Village Voice
So by now most of you have heard about the Village Voice scandal today. No?The cover story in this week's issue was all about PUAs--a subject Dolly and I are both obsessed with now, after reading The Game and running into quite a few PUAs when we've been out. Well it seems that when discussing one of our famous nights out, Dolly's blog was quoted (I'm mentioned too--as all of you know, she calls me "Polly" on the blog). Exciting right? Yeah, but it seemed strange to both of us. Why not just email her, to make sure the story they quoted was true? Why not email her to see if she had any other stories? It seemed a bit odd, but still, to have your blog in the Voice --what a coup!
Okay, well, it turns out, according to Gawker, Dolly wasn't the only source not contacted. It turns out whole portions of the story are MADE UP (both Dolly and I thought so -- we're the only girlies we know that are hip to the PUA tricks, and Sarah now, too, because she's hooked up with one, and has borrowed my copy of The Game).
To make matters worse, Dolly pitched a similar story directly to the editor of the VV about 6 weeks ago (yes, I've seen the email, I can attest to the truthfulness of this statement). What's going on over there?
But the good news? Dolly's blog is now getting a ton of attention--her hits per day have doubled. We've always joked and laughed about writing a female response to the game--it looks like with all this attention, Dolly's going to get her chance!!!! Go Dolly!

Beware the dark side of pick up...
Anyways, looks like both the writer and editor got canned.
All's well that ends well.

I love that Dolly's getting her cred...she's soooo ten steps ahead of those oafs over at the Voice...
Word playboy. I think its a shame that the editor stooped low like that.

Let's all form a Dolly fanclub...
All this talk about PUA's, I almost picked up a copy of the book this weekend. Decided that $30 was too much of an investment into something I'm sure would be pissing me off.
Besides, Dolly and Kir are giving enough highlights of the book, I feel like I'm familiar with all the good parts.
$30? The Game goes for about 15 bucks the last time i checked :)
$17 on Amazon.
Yeah, I read it today in the Voice and almost bought the book.
What Dolly does, why is she steps ahead?
I have a little bit of good news myself, just wondering first, has anyone tried to find any decent single sites out there? I have been looking for activities that don’t cost an arm and a leg? I have been searching the web and I’ve been on several sites looking for local events. The only one I was able to find is http://www.singlesinmotion.com does anyone know of any other?
I would like to say best of luck to dolly.How to get a girlfriend
I think pick up artist stuff has done really well over the years there is a real drop in interest at the moment though.
