It's that time : What's going on with your game?

[Warrior74]

Enough talk about "feminism" and related MRA issues. What's going on in your game right now? How are things playing out for you? What are you succeses and what are you shortcomings in your game?

Me. I spent a year celibate whilst working on my business. Things haven't gone well so I took a day job., I broke the streak with a chic I met whilst out playing pool. She opened me, told me I was cute. We played pool and I showed her no mercy. Had a few shots since it was her birthday and took her home. Straight up luck and strong choosing. No game required. Unfortunately she was a little clingy and cray cray. She's been calling me ever since. I had to break the news that was just a one time thing and I enjoyed it, but she can't let it go. It's semi stalkerville as she lives in my neighborhood.

Now I'm focused on getting back on my feet financially and focusing on my hobbies(photography, filmmaking) and working on my biz, so my 'game' is pretty much at a stand still. Survival is the name of my game right now. But if I luck up on some azz, then cool. If not, I can live without it.

So what's up in your game?

 

[backbreaker]

about 3 weeks ago i came up with an extremely good idea for a new site and i while i wont' get around to it for at least 6 months i have been working on the business plan/wire frames for that and been deep into that.


family is coming out here for thanksgiving. dad and i will go to the track lookin forward to that.

but my life is quite stable my wife isn't crazy my son isn't too bad business is good. i am trying to help others out. i understand that i have a skill set that can help others and i want to do that.

 

[wait_out]

I am more stable, cool, calm, collected than ever in my life; women are integrated as part of the world I live in, not an abstract goal that I am chasing. I have a new (nice) car, a little house to myself I'm renting, but I'm not really fulfilled in my job and understimulated -- it's hard to give up the stability I have and I can't decide if that is good or bad.

I have a moderately active dating and social life but I'm craving more intensity in both. I am hacking the 9-5 with a fair amount of success -- but where I really want to be is on a plane headed to an exotic surf break somewhere. I have a good life.. I just don't know if it's the good life that I'm looking for.

Despite that, I feel I've grown a lot in the past year. I am at a point where I could really spread my wings. It's just difficult to step off the ledge again once you start getting used to being comfortable.

I'm also dating a virgin (well not anymore... lol) which could be touchy at some point.

 

[zekko]

I'm a good catch, so the girlfriend sticks with me. Ho-hum. I like having a steady though, so life is good.

My focus is more on meeting my financial and life goals, moving forward, keeping the house in order and such. I haven't really been sweating the females, but I seem to be getting a better reaction than ever from them, so I can't complain.

 

[Wilko]

You know, I was a bee's d!ck away from starting a similar thread myself - it was definitely time for something like this.

I broke a year-long "drought" two months ago, I had plenty of first dates in the mean time, but I wasn't at all attracted to those women (intellectually repulsed for the most part), so I held out for better (2011 had been filled with sexual experiences that really weren't any better than a good fap).

Current plate is very bright (writes on the side), funny (even by male standards), has virtually no a$$ to speak of and amazing E-cup breasts that love being covered in cvm! The best part though - very feminine, very submissive, and a fvcking great host. It's a weekends only deal. So the challenge now is to add at least one more plate of a similar quality - I really don't want to go backwards there.

Otherwise, I'm maintaining in terms of fitness/career/finance (fairly comfortable in all three areas) and refining my "anti-goals" - no marriage, no kids, no mortgage, and no travel. And, I think I've just about disavowed myself of the desire for more horsepower - probably had more sway over me than women at one stage!

Contrary to the common wisdom, I am pretty happy drifting/cruising through life with bugger all stress - I'm not interested in forcing my will on the rest of the world - seditious talk I realise!

So what's up in your game?

Sounds interesting, what sort of format/subject matter do you do film-wise?

I have no background myself, just curious.

 

[The Gambler]

Still happily married... Enjoying confident interaction with both females and males (it's surprising how fun this interaction can be when you don't have the pressure of trying to pick someone up). Lifting every other day and dressing nice. A few simple things to keep feelin' good mentally and physically!

 

[BeDJ]

Awesome topic and amazing responses. I haven't been this successful in the dating game in my life. Don't let the join date fool you, the information never sunk in until middle of this year. I evaluated my 4 year LTR (good things, bad things, red flags, etc) a few months ago, it was painful since I saw the untainted truth and the feminine imperative that I thought was the love of my life.

