Hey everyone,

Area51Lifestyle, the premier source of information on The Game, Mystery and PUA continues it’s investigaiton of Neil Strauss.

We’ve had questions as to why we started this investigation.

Here’s the scoop:

The story began in Macon, Georgia, in Frank Kern’s living room as he and his wife improbably reintroduced me to Mystery, the world’s greatest Pick Up artist according to the New York Times, and introduced me to the New York Times best seller The Game, authored by Neil Strauss.

This was October of 2005 and things were very different then than they are now.

The Game, Neil’s first book as himself, after having ghost written books like “The Dirt, Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band.” all about Motly Crue, Tommy Lee’s first and most famous band.

(Incidentally Tommy Lee would become a massive influence on pick-up through his relationship with Neil becuase of Mystery. Explanation to come.)

Neil also helped Pam Anderson pen a book, but the Game ripped into his own personal life…

…At least to an extent.

And more importantly it penetrated the world of the pick-up artist, the guy who used strategy, training and skill built guile to attract women and not just the classic formula of money, looks and power.

In fact “the Game” chronicled how Mystery, Neil’s friend and mentor, and Neil and their friends (and enemies!) lived like rock stars for a brief period of time in Hollywood.

Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, and Brittany Speers are all up for grabs by the reputation.

But more importantly the reputations of gurus in the pick-up market was made, broken and shanken up.

The big winners?

Everyone involved.  At least the gurus anyways.

It turns out that even folks who were sort of slammed by Neil’s account of the way he infiltrated the secret society of pick-up artist won out in the end because of the massive exposure of the situation and the immursive nature of Neil’s account that made the characters of the world pop to life.

On the chopping block were Mystery, Ross Jeffries and Tyler Durden, all aliases of well known pick-up gurus.

All humiliated all the way to the bank in the Game…

But who won out the most?

Neil Strauss is the one guy who went from having no reputation to vaulting to the forefront of recognition with a budding online marketing career to boot.

More to come.

It’s all happening….

Hey guys,

Area51Lifestyle continues it’s insider investigation into the New York Times best seller  The Game and it’s author Neil Strauss…

Now long before I met Neil I met Mystery.

After a dinner conversation during which Mystery mapped out how he was going to walk into saddle ranch and pick-up a pretty girl, right down to the the smallest details including how he would approach two seated girls within seconds of entering and offer them his arms to stroll around the room…

…We headed to Saddleranch and Mystery did exactly what he said he was going to do.

Plus our buddy Craig had his own particular brew of PUA, that Craig calls “the natural way” that looked, well, very natural.

(And fun.  The main thing I noticed was that girls Mystery and Craig met lit up with laughter and excitement. That’s what I paid the most attention to.)

Now another character I met at this event was Matt Kadish, aka Thundercat or Joseph Matthews.

Matt’s blog, Thundercats lair was apparently quite a hub of controversy in those days, and Matt wanted advice on how to expand his business.  I explained email marketing to him on a napkin at Burger King.  Matt’s friend Swingcat came along too, but he didn’t seem impressed.

Months later I got a call from Matt thanking me for my help and telling me the good news, that he had started pulling in around $10,000 a month from his business because of what I’d helped him with. (For more information on online marketing advice like what I shared with Matt go to BringtheFresh.com)

In one of those very weird coincidences/arguments for the law of attraction, I was visiting a friend in Georgia, Frank Kern, when Frank actually brought Matt’s alias, Thundercat, up.

It turns out that Frank had just stumbled across “The Game” Penetrating the Society of Pick-up artists, the red hot New York Times best seller and he was obsessed because he thought it was just so interesting from a psychology perspective.

I had never heard of the book, but I knew exactly what he was talking about when he started describing Mystery.

Frank had been tutoring his cousin Trey in online marketing and Trey also loved “The Game” and had the idea of doing some kind of an online marketing launch with Neil…

(Frank, our friend John Reese and I had a quite a habit of doing online marketing launches…in fact the reason I was visiting Frank was because I was working on the launch for Product Launch Formula.)

“Well I can put you in touch with Thundercat.” I told Frank.  “And I’m pretty sure he knows Neil Strauss.”

And that’s how Neil’s internet marketing career began, the beginning frames of the Annihilation Method launch…

Its all happening,

Mike Long
