Alpha you have to be in both, the difference striving in how much control of the girl you decide to take. In STR, you just look for overtaking her physically, on LTR, you want to own her physically, mentally, emotionally, socially...depending on how far you are into compromise. The more comprise you give to her, the more control she should gave up to you.Well short term game, you can always be less uptight about being "alpha" and look just to have fun. That is the ultimate goal. But in an LTR, you have to look to be the leader and rock in the relationship. You set ground rules, boundries, etc.
If you gotta put up with crap in a long term relationship, then clearly you've picked a bad chick. Being financially secure (aka having money) is generally a good idea with or without a woman. If the woman you've picked for long term relationship depends on your money, then again you've clearly picked a bad chick.Short term: whether you get her off, muscles, social status
Long term: money, putting up with her crap
I hate the word 'game'. It's the worst word for seducing woman. If you have to 'game' short term to have sex, you are pretending to be someone you are not to get something you want. If you have 'game' long term for a LTR, again you are pretending to be someone you are not.Basically game between the initial stages/fling/ONS etc vs an LTR, marriage etc
I find this to be the opposite. In order to get a ONS (at least around these parts), it seems to me that you gotta be on top of your game at all times. You need to be alpha. But it an LTR she might think that you aren't as interested in her so you gotta give a little. How much depends on the specific girl and the situation, but you still gotta give a bit or else she'll think that you don't care about her at all. This is just throughout my experience anyways.Well short term game, you can always be less uptight about being "alpha" and look just to have fun. That is the ultimate goal. But in an LTR, you have to look to be the leader and rock in the relationship. You set ground rules, boundries, etc.
Yep... that's it.Short-term: Pretend you're too good to lose.
Long-term: Genuinely be too good to lose.
