You May Be Suspect - A Game inside a Book

---

So he entered rehab for three months. Here his problems really began.

By opening up his psyche to trained therapists for the first time, Strauss learned he had quite an assortment of mental and emotional conditions. In short order, he was diagnosed with anxiety syndrome, depressive disorder, two forms of sexual disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Out of rehab, still in some degree of turmoil, Strauss got back together with Ingrid, but managed just a fortnight together before splitting again.

She started seeing other people. Indeed, he was not. There were chaotic flings with a Vegas showgirl, with a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and with a woman called Sage with whom he had an open relationship before she left him for two Mexicans. Strauss travelled to Europe to attend sex parties, and later moved to live in a free love commune in California.

There was a lot of wallowing, Strauss says, not all of which made it into the pages of The Truth. You suspect journalistic motivation in the sex-party trip and his enrolment in the commune Strauss was writing as he went. But he sounds honest when he tells me it was the act of finishing chapters, and reading them over, that pushed on his recovery. He leads us on to his balcony, where we sit on weatherproofed sofas.

His wife stays indoors, in the cool, looking after their son. Throughout my visit, I catch only glimpses of her. She has requested not to be interviewed for this article, a reluctance I can well understand. His wife is Ingrid, the much-messed-about girlfriend who first insisted he seek treatment. After a whole load of therapy and self-examination, Strauss explains, they met at a wedding.

Their son was born this spring. That life would be boring. He has the bemused, raw-red eyes of the parent of a six-month-old.

His beard shows grey. He looks happy and absolutely exhausted. Therapy, marriage, fatherhood were not the only things that prompted Strauss to change his thinking. Shortly after he reunited with Ingrid, he met a woman in a bar who knew of his books and seemed to want to sleep with him. She sarged him, basically — kneeling down and miming giving him a blowjob.

Embarrassing in the moment, unpleasant when he had to tell her no.

They just might like you enough to go along with it. A technique to end up making out? It was more about being terrified of rejection, and getting over that.

The techniques got him there. Lost on a wider world, too. But then it became a part of the culture. And it became a reason for women to be afraid of guys. Strauss is trying to do something about this. Even a decade later, he has found he still has Game readers who look to him expectantly. They follow him on social media, subscribe to his mailing list. Then I did a book about, like, how I learned not to be lonely and get out of friend-zone with girls. If you are a seller for this product, would you like to suggest updates through seller support?
