Game Information Overload
I love both ROK RooshV.com but I have difficulties on catching up on the amount of articles being published on a daily basis. Just read that ROK published nothing less than 120 articles in just one month! Most of the stuff published is good to high quality, but I feel it´s too much info to digest in too little time. Add to that all the better threads on RVF and it´s just way too much stuff any human creature can handle. Sometimes I wish ROK would publish only one article every two days.

Before ROK it was easy, just logged on to rooshv.com and read one new quality post, every 2 to 3 days. Although I mainly stick to Roosh´s main page, I´d like to be able to read all of ROK too. Visiting ROK´s archives is like entering a huge library, and the info keeps adding up.

How do you guys manage to catch up?

One thing that helps is Roosh meking a selection of what he thinks are ROK´s top articles.

RE: Game Information Overload
Set around 30 min to an hour each day to read.
Highlight specific authors that you like and focus on their material.

RE: Game Information Overload
I'm in the same boat. I have a ton of sites bookmarked and reading the new articles each day gets tough. Especially since I don't want to miss anything valuable.

RE: Game Information Overload
This is a problem across the board with lots of topics I like to follow. I have youtube channels I find really interesting and I subscribe to but I'll never catch up with them all. In the last decade with so many platforms for individual self-expression coming online, it's inevitable that you get an information overload. And you are right, you will NEVER be able to keep up. I sometimes go on long information binges that last an entire weekend day. It can be a nice, sunny day out and I may be bouncing from blog to blog, to wikipedia, youtube, forums, facebook in a never-ending circle of mouse clicks, and before I know it, I've blown an entire day holed up in my room just absorbing info that's interesting to me in the moment but will probably have limited practical use.

One thing to keep in mind is that it's simply not necessary to keep up with every article. Today's big news headline you won't even remember two years from now. On any blog, it's rare that any single post is going to say something that's never been touched on before. Revisiting popular topics is the norm for bloggers. It's entertaining to read and they serve to reinforce views you may have already had, but in most cases you aren't learning anything new per se.

Tim Ferriss mentioned that he likes being on a low-information diet. Ultimately most the minutiae of information we are bombarded with will be forgotten. But the collective impact of the stuff we read is that it will change our perspective and attitude even if we can't recall every detail that evolved us.

Mark Manson wrote an article I liked about the explosion of information and click-bait.

RE: Game Information Overload
There are a bajillion red pill/game blogs and I do not have time for all of them. I do not read them every day. I check in every so often and read the articles that sound interesting. I like Roosh, Rollo, Roissy, RoK, D&P, Krauser and B&D. Those are easily the most high quality manosphere blogs out there. Not to knock any of the other bloggers out there but they are simply the best.

Easy, just start with the basics of game, if you get bang that pretty much covers the basics, then once you're getting laid with increased frequency and keeping yourself spinning plates (i.e. always having a girl you're talking to, dating, and banging) you can learn as you go.

But basically simplified basics:
0)Date women 18-25, this age range makes everything a lot easier, no matter YOUR age, as long as you have 1&2 straightened out, you'll find the women that don't care about age. Or depending on what country you are in, being older is a Boon to you for women in the target age range
1) get your body in order
2)decent wardrobe
3)approach a lot. Or as much as you have time to do.
4)make sure you live in a location that facilitates dates i.e. near nice bars you can bring women to before the bang at your place
4)Approach a lot.
5*)don't respond to shit tests (i.e. if a woman is getting an attitude, stop talking to her for a few days while you're busy with other women, return the attitude chick to the bottom of the deck and draw the more pleasant one instead)
6*)never argue with a woman, just state how its going to be, be decisive etc, and expect her to follow through on it, if she balks, you walk.

7)Pick up a hobby that is a chick magnet (don't listen to the haters that say don't do it for the chicks, EVERYTHING MEN DO pretty much is done to get women easier but that's a different topic), besides you can definitely find a hobby that you enjoy, become passionate about AND be something that gets women wet.

8)take some kind of latin dance class if time permits.

Get these done and your confidence will skyrocket on its own, and more and more women will be attracted to you.

