How did Robert Greene's 'Art of Seduction' help you?

Yes certainly. Particularly the archetypes in my case. At the time I was trying to science the shit out of seduction and codify the stuff I was learning in the PUA community.

The archetypes really simplified things and gave me a foundation to build from.

I consider the book a must read just for the foundations aspect. IMO you need to read "Way of the superior man" right after though as it goes into the masculine/feminine energy interaction.

48 laws of power is significantly better imo.

About a third of the way through it. Learned I am a ‘Rake’ ;).

The stories provided are fun to read.

But, if you want a more literary guide that can teach you a thing or two about seduction; go pick up some trashy romance novels from the super market.

50 shades of grey. Nay book with a horse and shirtless dude on the cover.. ect.

Romance novels are a fucking goldmine.

No.

Where 48 Laws helped me look at interactions differently, AOS was fluff. Greene jumped on the trend of the day, and now newbs keep asking about it instead of books written by actual seducers or researchers.

It was extremely wordy and off-putting.

I even put a lot of faith into reading it at the time since it came so highly recommended by Strauss, but years later I remember nothing of long-term value from it.

Then I lost respect for Greene professonally when he was hired on at American Apparel as some sort of company executive and the company went under. If he's so smart and wise, how did the most popular and cheapest to make apparel company in L.A. fail under his guidance?
