Game is simply being able to get a woman, if even once. It's laughable when the guy who married the first girl he ever slept with talks about having game, especially when the wife is a non-competitive porker or something.

Game in my book =
Good "flirting" ability
charisma that's appealing to potential partners
the ability to secure the next step in the "pursuit" (i.e. get a number, get a date, whatever your end goal is)

It doesn't have to deceptive or sleazy. Generally people with "game" are just confident in social situations.

I think game is strategy. Knowing how to approach individual women and getting what you want from it.

Can you pick up women from each end of the spectrum, and in between? If so, you might have game (or a fat wallet).

Are we women, or farm animals in a county fair?

In that context, game is a good thing. In practice, it's usually the kind of thing that guys like Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother Does, i.e., yeah, he's appealing, but usually he kicks you out and doesn't give cab fare a few hours later. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

That's the million dollar question. Finding a man who doesn't view us as a commodity or farm animal is the real challenge. There are plenty real men out there, but these boys who want to have a game or do pickups at a bar are only looking for their jollies.

I think "game" is what you can bring to the table.

It should resolve around stuff like education, personality, sense of humor, likeability, attitude, goals, etc. Basically stuff that is deep in you and you can't manipulate just to get a good girl in a sack with you on the first night.

"Game" equates to "Player" and both involve the use of 'Rules to Engagement' (see TVSG rules) no different than a strategy to a board game or video game and not being yourself. That is what gives it a negative and manipulating meaning. Games are games. Period.

Defining game won't help you, what really needs to happen is figure out what you are doing right/wrong and how we can help you fix it.

Can you tell us what happened the night these firends told you that you don't have any game?

It's all of the above. You have to have good confidence while being a smooth talker and being able to adapt to many different situations.
