I would like your view on:

Is the game addictive???????

In short my answer would be yes!!! simply because I have just come back from a night of sarging and am on a massive low, why? Beacuse I had such a high practicing the game and I now have the need to perfect it!!!! wont stop till I do.

Although I'm on a low I see it as a posotive thing, no high can be achieved without a low, it is what will make me strive to do better next time I did watch a documentary on gaming which showed a guy who had become so addicted to it that he had become homeless. While I dont think a "gaming" addiction was his issue - mearly an excuse for hiding other problems - it did get me wondering, could it really be that addictive???

Look foward to your thoughs

It can be, but that also serves as an amazing relationship tester. If this girl is so perfect for you that you could throw the thrill of the game aside, then that's the time to start a very serious relationship.

I don't really put any money in to my gaming so I'm not gambling with my life, but when it comes to knocking down your other interests, hell yeah it is addictive!
I love the feeling after a nights sarging!

I think it is but not in a bad way, I am addicted to improving myself and rarely drink anymore when on nights out. So it is saving me money, making me better and making me happier.

Although there is the other side of the coin. After a night where I bomb I feel pretty shitty, after a week of bombing you feel really shit but it is one of those things, if you plough on you will figure out what was going wrong.
Also the biggest drawback I have got from the game is I have always been single, I hate having a gf or being involved but I decided to give it a blast. Now I hold women to harsher criteria so feel like I could do better than any girl I am with.

I think it can be addictive and also in a bad way, although whether this is good or bad depends on your style.

This is a major sticking point for me at the moment; for instance if I'm out with friends I can't see a hot girl go by without approaching, and if I don't approach I feel bad. I'm also constantly looking out for hot girls in my peripheral vision. All I think about when I see a hot girl is sarging her, not the fact that she is a genuine person who could have other sorts of value to me. I find this bad.

It can also intrude in other areas of your life. Two specific problems I am having - the first is this very points. For example I only go on facebook to talk to close friends and the like, but now I invariably get girls writing stuff to me or chatting to me when I just want to talk to close friends.

The other point is that I am still not managing expectations well, and some girls or sets are coming off badly at whatever point in the game with them. This leaves negativity around in my life which is something I can do without.

So yeah, perhaps the bad points stem from incompetence in certain areas of one's game.

It causes young boys to focus on their surroundings rather than inside themselves. You WILL NEVER have joy if you search for it via anything other than within yourself! I would put my life on the line when it comes to that last statement.

Improving yourself is a scam. You can't improve who you are! The true you doesn't need improving. All that self-help stuff only makes you feel worse. Only makes you hide from who you really are.

The industry is about making money. It has nothing to do with you getting "hot chicks". Want to get "hot chicks"? Book a flight on NWA/KLM to Amsterdam then connect from Amsterdam to Kyiv/Kiev via KLM or Ukraine Int'l. Airlines. Game over. Will that bring consistent joy to your life? No. Will you get some incredible girls? Yes.

Want to be a magnet for people? Find yourself. Look inside rather than outside. The best way to do this is to spend more time by yourself. Spend time just focusing on the joys of now. No music, no tv, no other people. Just you. Workout, clean, write, paint, take a bath, drink, eat, etc. Just be in the moment. No judging, no analysis. Nothing but now.

The thing is that once you find yourself you will love yourself so much that you won't care what others think.

i think it is very addictive and can really mess people up who are not secure within themselves.

a big problem is that it mainly is the socially retarded that make the majority of PUA's and thus are not ready for "real" social interaction

i agree you need to find something within yourself to be happy but learning game is not about girls but socal interactions. people are social creatures and this ability so change ones self is what puts us on the apex of evolution.

it makes me feel a little empty now when i talk to new people. they r just minds to conquer. and its a sort of power being able to do this and all power is addictive. on a point of advice keep your friends close and when u r with them try to forget about the game. game every1 else but dont change the relationships u already have with the people you love

i was opening sets in my sleep last night...ha.
