I get a tremendous number of makeouts in his city with buzzed white girls out on the town, but my conversion rate is far lower than I’d like. I think you’ve perfectly articulated why. The sexual tension is being deflated and I’m also not being as discrete as they would like (creating discomfort, which =/= rapport in the longer term).
Easy mistake to spot.
But a hard one to give up.
A man has needs!

I never really grew up with a lot of game. I was raised in a white town with nothing but white people and no real connection at all to any part of black culture that could “put me on game”, so to speak. I’ve written in here about this before, most of you know the deal.
I didn't grow up with it. I look back on lessons that I learned, and I was aggressively "anti-game"/firmly embedded in the matrix so that it didn't really occur to me.
But then I read, tried stuff out, some of it worked, and the rest is history.

I grew up without really perceiving a real difference between me and them. It was really only in college that I learned things had to be different for me because, like it or not, black men cannot approach the game the way white men do here. Race always comes first when it comes to how one is perceived by others – it doesn’t really matter who you are.
The game is the same.
It's just understanding where you fit in.
If you were a tall ripped rich handsome white guy - A lot of the 7's are going to dig you. Maybe if you're a president of some fraternity - you'll have your choice of top sorority pussy.
But then that white guy that was "killing it" leaves college. All he has to look forward to is a career at a Fortune 100 company. (I keed, I keed)
He didn't learn GAME. He got pussy.
There's a ton of guys on RVF who get pussy. Dudes flying in to Cambodia or Peru are running through bitches. Some of them of them manage to do that here. Catch a typical RVF guy in Sacramento or Memphis - doing the self improvement thing and just putting himself out there. Getting over his approach anxiety and creating the logistics - and he's knee deep in vanilla pudding.
Look good, show up, get sexual.
Understanding the social dynamics, what makes a woman tic, how the group works together, -
that's where the game is. And that's how guys that "don't fit the mold" become party promoters and social connectors.
They don't focus on perfect deadlift form, they focus on people.
Some guys need that party atmosphere or high density of chicks to make something happen.
What I'm talking about happens in the conversation that you have with a chick.
All she needs to do is to bend her ear - and you hook her.
Not every chick, not every time, but enough that it's not LUCK. It's not a numbers game. It's a skill game.
You go from
1) playing the cards you were dealt (I have a good hand) ->
2) to playing the odds (what are the chances that anyone can beat my hand) ->
3) to playing the person (I'm watching this fucker like a hawk -and i've been in a thousand games before)
4) To owning the casino
A chick saying she doesn't rock with black dudes is just a bluff.
What she says during the attraction phase is bullshit, a test, an opportunity.
Madison, is a black dude from Canada, and he doesn't play the "black card" at all. He's just a guy. (unlike say Player Supreme who you guys like - who plays the black guy game to the extreme)
Game isn't exactly the same white guy/white girl, guy of flavor/white girl - but the overall structure of
- find em
- approach em
- open em
- attract them by pushing them away
Is the same. If she's talking to you, if she's not walking way, subconsciously she's down for the Dick. If she wasn't, SHE'D LEAVE.
She's just a puzzle to unlock.
Oh she likes animals...start a conversation on animals, and then switch to food when she gets going. And when she's hype on food, before it hits the climax, you go to relationships. If the relationship dies, you go back to food or animals. (oh I forgot..one thing..)
Blackness, whiteness, Asian-ness, Indian-Ness - it falls to the wayside. She's not really thinking about what she's saying, so you can go back and forth, you can go all sorts of places. She's not composing every little word - she's in reaction.
And she's trying to put you in reaction to her - but you're not letting her.
Her wanting control - is her downfall. Because you keep giving her a shot, and taking it away.
AND SHE LOVES IT.
Like kids love keep away, but get bored when you actually give them the ball.
Nothing about this has to do with race - it all has to do with psychology.
It's like playing chase/playing tag - the fun is in almost getting caught or almost catching the person.
You're just doing it verbally.
People do this sort of thing all the time. It has nothing to do with bagging chicks.
A really good preacher - he can take you down a path, a path you think you know, and just as he's about to say some shit that you've heard before - he goes left.
When Spotify was creating playlists for people that wanted new music - they found that 20 songs of brand new stuff - made them lose people - but 1 song they knew for 10 songs they didn't increased engagement.
That's the level that we're dealing with. I swear it's like 4-5 of us on this site of 500K unique visits that talk about this, that talk on this level.

It’s been extremely difficult, though, because I’m not sure how naturally it comes to me. I need to raise the taboo factor to be successful because of my race, but I don’t know how to do that because I’ve spent so much time viewing myself as the opposite of taboo.
It's an option. But if you are coming from an mostly white background - it may be difficult. You don't need the "black" edge per se - you can just have edge. That's controlling the conversation, that's trolling her, that's playing with her - verbal keep-away.
She's going to respond the same way to you that she'd respond to a white guy.
That's not just me talking, but 15 years of guys of all colors going out and using Mystery Model INSPIRED type game.

There’s still a piece of me that’s offended by the fact that many of these girls would only engage with me in a discrete context and only really with a focus on sex and nothing else. I hate the fact that the idea of bringing my child home is so much more problematic than bringing a white, mestizo, or even Eurasian baby home.
I might get more slack from my folks for bringing a chick into the family that doesn't know how to use our comb, lol.
But it is what it is. I don't play the hand i'm dealt, I play the game.

After all that time spent thinking there was no difference between me any other guy of any other race, I still feel this nagging need to be treated more…I dunno…equally? Like a person and not a novel toy to be enjoyed discreetly? It’s a hard mentality to kill and it definitely inhibits my ability to really invest in/play up the taboo factor the way I need to in order to succeed here.
I feel you. The president of the company I work for is making a bajillion dollars - and for the most part - he is an idiot outside of this particular domain. Arguably he failed up.
But, as smart as I am, that dude hustled to make his paper. He faced a shit ton of other white guys to get these valuable contracts - not like X-Corp chose him based on skin tone.
Soon as I get my nickels together, I'm gonna pull a Chinese. Hire some white dude to be the face of the company. Long as the checks clear...

I’m a buck/novel toy until proven otherwise. That’s just the nature of the game here in the States.
You could go that route. Many have.
But it's not particularly helpful.
You're letting them occupy your mind.

Exactly. There’s an increasingly loud voice in my head these day telling me that this game and the “prizes” I’m working for (American white girls) might not be worth all of this effort.
As you said:
Quote:I think for a lot of men, moving to a new place and having the society treat you as a person is POWERFUL.
Why work so hard to be with people who see you as black experiment/discrete novelty first and an actual person second (if even that)?
Because
1) the work is not that hard compared to the reward - and I mean the work to learn game. it's beyond pussy
2) not all white chick are like that.
