Some friends of mine read it and gave it to me (when i was single)
It's an interesting read, I'd never try anything in it as I'm not sure it sits comfortably with me, but it means I can spot other guys who've read it.

one person tried it on a female friend of mine who'd read it. Her reply was "textbook" and she turned around he looked very upset.

The Game is a book about how to be a pick-up artist,
one of the favoured techniques involves complimenting something minor then subtly putting down something more significant to reduce self-esteem.

When I used to go out once or twice a week
I'd see it happen a fair bit. The friends I go drinking with are an even split of girls/guys, and i've seen a few supposed 'Pick Up Artists' crack on to my female mates (who could see right through them, thankfully).

It's been tried once on me
and I've seen other men try and use it. It just creeps me out slightly.

That's because it's fucking sinister.
If you're busted using it, your chat-up line instantly becomes "Hi, I'm trying to trick you into sleeping with me."

Never read it,
but it's not difficult to spot someone who has.
