Ugly and short men also tend to have a chip on their shoulder, but looks don&#8217;t play as important a role for men as they do for women. It seems like many, perhaps most, female writers are driven by resentment. Hot women have other things to do aside from write such as take tribute from men. They coast through their young life on their looks. <\/p>\n<p>Every new article about Neil Strauss that I&#8217;ve found over the past few days has been by a woman.<\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/soloish\/wp\/2015\/10\/14\/10-years-ago-neil-strauss-was-a-pickup-artist-now-hes-a-committed-husband\/\">Lisa Banos writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been to a bar or club at any point in the past 10 years, you\u2019ve probably met them: followers of \u201cThe Game,\u201d Neil Strauss\u2019s 2005 bro-bible for seducing women. These men might \u201cneg\u201d on women, putting them down while trying to pick them up, or otherwise position themselves to have the upper hand in a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, the book was about male insecurity,\u201d or fear of women, Strauss says in a phone interview.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with 10 years of perspective \u2014 which included cheating on his model girlfriend and a trip to rehab for sex addiction \u2014 he\u2019s back with a different message.  If \u201cThe Game\u201d was a book about behavior, Strauss says his new book, \u201cThe Truth,\u201d is about beliefs \u2014 \u201cwhich are much harder to recognize much less change, but the results you get, you can keep for life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I notice that the plainer the woman, the more threatened she is by game.
