| I've been okay with women since I started college four years ago, and I've started to read and employ the game (starting with Strauss' The Game, and then other literature I've found online) for the past two years. It's all been very helpful on my confidence and entire outlook.
However, there are things I still want to work on. That is something I will call "higher level game," which I'm sure is probably just regular old game. Let me clarify:
When I usually meet women, it takes an immense amount of will-power and courage for me to make that initial meeting. Sometimes the conversations are painful, and I just make it out with a number close (some of which never respond, others turn into quick but single lays), but other times the conversations are wonderful and the number close is very natural, as well as the meetings after. Consistency is something I will work on.
Another thing is the quality of women I approach. Ironically, in the past I've only approached the highest caliber women (in both terms of looks and personality), but I rarely got laid back then. Since then, I've increased my range, but for some reason (and I've only realized this lately), most have been in the 6-7 category. I think it's just because I've gotten used to success with these women, and I have plateau'ed. Unfortunately, this means I've also gotten worse at gaming the 8's and 9's. Since game is all about attitude, it's something I will also work on.
Since I've graduated, I've been meeting a lot of older women. Luckily, I've been good at initiating these women since they are more mature (and I am used to discussing mature (read academic) topics with them), however, there is a slight barrier (age difference) that I am a little afraid to overcome. There have been 3 women in particular that I have been talking to somewhat frequently that I want to game, but I'm making mistakes that would work better on women my age. For example, talking about school like it is a chore, exaggerating about my nights/drinking, and other things. Should I be more direct? They should be used to being asked out for legitimate dates by this point, rather than the partying invites.
One major obstacle is working under pressure. My friends have noticed my progress, and I've showed them various literature on the game. This leads to this being a conversation topic that is often discussed. Since I have more experience, I am often working under pressure in front of them, and I tense up and lose fluidity. I also have older friends and co-workers who (for some reason) think very highly of me, and expect me to do very well and it also causes me to choke on occasion. I read somewhere that some people purposefully work under pressure to get over this, and use tricks to get over the body's quirks (like purposefully gaming women when they are short of breath running up a few flights of stairs, and other body hacks), so I will look into this.
AMOG'ing is another subject. I haven't faced too much AMOG'ing, but once another guy is involved I just completely withdraw. Since I've never been much of an altruist at heart, this is unbecoming. This will also be changed. It's a power game when another man is involved, and it must be handled with firm finesse.
Overall, I look forward to contributing to this forum. Here's to an exciting time here!
