Day 1: Homework Assignment

I thought the last book report I'd ever write would be in 7th grade. Not so. Maybe it's standard protocol, or maybe he noticed the weird vibe I was giving, but during my orientation, my boss dug through the bowels of his desk and produced a tattered book. At first I thought it was a bible- it looked close enough, gold pages, divider ribbon, all that jazz. Turns out it wasn't the bible at all, but some guy's journey into the underground community of pickup artists (well, it doesn't seem very underground anymore). It was called "The Game", and it was my homework assignment.

My first impression was "Great! So there's someone else who's also accidentally fallen in with these people and lived to tell the tale." Then I learned that this man would later become one of the top two or three greatest pickup artists in the world. Alone again.

But not for long. You see, my fiancee and I have this thing where we go on "long distance dates". Yeah, it sounds dorky, and maybe it is, but when you are living 3,000 miles away from each other, there's not much else you can do. So every week, we go see a movie, or read a book alone but at the same time... so together, kind of. After learning where I work, we decided our date for this week. To read "The Game".

Just about to start tanning and begin chapter 1. Feeling kinda anxious.

My Incredible Story, Part I: The Beginning

Imagine a newly engaged, recent graduate from MIT that flies to Los Angeles to begin his top tier job working as a Sales Manager at a small, yet successful internet startup. Now imagine the surprise, incredulity, and utter disbelief when he learns that his new employees, co-workers, and even CEO, are all highly trained professional pickup artists. In fact, his entire firm consists of experienced seducers teaching average men how to meet, attract, and seduce dozens of women per month, hundreds per year, and in a lifetime, well, they lose count.

Welcome to my world. You can call me Alice. I'll be here for now, and if you dare, I'll take you with me to find out how deep the hole really goes.
