the rules of the game

chanced upon this book at kinokuniya today: the rules of the game by neil strauss.

is love really just a game? a part of me just refuses to believe it. shouldn't love be smthg pure and sincere? yet another part of me feels that perhaps it is truly a game after all - one where the stakes are pretty high (having lost $ is still quite bearable as opposed to a shattered heart). interesting to note though that there are cases i've seen where it seems to be working when they treat it as a game instead.

well, i don't know. but nonetheless, i've bought the book. guess it doesn't hurt to know how the guys play this game. might come in handy in the future.
