Now, I generally have two skepticisms about Phone/Text Game or any “material” for it…

1. As with most things in game… I subscribe to the idea that, “What is simplest is best,” and with phone/text game, what is simplest shouldn’t take up more than maybe 10-20 pages at most. In fact, I only spent a measly 24 pages on it in my first book.

2. The fact that most follow up game should be a reflection of your ACTUAL game, or I guess, an extension of the game you ran on her when you met her. So, again, as with most things in pick up, I don’t know if there’s a “one-size-fits-all” model to it that any guy can apply.

Well, I have to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the book. It’s actually pretty damn comprehensive. It covers the basics that everyone needs to know, like time-bridging, preventing flakes, building basic attraction through texts, when to call/text, etc.

But it also does a great job of explaining the CONCEPTS behind everything. And as all you guys should know by now, I’m a huge fan of explaining the principles, rather than just tossing out hundreds of pages of routines.

In particular, they do a great job of explaining the idea of “investment,” and how to follow up game really comes down to managing how invested she is in the interaction. If she has a low level of investment, then you need to raise it through gaming her more. If she has a high level of investment, then you need to arrange to meet up with her ASAP.

Most people gloss over this concept and how to recognize it, when I actually think it’s probably the SINGLE KEY to all of follow up game. In fact, I spend a lot of time talking about it in my Conversation Demolitions as well, but I don’t think I ever explained as succinctly or as well as Braddock did here.

Braddock also did a solid job of providing some example texts conversations from his own life to illustrate the points.

So anyway, it’s a good book. I think if follow up game is your one major sticking point, then it’s probably a good investment as it’s extremely thorough. If it’s not your major sticking point or you’re already getting solid results, then it’s probably not necessary, but could probably point out a few blind spots or things your missing.

Overall: Solid B+
