What's your current game strategy and how long have you been in the game? With your current game strategy, has it changed much over time or has it worked for you? I have been in the game for probably two decades. I didn't know it was actually game until I moved to Toronto. Before that I thought it was just a red blooded male trying to get some poosy and not get played. My style is more casual and laidback. I don't ask a lizard for the sex early.

I'm in the same boat. I thought game was a normal part of growing up as a young black man. We aren't afforded many luxuries in life but the pursuit of Poosy is where we can even, if not dominate the playing field. I've been banging chicks for the past 25 years and have only become aware of PUA gorilla style game in the last 10yrs. I'd describe my approach to game as extremely laid back as well. At this point in my life I'm not poosy dependent. I'm not really interested in bedding women that I wouldn't want to spend the next day with. Admittedly, I've been in a live-in LTR for the past few years and I'm just getting back out there. I guess when I say my goal is "Direct Game" I mean, just plain straight-forwardness in every aspect from approaching to determining if she meets my qualifications.
One thing, specifically I'll be doing which I haven't done in the past is expressly qualify women with direct questions. I've always been hesitant to do this because I personally hate being qualified by other people and I don't usually do shit to people that I don't want done to myself.
Now, I'll be qualifying bishes based on intellectual, professional and personal preferences. "Where'd you attend graduate school, what's your 5 year plan?" etc.
I used to downplay my own achievements and intellectual prowess to make other people feel better. Now, if a bish doesn't meet or exceed my achievements, her willingness to submit and please better damn sure make up the difference.

I feel you on that. Things that look good on the outside, are typically not good on the inside. I LTR'd high grade 3x. (and ltr'd midgrade 2wice). Of the 3 high grades - 2 were majorly fucked up on some levels, and the 3rd - I probably have blocked out her bad shit. With the mid grades, the first was my first love. The 2nd - I should have known better.
Behavior >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Looks. And there's just some shit you can't screen for. Some thinks that don't look bad on the surface, but end up driving you crazy.
I think the main issue with guys and 7's vs 10's is (surprise, surprise)...
They DON'T run GAME on 7's, so they CAN'T run game on 10's.
Most guys just use their SMV to do the heavy lifting.
2007-2016 - game was about self improvement. Make yourself better, and she will come.
Game was about applying psychology. Not because you shouldn't improve yourself - but because Game is about not being the best product that she can select - but becoming a buyer yourself.
It's 2017, are things going to turn back to applied psych?
I doubt it.

Most of the remarkable success stories of guys going abroad -
1) Some guys leveraged their western/exotic factor but they also did a shit load of self development here at home.
2) Other guys invested in learning the language and the culture, and basically put down some roots for more than a couple weeks.
I've only been to Developed Asia, Developed Western Europe, and a smidge of Latin America. There was some exotic factor in all of those places - but it became clear to me that if I truly wanted my experience abroad to remotely resemble what I get at home - I'd have to invest heavily. A week in Lisbon wasn't gonna net me a Nelly Furtado.
Going into the foreign situation, with your American game - can make you a better player - because you have to mostly communicate non-verbally and rely on non-verbal cues that are not culturally specific.
But you gotta be aware that those skills exist.
Some things are universal because they're primal
- using eye contact
- getting up a in chick's face/invading her space
- touch
- making her friends realize you're cool, not a threat to her safety
- getting her away from her hating ass friends to get really acquainted

Would I run the "I know this fantasy footballer guy online, and he hasn't been on a date in a decade....and he has his first date next week.." in Lima?
I don't even know how to translate the essence of that bit- because the gender divide punchline might not be culturally on point.
Does "You know your boy, right?" really culturally translate
to "Sabes a tu chico verdad?"
Cause en Engles - You say the phrase, and at the same time you also *drop chin a bit*
*raise one eye brow*
*make eye contact*
*tilt head*
*drag my right hand across my face, down my beard*
That doesn't always translate immediately with non-black people. It probably mentally kicks in later as I go down how fucked up the premise is.
I read maybe 4-5 other forums - and I can see why old school PUA ended up dying.
I'm more confused as to how it even got popular in the first place.

Thinking about it I think that's the one thing that guys who try to run social circle and fail really don't get.

Those are I think the things that need to be achieved to get mastery of the quality of rarity. Once guys figure out themselves they know exactly how to be a high valued person with their thought process and way of life.

