Writes like an exhibitionist who is emotionally masturbating.

An interesting book to read but I wouldn't want to associate with the girls these guys were hanging out with. But there may be some good ideas about how to have a C with people.

Honestly?… as the book progressed it felt increasingly weird!
The objectification of women as mere sex facilitating tools, the one dimensional thinking pattern of the pick up artists (including the author who becomes one of them), the mechanical nature of human responses that the authors' experience reveals... makes it all seem unreal!
But it is not… as is claimed! And hence it just feels weird!
At times you can't help but ridicule in your head at the earnestness with which these artist (including author) talk about bizarre techniques to pick up woman and get them to have sex with them.
While the thought process of the people in the book may seem frustrating and many a times extremely obnoxious, it makes an interesting read simply because it reveals to us the twisted nature of the human mind! Believing the authors claim of this being a true story about true people, it makes you wonder how these people think what they do and what makes them justify their actions… Definitely an insight into the deep, dense and dangerous jungle called the Human Psyche!!
