I am sure many of you out there have read it, Neil Strauss' The Game (if you haven't I recommend you to read it, man as woman). I have heard many (specially women) say that it is so untrue and yet I have been seeing this work so many times myself. The essence in the 'search' for a person you are interested in is to play rather uninterested, let the other feel that there is a resistance and not to give in too easy. There should be a friction and to be really successful you should not only play uninterested but preferrably also be nasty and evil to the person. Many of you might say 'no' now, 'this is not how it works', but I have seen too many proves of this that I am prune to say that really, this is the truth.

So the difficulty here is that if you really like someone, you should act like you don't. How can you be cruel to someone that you really do like? This game which seems to increase is seemingly working for people that lack the passion and lust to some extent and the game is suitable for people that are able to feel little or nothing and only just play the game.

What about the 'nice guys'? The people that want to be close to someone, to feel the trust and to be trusted? The ones who are willing to put all they have into that special one, is these characteristics something that was belong to the past, to the chivalry?

 

Is the game a reflection of the current life style most of us have? Stressful, not being able to have time for all that we want? Is the game appropriate in such a period when time to really get into a relationship, time to let yoruself love someone, time to spend with another human is not there anymoer??

 

Who is the winner in such a game?
