As usual, I’ve gone too far: I spent the last week compiling field
reports from around the world for you all. Yes, this email is
monstrously long, but print it out or read it on your phone: it’s
pretty fascinating.
I’m writing it because, first of all, I promised. And secondly
because one of the most frustrating questions I get asked by
the media when traveling to promote international editions of
The Game is: “Sure, this works on American women, but it
wouldn’t work on women in this country.”
And I’ll look around the café or the hotel lobby where we’re
having the interview, and at the men and women sitting there, and
it will look almost the exact same as a hotel or café everywhere
else in the world. Then I’ll recall going out and teaching workshops
on five different continents, and how the same techniques and
theories applied. In fact, the popularity of the game seems to
actually be greater per capita in countries like Sweden and the
U.K. than America.
The truth is, anywhere in the world, a man who’s seen as
needy and desperate and weak and insecure is not attractive.
Just because someone drew a border somewhere on a map doesn’t
mean that the people on either side of it are a completely different
species. We are 99.99 percent the same, yet we have this habit of
focusing on the .01 percent that’s different and blowing it out of
proportion. That is how wars get started.
So, in the interest of global dating peace, here are just a few of the many
field reports I collected from readers in cities where one wouldn’t
necessarily expect to find PUAs. I’ve focused mainly on Muslim cultures
and African countries, since (outside of places like South Africa and
Dubai where there are large PUA communities), there are established
scenes and lairs almost everywhere else. I remember a student at a
book signing telling me there were four separate lairs in India.
So enjoy the briefings below. And feel free to send in sarging reports
from your home country for a future installment of…

SARGING AROUND THE WORLD
———————————————————-
LAHORE, PAKISTAN
“There are a few opinion openers that I use, such as ‘who lies more
men or women,’ ‘what do you think of eyeliner on men,’ and ‘I need
a few good ideas for baby girl names.’ And I have developed my own
“Atif Aslam opener.” It’s similar to the David Bowie Opener.
Peacocking is also a great way to get attention or approached by
girls: spiked emo hair, black nails, a piercing, or an unusual tie.
“Keep in mind these are all opener for day game because the
nightclubs in Pakistan are high-class membership clubs. I have
found that art galleries are one of the most target-rich areas for
sarging. Sheesha or hookah cafes are also great places for cold
approaches.”
–”Lahori Casanova”
LUSAKA, ZAMBIA
“Me and my best friend Psymon first started reading and practicing
the art of pick up two years ago when my older brother bought a
copy of the Double Your Dating ebook. Then I found and read a ton
of Bandler and Grinder NLP books and got a hold of the Speed
Seduction ebook, and hypnotized a certain chick (she’s still
stalking me now). Then I acquired The Game. Since then,
Psymon and I reinvented ourselves, downloaded a whole lot of
books on magic, and have taken peacock effect to a whole new
level. I quit drinking and wanking too. I went sarging this weekend
and now have 5 or 6 more girls phoning me (only after one
weekend!). I think the Mystery Method is the best PUA strategy
there is because it makes full use of social dynamics and is
totally under the radar (so resistance is minimal). I’m sure the
community hasn’t heard many (if any) sarging expeditions from
Zambia, so maybe we could network a bit, eh?”
–”Wolf”
RABAT, MOROCCO
“Rabat is a Moroccan city, then a Muslim city. This explains the
fact that most seduction sessions are limited by the religious
side. But people have recently begun to detach from the ethical
side to join what I would call globalization. I mainly practice on
girls bigger than me, since I’m only sixteen. I remark that the
techniques work well, since I’ve become popular because of this.
I want to reiterate that I am a good Muslim, but that also does
not prevent me from improving my life.”
–”Black-soul”
After this email, Black-soul sent a field report that began with
him telling a female friend at a cafe, “I bet I’ve changed, and I can
seduce girls.” She pointed out two women walking in the street,
who he approached and pretended to know, then started throwing
challenges at them. When they shit tested him back and told him
he was too young, he flipped it around. In the end, they conceded
that he was “mature” and gave him their contact information in
front of his “baffled” friend.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
“Do you know you have followers in Africa? Nigeria, to be precise.
There are boys who visit me almost on a daily basis to read the
emails and newsletters you dispatch. People where you live have
money to buy books and attend seminars, but here it’s the crumbs
that fall from the master’s table we feed on. Mind you, it’s not only
helping me when it comes to women. It’s affecting all aspects of my
life.”
