I have nothing against going to bars, but the notion that it would be a proving ground for emotional strength seems a little silly. Especially if the so called demonstration of emotional strength is just based on a recommendation from another guy.
"Game" is not just used in a bar. It is used in everyday interaction and well into a relationship. "Game" is not playing games, game is redifining or tuning how you interact with the opposite sex.

Exactly! And we should also realize that the "beta herbs" won't even be around the stellarly-attractive women. It's not that they make unsuccessful forays and become dejected over failure; or that once making partial headway, they allow themselves to be emotionally dominated on account of being so sexually enthralled. They simply do not partake of such an environment.

If we're going to devolve our focus to crudely simplistic criteria, I have this challenge to the OP: propose actionable advice on how 3 or 4 level-guys (on the infamous 1-10 scale) can attract 3 or 4 level-women.

I've read a lot about 'game', PUA etc etc. and it's been invaluable to me. It's taught me exactly which men to avoid and how to stop their manipulation. I'm sure it's saved me a lot of hearbreak in the long run, and I advise ALL of my lady friends to do the same.

Ignorance is vehemently denying that game works, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

Correct. "Game" works, as you explicitly stated, on guys who are already attractive.

As far as that group is concerned, they could pretty much stand there and get dates, no game required, really.

For the rest of you who believe working out is a medieval torture construct and like to talk about their level 33 elf clerics on a first date, not so much.

Or you could likely just be less of a chode and girls would be attracted to you anyways? I have known plenty of people "deeply" into the"game" and "pua" and they were all pretty much nerds. When they "picked up" girls, they tended to be creeps. They would just do weird stuff and were just awkward people.

If people want to do it, that's fine. But understand it's not for everyone. It's for people who seriously have personality flaws or even personality disorders.

Normal people should not need it. period.

I'll bite.

Does "game" work? Sure, for some it does. Some guys are able to convey a certain attitude that garners attention from some women. And sometimes that attention results in a "hookup".

If what you're looking for is basically just sex with as many women as possible, then go ahead and use your "game" to your advantage. However, if what you seek is a relationship that lasts, why would you want to "game" your potential SO? Wouldn't you rather just be who you really are as opposed to a supposed playboy?

What interests me is that quite a few guys on CD claim they want to find a mate but then turn around and spout PUA and "game" strategy as the end-all be-all. I'm not saying that everyone is in that category, but I've seen some that are...

I don't have a problem with guys who use PUA tactics to get what they want, provided they are being honest about what they're seeking. I never used them myself (nor did I have to, honestly) but hey, I'm not going to judge. I don't measure myself or my "quality" by the number or league of women I slept with. I've always been me and as I've gotten older I've become more comfortable and confident with who I am.

Lol, you have a major fault in your logic. You are comparing one end of the scale to the other end. There are plenty of marginally attractive guys that women don't fawn all over just because of their look, but they aren't dorks either. They need to have some sort of edge. Enter, game.

And let's be honest, there is no hope for some dues. Dorks playing warcraft? Yeah, game is not going to help them.

Haha. Don't try to get better with women, that's your choice. No one is forcing you to stop getting walked all over and falling in love with the first C cup that shows you interest.

Women are nothing but objects to manipulate to you, are they?
