Minimal Game: The No-Nonsense Guide to Getting Girls

Minimal Game lives to its expectations. Aaron Sleazy is able to convey his message clearly and boils down the essentials to a very succinct book. The book reads like a go to guide for reference, and not so much as a book or a treatise on a topic.What I like about the writing is that it is clearly grouped into sections and there is logical cohesion. Aaron is very honest in demystifying game by claiming that not every man will get every woman he wants or approaches. He sets the expectations for a realistic level bearing in mind actually going out there and interacting with women.This book is really set apart from others, in the sense that it has clearly identified the areas that are within control of men: Style, looks, opening, approaching women, pushing things further, checking to see if they are interested by escalation and upping the ante until you get laid by a woman who already likes you. Simple and minimal.The most refreshing chapter for me was the expose on screening women: you basically determine if she is interested or open to talk to you and then move to screen for sexual interest by being physical. If she doesn't respond well, you move on. No plowing, no test taking. You basically are in or out within a short period of time. Why? Because as Sleazy says, women determine if they let you in or not, they are the choosers.Having said that I would have preferred that Aaron was more blunt and aggressive in his tone as seen by his writings in his blog and forums. I got a sense he sugar coated the way the content was delivered, so it takes away a bit of it's impact on the reader. Again, this is not to criticize the content, and this is coming from personal preference, but I do think that most men, especially the co-dependent types that are drawn the most to game and seduction, needed a more stern approach to make them truly snap and face reality.Other than that, I would have also liked to have seen Aaron make a caveat and expanded on men who have deep issues of neediness, insecurities to seek out professional help. This should have been emphasized a bit more as there are many broken men who spend years reading this s*** and get nowhere because they never address these issues.

Of all the glut of "pickup" books out there, this one stands out as one of the good ones. It stands out because he's being real. He's giving you real advice that will actually work for you in the real world with real women. The guy has obviously been there and done that.Aaron doesn't sugar coat things or try to blow sunshine, which is refreshing. Can you read this book and have sex any girl you meet? Hell no! He tells you that flat out. Do looks matter? Hell yes they do! So you'd better maximize what you got. Not what most guys want to hear or what most gurus will tell you, but it's reality. Deal with it! How do you get out of the friends-zone? Don't bother, it's a waste of time. He's not selling you snake oil, he's telling you what's up.Most pickup books are selling you warmed over dating advice that will get you nowhere. Others are regurgitating Mystery Method and things they've read on message boards. Aaron just tells it like it is, warts and all.I appreciate that it's a quick read, there's no reason to over complicate things with women. Men and women have been getting together for eons, it shouldn't take 300 pages to explain how to get laid. Aaron is entertaining and to the point.Let's face it, with self publishing, the bar for a good book on women has been set ridiculously low. There's SO MUCH crap out there there right now begging for you to waste your money and time. "Minimal Game" lives up to a much higher standard.Is this the be all end all of pickup advice? Of course not, but there's plenty of good advice in there that will get you headed in the right direction.

The main problem with pretty much every pickup product out there is the huge amount of lies, nonsense, and marketing.First of all, other products are ridiculously high priced. I remember the first pickup book I read was $70. It was about 200 pages long and it felt like a sales pitch. On every single page, there was a link to other products that the company had and was pretty much an advertisement for their $3000 boot-camp.There are other companies that have DVDs that would take you 30 hours to watch and at the end you become more confused about dating, relationships, and sex.The main problem is that lot of the advice given contradicts each other. Meeting women is not a science and every woman is different, therefore there is no one true method to be successful.Personally, lot of the advice given in other products have harmed me. It made me over analyze every time I came across a girl and as a result I didn't end up doing anything. (What opener should I use, how can I demonstrate value before approaching, when we high-fived her fingers didn't go in between mine; she must not be attracted-this one 'technique' has cost me to miss more opportunities than anything else)Aaron keeps everything plain and simple. First, he disproves some common harmful ideas guys may have about dating, women, and sex. Some of those ideas are common in society (e.g finding the one) and in the pickup industry (if you don't have sex you're a loser, with good game alone you can score hotties, etc)The he gives you practical advice on what you need to do to become successful. It covers how to maximize your chances before meeting women, how to meet more women, how to find out quickly if she's interested, how to move things forward, how to overcome common barriers, and relationships.I highly recommend this book. Especially, if you're someone who is extremely confused and frustrated about all the nonsensical ideas that you had the misfortune of reading.

Just the basics. There are many useful concepts that could have been included in this book and are not, this is in fact the greatest single asset of the book. It might miss out some "nice to have" info but every single paragraph in the book is valuable - there is no filler whatsoever. This is great for defragging your brain and getting back to what actually matters with women. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Aaron Sleazy räumt auf mit dem ganzen Schwachsinn, den es in der Verführungs-Community gibt. Entweder wird er verbreitet von Jungs, die sich nicht raustrauen, um mit Frauen zu sprechen, und die lieber monate- bzw. jahrelang über Theorien in Internet-Foren schlau daherreden, anstatt im wirklichen Leben zu handeln; oder er wird verbreitet von sogenannten Pick-Up-Gurus, die nichts Anderes vorhaben, als Kohle abzusahnen. Wirft man einen Blick hinter die Fassade, stellt man regelmäßig fest, dass die selbsternannten Pick-Up-Artists meist tatsächlich nur wenig Erfolg bei Frauen haben, viel mehr Schein als Sein herrscht.Sleazy zeigt dir, wie du die Grundlagen deines eigenen Leben verbesserst und so deine natürliche Anziehung in deinem normalen Leben auf Frauen stetig steigt. Du musst nicht wildfremde Frauen auf der Straße oder in der Disko ansprechen, von denen du nicht weißt, ob sie wirklich für dich interessant sind. Stattdessen schaffst du dir ein Umfeld, schaffst dir Aktivitäten, bei denen du automatisch Frauen begegnest, die mit dir auf einer Wellenlänge liegen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass du handelst, ist größer, denn die Hemmschwelle, mit Frauen ins Gespräch zu kommen, ist viel geringer, wenn sie dir bereits bekannt sind. Gleichermaßen ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit für einen Erfolg bedeutend größer, als wenn du irgendwelche dir völlig unbekannte Frauen auf der Straße oder in Diskos ansprichst.Dies ist das einzige Buch, das du brauchst.Schmeiß alles Andere weg und handle!

Mit "Minimal Game" bietet Sleazy dem durchschnittlichen Mann einen ein Buch, welches mit unnützem und gar schadhaftem Wissen aufräumt.Mit Unwahrheiten der Pick-Up-Community, wie "Aussehen spielt keine Rolle", wird in diesem Buch aufgeräumt.Das Buch ist sehr empfehlenswert für Unerfahrene sowie Leute, welche von Pick-Up-Theorien wegkommen wollen.Insgesamt ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch.

not for me. but good for pre-teen boys that have no clue about the social norms of dating

Makes you look at it from a bird eye view. I would say this is helpful for guys with 0 experience.
