The Game

up for in analysis. He was a social deconstructionist and behavioral micromanager. He could watch a human interaction and break it down to the physical, verbal, social, and psychological components that powered it. And AMOGing—or cutting a competitive male cockblock out of a set—appealed to his subversive side; stealing a woman from the jocks who used to pick on him in school was a taste far sweeter than simply seducing a woman sitting alone in a café.
    So he watched the body language AMOGs used to lower his status in sets; he observed the eye contact they used to signify to girls that he was a creep; he analyzed the way they’d pat him on the back with so much force that he’d lose his balance. Soon he was spending more time in the field studying AMOGs than sarging women, until he slowly and painstakingly laid out a new social order—where, to paraphrase the musician Boyd Rice, the strong live off the weak and the clever live off the strong.
    Now nothing could stop the PUAs. They could steal girls right out from under the disbelieving eyes of boyfriends the size of refrigerators. They were stepping into dangerous territory.

    Here’s some stuff I’ve been up to lately that is pretty funny.
    I learned most of this from European naturals while trying to steal sets from them and prevent them from stealing sets from me. The guys here are not pushovers like most guys in North America. Many have game. So I’ve been figuring out how to out-game them.
    All of this has been field-tested probably hundreds of times.

    AMOG: Hey girls, what’s up?
    PUA: Hey dude ( put your hands in the air like you give up ), I will pay you a hundred dollars right now to take these girls away from me.

    (The girls will go, “No, no. We love you PUA.” And they’ll giggle and crawl on you, which is immediately deflating to the guy.)

    AMOG: ( Shows signs that he wants to fight )
    PUA: Ha ha, dude. Are you like trying to pick a fight with me? Ha ha.
    Okay, okay. Hold up, hold up. Wait a sec. We’ll do even better.
    First, we’ll have an arm-wrestling competition. Then, we’ll do
    one-armed push-ups. And last, pose-down!

    (Then start flexing and go, “Ladies?” They’ll start saying how you’re so strong. The AMOG will look like a tool because you’re making him seem like he’s trying too hard to impress the girls with his physical superiority.)

    AMOG: Hey man, keep talking. Let’s hear your pitch. Pick these girls up, man. You’re doing awesome.
    PUA Hey, you know I’ve gotta try to impress you cool London guys (orrugby-shirt-wearing guys or shiny-shoes guys or whatever). You guys fucking rock.

    (The point is to cut him down on whatever limited amount of knowledge you have of him, even if it’s not relevant. He’ll feel uncomfortable and his body language will show it.)

    AMOG: Is that design on your shirt a sphincter? Man, you’re going to need somebody to protect you, mate. You’re going to have all the guys into you.
    PUA: Dude, that’s why I rolled up on you. I need you, man. Help me, please, man. I look at you, and I just know that you were born to protect my sphincter.

    (Somebody actually said this to me. And, to be honest, it was a good diss. So when you have an AMOG who knows the game, you have to go further. Put him in the position of trying too hard to be your friend or joke about hiring him to do jobs that are beta to you. Say, “You’re like a comedian, but you don’t have to be funny for me to like you.” Or, “Man, that’s great. You should like design my website or something.”)

    AMOG: ( Starts touching you to show dominance )
    PUA: Ha ha, dude. I’m not into guys, man. Dude, the gay club is over there. Hands off the merchandise, buddy.

    ( The girls laugh at him, then he starts qualifying himself to you that he’s not gay. )

    AMOG: ( Gets in your face )
    PUA: ( Silence )
(Don’t respond. Just stand there quietly. If he keeps trying to out-alpha you and you don’t answer, eventually he looks beta because he is trying too hard to get your attention. Another trick is to make let’s-get-out-of-here motions with your eyes to the girls—mimic what they do to each other when you’re running a bad set—and they’ll leave with you.)
    Here are some other pointers.
    If an AMOG is with the girls I’m sarging, the goal is to neutralize him. If he’s just met the girls, the goal is to blow him out.
