Are you able to game a women when a situation just drops out of the sky? Or do you only game when you've planned ahead for it, when you know you're going to a bar or club and you know you're going to have some drinks and flirt and get in the mode? I notice that some guys, the naturals in particular who have never studied PUA, it's just game on 24/7. They don't talk to any woman casually. Every girl they talk to it sounds like their flirting with her. The waitress, the girl ringing up the groceries, it doesn't matter. It's just game on for them nonstop. Then there are guys like me who are not naturals and who don't naturally go out of their way to talk to others and pretty much mind their business most the time. It takes a conscious effort to get "in the mode" and feel that light-heartedness and spontaneity that leads to ease of words and flirting.

I found out something very important about myself today. I am not prepared. I'm just not. I've been studying PUA and game for awhile now and I don't feel like I'm seeing much improvement. Today, I was mountain biking. I rode my bike up a big hill along Muhalland Drive here in Los Angeles where I could get a view overlooking the city. I was exhausted, sweaty and it was a nice clear day out. I sat my bike against the wood fence and sat on it. I was just having a very calm, zen-like moment enjoying the clear view of the mountains, thinking about life and purpose and all this stuff. At this spot, cars often park for a moment and people get out to look at the view. These two girls park, in their early 20s. They go to check out the view and then ask me to take their picture. One was moderate cute blonde, definitely bangable. The second was a smokin brunette with a dress and a nice body. I took their pictures. Then made some friendly(actually too damn friendly) chit chat with them for about 10 minutes. They were from out of town and visiting L.A. and will be here till Sunday. We talked about where they were from, what they were doing here, what they've done in town, how much they like California, blah blah. And before I knew it, they said "we have to go...bye" and they were gone forever.

I don't know what the f*ck was wrong with me. They were both attractive, yet I didn't even try to hit on them. It's like my brain was completely in OFF mode. If this had happened in a club, I'd have had a different attitude. But I I'd been mountain biking for an hour and the last thing in the world I was expecting was to meet some cute girls just out of the blue. It was only when they took off that I started thinking, "whoa, WTF just happened here, why didn't I say this, when they said that? Why didn't I invite them out to a bar?? Why didn't I at least get an email???" That was one frustrating ride back down the hill. I was absolutely astounded with myself and lack of preparation. All this PUA sh*t I've studied, all this time reading sosuave and it was for naught. It would be like having studied martial arts for 5 years, then while walking, out of nowhere, some dude comes and sucker punches you and knocks you out before you even know WTF is going on. Not a perfect analogy but you get my drift.

I can't let something like this happen again. I need to develop a game personality that's always ON. It's usually off for me and I talk to most women I don't know just as people and not as potential sex/romantic interests. Only when I'm in an environment where that's expected, like a bar or club do I feel that mode switched on. This is killing it for me. Any thoughts?

Hindsight is always 20/20.

I have this problem even when I have "game mode: on". I just don't have enough experience chatting girls up, and I always think of the greatest responses AFTER the fact. This is a great thread and hope to read some of the advice you get so I can learn from it.

Depends on how drunk or hung over I am. When I'm just out and about I'm always capable of gaming. I think it's mostly because I don't actively think about it anymore. I'm just an upbeat guy who likes meeting people and subconsciously maneuvers my way through the social scene with no stress. There is no challenge, I just am.

However, during long nights of partying with high amounts of alcohol, I tend to lose my swagger. Communication becomes an issue and that's kind of the focal point of my abilities. I don't know what I look like at that point but I know it isn't pretty. My success plummets like a rock at that point. The same goes with the day after. When I go out with a hang over and a chick looks at me the first thing that pops into my mind is usally something along the lines of "What are YOU lookin at?!" Since typically I say what's on my mind, I try to keep quiet as most hostile first impressions don't lead to anything good.

Ideally, you want the "game" to become a part of your natural personality. Rather than robotically switching it on and off, you should make it a part of who you are. To get better at anything, you need tons of practice. And you might as well practice whenever you have the opportunity.

I'm not going to lie and act like I'm an uber pimp or something. I miss opportunities all the time, and I know it. Sometimes I make excuses for myself, like if I'm just running errands and not dressed as well as I could be, I tend to avoid social situations. It's a bad habit I need to get out of. I don't feel right if I'm not cleaned up right, my mind just isn't in the right place and I'm not on top of my game as well as I should be. I have been known to pull numbers when a random opportunity presents itself, but I can't say I'm on top of my game 24/7. I wish it was that way.

That's how I felt. I was just standing there with a biker helmet and gear on, gloves, dripping with sweat and probably stinking. The last thing in the world I was expecting was for two nicely dressed girls wearing sexy clothes to just drop in from nowhere. That never has happened before. I was so unprepared it was ridiculous. A dude on top of his **** would've got the digits, invited them out and show them around town, and from there hooking up with one(or even both if they're freaky) would've been a cakewalk. If only I could rewind that scenario and do it over again! Cut, take two!

speakeasy, dude...dont get too woried, you've already overcome to HARDEST part, realising you can integrate game into your personality 24/7- most guys never get this far so you are already ahead of the pack....!

actually one of the things "naturals" dont do is get into understanding the dynamics of game/RL's - as they are good enougth they just do it, whilst we eventually learn to "just do it" AND we also learn about the dynamics behind it.(hope this makes sense)

Pook once said something like, this Don Juan sh!t works best when you don't think about it too much.

Don't turn yourself into some kind of Gaminator with a programmed mission to game every hot girl in sight. That's a very stressful way to live.

This! And I know for a fact that Naturals don't pick up every single chick. They pick up chicks planing ahead that they want her. Naturals are just like you and me without the fear of embarrassment, they are still just humans.
