What Actually IS Game?

[James]

I've basically followed the pickup industry since 2005 and unfortunately got a lot of those thoughts and theories stuck in my head along the way.

I got some girlfriends along the way, had successes, but never really with any pick up concepts. I never did the whole routine thing cuz it felt weird to me.

This past year has been the best year for me in terms of dating. Basically once I realized that a lot of the pick up industry is a scam and that the whole thing is a numbers game is when things got way better.

So, if it's just a numbers game and the girl is either into you or not right off the bat, then what is game? The last 2 girls I've dated were when I did a totally direct approach and they were into my physically. The girl before that approached me.

So basically other than direct approach and normal conversation, at this point, I don't know what game is. Is it just concepts and behaviour: being social, non needy, friendly, interesting etc

I was out last night and saw some hot girls in a place full of guys. I was thinking, what the hell would Mystery or Tyler do here? Pull her away from a group of guys? I often think that those guys would be nothing special if I watched them.

Anyway, just some rambling thoughts. Would be interested in your opinions.
