“New Rule, just because you live in the middle of nowhere doesn’t make you are more “authentic” than me. It just means you have a much longer drive to the airport.”
“Ever since Sarah Palin came along, this election has been falsely framed as a contest between “salt of the earth”, Small time Maverick Westerners and Snooty Eastern elites.”
Mitt Romney implied that “The East Coast is where all the Liberals, with all there bad ideas come from. You know, bad ideas like the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. As opposed to the brilliant ideas that come out of the West like Frontier Justice and wearing cowboy boots with a suit.”
“The ideas this nation was founded on came from the most Cosmopolitan people of their day, The Founding Fathers. Who believed in Science, who looked for Europe for wisdom, and had no use for ignorant hicks like Bush and Palin.”
“Cities are about diversity of thought, small towns are about, well, Crystal Meth!”
“The is so much Meth in Sarah Palin’s town, I am suprised she didn’t have a kid named “Tweaker”!”
I am going to see Bill Maher speak soon at a meeting of Democratic Heavyweights that I was invited to. Should be good.

The Pick up Artist phenomenon has gathered tons of speed over the last few years. Ever since “The Game” by Neil Strauss came out, every guy who never had success with girls, are now hitting up Nightclubs from Sunset Strip to Miami Beach spitting Game.
Personally, I love it. I think it is great that “regular guys” are learning The Game. Like I have mentioned before, it’s a Modern day “Revenge of the Nerds”. And I think that most Pick up Artist Theory can be very effective when used properly. Furthermore, I can’t really say enough about the Theories of Social Dynamics that the Pick up Artist have come up with.
But, there are some very distinct differences between The G and The Pick up Artists. This is not a diss in any way specifically to The Pick up Artists and the Pick up Artist community in general. I personally have met many prominent Pick up Artists and they always seemed like cool cats. But, I wanted to make the difference between G’s and Pick up Artists as clear as an un-muddied lake, as clear as an Azure sky in deepest summer.
So let’s get things nice and sparkling clear:
Style (and I don’t mean the guy who wrote “The Game” either.)
Pick up Artists: Ridiculous Fuzzy top hats, suspect designer jeans, Christian Audigier Shirts, Smet (or whatever is the “party shirt” de jour). Store bought trendy crap. Contrived “rebel” look purchased from corporations using sweat shop, third world, child labor. Wristbands and other wack jewelry. The Mall.
The G: Expensive, Sinister, Hand tailored Custom English or Italian tailored suits. Saville Row. Milan. Naples. Rome. Etro. Gucci loafers. Jermyn Street for custom shoes. Dunhill Lighters. Ozwald Boateng. Brioni. The Height of G Fashion. G’s dress like how men are supposed to dress. My Grandfather always told me; “Style and Taste are for men. Trends and Fashion are for the ladies.” G’s stick with Style and Taste.
Game
Pick up Artists: Solid foundational stuff but much too unnatural and studied. Canned routines. Demonstrations of higher value. Negs. Approaches “sets” and picks up on girls. Local.
The G: Natural. Unscripted. Smooth as silk. Girls pick up on G’s because they feel the higher value. International.
Target Girls
Pick up Artists: Ex-sorority middle America. Status Quo. Girls who look ok now, but have bad genetics. Girls Gone Wild.
The G: Model Girls. Extremely wealthy high-society girls. Daughters of CEO’s of The Fortune 500. International girls. Exotic Dancers. Sophistos. Daughters of Crime Bosses. Nightlife Princesses. Playboy Playmates (just to balance it out).
Background
Pick up Artists: Never successful with girls prior to studying The Game. Suburbia. Places you have never heard of or places you would never go in your right mind.
The G: Has Swooped girls from the cradle. Urban environments, stunning beaches with water the color of Curacao liqueur, worlds best cities, and places you want to spend the rest of your life in.
Pick up Artists: Can’t get enough of getting in nightclub “Party Pics” that are put on crappy websites.
The G: Avoids all cameras. (Unless its pictures with Liberal Politicians, Civil Rights Leaders, or Muhammad Ali. And you have all copies.)
Soundtrack to life
Pick up Artists: Not sure. Crappy Pop? Emo? (whatever that is.) Goggly Gogol? Johnny Zhivago? The Heaven Seventeen?
The G: Curtis Mayfield. Issac Hayes. Mid-nineties “Golden Age” NYC Hip-Hop. Jazz. Soul. Blues. Frank. The glorious 9th by Ludwig Van. Angel trumpets and Devil trombones.
Drinking
Pick up Artists: Preach a no drinking policy when picking up on girls. But I am sure gets plenty of Bottle Service.
The G: Top shelf booze. Clean Vodkas with soda and a lime. Big Reds. Spicy Zins. Absinthe. (Cuidado with the Absinthe). Cold Sake. Moloko-Plus. Vellocet or Synthemesc or Drencrom. Whatever is the national drink of whatever country you are currently peeling girls in.
Heros
Pick up Artists: Mystery, Neil Strauss, Mehow, etc.
Pick up Artists: Who knows? Accountants? Office workers? Regular guy jobs?
