There's been a lot of anti-game hysteria here lately so i figured that it would be a great time to make a thread about the other side of the coin,
So guys, lets talk about how game could've helped you in the past, or has actually helped you get a girl.
Tell some stories of times when it wasn't just your LMS that got you the girl or wasn't more LMS that you needed.
Smh OP, smh.
You are 20, with work to do on yourself, living in NYC. With that huge amount of YOUTH and that huge city life........you decide that it's better on a Friday night to be on The Manosphere anonymously talking about "game", rather than out there taking up as many adventures you can for your age.
To answer your question from the perspective of a grown man, GAME is bullshyt if we are discussing it from the PUA's traditional definition of it, which is:
.....purely the use of secret, pseudo, conversational "tactics" that are supposed to push a woman's buttons. So if you say X, she gets horny or something. If you "elicit her values" she gets horny or something.
That's bullshyt.
What you DO need are basic and advanced social skills. You need to know how to carry on a conversation, make a chick laugh, be interesting during the conversation, make good eye contact, and through the conversation be able to "slideee in" some good kino.
I don't call this GAME, I call this having good social skills. Now others might be referring to this as GAME, but in my opinion GAME is more aligned with the cartoon shyt from the PUA handbooks.
In addition, if you do not have your looks up to a particular standard, many chicks won't let you in the door to even display your social skills. What I have always preached is to fix your looks, finances, and personality/social skills.....that would make you ATTRACTIVE.......then you go out and meet 20 women, get 12 numbers, get 6 dates, fvck 3 of them, and either continuing fvcking the 3 or get into a relationship with 1.
That's it. There's nothing else to this. For short term dating with women, that market is BOOMING. If you fix yourself to where you are ATTRACTIVE, you can rotate a number of chicks if you want. Or, you can do the long term aspects, but note, the long term dating market is in a DEPRESSION right now due to various issues (including fvcked up Family Court laws) that are making long term relationships not worthwhile.
That's it. There's nothing else to this. Now log off and go out there dude.
