Playbooks for charm, confidence, and the game of attraction.
The Game by Neil Strauss (2005)
Overview
Strauss infiltrates pickup gurus - seduction as strategy. Eye-opening social hacks, but its sleazy playbook reeks of 2000s bro-culture. Use with caution. 6/10.
The Red Pill Handbook by Red Pill Community (2014)
Overview
A manifesto of 'harsh truths' on gender dynamics and self-improvement, but its toxic undercurrents and misogynistic vibes turn empowerment into entitlement. Proceed with extreme skepticism. 2/10.
