Tuesday night at a Barnes & Noble in Chelsea, nearly 200 members of the "seduction community" turned out to hear bald-headed The Game author and scoring artist (he goes by "Style" in the field) Neil Strauss answer one question: What's the best way to bang some hotties?

Strauss was on hand to promote his new latest tome, a follow-up to The Game titled The Rules of the Game. Rules is actually a two book package: The first book teaches the reader how to master the Game in 30 days. The second chronicles the sexual exploits of self-avowed Game master Strauss. He read for the crowd a slightly risqué-for-B&N excerpt of book two; it seems this one time, Style was sucking on sexagenarian titty, only to discover that the object of his seduction was sporting a colostomy bag! How offensively hilarious!

A lingering scent of Drakkar Noir cried out for Radar to take a closer look. Luckily, we were packing our hulking Nikon D200 phallus to document it all!

Strauss surveyed the crowd on further important matters, like whether they thought it was a good idea to conserve energy and NOT masturbate before a big date (the majority answered that you shouldn't!), and fielded audience questions re: the complicated workings of the female mind and life in general. The PUA (translation: Pick-Up Artist) advised that ZOUT is great for getting out semen stains, loud talkers should buy a VU meter to figure out a comfy chatting volume, and that you should be honest with chicks that seem to want emotional involvement.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Strauss's comely lady du jour, Jackie, and her twin sister, Casey. Jackie said she was a psychology student, though she doesn't look like any psychology student we've ever met. She also said Neil never used the Game on her. We are unsure which claim is more credible.

YOU GO, GIRLS Twins Jackie (with the blonder hair) and Casey
Jackie says Strauss isn't the first public figure she's dated. Casey used to date Strauss' seduction mentor, Mystery

TARGET AUDIENCE "Mark"*, 25, consultant
Thoughts on The Game?
"I'm a huge fan. It really works. It works in getting the type of girls I want and maximizing the fun."

What type of girl is that?
"Not emotionally committed."

(Note: This is the guy who asked Strauss in the audience Q&A, "How do you keep girls interested and involved without them getting emotionally involved?")

*Has changed his name because he's that dude

FEAR AND SELF-LOATHING Rob, 28, doctor
Effects of The Game on your life?
"I was just telling my girlfriend, I feel like the book changed my life and it allowed me to meet the girl I'm gonna marry." (He showed us a picture of her on his iPhone. She's a cutie. Nice cleavage.)

What was one of the biggest things you got from the book?
"Being able to understand why chicks love assholes."

DOUBLE-TEAMING Irina, 25, financial analyst, and Carlos, 25, media buyer. Dating for 3 months

What brings you two out tonight?
Carlos: "She's reading the book now. She brings it up every once in awhile. 'Oh, you did this, you did that.'"

What techniques did he use on you?
Irina: "Opening the set, he did an open air to the group." (translation: he approached her group of friends at a bar, started a conversation)

EASY DOES HER Neil, 25, game developer, with friend Carlos

Neil successfully hooked up with one of Carlos's friends using techniques from The Game

What techniques did you use?
"Drink, buying, throwing her a lot of negs—giving back-handed compliments. I was kind of ignoring her, as if she didn't matter."

BOYS II MEN Jason, 19, student
What did The Game do for you?
"It opened up my mind to a whole new world of female interaction. I am indebted to Neil Strauss and The Game."

Do you get a laid a lot more now?
Yeah, I was an AFC before. (AFC=Average Frustrated Chump)

Were you a virgin before you read the book?
Yes.

COM-POSEUR Eugene, 23, music student (and cutest guy in attendance)
Thoughts on the crowd at the event?
"It's strange coming to this place. It makes you want to crawl into a hole and die."

How did The Game help?
"I'm not bad at talking to girls. It just gives you something to start with. My last girlfriend was two years ago. The book just helped me to understand that I was doing Oneitis." (Strauss defines Oneitis as a disease a man gets when he's only attracted to one girl.)
