I'd rather be myself rather than applying game. From experience, game works wonders when you are dealing with women that have options. We 'have to' apply game because of the hypergamous nature of women.
Women who have options aren't worth your time, you are competing against the unknown. Game is just an easy fix to an unfortunate battle. When you know a woman has options, let go. Maybe they will come, maybe they will go. You don't know what her options can provide. Rather next a girl than to compete. It's not worth your time.
Having said that, when you go around daying, you find one that doesn't have those options. Hypergamy is never in play. That's the one you should pursue
