>>19202286The last few chapters of the book are all about how PUA caught on like wildfire and then became played out and awkward, to the point where club thots started saying things like, "Why do guys keep saying that to me?" and shutting them down when Neil and co. would go out and try to run their routines. He also goes into some amount of detail about the frequently-awkward and embarrassing side of all the "getting naked with strangers" stuff instead of just glamorizing and bragging about it.
For the ending, Mystery gets outed as an interpersonally-dysfunctional mommy-issues (big surprise) type with commitment issues and a crippling fear of success who never could or likely would hold down a decent honest job, and Neil goes one-by-one through the rest of the posse epilogue style detailing the various ways they all wound up scoring awful relationships, shit marriages and divorces, and/or drifting listlessly as aging bachelors who never could fill the void that was driving them. The author gets his happy ending when he finally meets a girl who all his "game" fumbles with, who calls out his PUA front as stupid, but who ends up liking the journalist he was before getting into PUA anyway.
>>19202291Okay, but it's still not an instruction manual and it's still retarded that smoothbrains still to this day occasionally pass it around like it's some kind of intro for getting started with PUA. I got passed that book back when it was actually popular and I was a desperate teenager, but I had the wherewithal to actually read it instead of just taking what other people said about it at face value. And I honestly think that made a big difference in the trajectory of my life.
