Do you believe that internal belief systems are more powerful than game itself?

I started questioning the idea of dating itself.

Why do men need "experience" in order to learn how to behave around women? Women don't need "experience" in order to know how to behave around men.

Why can't men just believe certain things about themselves so strongly that their behavior just comes off naturally?

I think the whole premise of dating is flawed.

Women don't need "experience" in order to know how to behave around men.

Yeah they do

They're not even averse to looking over one another's shoulder

To enhance their own appeal. Insofar as your general query goes:

Being conscious of and altering one's internal beliefs is a key component of "game"

20 year ago, I was a hopeless incel. Right now, I've been in a relationship for 3 years and it'll probably end up in a marriage.

Looking back, this is certain: INNER GAME is 90%. Once you have this, you don't need tactics. You just do you and some women will be attracted.

PUA and dating coaches hate what I've said because they think they can teach you to act a certain way. But give women credit: they are more intuitive and perceptive than you can possibly imagine. They know when you're putting on some stupid alpha male act. They can sense when your actions are incongruent with your beliefs.

I'd even argue PUA advice is actually destructive because it teaches you that you aren't good enough. You need a fascade. That's the opposite of improving inner game.