The steps are simple, but it takes time.




*these instincts will come to you by themselves, if you do all the other steps right, and you basically have a revolving door of pussy coming in and out of your life.


P.S. if you don't know how to get a woman into bed after approaching her and taking her to a bar near you, its easy, do some light kino, direct the convo towards sex a bit if you can, invite her to your place if she seems receptive enough, put on a movie or whatever and have another drink ready at your place, make a move on her, bang, if she is playing hard to get in your place back off a bit, and try again. keep doing it till you. . ."break the seal" or if she's just too much trouble, show her the door.

P.P.S. a lot of LMR usually just comes from the woman being too old. if she's over 30 you shouldn't be dating her anyway, so yeah, really if I see too much lmr, I just let her go and call someone else.

This goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways: Foreign Language

As was stated well above by CJ_W, what is better than a hobby that turns women on and allows you to work on something you enjoy?

I live in a large U.S. city in the Midwest that is practically devoid of foreign cultural influence (at least on the surface), so something I've been doing for the past 3-4 months is going to French and Spanish conversational meetups in my city. I've discovered a surprising amount of good looking women of all ages go to these meetups and I found it is also one of the best ways to meet foreign women in my city. Since these groups are not large and most people are friends, I've treaded lightly on gaming multiple women at the same time, often just turning one into a semi-long term bang project.

I'm very much a beginner in French and my Spanish is extremely rusty and even though I am white male, born and raised American, the fact that I can show up and confidently attempt conversations with these women is a turn on for some of them. There are foreign men with fluency and an exotic factor who you will be up against, but it is rare when these types outnumber the number of approachable women who are there.

Killing two birds with one stone is what it is all about.

RE: Game Information Overload
I second learning another language.

It's a solid hobby that will last you your entire lifetime and open up an entire population to you.

Learning A Language Is The Ultimate Act Of Self-Improvement

How To Learn A Language And Practice Game At The Same Time

-
One caveat, it's important to know what you're getting into. If you choose your language well, learning and eventually achieving proficiency is extremely rewarding. However, part of the reason it is so impressive is because it is a huge commitment. You can't just log hours mindlessly, you have to apply a ton of focus to your study to see constant progress.

“Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.” If you can take this attitude with it, you'll succeed.

RE: Game Information Overload
It's been said already but I want to emphasize: don't try to read it all. Some of it is highly specialized, some of it is just a nice tweak on fundamentals, some of it is just a waste of time. Be demanding with the things you devote time to, and always make sure it's tailored to your stage of development.

I've had a bit of luck with girls in Aikido, and my friends in karate or taekwondo report the same. You still have to like the martial art to make it worth it though.

RE: Game Information Overload
I don't really see any overload. I just see different takes of the same principles. New game content comes with new things relevant to dating come into play like texting or social media or online dating sites or tinder. As for pickup the whole game has been broken down already in obnoxious details.

That's why I don't follow game content trying to catch up with it. I only search for specific topics when i stumble upon some kind of game problem in my life. Then I research everything on internet related to that topic and study it.

In my opinion there's no need to be updated. It's internet so most probably the content stays online ready to be digested when we need it. We don't need to read about "the importance of..." like today.

Real world practice is superior to studying theory.

So, less reading and more DOING!

You won't care about being "caught up" on your reading if you a banging are pretty girl!

go outside. I'm guilty of this. 1 bit of advice that you apply is worth 10 bits of advice you never field-tested. It is one this to wear the superman cape and quite another thing to actually fly.

I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

I've been intentionally going on the forum and reading all the red pill blogs a lot less lately. I've been reading them for so long now that I know all the core material pretty well. Sure, there's stuff out there I haven't read, but I've reached a point of diminishing returns. All that's left is to go out and practice what I know.

Lately I´ve been cutting on the time I spend online. To keep motivated I´ll try to go "back to basics", by reading the books and posts that inspired me (Day bang, some bookmarked threads) and ocasionnally hit a new ROK article that looks interesting to me. I now understand that, after all it´s not the library to be blamed of "information overload" but the way I use it.

Feedly sounds like a good tool to look into.
