ve gotten more phone numbers in the six months since meeting Bravo than I did my entire life before, and had much more fulfilling relationships (and friendships) with women than ever before as well.

Lots of fulfilling friendships, I'm sure.

xp unmasked!

She brings me food when I'm at work, cooks for me, and even cleans my face if somethings on it.

So...he's dating his Jewish mother.

Tillo's Complaint

Strauss pretty much lost it when he wrote Marilyn Manson's autobiography, right?

The Dirt is fantastic, wash your mouth out

Just don't ask what with.

Love the fact that most of the testimonials are 'thank you PUA masters, you have helped me have sex with prostitutes and reality TV stars (same thing, I know)'.

Still can't believe this was the same writer nerd I met at Terrastock 2 who was into the Dream Syndicate.

And yeah, he totally lost it after the Marilyn Manson book.

mod request I Love Seduction

Dirt is great, Manson book was starry-eyed worship of the kind that turned him into a PUA groupie

i was thinking of getting the MM book, because of the awesomeness of dirt. should i leave well alone?

oh are these dudes still around

It all came full circle when Neil Strauss realized he himself had started to stick his penis into a burrito to get the smell of groupies off of it before he went home to his fulfilling long-term girlfriend

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Considering the material that is available why is this thread so much shitter than 'King Boy Reads The Game'?

i was thinking of getting the MM book, because of the awesomeness of dirt. should i leave well alone?

he does just as great a job of channelling the distinct character of the subject as he does in The Dirt

however, the subject is much more of a self-involved douche, with much less of a sense of fun, than the subjects of The Dirt

(and the greatest thing about The Dirt is the switching from voice to voice, perspective to perspective - the contrasts between personalities are fascinating in and of themselves, not to mention how their differences made them clash and collaborate over two decades. Manson's is one voice, repeatedly telling you how smart he is. "You know, Trent Reznor wasn't really into serial killers at first, he got that from me. My guitarist Spigotface23 thought it would be really cool if we put one song on the album that wasn't me croaking in the verses and shouting in the choruses, so I fired him. A lot of people had a problem with my image because they thought I was just being deliberately provocative, but they didn't understand - I meant to do that."
It's an alright read if you go along with it, but buy cheap or borrow imo.)

Wow why do all these PUA artist presenter guys have like superhero and pro-wrestler names. That surely can't help them with most ladies, can it?

"So what's your name?"
"My name is Gypsy, baby. I'm like -- migratory..."
"uhhh, oh. That's nice..."

I ended up voting Hypnotica if only because it sounds like a vanity label vodka put out by a company formed by cassidy and a member of the philadelphia eagles

Or is it more of an alter-ego for preservation thing? Like so people at the office don't realize Bill J. Normal has a series of DVDs out there about how he convinces women to sleep with him.

xpost

i know, leaving alone for the moment their "peacocking" attire and the dumbass techniques themselves, i can't imagine being introduced to someone w/those kinds of names and staying around for a conversation on the basis of anything besides perverse curiosity. like, do they actually think those names sound in some way cool or alluring, or is it just a conversation piece, rope 'em in at any cost kind of thing?

if by member, you mean cheerleader for them, then yeah

if by member, you mean cheerleader for them, then yeah

never mind, i didn't read your post carefully enough

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Totally would believe that if all these guys hit a club that Joe D might be the only one going home alone

I know, right? If you can't even think of a more imaginative pick up artist name than Joe D, you might as well give up right now.

in the video there are people walking around during his speech. "dude talked for 15 minutes and those were the most flattering two seconds we shot."

f you are getting stuck in one of the following areas of your game, then Style's Sticking Point Buster Kit is your ANTIDOTE (in our research thus far we've uncovered that 90% of guys learning to be PUAs share three major sticking points):

1. Approach Anxiety: Do you know the feeling when you see a pretty girl across the room, she even makes eye contact with you (her way of signaling you to approach) but you just can't seem to move your feet?

That's Approach Anxiety! Some guys even describe it as a dialogue in their own mind, a negative feedback loop that tells you "Don't approach this girl your opener won't work!" or "If you approach that group of women they won't think you're interesting!" Approach Anxiety can kill your game before it even starts.

2. Incomplete Routine Stack: Are you aware of the lull in the conversation with women after your the opener runs it's course? That awkward moment where you don't know what to say next to bridge the gap from chit chat to making a connection that stokes the furnace of attraction?

This is the second biggest stinking point and it's a damn shame that so many guys are screwing up here because it should be the smoothest point of your game!

3. Kino Escalation to the Kiss Close: You know that awkward feeling when you've finally got the girl alone with you in isolation or on a date, or maybe she's even sitting on your bed but you just can't bring yourself to lean in and kiss her? It's like an invisible barrier walls her lips and body off from you.

And this one is the most heart wrenching because you played the game perfect up to this point. But now by not manning-up and kissing her, you start to slide down a slippery slope into the dreaded FRIEND ZONE pit, nearly impossible to escape.

If you recognize any of these symptoms in your game then you suffer from one or all of the "BIG 3 STICKING POINTS." If you want your game to improve then you need to OBLITERATE those STICKING POINTS.

In fact our research has identified that of the total 28 common Sticking Points 11 more are directly related to the BIG 3: openers being dismissed, ejecting from set too early, not getting dates with women, getting the girl to chase you, running solid text game, running solid phone game, building comfort properly, not knowing how to calibrate or read IOIs, transitioning routines, winning over the obstacles, mind blanking on the approach, and not knowing enough PUA material.

The bottom line is that if you OVERCOME the BIG 3 you also ATTACK 11 other sticking points. That means you challenge 50% of all the Sticking Points documented that are the most common by just focus on these THREE main problem areas.

The BIG 3 SPs and the SPs related to them can only hold you back if you refuse to recognize them and overcome...
