Neil Strauss's Emergency

[eddiequest4]

I read the book. WOW ! It's amazing the stuff that's in there. And it's got that colorful Strauss humor, too.

[raigekimaru]

what an interesting dude

[BicycleSeatSniffer]

Neil Strauss has lost the plot, hes a legend in his own mind when it comes down to being a Pick Up Artist and a fucking wired in the making with the survivalist crap.

I love the guy, but watching this video, I'd never see a PUA in him. mPUA*...

Although great respect for bringing out 2 unique and interessting books!

And having a great forum :)

[sweetheart815]

@SubzeroedMind Seriously......I just don't see it either. You are watching a video of the single most successful guy at picking up women on the planet? Bullshit. He might have done well for himself, but none of the girls I know find him attractive. Maybe he can turn them with that fruity phlegmy voice of his.

[SubzeroedMind]

I agree, to me his voice isn't very masculine, nor are his looks special.

I don't know if girls have any resistance towards such guys, but aparently, he came out quite well. I don't know if he's the most successful one, but I do think that his transformation (beginning > now) was enourmous.

But, as we said, in this video he doesn't look anything close to "PUAy".

cheers sweetheart!

The guy just has the balls to do what he does. Nobody is forbidden to do the same things.....if of course they can.

[eldiezmaradona]

Neil Strauss started his career playing the role of "Gollum" in the blockbuster film Lord of the Rings. His instant success led to fame and fortune, followed by his famous book the "Game", where he earned millions. LOL Now he's got thousands of disciples who swear he's the man, now Neil's next move is to prove he's Rambo and can survive in the jungle too HAHAHAHA What's next Neil? Are you going to become the president of the world? Behold your majesty LOL The Return of Gollum Lord of the world!

[canongatebooks]

I think Andy Serkis would beg to disagree.

[mateor09]

let me get your take on something. Has Neil Strauss ever smoked weed?? This has been bugging me since ive discovered this guy.

[LOKIUNCIA]

Best Damn Book I ever Bought.

[ult1m8jonathan]

[katieim]

FAVORIT

[inisterik]

jajaja  sure , but anyway is a very good writter

[yoshiyambao]

at 1:14 hes thinking, wheres all the women to sarge?

[37uber]

The Sydney Morning Herald wrote about it saying it was too far in the right direction. He basically said halfway between not caring and the essence of this book was about right.

[TROX3L118]

i dont understand what you wrote in that last sentence. lol Its so strangely worded.

[37uber]

I mean he takes it too far. Suggesting stocking up on food and having bunkers and being completely paranoid and only caring for yourself.

It is suggested that it is a decent read but the main idea is excessive. SMH suggests pulling back on his core ideals.

[TROX3L118]

Ah I see now... I just didnt understand what you meant by the word "Right" like if you were refering to the political right wing or something. lol

Nothing wrong with having extra food set aside for disaster and some guns and ammo. Its not like you inventory and clean your m4 every night. haha

Its just nice comfort for me, all it takes is one nuke and there would be chaos. Im going to be the prepared guy, not the paranoid one "if" shit hit the fan. But thats just what helps me sleep at night.

[ergofysik]

Only caring for yourself?

He's taking CERT and EMT classes and finally he becomes a member of C.E.M.P. - how is that not caring?

[37uber]

You can't plan for war, take pre-emptive measures for such a day, in it your actions, then come tomorrow expect peace to be the result. It just doesn't work like that. Love leads hate.

I know America does a great deal in it's homeland for its people. Securing infrastructure single handedly without the help of the UK. It is remarkeable how far and wide America has gone. In the psyche of all english speaking people are many heart strings for USA as the result of numerous heart wrenching movies.

[37uber]

It is the view of SMH projected onto OZ readers. I haven't read this but i have read The Game. In the Game he shows dark sides of the pick-up world only leveraging the seediness by juxtapositioning it against a darker more seedier version of himself. I'm sure SMH wrote the article to protect the readers from getting trolled or pwnt into being the latter of this dark turmoil world he exposes IMHO.

[EeSosepatey]

Let's see what you have to say in 19 months.

[thebabemagnet]

what happens in 19 months? (13 since you posted this 6 months ago).

[naekwon]

No offense Homie, but you didn't read that book. He goes on to be trained as an EMT, and joins elite Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT). He was one of the first responders at the train disaster in California this past year. I suggest you read it, because the dude lays out a clear blueprint for Everyone to be a Hero. Its all about being able to take care of yourself AND your community.

[msiley]

The SMH obviously didn't read the whole book. He never made a bunker. Stocking up on food in case of a disaster is common sense. Look at Katrina in New Orleans. Neil eventually became part of the system and gave medical

attention to people involved in a horrific train crash, that happened last year. In the end it wasn't about taking care of himself but taking care of the community.

[37uber]

OKOKOK sheesh. Obviously from general consensus it has more pros than cons. I haven't read the book myself, however I agree with the random people that bother to argue on its behalf. If you all like the book it must be worth reading. I'll bet on that. Obviously SMH was trolling me :(

I have read 'The Game' which rubs me the right way so i may as well take this for a shot. Thank you for helping me see the light =P

[k3vin187]

It seems like everything he writes about is motivated by fear.. I wonder if that's what we're all motivated by

[twieneke76]

Great book Neil! It got into this stuff as a kid and it saved mine and my ex-wife's life when someone attempted to break into our house one night and left as soon as they heard our guns chambering rounds. It's not about the tools or the toys - it's the mindset.

Btw, guess we have to change your PUA name from "Style". My suggestion - "Lupin" (Latin Taxonomy for wolf - Canis Lupinus).

[onesentiment]

Amazing guy.
