		<description>I am glad this Karen episode is finally over. To Karen, I think you&#039;d better seek some professional help. 

Karen:
While you are jumping with joy thinking that you have achieved your aim of exposing Sheylara and GF, I think you have achieved quite the opposite-- You have exposed yourself to be a sore loser, and whether what you said have any truth in it, is not relevant anymore, as most readers will just be disgusted by you and lean towards the opposite of what you have said or trying to achieve. Congratulation!

I am a casual reader who stumbled upon this blog a few months back. As a man myself, I wonder what is so attractive about GF too, perhaps you are right, he got a glib tongue. But for a relationship to go this long, he needs more than a glib tongue, and the more I read the blog, the more I admire both of them. For one, GF&#039;s self confidence for having such a babe with such an active social circle as partner, that says a lot about the man. Secondly, I respect Sheylara as well for going beyond good looks, well, perhaps GF is filthy rich, which I doubt so, if so, why the hell Sheylara has to work her XXXX off?

I don&#039;t usually leave comments on blogs and get myself involved in flame war,  but what you are doing is too much, Mr Solomon Yeow. What you are doing is immature, and I highly doubt you can pick any girls who have a little intelligence with canned lines like yours.</description>

		<description>Haha, that loser should be sent to FAIL blog for a nice online feather-and tar parade.

Losers should read the art of seduction by Robert Greene, or simply, get a life.</description>

		<description>Well, now that I understand more about this Game thing, I guess I have to say it might have some good points. I have yet to read the book, though, so I will have more defined opinions after I do.

Anyway, my initial objection towards this guy using this technique was that he was very rude in his approach. And I totally object to rudeness as a general rule. 

He kind of led me to believe that this technique taught men to be rude to women, which you must admit is just wrong!</description>

		<description>The Game is at the core a study of human social dynamics in a setting of men learning to pick women up.

Direct application of the methods explained in the book is a surefire way to get laughed right in the face.

What 95% of the SG men reading the book need to realise is that- the spirit of it is UNDERSTANDING HOW and not WHAT women are attracted- how to appeal to their instincts and not the social constructs that they have &quot;chosen&quot; to pursue.

The reason the women featured fall for previously &quot;loser guys&quot; mentioned within the book is because these men have learnt to appeal to their basic instincts. How to instantly generate chemistry and rapport and develop the whole &quot;in love&quot; feeling is what moves reasonably intelligent women into ignoring the whole &quot;poor, broke, unattractive&quot; bastard bit.

Simple copy and past DOES NOT work.

That said- morality is a question of cultural relativity. We don&#039;t condemn women for cock-teasing men into LV bags, why should we condemn the weaker gender (men) for learning how to appeal to women psychologically?

Women use their feminine wiles and form. Men use emotional charm and psychology. Willing buyer, willing seller.

Caveat: The Game to me practices a very cheap form of the emotional con. By all means, use it to get to know more people. Use it to feel empowered via a harmless flirt. But NEVER ever (emphasis mine) use it to cheat someone emotionally- that&#039;s just F-ed up k? &quot;Love em and leave em&quot; is NOT something practiced by REAL men. REAL men actually love women and not treat them like playthings.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m actually staying up past midnight to put a few lines of defence for PUAs, old and new, here.

I&#039;m still reading the Game, am now at Chapter 7 out of the whole 11 Chapters since starting middle May. I read it while commuting to and from work. And yes, it is not trash. It is a bloody gold mine. 

While fking noobs like Solo-man copy and paste lines verbatim making such lines essentially hot air, it&#039;s interesting how the usefulness and objectiveness of these pick-up strategies are overlooked in view of the morality of the art or the idea of pick-up. 

From the side of the men, closing a telephone number or a chance of a 2nd date isn&#039;t just that. Like the many little rewards we choose to validate ourselves - that salary increase, that career promotion, for the ladies: that chance to afford a LV Handbag etc etc -  the reward of a PUA is reaching that stage where you are aware of your capability to literally take a woman&#039;s breath away, now THAT is awesome. You know you stand out from the rest of them boring blokes who either try to bribe with a drink or two, or desperately latch onto a just-met girl in the club for the rest of the night hoping she&#039;ll give her number or worse, dry hump a lady from behind on the dancefloor. The process of becoming a PUA tackles alot of the social and physical obstacles of a man that have been there the whole time since the first rejection or the first dump or first time the ex revealed the orgasm was faked....you get me. Guys are actually forced to be interesting and learn to actually BE attractive to be worthy of a lady&#039;s attention.


And besides, not everyone...who reads the book or learns Speed Seduction or the Mystery Method or attends Social Dynamics workshops, is always out to become a playa. PUAs are after all, human beings too.</description>
