Don’t approach a woman with a sexual come-on. Learn about her first and let her earn the right to be hit on. An amateur hits on a woman right away. A pro waits eight to ten minutes.”

IOI (an indicator of interest): a sign a woman gives a man that indirectly reveals she is attracted to him. E.g. leaning towards a man when he speaks, asking mundane questions to keep a conversation going, or squeezing his hand when he takes her hand in his Yes-Ladder: capturing her attention by asking questions that require an obvious affirmative answer. Step 9: Make Physical Connection The best put down to the whole process actually came from Tom Cruise, who Strauss interviewed because unlike a lot of the PUAs, Strauss actually had a pretty decent career, which allowed him to do celebrity interviews for places like Rolling Stone.

It was a gift...from a successful Jewish Male friend who lived in S.F. who knew Neil Strauss. (Funny gift, I know)... But I enjoyed it more than I thought...I enjoyed it tons and tons more than I thought! Now take a minute to consider what that means: you can be with any person you want. Right now. Absolutely anyone. The determining factor is not perfecting your physical form, but making them feel a certain way around you. They won't suddenly think you're beautiful, they will suddenly not care that you aren't. Consider that unlike your physical appearance, your personality and social skills don't change.

Some games, like The Mind or The Game, have a raging debate on whether it’s an activity or a game. With By the Book, I don’t think anyone can argue that it’s more of an activity than a game. Not that that’s a bad thing, but there is no score to keep, winners to crown, or losers to worry about. All you do is draw the challenge and figure it out. Cards will list the requirements for the challenge.
