I've seen a lot of people in high school, my age, who are on the forums and having this mentality that if they read "The Game" and learn MM then suddenly they can pick up any girl in their high school. What most people don't realize is that the game and most techniques were made for people 21+ in settings like bars and shit. Not for math class. Now this doesn't mean that the game is useless and that you can't use anything you learn but you have to realize what is more important at your age.

Here is what I think you need to know in high school
Social Proof (Popularity)
DHVing
Kino Escalating

Those are the three things I find most important. Everything else like the negging and the tricky openers are pretty pointless. In high school I just open by waiting for some rumor to talk about or if something in class happens and bam you got an easy opener. Negging doesn't really help that much and with how I see people use negs most of you will probably end up pissing the chick off lmao. Social Proof is the most important thing in high school. I wouldn't say I'm the most popular guy in high school because I tend to hang out with about 5 different cliques. I'm in the friend zone with a HB that is friends with some of the hottest upper classmen in the school so I'm good. Once you have Social Proof out of the way then you just need to find a way to start talking to her and practice DHVing yourself with stories and shit. Then once you get the IOI's you need practice Kino Escalating.

That's at least how I think I'm going to play the game this year. It's summer so I'm practicing game in other places but there's my two cents. [/list][/list]

I think your talking about Cold-approaches, which if used in social circles, can get you labeled as the "weird guy".... Look into social circle game which works perfectly for closed social circles like high-school, college etc...

Watch that and you should learn a lot from it... its for college, but am sure you can do the same in high school.

I totally agree

It isn't like bars, or clubs, or any of that stuff. If anythng its a blend of knowing day game and of course social game. I combined those two over time and got great results. Sometimes I still throw in some MM, b ut its mostly when I'm pulling the trigger with the hottest girls in school

Yes, I was trying to convey this a while ago as well...

I mean, yeah, if you learn enough you can use your skills at school as well but it is majorly different from real game...

bbardot: you just reminded me about porn

And there are so many high schoolers who think that because they haven't slept with 5 girls by the time they're 18 they're hopeless. Your bodies, and minds, aren't developed yet. You're easily influenced to think that women are objects, fuck women, use them because it's part of the game. Too many people, high schoolers included, feel that women are objects and not human beings. Build social proof, be cool, don't play mind games because at such a young, developmental age (they're still teenagers), women's minds can be fucked for a long, long time if you do this stuff incorrectly.

It is never too early to learn though. If you are in highschool and have already discovered the community! Congratulations!

I know it isnt gaming like it is in a club but what is real game anyway? Real game is dealing with your reality and getting the girl. We all want that so highschool game is game too!

I partially agree with you. Some techniques are specifically for people not in the high school age range. However a lot of the information is applicable to high school, you just gotta learn what's what. Also inner game will help you succeed in being the social butterfly in your high school.

True, a lot of the stuff you use in the community doesn't apply to high school.
That being said, a lot of stuff still does. For example, one of the first things you learn in the community is that women are attracted to guys to project confidence and value. Apply that to your game, become a confident and high value male, and there's not a whole lot of women, high school or otherwise, that'll find you unattractive.
Just apply what you need when you need it, doesn't matter what age you are, s'all i'm sayin

I think the problem is that many of the things are applicable, but its difficult to apply the Game if you're a shy fellow who doesn't have a lot of experience, and isn't exactly getting invites to the hot parties. Developing social proof should be the first step in HS game.

I would have to disagree with this statement. I just finished high school and I applied theories to parties, clubbing (all ages), along with my day game. I found negs to work very well in my opinion, but I have to agree with the kino route. I have found much success in kino. But I have been able to run all sorts of game at anytime/any place. The Game works for every person. You just have to learn to apply it to that situation like I do.

To me, you're just another number.

Disagreed.

In the past, I would have been behind you completely, and even pushed for a High School sub-forum once-upon-a-time...

The game is exactly that... THE game. The foundation is the same, no matter how you play.

Having now experienced a greater variety, it's become my opinion that it is just a much harder setting than many encountered once out of High School, for various reasons...
---Maturity (admit it or not)
---Education (it helps to see things more abstractly)
---and likely the most important:
------Moving out from your parents (literal, or even if people just assume it)
---the list goes on.... you're smart and can figure it out.

Its often stated that it is different in High School. I believe this is because it's much more likely to find those in High School just discovering PUA. A substantial number of those beginning PUA also feel that their situation is "different" or "harder" than those posed in whatever material they use to learn.

Yes, the situation is "different"... but so is every pair of situations.
Yes, the situation is "harder"... but so giving a speech as compared to practicing it...
Yes, the situation is "unique"... but so is any non-scripted conversation worthy of anyone's time

PUA, abstractly, is just a set of rules for human social interaction. These rules form the base to build up what we call "Game". You can bend the rules to ridiculous extremes, forming your own unique style, a figurative "Tower of Piza". Try and break them entirely, or bend them without an understanding of their purpose, and you may find what you've built up in an earthquake...

By learning these rules, you can take full advantage of that which PUA is built up from. It doesn't matter if you're in High School, or retired at a resort in China. The rules apply at some level, and once you fully understand the reasoning behind WHEN and WHY they apply, you are able to grasp PUA.

With the understanding of PUA and its basis, you are then able to succeed at The Great Game we're all enthralled with.
