The article by Cameron Teone sums it up. This dude interviews celebrities for a living, check out his latest book, where he has met and interviewed tons of A-list celebs.
His Stylelife Academy program is crap. All his programs are... and you can tell that he is successful with women because of his career and network. The whole bullshit about him being a total loser is completely skewed to serve his marketing purposes.
Before the Game he had already written a book about motley crue, jenna jameson and dave navarro. I other words he was an accomplished author with a fantastic career. All the game did for him was to get out there and work what he already had.
let me put it more accurate (taken from another post on the forum):
"You know Neil Strauss. He had a lot of powerful connections/networking value within the music industry. In fact come to think of it people were suprised he pulled Lisa Leveridge (HB8)-when in fact she was in a shitty band and probably needed a big break. So come to think of it he didn't need Game.
Also Lisa Leveridge's next boyfriend was Robbie Williams (mega UK popstar and former member of Take That) so she was continuing with the "music networking" boyfriends" (as another point Neil Strauss' current girlfriend is a pornstar. Whats the connection?
Answer- he wrote "How to Make Love like a pornstar" with Jemma Jameson. Again powerful connections in the porn industry!) "
so maybe he was bad with women before he met Mystery but it's only because he didn't know how to use his status and social value.
Since he had Social Career/networking Value, all he really needed was maybe: to change his style as far as clothing, a more modern haircut, maybe a little more social skills and self esteem. That's it...
He didn't and still doesn't need all of Mystery's pick up lines, routines and mind tricks.
