A lair is a mens social club devoted to the study of courtship initiation and development as it is taught in the seduction community and elsewhere.
Lairs began as study groups centered around Ross Jeffries's products in the early '90s. They gained notoriety and shifted focus after the release of The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss. Today, almost all lairs are non-doctrinal, according to their own self-descriptions.
Hundreds of lairs meet globally, with the greatest concentration within the United States. Almost all lairs are named for the city in which they meet.
A "lair" involves an online forum and hosted group meetings. Typically, lairs meet once-monthly and communicate primarily through the online forum. Some lairs meet more often, either weekly, or, rarely, more than once-weekly. These lairs may place less emphasis on their online forums. However, the online forum must exist in order for the lair to be considered as such.
There are three types of lairs. The first, and most prevalent, is a not-for-profit lair. For-profit lairs are ineligible for inclusion on either of the two major lair lists. The second is a for-profit lair, frequently named for the lair's founding member. The third is a not-for-profit lair hosted by a for-profit organisation. For instance, Real Social Dynamics hosts an online non-regional forum, but also occasionally hosts local discussion meetings through local affiliates.
Lairs are often places that seduction gurus will visit to promote their products and services by speaking and advising the group as is mentioned by Neil Strauss in The Game.