Thief in the night game!
"That guy is cool."
Lemme try to adapt what you're saying about being a friendly to what I've learned
1) Tyler once had a bit about meeting everyone in the club early in the night - and not running any kind of game what's so ever. Hi and Bye, My name is...
And at the end of the night, you basically can cash in - because she remembers your face, maybe not your name, maybe not that you creeped her out - there's just this vague memory. You're "familiar"
So this second approach is a proper one, and in her mind, you're no longer a "stranger". And that underlying thing in her head - makes it easier to run your game. Especially if you act like the previous meeting was all good. She just mirrors you emotionally, and often with your body language.
2) When I started, I never reapproached chicks at the club. And if you live in a "small" town, like Houston, even with 4 million people - if you're young and you go out - you're going go to the same 10-12 clubs, the same 10-12 after hour spots, the same movie theaters...
So these chicks I saw at the club, or elsewhere, I'd open when I saw em.
And I remembered that they didn't really cut for me on Montrose, but in the Mall - it was something else. Like why is this chick cool with me NOW.
False Familiarity is what i've always called it.
I think what you're saying about your game and what Tyler said about reapproach right then - operates on
a) The interpersonal/Jedi Mind Tricks aspect of game - where you're fucking with how her brain processes and taking advantage of that
b) Social circle game
Quote:I go both ways on that. I know guys that do it on purpose and others know that they're doing it on purpose - but the guy ends up being so personable - that it's cool.
Quote:Yup, this is my life in a nutshell.Great way of putting it. Being lost and not knowing where the party is usually ends up resulting in a party of its own. I've magicked an after party together just by getting a bunch of strangers talking to each other.
Indeed, I have a very "let's ask that stranger for directions" face.
Quote:Indeed, but I got to hand it to you Comte - this is really some deeper level stuff.
I think guys that think social circle game - come at it in terms of "networking". When it should be "friend making".
Quote:This is a lifelong thing.Kind of why I dig the self-improvement side of the forum a bit. I need to work on my inner philosophy and inner game quite a bit still. Keeps the bratty attitude and of doing what you want cause you're you at bay.
And having spent the holidays with people that are 80+ - these folks are truly themselves and don't give a fuck - but that's not necessarily a good thing for game. It's like a de-evolution to being a bratty 4 year old. Hissy fits and all.
Good shit.

You have the super alpha who will say my way or the highway on everything and is not realistic of the social marketplace, thus ending up forming some sort of Men Going Their Own Way mode and perhaps leaving a lot of poosy on the table or not even getting the poosy on the table to begin with (not poking at that movement, by the way). Also on the other hand, one has the guy that will say and do anything to get the poosy and although he may get a ton of lays, he conceded way too much to let it happen. For instance, if a group of lizards, say 45 of them (all 8's) decide they all want to smash a guy after they fingered his rectal area with three fingers, there are many guys that will allow that to happen and just justify it with "I just smashed 45 8's!".
Yes, factually, those fingered males did smash 45 8's but perhaps one can say that the fingered heterosexual male individual conceded a bit too much in order to get the booty, hence a Pyrrhic victory.
Apologies about that gruesome metaphor but I wanted to drive a point home.

Pyrrhic victory: A victory won at too great cost to have been worth it to the victor.

I'm sure I'd find out for myself if I keep at this, but reading the experiences of the guys here could speed up my learning process.

In the past I never planned out the 3 girl rotation. It just kind of happened then I noticed the patterns.
I have had multiple 3 girl harems (not bragging) and here is my recent take on it:
I can consistently pull girls of the 6 and 7 level but rarely the 8 or 9. Maintaining 3 girl harems require lots of time, money and energy. The time I spend maintaining these harems can be better utilized pushing myself career (business/money) wise, and time in the gym... which will all in turn raise my SMV.. making it easier for me to get that 8 or 9 that I really want.
in the last few months of 2016 I got rid of my harem and am now down to one single 7 plate who is so far reliable enough to have sex on a regular basis without stressing me for a relationship and at the same time giving me enough time to pursue the goals I really want to achieve.
I said this before in another thread and ill say it here..
At a certain point 6s and 7s don't even count as a notch anymore.
Since this is New Years Eve... I think thats my best advice for all the brothers here going into 2017.
