The Game Interact to Attract Book Review Summary

1. You can only "interact" a woman with whom you are prepared to fail (if you find yourself wanting her badly, you'll never have her)
2. Exude extreme confidence.  Be relaxed like talking to a cashier you have known for years.
3. Demonstrate some kind of value (service to her), skill or talent NEAR your target (the women you may want to spend more time within the future looks wise, but don't know enough to make that decision, yet), but not directly to her.
4. Win over her friends / Have a fun interaction with her friends.
5. Be hard to get. Don't show her more attention than the others unless she earns it.
6. Be fun. Be outgoing, hint that she might be a person you would socialize with.
7. Handle challenges from competing men intellectually and psychologically. Never fight. Tell them what they are doing and why.
8. Respond to any signs that she's not interested in you as if it were "no big deal";don't respond/change facial expressions. Show her as much attention as you would anyone else.
9. Once you have your her attention, playfully insult ("tease") her. For example, "I like your hair, is that your natural color?" The more beautiful the woman, the more effective the tease is in garnering interest as they rarely hear comments of that nature.
10. Once attraction has been established, deter any unwanted behavior by withdrawing and disinterest, but do not pout or have an attitude.
11. Alternate between attraction and disinterest signals in a push-pull fashion until rapport is established.                                         12. Bad boys get the girl because they don't change facial expressions.

As I read, I found myself subconsciously adjusting my behavior... and getting surprising results. Women that used to intimidate me with their "presence" were suddenly acting goofy/nervous around me. After I got over the initial excitement of my newfound knowledge, I began to get disappointed that the women that made ME nervous for so long could be so easily interested in me. I feared that I would start to lose respect for women. Who wants someone they don't respect?
I realized that I wasn't manipulating. I was simply carrying myself with more confidence. I found myself initiating conversations with strangers. There were no signs of neediness or social anxiety. I realized a man with a conscience can take a small portion of the knowledge shared - The most difficult hurdle of establishing rapport with a woman to whom he is attracted. I realized all anyone really looking for is confidence. And many individuals that happen to gain a skill or talent as a result of his quest for a better sex life might just get some self-esteem in the process. And that, I believe, is the greatest good of dating. The greater one's self-esteem, the higher his goals.

Knowledge is power. And it's only how that power is used that can reveal the nature of its possessor. The only real dangerous "players" out there are the ones whose cognitive reasoning and emotional maturity never fully develop and, at the same time, possess Oscar-worthy acting skills. But an intelligent woman knows when she's being played. In the end, your true self is what counts and is the only thing that can find and keep love.