–Chidi
HAVANA, CUBA
“I’ve seen several seduction techniques and I’ve applied some of
them here. Here are some advices for sarging in Cuba: if you go
to a disco, bar, or club, you must peacock a lot if you want to
have great results. Women here give a tremendous value to how
the man looks (not physically, but the way he dresses). In more
informal situations, you may prefer to use David DeAngelo’s
cocky funny. Guys aren’t so smart here in the sarging field.
Most of them just yell at the girl, ‘God, you are so hot, can I
marry you today?’ and stupid things like that. So it’s very good
for PUAs.”
–GDC
TEHRAN, IRAN
“Most of your material is practical and efficient here, but we’ve
got a gift here, which is restrictions of very intimate public
interactions between non-married males and females due to
religious beliefs. This is a great gift because it makes women
crave for men, which makes the game a lot easier and different
in some aspects! And I most assure you, we’ve got quite amazing
HBs over here, especially in Tehran. This country is not as bad
as what international propaganda says about it.”
–”Prince”
Another PUA in Iran, Symphony, wrote a separate email echoing
Prince’s sentiments and adding, “There are no clubs and bars here,
only house parties. The thing that works best here is the neg. I
shared my knowledge with some of my friends here and they
went nuts. They overdo it because it really works.”
And just in case you don’t believe Iran is a hotbed for pickup, one
more PUA wrote in, Asin, who said he sarged malls and private
parties. He described seeing a girl at a party, stealing her seat
using the move in the book, and then giving a time constraint.
This was followed by the ESP test (she picked 3 and then 7–
just like it works everywhere else). They danced, and just as they
were connecting, he did a takeaway. When he came back, he gave
her the trust test, received numerous IOIs, isolated, negged,
qualified to recover from the neg, and then did the Mystery kiss
close and made out with her.
HARARE, ZIMBABWE
“I’m from Zimbabwe, and I have used a lot of your techniques,
especially for the approaching and the negs. I was out walking late
one night and spotted an HB7, and she gave me her phone number.
That was the first time I overcame my fear of approaching. I am
going through a divorce and when I discovered the PUA community,
it changed my life.”
–M.B.
BEIRUT, LEBANON
“Girls here are no big different from girls abroad, and I can play
that for my benefit more because no guys as unique as PUAs
approach them. I still have a lot to learn, but girls always confess
that I’m different than all the other guys, and that’s because I’ve
changed and improved my personality into an alpha male who knows
how to play the game. For girls here, they are really used to the
barrage of boring guys approaching with, ‘What do you do?’ or
‘You’re pretty’ or some stupid joke. They’ve never met a PUA
character, so when i approach, they totally get into me, because
I’m playing the game!”
–”Raymond”
Raymond also shared a field report from the mall, where he
approached with an opinion opener (”who lies more”), followed
with a DHV (”ring finger routine”) and a disqualifier (”if they put
us in the same room, we’d kill each other; I shouldn’t be talking
to you right now”) to which she replied, “No, stop it, you seem
different.” They met at a bar a few days later, made out at the
bar, and ended up having sex in her car.
SHANGHAI, CHINA
“I think this game goes well in China. We have a website for pick
up fans to communicate there. Chinese people like to learn all the
techniques. We have Chinese version of The Game, Mystery Method,
Double your Dating, etc. To be honest, Chinese girls are easy to
pick up once you learn to be funny and talkative. It’s less of a
challenge now, so I started picking up foreigners–Korean, Japanese,
American. And now I prefer a steady relationship. Shanghai is the
best for The Game. I work as a model agent, so there are models
around me everyday. I’m kind of tired of beautiful girls.”
