Have you/would you ever give someone a book on seduction as a present?

I always felt that seduction is something people have to want to learn. At least that seems to be the case around me. It’s like most guys are to prideful to admit that they suck with women, but that was a good call on your part

You are such a genuine person you have my respect

I gave my friend the book "How to Be a 3% Man" by Corey Wayne.

I had a lot more books I wanted to give him. Unfortunately, that didn't happen because he stopped reading after the first chapter. He started criticizing the author and argued that Corey Wayne probably didn't know what he was talking about and just made everything up like all self help people do... the basis of his argument was that there were grammatical errors in the first chapter and that he "just couldn't bring myself to take the guy seriously if he didn't know how to proofread his own book." I realized my friend was intent on defending his own perspectives/beliefs and anything that challenged his beliefs was a threat.

Two years later he's still having trouble getting good dates and believes things will just happen naturally when it's meant to... Good luck dude...

I think you did well, it was thoughtful of you. However, from a seduction point of view, countless other books would have made a better gift, models for once.

I did this n I made a lifelong friend - but the fine line is sometimes they need to be ready for it ... IF they don't want or cant handle the advice... then you're going to have a bad time. Platos cave, etc.

Mad props. You've done well my friend.

It really depends man. I tried to get some of my friends onto The Game they proceeded to turn on me and called me "scheming" and a fraud even to go as far to like legitimately cock block me like they believed they're saving them or something.

I gave one of my best friends the digital copies of Models, Mr. Nice Guy and how to win friends and he didn't read them, he always assumed I got laid because of my looks and pure luck, some people just don't want the knowledge.

Um, in addition to giving him this book, why didn't you just tell him he was being cheated on?

guimafelipe · 2018-06-10T21:58:58+00:00

I have a friend in the same situation, but she is a girl. :/

I wouldn't do that, but I have nudged innumerable people towards ways to better themselves, including game-like advice.

I find if you avoid the buzzwords and find ways to phrase things like a normal person instead of the 'in-group' shorthand, you can find a better way to effectively communicate things to people whose ideological position perceives itself as opposed to yours. The softer hand tends to prevail.

Nice move man. Did he mention something about what happened to him after reading the book?

I have given out many copies of The Way of the Superior Man over the years. Even once as a wedding gift.

mejakejohnson · 2018-06-11T01:51:17+00:00

You've earned the respect of this entire sub. The world needs more people like yourself.

2018-06-10T22:42:53+00:00

nice.

A year later my girlfriend tells me that he dumped her friend for another girl. I responded by saying, "Oh wow! That's great!" at first she was like, "Seriously? Did you just say that?" but after she just couldn't argue, her friend was a bitch.

I mean, I haven't ever had a situation where it would fit, but this is an entertaining enough story.

Overall points about how someone getting cheated on needs to elevate himself/herself, agreed!

Though arguably, The Game might not necessarily have been the best path for this guy to be channeling his anger through. At the point that book was written, Mystery was already on the merry-go-round of "open relationships," & "imploding relationships," even though he reportedly wanted to settle down with one "pair bond." Style would head down that road himself before he checked himself into therapy and came out the other side with a new book.

Obviously, it's great that he's free of that girl. Just no so good, if The Game is one of his prevailing mindset models for life on the other side of that relationship. His trust for people and women specifically, would already be shot to hell after being with a cheater. But the view of people in The Game, is that everyone is just an opportunity away from cheating, or just until they can trade up.

Which isn't how all people are.

Yea, right after you give someone close to you a gun with instructions to murder you. Good thinking 🤷🏼‍♂️
