Crowd Wisdom and Minimal Game

Collecting user data seems to be all the rage among corporations. Facebook is built around this idea, Google exploits search phrases for advertising, and Amazon has no reservation recording your reading habits. There is a rather creepy feature on Amazon.com called "Popular Highlights." They collect passages users of the Kindle highlight in their books, and if particular phrases are selected by a few customers, they publish them on the respective product page. You could thus say that Amazon is looking over your shoulder as you read.

In the case of Minimal Game, the following is a collection of phrases people found most noteworthy. If you have read Minimal Game, then you'll probably nod approvingly as you go through the list, and if you haven't bought it yet, then maybe you want to check it out afterwards!

One of the keys to success in seduction is to talk to strangers as if you know them already.

Only in a sexual relationship is it possible to really get to know someone, because you not only share intimacy, you are being intimate with each other and are not afraid anymore to really open up to the other person.

Your level of success with women is determined by how attractive your life is.

If you just appear to be somewhat secure of yourself, chances are that they will quickly look up to you.

Do not introduce or excuse yourself, but instead say something like, “That's a really nice color.” Full stop.

A guy who makes strong eye contact, stands close to the girl, and possibly even casually touches her, exudes sexuality.

What you should create when interacting with girls is what I call the lover's vibe. Treat her as if the two of you have had sex already. You may indeed only have spoken to her for about fifteen minutes, but if you stop making a difference in how you treat a girl you have already had sex with and a girl you want to have sex with, your life will change drastically.

The more time you spend talking to a woman without being sexual, the harder it will be to finally get sexual with her.

If you don't get anywhere with a particular kind of girl, you have two options:
Focus on different women
Change yourself

Seduction isn’t making someone do what they don’t want to do. Seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already.
