I agree.
It's not so much what *I* equate 'game' with, but more what the community in general does.
There's still many coaches saying that you shouldn't ever really get rejected, and that if you did, it's because you didn't employ 'game', and that you were just playing the numbers game (saying hi, telling her she's cute, and asking for her number). They'd say if only you used the correct NLP patterns, or the right negs and pushpull lines on the open etc etc (depending on which 'expert' you listen too), then you'd have gotten her, even if you are 65 and bald and fat and short, and she's 18 and a 10/10 lol
But yes, I agree with you. I feel like 'game' is largely something that only people who haven't been properly socialised need to 'learn'. It's mostly just basic social skills combined with having the balls to make a move. Everyone pats themselves on the back for their 'game' when they pull, without realising they pulled her in spite of it and not because of it. I believe in identical bodies we'd all have very similar results indeed
I don't write FR's anymore, but I pulled a fairly hot 19 year old on Saturday and certainly didn't do anything complicated at all in terms of 'game'. In fact, I was a pretty drunk and probably displayed a lack of game, especially considering she was sober! but it didn't matter. She was just attracted to me (not that i'm especially good looking at all, but not every girl as typical tastes I guess) and so all I had to do was not pi$$ my pants lol. And like most of us, i've also been rejected before when i've been on fire and oozing confidence and spitting good game etc. She just didn't care lol
