Brainwright BTB By The Book Brainteaser Game, Multicolour

Product Information

I played this game with an ECFE parent group and we discovered that several of the cards were incorrect. I had pulled 21 titles and of them, 5 of the lines were not the same on the card and book. I love this idea and it’s great on so many levels! I was slightly disappointed with the inaccuracy. Reply Alexandra Jacobs wrote in The New York Times that Strauss "switched awkwardly between misogynistic comments and feeble attempts at self-awareness." [2] She also notes that "he does come to perceive one curious thing about the PUA's: They seem far more interested in spending time with fellow PUA's, amassing, refining and discussing the game, than actually getting to know women. Call them SLB's (scared little boys)." [2] Film adaptation [ edit ]

Brito, Sam de (January 16, 2005). "Men Paying to Learn to Be Appealing". The Sunday Telegraph. News Limited. It was a gift...from a successful Jewish Male friend who lived in S.F. who knew Neil Strauss. (Funny gift, I know)... But I enjoyed it more than I thought...I enjoyed it tons and tons more than I thought! while only picture books are included, the selection is a variety of classic and popular modern book titlesNeil Strauss will release his new book called "The Truth" "An Uncomfortable Book about Relationships" ....sometime soon. (hope to win it through the give-a-ways -hint-hint) Great selection of games and offers. Always delivered on time. Great to support an independent business. DO read this book as an anthropological study of LA and how far women and men have come from each other in some sub-cultures Who knew that a book ostensibly on dating would be such a wonderful meditation on existential despair and what it means to be a man.

I think The Game straddles the line between comedy and tragedy. If, as I truly would like to believe, Strauss is joking, then the book is a comic masterpiece. If the book is an attempt at non-fiction, then the number of devotees is nothing short of tragic.

But the most offensive blind spot is how little he seems to comment on the misogynistic nature of the whole affair. When you basically treat women as disposible targets, it's weird not to comment on how objectifying that is. Considering how much he talks about the community turning men into robots, the absence of much discussion of how it teaches them to view women feels like a lost opportunity. That said, listen to how he describes these techniques, and you can see that while most women will say "Oh, that would never work on me," in fact it does. I think what a lot of PUAs miss is that perfecting calculated psychological manipulation as an art and a science isn't gender specific - you could easily develop similar techniques to work on men, or for application outside the domain of romance. Neg the target. “It’s so cute. Your nose wiggles when you laugh.” Get her friends to notice and laugh about it At the same time this book makes a rather revolutionary suggestion that I think more women NEED to open their minds to. But that's not the way things go with this one ... people get too distracted by the bombast. They either eagerly attach themselves to the promise of some secret seduction technique, or they become blinded by their offense.

I was also in a strange country where I didn't speak the language. I had no idea where I was going to live, whether I could get a job. I knew NO ONE. And here was this guy who was knowledgeable about something interesting to me and talked to me like I was SMART. Of course I was smitten. One of the most important things to do with an attractive woman is to demonstrate value. What makes you any different from the last twenty guys who approached her?Ask the group, “So, how does everyone know each other?” Find if the target is with one of the guys and for how long. If it’s a serious relationship, leave politely
