Learning The Psychology of Seduction

Apparently there are some men out there who will stop at nothing to sleep with beautiful women. One of these men has compiled a book containing all the dirty, and downright underhand psychological tricks that can be used for this purpose. I'm shocked!

Neil Strauss is the author of The Game: Undercover in the Secret Society of Pick-up Artists which is sure to produce disgusted reviews like this one in The Independent.

PickupGuide contains many of the techniques.