I'm on my way to that "kill the beta" diploma and have been getting much more female attention and male respect. It's very counter-intuitive that the moment you don't care about the outcome of female interactions, that's when women will suddenly give you more attention. Once you understand the rules of the game and the winning strategies, everything seems to be on auto, with little variations.

Fortune favors the bold.

I have no background myself, just curious.

I started out shooting landscapes and buildings. Common stuff. Getting into street photography. Photographing interesting people when I'm out and about.

Planning two short documentaries for next year. One on the local Dubstep/electronic Scene and another on a girl who restored a vintage motorcycle. Both of these are for a local film festival. Working on a horror script and a trailer with a buddy, he wants to try to shop it to hollywood.

 

[yuppaz]

Pretty content right now. Found a great girl. Stuningly beautiful, very sweet & feminine. Not at all trying with other women, basically I know I can have my pick whenever I want and I don't need to prove anything to myself anymore. Spending my time enjoying life, not stressing work too hard. Cutting in the gym with great results, playing music and just livin. Things are good, I'm blessed right now.

 

[Wilko]

Working on a horror script and a trailer with a buddy, he wants to try to shop it to hollywood.

Sweet, it can definitely be done - you heard about "John Dies at the End"? Self published by David Wong, picked up by Don Coscarelli (of Phantasm fame) it's already had a run at the festivals and should hit cinemas fairly soon.

Sigh, it's good stuff, just a shame that Wong has recently become a mewling little apologist for feminism at Cracked.com. Sorry, sorry, I know we swore we weren't going to do this!

 

[typical]

I've let myself slide and become all skinny/fat again. plates are starting to drop off left right and center.

Good news is I've finally finished my degree and can get a decent job now so I can start saving some money and investing again

That's why I like this guy a lot. He is sophisticated and unique.

As for me, most important thing is getting the PhD. It's been too long now, I have to get it over with. That causes some anxiety. Past summer, I broke up with a 19-year old, and hooked up with a much better intern 25 year old medical intern. I am in sort of a semi-LTR again. Somehow I tend to fall back on that LTR scheme. I guess I am a "nice guy" at heart.

I sometimes have new plates around me, game is really easy once you learn the basics, you don't need to do anything. Just like plain old fishing, you can't force it too much. You do your best and hope for the best I don't worry about women too much, although I admit I would be happy banging a new one every other week.

I don't have the skills, nor the time to achieve that yet. That's about it,

If you met me you might not think so. That stuff sounds impressive but it's millions of us starving mediocre artist/filmmakers wanna bes out there. It's just a hobby, I don't have that burning desire like I did when I was in my 20s when made too many stupid mistakes that closed off those dreams.

I wish I had a Ph.D to fall back on. That's an achievement.

 

[Epimanes]

Happily married .. wife cant get enough of me now that i am "pook like" and more of a man. My game has worked like a charm to get my wife VERY interested again.

Been spending time with my teenage daughter .. teaching her how to be a hunter (she loves to kill shyt) and put her into martial arts (not far from black belt) so she can kick the crap out of any guy that trys to play her. SO yeah .. im a proud dad. Soon my son will be old enough to hunt soon too and he is also looking forward to killing shyt. That and when he gets old enough I will teach him how to be emotionally stable .. and happy and most importantly how to be a man and how not to put up with womens shyt in a calm, and respectful manner.

Career Wise: Making more money at my new job then ever, however I always could use more....

Women Wise: I got 2 solid chicks I'm dealing with and I'm going on dates/hang outs with others. It's no big deal just trying to step my game up

Gym wise: I was doing 2 a days for a month until I got sick, now I'm taking it easy. I think I was going to hard

Basically my blog is a great way to keep track of what I'm doing these days

I'm also doing a boot-camp called "Farm League" inspired by BB

 

[sodbuster]

MEH, I have a few around wanting to date...or thinking they do. BUT, I still need to wrap up a couple deals [yea or nay] that have the potential to replace half the income from my office.... be nice not to have my back bent all the time to make a living.

 

[SteR]

Bloody hell, everything seems to be going so well for everyone!

Although I'm not fairing too badly, I'd hardly say things are going great. Personally I just seem to be spending my time slaving away at work, the gym and have my head neck-deep in books. It's very rare I come across women I'd class as worthy of dating and the few that I do are usually taken. Very slim pickings at the moment.. (although I do admit I am extremely picky)

It's all about being patient I suppose!

