Good podcast. I was a little upset when we didn't get to learn why Moma calls girls lizards, though. That did make me smile. I actually think of women as lizards now. I sometimes have to watch myself when talking to friends, "I hope they'll be so li--girls here tonight."
I once said lizards to a friend and he was like, "wtf?"
I do agree with your observations about Caribbean/West Indian men having more natural game. Two of the best players I know personally are from the islands. One is trini and the other is Haitian. They're both dark as midnight, short, but they have that real "don't give a fuck" vibe that can draw women in. They're also masters at sweet talking. When I try and sweet talk a girl I sound gay, when they do it it's smooth as hell and turns the girls on. It's interesting shit, but I attribute it back to the fact that those cultures are more people-oriented. Most of my Carribean friends come from huge families where the fathers, uncles and male cousins all play a huge part in teaching the next generation of guys how to do things. It almost seems mandatory that you would learn game that way.
My mother married into a Bajan family, so I know a fair bit about Bajans, and they're also dudes who walk around with pretty solid game for no reason, but I attribute that to the fact that there isn't much for a young dude in Barbados to do, so why wouldn't he eventually find out how to drop panties for fun, instead of, y'know, quickscoping bitches on XBL?
As far as online game goes, I agree and disagree. I'm above average in looks, but I HATE going out at night. I will do it, but I tend to find that I just don't have a vibe that does well there: I'm soft-spoken, a metal head, weird sense of humour and all those things that generally make me not enjoy being out at night. If i'm out at night, It's because I'm at a concert, drinking at someone's house, or out with friends having fun. I just find that the night scene in my city is rather forbidding for someone like me. That said, I do agree that online game shouldn't be your only way of getting women. Cast a wide net, and all that. I actually never really got the vibe that women didn't like me because I'm black online (although I am clearly mixed looking). I just figured they didn't like me for some other reason, but I've only lived in NA all my life, so I might be be as aware of that given that I come from a small East Coast area where it's very racially diverse, so it wasn't unusual to see multi-racial couples and such.
I do agree that the quality online is far lower than real life, but it's a good way to supplement the number of women i'm speaking to, especially if things go dry during the middle of winter.
You guys definitely made me more keen to travel. If a young up-and-coming player were looking to go somewhere in which black guys are liked what would be the first choice? I've never traveled out of the country alone, though I would like to. You guys made a compelling case for scandanavian countries, so that seems cool. What would you say though? I'm 26, decent shape, but I only speak English.
