Did game improve your way of dealing with people other than the girls you're trying to bang?

I've had a rocky relationship with my parents while in my 20's as I tried to establish independence from them. Even though living away from them helped in easing tensions, I think learning game also helped in keeping things rosy between us when I spend time with them.

Some examples:
-I don't argue too much, if I were to disagree I choose my words carefully to make a good point and leave it up to them if they want to continue the discussion. Used to fight my side to the death.

-Discussions/talks are as light as possible and initiated more. Before, I avoided them.
I've talked to my parents about deeper life stuff before so no need to go into "parent issues" with me.

-Less time communicating on phone, more in person.

-The heart grows fond with a long absence.

-Confidence with words and actions makes them doubt you less.

As a side effect of getting into game I built up a really cool circle of friends in the process.

I am now atttempting to build a networking system built on game principles. Unbelievable how quickly people will offer you opportunities if you just ask, or what friendships can develop.

So my answer is yes. I can't imagine having achieved the above if I hadn't gotten into game.

Life is a game, bro.

The best players are guys who come from sales.

Now you're gonna make me look up literature on salesmanship.

Yeah, looking back at previous jobs the salesmen I met were some of the most confident, well-to-do charmers around.

Didn't take them seriously back then because I simply viewed them as money-focused liars full of air. Big mistake.

Game is just a branch on the tree of con-artistry.

Non English-native here: Doesn't game basically just mean "skill"?

I'd say charisma instead

Change "money focused" to "pussy focused" and that describes most players, doesn't it.

Game is sales and sales is game. You sell yourself in either scenario. The broad won't go home with you if she doesn't trust you and the guy won't buy a car from you if he doesn't trust you.

Even if you are not actually selling something, say you're at a job interview, you are still selling yourself so the principles of game/sales apply to most everything in your life.

Game better improve all your social relations, since it is--at its core--developing your social intelligence. It's actually near-impossible, I'd argue, to only improve at meeting women romantically and not improve in nearly every other aspect in your life that requires negotiation, empathy, and charm.

All successful entrepreneurs use game all the time. It's all about approaching.

I deal with a lot of interesting people through work (I work in financial services) and sometimes a lot of clients don't enjoy the requests my job requires me to make, so they try to avoid it or make it seem like a big deal.

Anyway, I often adopt a super teasy, playful, cocky, and fun vibe around some of the female contacts I deal with through work, I've found that it makes things so much easier for both of us and more willing for them to help me than being boring and direct.

Now some of the contacts I regularly have to deal with often, have a rise smile when they see me and genuinely seem to enjoy my presence compared to some of my colleagues who have to deal with them regularly also.

100% True.
