The Game: Chick Crack

I've been fascinated by this book called "The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists." Apparently there's dozens of underground groups that claim to have the best theories and techniques for picking up women -- aimed mainly for guys who have trouble doing so. So this writer decided to infiltrate several of the societies, study their tricks and write a book about it.

I literally at times can't put this book down because of the many truisms it entails, and I've turned several of my female friends on to it as well. The players have a theory that no matter what city you're in, or what situation you find yourself in, if there's a group of women present and you follow certain techniques and guidelines, you can exponentially increase your odds of scoring, regardless of your looks or social status. This morning as I was reading the book, I had another "aha" moment.

The PUAs (pickup artists) have a term called chick crack. Chick crack is any psychological or spiritual subject that appeals to most women but does not interest most men, such as astrology, tarot cards and personality tests. I have noticed over the past few years that the vast majority of women I meet seem to have an acute interest in zodiac signs, even if they don't know what they're talking about. "You're a Scorpio? Oh, my!" they'll say with mock horror. When pressed for more information, usually you'll learn that she doesn't really understand the subject on any kind of analytical level at all (except that Scorpios are typically freaks. No comment). But irregardless of her knowledge base, the subject still appeals to her. So guys, think of the advantage you'll have if you're able to turn that around, and give her the astrological detail that she seeks? Ain't nothin' but chick crack y'all...
