Reddit mentions of Rules of the Game

Let the flaming begin. I've been thrashed by people on here every time I mention pickup or game, even if it's EXACTLY what a lot of guys on here need. It's changed my life entirely. If there's one thing I wish people would understand, is that it's NOT about sleeping with a bunch of women.

It's about taking control of your life (a part of which includes how much sex and with which girls) in it's entirety.

It is not sleazy to learn how to be an attractive man. If I learn to dress better, that's me bettering my life. If I learn to rock climb, scuba dive, and appreciate fine wine, I am improving myself. If I learn how to vibe better and be better socially calibrated in social situations, that is LIFE IMPROVEMENT.

Most guys that get into PUA do it because they're painfully alone and lonely. They start learning all of this information thinking they'll at least get to have more sex and possibly get a quality girlfriend. What they find is that they are actually really good guys, with good qualities, that DESERVE to have a MUCH better life than they've been living.

They start getting better friends, becoming more popular, becoming more confident, finding girls that never would talk to them suddenly chasing them, find that they are hanging out with cooler guy friends, being invited to parties, moving up faster at work, being happier, doing cooler things, traveling, enjoying life, and TAKING CONTROL.

If you are a man who is happy with where your life is, where your dating life is, where your sex life is, then keep doing what your doing and you'll get what you always got. If you want that rockstar life, it doesn't take money, looks, or luck. It takes you sucking it up, going to a few websites of guys that have changed their lives, and opening your mind a little. You have EVERYTHING, literally your entire life, to gain, and nothing to lose.

Here are a bunch of websites I have bookmarked after going through thousands. They are all PUA related. Browse through some.

Check out seddit. This is half of what they do. The general consensus is practice, literally go out with the intention of talking to 20 groups of people. Don't care what will happen you aren't trying to get anything from them just talk. The rules of the game has 30 day of challenges / routines specifically for this. If you ignore a load of the sex stuff it is a great book.

Did you go through Neil Strauss' Rules of the Game?

> Could you share how you got over your own personal racial mental block?

Your issue is race and maybe height. Some guys are fat, some are bald. Start by realizing that everyone has some issue. Which issue is irrelevant. The technique that works for one issue works for the others, too.

The good news is that most PUA material is designed for you. Instead of saying "sack up", it's broken down into step-by-step material. Imagine a psychiatrist with a depressed patient. Instead of "get it together" he'll give specific steps like "list 3 good things in your life".

The Rules of the Game is very detailed and step-by-step. It's 30 days of missions, each mission is 5 minutes of reading and then you go do something. It's all very specific, stuff like "smile at 5 people" and "talk to a stranger for at least 1 minute".

The book was too beginner for me so I can't comment on how effective it is but might be right for you. Just trust that there are people out there that know more about this stuff than you and that if you follow their advice, you will succeed.

I'm guessing he is talking about this:

This book is doing wonders for me. Seriously, if you've got the money, check it out:

I read the first book of this, when I was at a low point in my life. It is less about this will get you all the women in the world, but why. The why, is that you are confident in yourself and you make the world around you. It's about being comfortable in your own skin, and walks you through a series of exercises to get you there. It really works for being self-esteem.

The entire purpose of your best man speech is to get you laid. Wedding Crashers was a mediocre movie, but the basic premise was spot-on: nothing kicks a woman's sex drive into higher gear than a public display of commitment. The evolutionary purpose of selecting a best man is to allow one to pick an unrelated set of genes which you approve of to promote for intermingling with genes similar to yours (your family's). Basically, your friend has put the spotlight on one man in a crowd of horny women.

So here's how you do it: pick up The Game and Rules of the Game before writing your speech. Practice beforehand. Your goal is to exude confidence. The wedding traditions will practically force you to interact with women: do so with gusto, but make a point of completely ignoring the girl you want to hook up with (make it obvious). Then go do your speech. You want to subtly insult the happy couple but do so in a way that's joking so it's not offensive. This will make you come across as bold and likable. Then go for the gusto and request that they give a round of applause for the couple (which, to the subconscious, is about the same as a round of applause for you). While the focus of the room is still centered on you, but there's a little confusion as they transition to the next event, make a beeline to your target woman. You'll be at the height of your social attractiveness and she won't be able to resist you.
