how to become a pick up artist

I read this article on CNN.com yesterday and found it very very interesting and amusing at the same time. For those who can't be stuffed to click the hyperlink, the article is about a review of the book called 'The Game' by Neil Strauss who writes about the things he has learnt about the pickup community and provides some 'useful' social skills. Towards the end of the article all I could think of was the quote from Napoleon Dynamite, 'girls only wanna have boyfriends who have great skills'. Honestly I don't know how much the author has to offer as I haven't read the book but would be interesting to see the results if any. Haha anyway read the article or even better get a hold of a copy of the book and let me know what you think! Jess recently wrote about whether chivalry was still alive and if it was still an important skill to have... made me think... after a successful pickup is chivalry still needed? lots of food for thought...