–”Travis”
TUNIS, TUNISIA
“As you know, Tunisia is a small country in North Africa. The girls
are kinda hot here, depending on where you go. The most significant
technique from the game is negs. As soon as PUAs open here, they
neg, and that works like heaven. Storytelling with DHVs is also an
important aspect in the seduction process. And finally a phone
number exchange, and a call in one or two days to set up the next
meeting. This field report is of my last cold approach and the
girl became my girlfriend now…”
–”Code”
Code goes on to describe a conversation he was having in the metro
with his wing. They like to talk about the Game in English, so no
one knows what they’re talking about. Their conversation got very
raunchy. When his friend left, he writes that he “noticed a cute
little girl with a dark hair, dark brown eyes and sexy thin
athletic body.” He opened with a situational opener, and she
started challenging him on his raunchy conversation with
his friend, because she’d understood it. But he stood his ground,
added some lines from the game (plus a line he’d heard from a TV
show), and, as he writes, “the conversation started to sparkle
between us.” They talked for so long that he missed his stop. She
had advised him to listen to a song, so he told her, “If I like the
song I will call you and tell you what I think. If I don’t, I won’t call.”
Evidently he liked the song, because she is now his girlfriend.
NAIROBI, KENYA
“First, the PUA scene here in Nairobi is alive alright, but not in
any formal way or organization. It’s more of individuals or wings
going out. The other thing is that it’s more perfected by women.
Picture this: There are females who actually go out almost on a
daily basis to clubs and social scenes, hook up guys who will foot
their great time there and sometimes part with money for the girl
to take care of herself until they meet again. A number of men
here are suckers over and over again, so it’s good to be a PUA.”
–”Oppenheimer”
JAKARTA, INDONESIA
“First of all I would like to congratulate the fact that your work
has reached halfway across the world where I live. Your book
has opened my eyes and changed my world. I would totally be
classified as an AFC before (perhaps a bit now as well), even
though I am not bad looking and not an idiot. With The Game,
somehow I have realized my mistakes. I now know full well my
strengths and weaknesses and how to utilize each of them. I have
never dreamed of becoming a player or a part of some sexual
escapade: all I wanted was for myself to be ready and prepared
when someone special does come along. And I was able to get
the best looking girl in the known social circle as my girlfriend
by applying some points you described in the book, such as
neg hits, body language, etc.”
–M.B.
MOSCOW, RUSSIA
“Your book The Game in certain circles is quite popular and
widespread in Russia. For example, when the book appeared in
Moscow on sale through major booksellers, I decided to buy it
and was greeted with empty shelves. There was only one left and
I bought it quickly. Even though immediately after the release of the
book, many people independently translated the book into Russian.
Recently, it has become so known that some girls when meeting
directly ask, ‘Are you a pick up artist?’ This was facilitated by the
crowd and newcomers who took greedily to the materials and
screamed from each corner, ‘I am a pick up artist!’”
–”Mons”
MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE
“Mozambique is a really poor country. More than half of my country
lives on less then one US dollar a day. What you have taught to me
and all the other guys here is worth all the extreme consideration
and appreciation in the world. It’s not just the women, it’s a
lifestyle. It was wonderful last week when I did the evolution
phase shift, and I was talking about animals and evolution. She
enjoyed listening to it and because she did, she let me know that
by giving me a kiss. Isn’t that just awesome?!”
–Kiúri
PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD
“Trinidad does not have a community per se, but strangely enough I
have found men who know about the methods. Your knowledge has
reached our shores, and definitely not just by words of my mouth.
Trinidad, and the Caribbean in general, is much more laid back and
relaxed. I’d argue you probably can get by with just the bare
essentials. But truth be told, rather that just getting by on your
natural charm, luck, or really just being a fairly good conversationalist,
it’s nice to have techniques in your back pocket that work and a proper
understanding of why they do. I always love using the five questions
game. And just last night I had a girl asking me if I could remember
what I asked her group the first time we met. It was your Five Oceans
opener. This was nine months ago btw, and she still couldn’t get
over it!”
–”Easy”
KAMPALA, UGANDA
I’m from Uganda and it’s just fascinating and inspirational what
you have taught. I’m meeting some Eritrean babe in a few and just
told her to wear women’s shoes this time (neg). I met her at a fast
food joint, and in fifteen minutes had her number. I had successfully
done the cube…absolute magic man. Started a small group of
friends that are good with this material. Basically we are about 10
good friends and we are building on where you put us.
–G.W.
I think the point has been made: When it comes down to it, people
are people. So no more excuses from those of you hesitant to say
hello to the women of your dreams because you feel your city or
hometown is unique or challenging or somehow the exception
to the rule.
And next time someone from the press asks me if this is just an
L.A. or American phenomenon, I’m handing them this email…
Enjoy and talk soon,
Neil
P.S. Now if we can just get that North Korean PUA community going…
