Partially inspired by Roosh's RSD post, I had a little epiphany about Tyler's portrayal in The Game.
Tyler loved taking women from other men more than he like women themselves. He (literally) created AMOGing and practiced it with casual brutality. He loved coming at the big football/hockey players that had bullied him in younger years, coming at them in a direction they didnt even understand, undercutting them and taking their women.
He does this to Neil Strauss, and Neil AMOGS him right back, with the worst AMOG of all - the Writer's Amog. Neil's negative portrayal of him in The Game has probably taken him years to recover from, and cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in his business enterprise. He overcame it because he's a brilliant and strongwilled person, but let's not pretend it didn't hurt - Most people's first exposure to him is pretty damning.
Pretty funny when you think of it.
