reviews Natural Game»:
For those out there wondering how to go about learning to become that
“natural” they see out there, you should take a look at
this book. The basic
goal laid out by the author is not simply to teach you a process of pickup, but
to show you how to become what others might term a Natural, eliminating the need
for canned lines and stories.
Beginning with a brief history of the author (Gambler), we’re taken into the
Pre-Game phase which will give you the right presentation to have when entering
into a pickup and seduction. Going from what to wear and the proper posture, to
your basic mind-set when in a pickup, it covers the basics you should know
before you go out on your first attempt. It should be noted that unlike most
other books on the subject that start off by getting you prepared with improving
your Inner Game, this book saves that until later on and goes directly into
pickup. This is not meant to downplay the need to have a good Inner Game as well
as a good Outer Game, but it puts the importance more on action than an internal
thought process, and emphasizes the need to go out there and “do it” over
waiting until you’re “ready”. Remember, a natural doesn’t really think much, he
just acts.
From the Pre-Game, we’re then introduced to the 3 different “Characters” you
play in seduction. The book explains how to take the different characters you
play during a pickup and blend them all together into a successful pick up. This
is a great section to show you how each part of a seduction requires a different
“persona” to make things work.
After a brief intermission entitled “Making things easier” where we are
introduced to the different types of openings and how to take full advantage of
each (thus making your game easier), we’re taken into the heart of the book, the
System. This is where we will learn the complete pickup process going from the
approach, to building attraction, to the close, and all the nooks and crannies
in between. The author provides a number of hints, tips and techniques on how to
eliminate the possibility of failure, and gives us a number of real world
examples. Because of its importance, closing has a separate section devoted to
it. Another nice addition to this book that others seem to neglect is a section
devoted to Day Game. This system is not just for bars and clubs, but is for
anytime, anywhere pickups.
For those that have mastered the basics and are ready to move on,
Natural Game even
includes a section on Advanced Techniques which includes AMOGing, Objection
Management, Breaking Rapport, and NLP to name a few of the subsections (don’t
worry about all the terms and acronyms, there’s a definition page for all these
in the book).
And if you’re someone who needs to work on your Inner Game (or build it from
the ground up), then this book does not fail you in that regard. A full section
is devoted to showing you how to improve your mental state, change your
perception of yourself, help eliminate or reduce approach anxiety, etc.
The final section is a couple of example pickups for you to reference and see
how the Pros have worked through their pickups from beginning to end.
Sprinkled throughout the
book are a series of
Missions to help you build your pickup skills by having you take what you have
just learned and applying out in the field. This way, you’re not trying to take
a massive amount of information and fail because you have a lot to remember.
Each mission is designed to get you into the next level, and it’s best to
continue reading the book only after completing a mission.
Another thing you’ll see throughout the
book are diagrams that
help illustrate the process of each phase of a pickup, so that you can get a
better visual sense of what is happening, and what the potential outcomes are,
etc. This makes for a better understanding and will help the learning the
process.
Overall, this is a great
book for those that
want insight into the mind of a natural, and with the advanced section and the
section on Inner Game, it will also be useful for those who have been doing this
for a while. For those interested in becoming the natural they are jealous of,
this is a great find and will be a great addition to your library.

Comments from TokyoPUA (a.k.a. Ray Devans):
I only had a chance to read briefly through
the book but the
concepts described all looked sound and on point to me, so I can also definitely
recommend it based on my looking at it and on Jack’s review.
My favorite thing about
the book might be the fact that the author was brave enough to put pictures
of himself in the book that show his own fashion and looks transformation, which
is something you almost never see in eBooks on this subject. These pictures are
pretty inspirational and even made me rethink just how much I might still be
able to do to further improve that aspect of my own game.
Since the original review the guys at
PUA Training have
actually added even more information to the book, so I hope to get a chance at
some point to review it in more depth. But in the meantime, I still think it
will be a great addition to your library,
check it out now.
