And the rationalizations about their behavior are a constant force. Most of the PUAs are constantly reading, so they can throw out some biology study to justify their promiscuity and bad behavior. The most memorable justification to me was "It's not lying, it's flirting." After a while it's hard to not just yell at my Kindle, "No. You're lying. It's all lies, deceptions, or manipulation. You know who else uses this much weaselly language to support their behavior? Con artists. You are a sexual con artist." Just great. As described by my friend Alex who recommended it, "like a really long, really good New York Magazine article". I remember living through all of this, of course, but now I understand it. " — Aaron, 2/23/2012 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. Heilemann and Halperin have conducted hundreds of interviews to provide the inside story of the 2008 campaign…It vividly shows how character flaws large and small caused Obama’s opponents to self-destruct.” — New York Times Book ReviewAnyway, I read the first chapter and it wasn't bad by any means—I personally just couldn't connect with the main character! I seem to have a hard time connecting with male characters in genereal, especially if they're not extremely well-developed! Wiegand, David (March 9, 2012). " 'Game Change' review: Sarah Palin broke the rules". The San Francisco Chronicle. The best part of the book (all kidding aside) --was the science behind behind the techniques, and his personal 'real' life stories.

This is not a book about political candidates' positions on issues, rather an inside look at how the campaigns were run. It is fascinating!!! " — Cindy, 2/17/2014 So, I guess you could say this was a "it's not you, it's me" thing. I feel like fans of football would actually really enjoy this novel! It uses a lot of football terms and there's talks with the coach and stuff which was nice! I just made the mistake of thinking this novel was going to be something it's not and having high expectations that weren't met. Elliot, Philip (January 9, 2010). "Reid apologizes for 'no Negro dialect' comment". The Associated Press. Boston Globe. Very good behind the scenes of the 2088 race. Also, much, much better than the already good HBO based on (one small part of) the book. " — L., 11/12/2012It was very balanced in it's approach I thought. He didn't take sides...he simply reported the story. Overall though, it was too much detail. This book could have been as good as it was and been half as long. It did become tedious. " — Jay, 2/6/2014 Game Change is the New York Times bestselling story of the 2008 presidential election, by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of the best political reporters in the country. In the spirit of Richard Ben Cramer’s What It Takes and Theodore H. White’s The Making of the President 1960, this classic campaign trail book tells the defining story of a new era in American politics, going deeper behind the scenes of the Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin campaigns than any other account of the historic 2008 election. 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. Bresnahan, John (January 10, 2010). "Republicans charge Lott-Reid double standard". Politico . Retrieved January 10, 2010. Very interesting and entertaining. The part about McCain watching the Edwards "hair" video over and over to cheer himself up is hilarious.

HBO, Penguin cancel 'Game Change' over Halperin's alleged sexual harassment". politico.com. October 26, 2017 . Retrieved April 11, 2018. When you use these expert advices in the 'field', women will listen and consider you as a possible match. Now, the important part is, like Neil Strauss also clearly states, that after you have build some kind of self-confidence and ability to not take everything serious, you can slowly put your own self in your approach to strangers and make really interesting connections. Have relationships, you never would have expected to happen. The ultimate goal is to bring the right people together, instead of marrying the first girl that pays attention to you.for a while they suspect that she's mentally unstable and hire a doctor to watch and analyze. and, when they question how she's always able to remain calm, to accept it as it comes, to seamlessly change overnight from obscure alaskan politician to global mega-celebrity, she explains: This was phenomenal. I loved the insider look into this election. Hope they do another one for the 2012 election campaign. " — Terri, 10/23/2013 when john admitted to having an affair he continued to deny that the child was his (he knew it was) so that obama would tap him for attorney general and then when the truth came out, he'd already have the job. when elizabeth was asked if she believed his denial, she responded: "I have to believe my husband's denial. Because if I don't, it means I'm married to a monster." Their quest is obvious, and thrust in your face; to hook up with as many beautiful women as possible. Strauss becomes prolific at the social marketing skill, and becomes addicted to his casanova killer abilities. But as is so often the case, the higher levels of his skill (seduction) lessens the inner drive and excitement he feels towards his conquest. The chase becomes not only boring, but a bit frightening. Not a spoiler here, but the author reflects. He ponders. He accidentally finds an inner moment observing from third person where his life has now taken him. He wonders if it is all he wants to become. He looks closer at his bizarre friends. All of them have major issues. Is this what he really wants?
