Overview

Generating over a billion dollars a year, the pickup industry is shocking, secretive and—to put it politely—scummy. Built upon myths and manipulation, expensive workshops and training videos push an agenda that women are biologically attracted to alpha males. If men can learn techniques to overcome their shyness and become socially dominant, they'll be 21st-century Casanovas. At least, that's what the brochure says. Ross Jeffries's 1992 self-published book How to Get the Women You Desire into Bed inspired a generation of macho men to push their techniques with aggressive online marketing. With insider access to the movement's founders and current leaders, this riveting exposé dismantles the "date and mate" methods hustled by modern snake-oil salesmen. From chat rooms to conference halls, these self-help-styled seminars are poised to take advantage of anyone desperate enough to fall for their dangerous promises.

    I won't lie to you. I had a whole paragraph in here with an opinion on the characters in this documentary and the world that surrounds them. Then I remembered that it's not my job to make a statement on the content, it's my job to encourage you to watch this film. The documentary is more than strong enough to convince you of the rest. Please, please go support these filmmakers, spread the word of this film, and hopefully it can change the world - even if it's just a little. - Lily Meek Read Lily's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-pickup-game-a-confronting...
