The game and Alpha/Beta

A book written by an ugly man getting tips about harvesting nookie from ugly men that scored so called women they never had a chance with before. Yeah.

Only a crazy lonely lib chick would fall for that shit. Beta males are pathetic and show it. Alpha males ooze pheromones. Once you go Alpha you never go back.

I have to assume this is satire.

But their own conversational abilities suck. They think to the contrary because guys act interested. But that's largely because guys don't care what they say--especially at first-- they're just thinking if they want to have sex with them. For most women I've encountered, their standard approach (when they take the initiative) is "Hi" or "How's it going?" And it works because a guy is happy the woman is taking the initiative and showing interest. But if a guy did something that lame, it would be quick, easy, and decisive rejection. Guys--especially introverted guys--look to books and other sources for help, because what women say will work, doesn't in fact work in the slightest.

As if these women would want to talk to you. Keep dreaming.

I know, a man's true measure is in how often he can get laid. By your standard, your standard-issue athlete with ~10 kids by ~5 women is a true winner.

Not how often you get laid. But when people go out of their way to avoid you... I would say that's a fairly big mark against you.

That's fine, just own it. Let's not tell people that just talking to people of the opposite sex like humans is the key to having a shot with them. Let's be honest that you have to be close to their physical attractiveness before those other much vaunted - but less important - human qualities matter.

Oh, I do. I'm pretty upfront- a guy has to be hot to get my attention. Period.

Good deal. When I was a younger man, pre-internet, trying to read up on "what a woman wants," magazines and books and the stuff I got through the popular media was full of bullshit like women want a sense of humor, a sensitive guy who listens to her, a gentleman. Sense of humor doesn't hurt and frequently helps. Sensitive and being a gentleman can actually be negatives if you don't pull it off the right way. But a good dose of "if you're not as attractive as she is, don't bother because none of that stuff matters as much as physical appearance" would have been helpful.

From the time boys are about 14, they talk about women being in or out of their league. You're an adult male and you never knew that your chances of dating a woman who's more attractive than you are, are small? C'mon.

I was very socially awkward as a teenage boy and didn't date much. It wasn't until my early 20s that I noticed women found me attractive. I was (and still am somewhat) socially awkward so even though I got the eye contact and the flirtatious glances I lacked the "game" to follow up on it. My successes with women have always happened after I was able to get to know them enough to get over the awkwardness. I've never "picked up" a woman.

So, in one sense, my one advantage (attractiveness) was almost cancelled out by my biggest disadvantage (social awkwardness). Throw in a pretty hefty dose of cluelessness early on and I've definitely learned that being attractive only gets you so far.

If I based my approach to women on what my buddies told me when I was fourteen, I and the women in my life would be very unhappy.

Are you parents proud of the superficial trash they raised?

For women to be treated like human beings, they need to act like human beings. Try taking off the shades, taking out the headphones, and removing the scowl.

Yes books suck.

Game works precisely because it generates emotions in the target woman, just like it's generating among many women posters here. To get a woman you have to get their emotions inflamed. The very same women who claim to despise game are those most likely to be susceptible to it, because they are very easy to emotionally manipulate. A totally indifferent woman would be much harder to game because she doesn't become emotionally involved in the situation.

This is just the latest version of what has always worked and is common throughout literature.

Women can't resist strong dominating men, even though they claim to "hate" their domination, they become sexually aroused by it.

That's the whole point of game. It's to get beyond the intellectualized bullshit such as spouted on threads like this and get to the emotions of the woman. That's what "negging" really is all about. If she laughs fine, if she gets angry fine too. Her emotions are in play and once she becomes emotionally engaged she makes herself vulnerable to "game."

No but treating women like their aliens? Not having the basic social skills to communicate? Major red flag.

My head spins reading this commentary. I'm an average to nice looking man depending on the day of the week. Have dated anywhere from 6's to knockouts and always surprised when the above average assume I won't call them for another date or think I am already involved with someone. Thought they have all the choices in the world.

But I have friends who date women who are objectively much better looking and no, they aren't wealthy. The key is they act like MEN. I don't care if you are an uberachiever career women or a barrister. A woman wants to feel the man she is with is strong and can protect her (e.g. Sandra Bullock and Jesse James). She wants to feel desired and special. She wants a guy who has a good sense of humor and can joke around. Sure, it helps not to look like a gargoyle, but you have to know how to make her happy.
