Summary:The article characterizes acts of masculine seduction at a coaching school in Buenos Aires in 2019 (March-December) that teaches an approach to heterosexual dating based on bestseller The Game. Penetrating the secret society of pickup artist (2006) and The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed (2007), both of which have had an impact on the “seduction community”.
