It’s super interesting. Also found myself trying to match people I know with different characteristics.
It’s also interesting seeing how seduction is part of our everyday lives

Didn't like the tone, the narrative voice, lost interest very early on. Decided it wasn't worth my time, which is a shame because I have heard talks by Robert Greene and I thought his writing would follow suit.
“Many of us today imagine that sexual freedom has progressed in recent years—that everything has changed, for better or worse. This is mostly an illusion; a reading of history reveals periods of licentiousness, far in excess of what we are currently experiencing. Gender roles are certainly changing, but they have changed before. Society is in a state of constant flux, but there is something that does not change: the vast majority of people conform to whatever is normal for the time. They play the role allotted to them. Conformity is a constant, because humans are social creatures, who are always imitating one another. At certain points in history, it may be fashionable to be different and rebellious, but if a lot of people are playing that role, there is nothing different or rebellious about it. We should never complain about most people’s slavish conformity, however, for it offers untold possibilities of power and seduction to those who are up for a few risks.”
It wasn’t good to me and not very engaging at all. It was like pulling teeth to listen to it, it’s a DNF for me.
