Well you might
ask why I am combining the
Mystery Method with Neil
Stauss's (Style's) The Game?
Well
for those of you who don't know,
Mystery was
Neil's initial Guru. I'm
combining them here as they
are more or less coming from the
same technique or strategy.
I am including them here (even
though I only give them a
four-out-of-ten rating) for the
following reason. In conjunction
with the above two products -
"Dating To Relating" and "Double
Your Dating" they can have
decent value.
Taken on their own, I would not
recommend them for the average
guy. The techniques that are
given here, definitely work, but
they only work on a narrow band
of what I would label shallow
women.
And when you use the techniques
on thier own (without the
more sophisticated understanding
of women put forth in "Dating To
Relating" and "Double Your
Dating"), you yourself become
rather shallow. And a lot of
guys won't be able to (or won't
want to) use the techniques for
that reason.
Now, there is not anything at
all wrong with being shallow, as
sometimes you just want to get
laid. But sometimes you want
more than that. You are NOT
going to get the MORE part from
these techniques (unless you
just derive it on your own from
the sheer volume of experience.)
Mr. L. Rx
in Dating To Relating,
apparently evolved almost the
exact same techniques as
Mystery on his own and
gives them to you in "Dating To
Relating" ( And since he is
older than Mystery, he
was probably the first one using
these techniques.)
But Mr. L. Rx. also tells you
many more techniques. Mr. L. Rx
shows you how to pick up the
other 80% of women in clubs and
the other 90% of women in life
that these techniques won't work
on. He tells you how to get a
"real" relationship and how to
pick up "real" (non-shallow)
women.
Mystery and Neil Strauss's
techniques are very powerful and
work, but the end product is you
might not like the kind of girls
you get as a result of this, and
you might not like who you are
being as you do this.
Plus a major drawback is that a
lot of their techniques are just
memorized lines. Even Neil
Strauss has admited that
"The Game is changing." So
many guys have learned his
and Mystery's pick up lines
and routines that women
have heard them before and
recognize them and men are
getting busted for using
them.
There are even gurus on the
internet who took
Mystery's training and were
successful at it, but gave it up
and don't practice it anymore.
In one of David DeAngelo's
Interviews, he interviews David
M. who had become an Internet
Dating Guru and quite frankly
states he did not enjoy doing
the Mystery Method even though
he graduated and was successful
at it.
So if you can more or less
learn the exact same
techniques plus a lot more
from Mr. L. Rx, why then am I
also recommending Mystery/Neil
Strauss?
The value of these materials is
similar to what I said in the
Double Your Dating section
above. Mystery goes into more
details about the method than
Mr. L. Rx does. So, if you are
really interested in being a
"player" as your life's
ambition, there is value in
getting this information in
conjunction with Mr. L.
Rx's data.
Mr. L. Rx actually gives you
more techniques to be a player
with, but Mystery gives you more
in-depth information on this one
strategy with this one
"type" of woman than Mr.
L. Rx does. Mr. L. Rx gives you
more tools to create "pick up"
strategies with, but Mystery and
Neil give you a lot more
information that you can create
with once you get and understand
Mr. L. Rx's tools.
The value of Neil Strauss's book
"The Game" is that it gives you
a very interesting sort of
historical application of the
techniques to think with. Again,
this can be very useful.
Neil has also evloved Mystery's
techniques on his own and will
give you a slighly different but
similar perspective on things
and has his own website and
workshops in addition to his
book "The Game."
So, if you are
the kind of guy like me who is
very interested in being very
skilled at this "meeting women"
stuff, then I would say these
materials (The Mystery Method
and "The Game") are also a MUST
for your library in addition to
"Dating To Relating" and "Double
Your Dating."
However, I would caution you.
These materials aren't going to
work for a lot of guys. These
materials aren't going to create
satisfying relationships for a
lot of guys (even if they do get
you laid). And these material
aren't necessarily going to make
you feel good about yourself
(unless you have perhaps very
low self esteem.)
Taken on their own, they are
moderately effective as they do
work, but only on a certain kind
of shallow insecure woman. They
are moderately easy to implement
(unless you have moral issues
with "bullshitting"), but they
are not geared for internet
dating and are not going to
teach you how to
really relate to a woman
and keep her as a girlfriend.
(Unless she is totally
superficial and remains so the
rest of her life.)
So final evaluation, if you are
rich and/or obsessive like me,
get these materials in addition
to Dating To Relating" and
"Double Your Dating" but don't
bother getting them as your main
training system. They probably
won't work for most guys.