The G: Heistmen. Standover men. Clockers. Leveraged Buyouts. High Finance. “Gray Market” Commerce. Developing. Import-Exports. International Business. Submarine brokering (serious, I know this Russian cat on the Sub-flipping tip. Tells me is pretty lucrative too.) Impeccable Hustles. Mansized Crasts for the big, big, big money.
Smoking
Pick up Artists: Non-smokers.
The G: Chain smokers. First rate cigars. Chronic sometimes. G-13. Lebanese Blond.
Slang
Pick up Artists: Acronyms. “Stacking”. “Peacocking”, IOI’s “Sargeing” Etc.
The G: Language colored by many travels. Argot of the street. Lexicon of the true Game.
“Wings”
Pick up Artists: Loves to roll with a “wingman”.
The G: “Wingman” not in the G’s vocabulary. Too “Top Gun” (gayest movie of all time). Goes for Dolo. Or with a G Manifesto Certified Running Partner.
Drugs
Pick up Artists: Probably against.
The G: Never uses drugs to inebriate girls, and considers doing so, a horrible crime. Takes drugs himself, if the situation absolutely calls for it.
Street Cred
Pick up Artists: None.
The G: Thorough in every Borough, and double all across the Bubble.
CASH
Pick up Artists: Swears on never buying girls drinks, paying for dinners or spending money on girls.
The G: Has class and has connections to the old-school, so in the right moments buys deserving girls drinks. Is CASH rich, so paying for a dinner doesn’t hurt Bankroll. Loves haute cuisine and realizes it doesn’t hurt to have a beautiful girl next to you while wacking down some Jamon Iberico, cold Albariño and imported cheeses. Understands that having a beautiful girl in tow will only get The G better service, comped meals and more props next time he rolls to the spot.
Which brings us to the main difference between the philosophy of the Pick up Artists and The G Manifesto:
Pick up Artist Theory helps you pick up girls, The G Manifesto is The Guide to Getting More out of Life.
A higher level of The Game, if you will.
Sure, swooping girls is 99% of life, but I want the freshest, most marbled cuts of Toro too.
Winner and still Undisputed Champion…The G Manifesto, by Second Round KO (only because we carried them a round).

“I got a house in the Hamptons and a penthouse loft
But you’ve got intangibles, is that why your skills are so soft?
Over at 1OAK the bouncer looks at you sideways
Get back to your roots, there’s no line at TGI Friday’s
Hypothetical scenario: you get into the joint
You still can’t buy bottles with Starwood Points!”
“Might work 100-hour weeks, barely sleep
Do some blow off my desk when I’m eight red bulls deep
Compared to what you do, my job’s a challenge
I like my bankroll, bro
KEEP YOUR F#$*ING WORK-LIFE BALANCE!”
But I think the best line is by the consultant:
“And I know something about you…
You went to Walt Whitman – that’s a PUBLIC SCHOOL!”
Either way, its better to be a hedge fund guy or a PE guy any day. And its better than any of them to be a G any day or night.
I bomb atomically, Socrates’ philosophies
And hypothesis can’t define how i be droppin these
Mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
– Inspectah Deck
It seems like there’s a hundred “Pick Up Artists” and “Dating Gurus” and out there nowadays, one of the trends predicted in G Manifesto Outlook for 2008, “The Pick up Artist phenomenon will only grow stronger in 2008. It is like this decade’s version of “Revenge of the Nerds”. Personally, I love it. More power to them. (Keep in mind there is a distinct difference between The G’s and The Pickup Artists.)
In this Guest Manifesto, let’s do a quick comparison of some the key differences between Pick Up Artistry (faux du jour) and The G.
“R.E.A.L. Game” is a double acronym conceived by the Pick Up Artist Carlos Xuma, “to help guys get MASSIVE success with women. No dumb pickup lines or fake techniques.”
Let’s see what The Pick Up Artists says about REAL Game…
Xuma’s REAL stands for:
R = Relaxed & Resourceful – you have to be cool, calm, and collected… E = Effective & Energized – you have to find your power and what works for you… A = Authentic & Alpha – It has to come from YOU, your genuine personality and character… L = Lifestyle & Lasting – This has to be a way of life for you – success in everything, not just women …
To be fair, decent points all in all; kinda like Foundation Game/Self-Help 101. But definitely lacking the kind of sizzle that is going to get girls clinging to you like “’wow’ and ‘ow’ to now show ya how to bow to scoop-a, in the train goopa”, the moment you post up at the spot, suited down and chromed toasters hot.
How about The G’s acronym for R.E.A.L.? Glad you asked.
G Manifesto REAL stands for:
R = Rooftop Bar Game; Rolling with Models, Fly Suicide Girls or High Society Girls; Rolling thick bankrolls; Rolling Dutch (one-handed); Rolling on 20’s; Rolling over the competition (on my 20’s, while single handedly rolling Dutch in a car full of Fly Girls…)
“Battle me, mathematically, I’m givin your wisdom a cavity
Rapidly flowin, controllin the time
