Okay, so as we all know Neil Strauss (AKA Styles) wrote a book, called the game. the idea is simple; to document, and learn the ways of the pick up artist community (Or the PUA's). I have not seen this MOvie, but i am wondering if theres a connection.
shareNo not really. Robert Downey Jrs style is just being charismatic, outgoing and using compliments.

I see, you read the book ...
shareI lost respect for Style when he didn't take it any futher with Britney Spears, I would've. The earlier poster is right, this isn't the film that is referenced in the book, in fact there are many films by the eighties loosely based around self styled PUAs.
shareHey...If you like bald women, that's your choice, buddy!
sharethere is absolutely no connection between the two.
in this thread someone suggested that Neil Strauss mentions a movie based on someone. That movie is not this one, but Magnolia, and supposively Tom Cruise's character is based on the pick up artist named Ross Jeffries, who wrote a 1992 book on how to pick up women.

Wrong. He mentions both movies. Magnolia and this one.
I quote: "Sure, there'd always been a stable of men giving pickup advice, like Eric Weber, whose book How to Pick Up Girls helped start the trend that culminated in the movie The pick-Up Artist with Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey Jr."
Neil stratuss is gay and an idiot. Who cares how he got that stupid idea. Im sure he stole it from multiple films.
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light

Neil Strauss is a short bald guy with a whiny voice and a stutter. He's not a pickup artist he's just a profiteer who made up everything in his book.