Glad to hear things are going well for others though

 

[backbreaker]

I’ve had some time to think bout this and the thing I’m working on, and I have to really give a shout to my wife millie for this as this is a lot of her working on me and my quirks, is trying new things. I am extremely creature of habit. I like going to the same places, I like watching the same ****, I like eating the same things. I favor comfort over exciting and that can get very mundane. If it’s watching a TV show that I normally would not watch, or going to a movie I would not other wise go to, or reading a book I otherwise would not have read.. it sounds very very trivial but to someone like me this is big stuff. You don’t understand, or most people don’t, just how routine I am. It’s good in business and my horse racing, it helps un clutter my mind so I can focus on what I consider to be important matters.. but like, I have seen V for Vendetta.. at least.. no exaggeration. 30 times. And while it’s a great movie.. it’s not 30 times great lol. I watch it because I know I will like it. That’s how I think. What’s the point of figuring out if you are going to like something when you can watch something you know you will like. Like there is a very specific Chinese takeout place I like, it’s the first one we went to when we moved her and that’s all we eat since. Last week wife sprung a new one on me BAM, new restaurant. This is a big deal to me. And I liked it.

Biggest argument we have gotten into all year, which wasn’t even a real argument which is a testament to how good of a marriage we have so far.. son wanted some taco bell, she asked me if I wanted some while I was out I said sure. Now, 99 out of 100 times, she knows what I want; the chicken Quasideia with a baja blast drink, and a soft taco with sour cream only. I’ve eaten that for pretty much the last.. 6 years. Sow hen I say I say I want taco bell I’m implying that this is what I want she knows this. Anyway, she brings me home the little Doritos taco bull**** thing.. I knew she was up to some bull**** because of the **** eatin grin she hd on her face. And I’m like WTF is this **** lol? I don’t’ a ****ing red taco I don’t even like hard tacos. Lol it’s ****ing red. Not only is it red, it has lettuce and cheese in it and I hate cheese that’s not melted. On anything… and I hate lettuce in general. And she was like look here buddy.. you’re gonna eat it and you’re gonna like it lol. I was like no I’m not lol. make me lol. What are you going to do if I don’t eat this red ****ing taco. She was like do you really want to find out lol? this went on for like 1 hour lol. taco cold as ****. And ev entually she sweetend the deal.. with what I am not at libert to say loll and I ate the entire taco. i hadn’t eatn lettuce in over a decade.

And I didn’t like it. But you know.. it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. She knew I would not like it, but in the end she was right.. to have fun, to find things you like, you have to be able to risk not having fun or not liking something. That’s something I’m starting to do more and more of.

Good thread.

I'm going through kind of a rough path these days. Still in a bit of a vacuum after the ending of a LTR. I'm slowly adapting the mindset that this was a blessing in disguise. I've hit a new low and have been given a chance to work on myself and becoming the man i want to be.

Financially I'm doing well though. I own my own apartment in the city centre. I have good friends and a good social circle. Beautiful familiy. I've started to work out twice a week and i'm starting to see results, which is great. So there really is a lot of positive things in my life.

My confidence is starting to come back bit by bit, but got a real knock after i got dumped. Went NC for 5 months now, which i'm proud of. Took her out of my life and moved on to a new path. I thought getting back in the dating game would be a hell of a lot easier than it is. lol. Dealing with a lot of rejection, flaking, false numbers and more rejection. I have trouble getting plates which makes me insecure about my game, looks and personality. I feel like i have information overload and that i need to structure my game and approaches. I'm definitely putting myself out there though. I'm also on a mission to cut back on my drinking, because that is my number one obstacle in my game. This is my current purpose.

I've been on some dates and ons's and laid four girls in the last 5 months so it's not all bad. However they don't have high interest in me. The positive is that the four girls has been of pretty decent quality and in the age range of 20 to 27. The negative is that they don't see me as high enough value too chase for some reason. This is what i'm currently trying to figure out, because on paper i'm a pretty great catch. I've also succeeded in getting some numbers, but i normally don't contact them again. So i guess i'm just as bad as the girls who are flaking on me When i get numbers, i look them up on facebook and if they are below par, i don't even bother even if i could get a lay from it. Trying to force myself to only date high quality girls (HB7+). This is something i did not do in my last single period, and it only made my confidence worse. Sleeping with girls of lower quality is not a good thing.

So yeah, working on my inner game. Reading books, trying to become outcome independant, trying to become indifferent to rejection, trying to have an abundance mentality and realise that i'm not in a hurry. I'm basically trying to develop the traits i want to have and eliminate the ones i don't.
