My simple thought: The men who read "The Game" and the women who read "The Rules" deserve each other. How come they don't end up with each other? Because each is looking for people to con, not for partners. I like to think of Lions and Antelopes. Lions eat Antelopes, but they mate with Lions. A book telling you how to find and eat prey does not help you find and mate with another Lion. In fact, its methods steer you away from other Lions. So, at some point you have to decide whether you want to stop fooling around cutting the weak out of the herd and start looking for a true mate. I don't believe for a moment you're going to do that with a seduction system.

Hey, I read The Game - I even tried it out for a while. :D There is useful information in there; but it is obscured by the idea that the ultimate aim is to sleep with lots of women, get pissed and not really care about anything else. In actual fact when I read The Game I felt I was looking into the mind of a lost individual who found a process to attach himself too. Im not sure if Neil actually learned anything during that time period but it reads like he may have done. Sadly the book only touches on those aspects. (your analogy regarding Lions/Antelopes is something I'd agree with though)
