A pro-seduction feminist interviews Neil Strauss

Here's an interesting statement that Neil made. I bold-faced comments that are interesting to me and are based on my experiences as being, to me, TRUE:

Clasissa Thorn (interviewer): This reminds me of pickup artist discussions around "inner game," where pickup artists try to develop personally by exploring themselves and their values and their life goals. I'm fascinated by the concept of inner game, because it's giving someone an opportunity to develop themselves, but it's doing it through the lens of pickup.

Neil Strauss: What helps one's inner game, too, is just having some success: Success breeds confidence, which helps your inner game. To me there were two routes for The Game. One of them is that it becomes a funny blip on the pop-culture map where guys are wearing funny hats and coats and doing magic tricks. Or it becomes the beginning of a men's self-help movement—because self-help isn't emasculating anymore if you're doing it to get laid. After getting into pickup, all of a sudden a lot of guys become more spiritual and do things they would never otherwise do. It's kind of ironic—I was just remembering the other day that before I did The Game, I made fun of a men's New Age group in a Beck video I was in. Then, a few years later, I'm kind of at the center of a men's support group.

One thing that happened to me that benefited me was to hear or read about how someone, or several people, were able to accomplish something that was beyond my comprehension or beliefs.
