''applied charisma'' was a definition I heard a long time back

But over the years i've kind of cared less and less about 'game' though and decided it's really somewhat irrelevant (and I studied and tested everything! from mystery to DiCarlo to yareally to NLP and everything in between lol!)

By that I mean, if a girl is attracted to you, the amount of 'game' you need to get her in bed is more or less 'don't be a COMPLETE autist'. It's honestly quite hard to screw it up with a girl is attracted to you as long as you are even remotely normal.

And if you are not her type and she's not attracted to you (you're way too old and fat and bald for her) then all of the 'game' in the world simply won't cut any ice at all. We've seen this proven so many times over the years with infields from the apparent best there is at 'game'.

In practical terms it's essentially flirting, dealing with small obstacles, having the balls to make a move etc. It's something to help you be more efficient at banging the girls who like you.

it's not, and has never been, what PUA marketing wants you to think it is. E.g techniques and verbals to brainwash/force attraction in any girl and making her want to bang you lol.

Game is understanding social dynamics and the ability to identify social cues, and then use that knowledge to apply in social interactions.
The seduction game only applies to Males. Female game is a total myth.
 

If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.

I define 'game' as the ability to successfully approach, seduce, date or hook up with women.

I'm not into PUA style indirect game, though. I am all about the direct approach.

Another buzzword which has performed a rather remarkable feat: Creating more confusion among the general public than corporate claptrap like "change agent" and "synergy" ever did

If this were true, every gal who arrives in Hollywood each year from Bootlick, USA would become a sex symbol. The 2% who achieve It Girl status are the ones who put in the effort

Game is the ability to :
-trigger responses from women
- when the trigger set in, the ability to actually act upon it . So you might LOOK like yiugit game but once you open your mouth you might show you DON'T got game
- the ability to adjust accordingly to the situation. E.g two or more women might need to be "played " at once.

It's about having that total package. Even though there are levels to it. Sometimes you just need looks game and you can have a air matras on the ground and a woman still wants to bang you. Other times you gonna need clean sheets and clean towels in order to impress a woman.
So game is also depending on whose your "opponent ".

A man with NO GAME might as well be "not ugly" but lacking social skills to execute any form of game. It's about positioning yourself, maintaining the spark at will. .

Game is such a complicated matter that most men simply deny It's existence. It's untouchable for those who can't see it, while it's there in abundance for the man who gets it.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

Eloquently said.

It ultimately boils down to experience. There's no quick fix; you can read everything you need to know, but you have to develop a callous over your heart before you are ready to deal with women honestly.

The sad thing is it's taken me 20 years to truly not give a fvck. Wisdom is wasted on the old

Women can be seen as 8-year-old girls in adult bodies, with intense and contradictory emotional behaviors.
Men, to be successful in relationships, adopt "the game," which these "adult children" are drawn to like bees to honey.

However, this creates internal dissonance in genuine men who are validated from within, since men must hide their true feelings to avoid failure.
What I have noticed is that those who have mastered "the game" do so because they have control over their environment and the people around them.
They focus on the outside and tend to manipulate others to maintain their game (girlfriend, friends, social circle, work, etc.). On the other hand, a real, mature, independent man knows that he should focus exclusively on his inner self. Results in other areas of life only come when he listens to himself.

This presents a contradiction: to be successful in "the game," you have to interact with other people, which means losing control of your inner self, because playing the game involves some level of manipulation, it is always an external focus.
You can call it positive, playful manipulation, but it remains an external focus.

So, to those of you who consider yourselves mature, independent men who listen to yourselves, if you truly listen to your feelings, how do you show gratitude, love, and other emotions to people without resorting to play and remaining internally focused? Is that even possible? At least for what I've tried, the game doesn't comes natural for me, I have to "actually do it", and it make me more "externally" centered, and successfull, than when I am genuine, self centered, but not successfull.

Do you understand what I mean?

Jhonny...why is it that every time an old thread gets revived, it's by you?

If you're spending that much time reading that you go a whole month into the past, maybe you should go back into the real world for a while.
