Wondering if game arose more as reaction to a general sense of entitlement harbored by Generation Y that was manifested in girls behavior instead of the feminist movement that's been going on for many years before.

In this clip, she says that Gen Y is from 1883 to 2000. Game hit big around 2000 with the internet becoming increasingly popular, but also that first crop of Gen Y girls was 17 in 2000. Did we not have a game movement in the 1990s or 1980s just because the internet was around, or was there something specific about Gen Y girls' attitudes that have incited a need for game?

Men have always wanted to get laid. What we call Game is simply the most effective strategy around today.

- Urban, anonymous living + feminism = no costs for promiscuity
- Shallow, easily distracted women = necessity of learning how to capture and hold female attention with shiny things
- Unchaining of female Id = rewards for dominant, masculine behaviour and punishment for beta/provider strategies

Feminism - i.e., the shift toward a hypergamous, r-selected type of society - is the ultimate cause of the best and brightest men of our generation devoting such a ridiculous amount of time to the fundamentally useless and unproductive pursuit of learning how to manipulate female psychology.

But, the nature of modern Gen Y women (smartphone-equipped, solipsistic, and over-validated to all hell) determines the specific flavour of game that works best on them.

I think the Internet probably acted as a catalyst because guys don't naturally get together and gossip about girls the way girls do. Nobody ever wanted to say in person "Man, I never get laid, how should I do it?" Or, if they did, there were no guys in the conversation who had better answers than 'buy her flowers.' The Internet allowed guys on usenet to talk about this and develop an organized and systematic method for getting laid and to share tactics in a much more open manner than was possible for one guy and his social circle. If Mystery and the other guys had lived in Saudi Arabia, game might look considerably different.

Not a lot of comments here, maybe because the truth is too close to all y'all millennial men to understand this. I believe the answer is a resounding yes. The culture you grew up with has changed considerably over the previous one.

My feminist gen x female friends, ex girlfriends etc are not half as bad as the gen y entitlement princesses you guys are forced to deal with. I know my ex-wife was Gen Y.

Gen Y men were socialized as women and Gen Y women were socialized as men. Shorthand for sure, but more quite close to the bone.

is it me, or are most TedTalks lame as hell? I mean you got the Epic ones like Tony Robbins, YourBrainonPorn guy, but most of them are pretty pointless.

Frost is spot on. Ultimately, it's about men doing what needs to be done to get laid.

What Ovid said.

The Internet acted like a catalyst. Technology shapes personal decisions and the larger society in ways we often take for granted.

Men think a lot about women and women's issues but usually don't talk about it amongst themselves. Once technology was devised that allowed men to communicate anonymously, a "game plan" (pun intended) was put into play. Hence, the reaction to feminism.

That's the good news. The bad news is that while men's innovation's emancipate, women seek to control. So it's only a matter of time until women attempt to get all the anti-feminist rhetoric on here classified as "hate speech" and banned.
