A few things I learned from The Game

Reading The Game has been as illuminating as it was for everybody else, and like many I decided to integrate at least a few of the learnings from the book into my life. These were specifically things that Style did to improve his personal attractiveness and appeal:

• Alexander Technique: I took this for about two months, and I feel it helped me a lot with my posture and body language issues. I've always had really really awful posture and after paying attention to myself over a few weeks, I noticed that I had a very weak and beta body language, which was clearly hurting the way I was being perceived. While the posture will take a long time to rewire until it is well ingrained in my mind, the body language part is something I've been more successful with and something I hope will fixed forever. David Wygant's approach is what I've been looking for: When you walk into a room, walk in tall, dominant, like you own the place. Smile, say hi to everybody, be comfortable, be fun and easy going.
• Salsa: Did this for about two months as well. While I didn't particularly enjoy the activity as there was too much to learn in too little time, it definitely gave me confidence and hopefully more grace to my movements.
• Lasik: No more glasses, I don't need any help with looking any more nerdy that I need to. Great decision in my opinion.
• Style: Brushed up on male fashion by reading a couple of books, being a regular visitor of the reddit Male Fashion Advice section and by watching tons of Aaron Marino's videos on youtube. I definitely have a much better understanding of what fits well and how to better present myself. Now if only I could..
• Lose a couple of pounds. Went from 180lbs in early 2009 to about 160 right now, which is a big change. I'm definitely a lean guy at this point, and likely once I reach 150 or about 8-10% fat I'll go into bulking mode again to put on some meat.
• New hairstyle. Still not sure about how this whole emo Trent Reznor this is working for me, but it's a change, and if I don't like it long term, it's gonna turn into something else. Might even dye my hair black, we'll see.
• More facial care. Shaved the nasty beard-like thing, paying a lot more attention to those stray hairs, I think I look much sharper.

I believe this is pretty much all for now. It's good progress, but I wonder if this is all fast enough. Certainly doesn't seem quick enough to me.
