Can you apply anything you've learned about game to other social interactions?

As an example:

I sometime act indifferent with my mates if I find them not engaging with conversation with me and it usually changes their attitude. I also used it with my ex- girlfriends children. One of them is mildly autistic and so not overly responsive and so I started to give her less attention and focus more on her sister and all of a sudden she really wants to talk to me. I'm also aware of my frame at work a lot more. I think game can teach you more about socialising than just how to get some fertile soil for your seed. It helps me create better relationships at work and outside of work with everyone and anyone.

yes, it does. I have a slide phone. Not that I can't afford any phone on the market that isn't studded in diamonds, but it makes CALLS, which is all I want it to do. A guy I know commented on it being old style, I told him "you should see the one at home, it still has the dial" It took him 10 seconds to say "you do not" and grin

Completely agree. I use it with friends and family. Had a little spat with my mom a few months ago where she would come to my house and b!tch the whole time she was over about everything I did or didn't do. One time I texted her, after several previous convos, and told her she was no longer welcome at my house. And I didn't talk to her for a week, I blew her off.. At first she thought I was kidding. Until one time she was going to come over. I said no you're not welcome here I was not joking... She called me up practically crying and begging me to let her come over. I didn't that time but later eventually did. And guess what? No more byyyytching... problem solved.
