Been reading The Rational Male

"The goal isn't racking up as many women as humanly possible in order to sift through the throng and find that one little golden flower. In fact that’s the key to disaster. There is no Quality Woman, that’s an idealization. Some are better than others of course, but you don’t find the perfect woman, you make the perfect woman. There is no needle in the haystack – that is Scarcity / ONEitis thinking – the point is to mold yourself and any woman who you do exclusively end up with into your own frame. This is a process that should come before you commit to exclusivity, not after."

I just read this and it's an epiphany for me. Pure genius. Women want a man, and a man leads his own life how he wants to. Running through all the conversations and women I've known throughout my life, it makes so much sense to me all of a sudden.

I'm not religious, but it's amazing how game runs congruently with the old testement, eh?

I think this is one of the hardest things about Game to learn.

I spatially visualize it as me always looking forward, taking in the surroundings, planning my life according to what I see. Women come in to the side and slightly behind me, and in front is the plethora of new experiences, skills, and ideas that I'm learning and coming to grips with. When I forget this, my Game suffers accordingly.

Regarding the ideal woman, I think there are plenty of ideal women. Women that, with the right frame being established by the man, could blossom into being a great wife or partner. As Rollo says, they'll never love a man the way we've been taught - women will never love us for who we are. But I think with the proper frame and dynamic a relationship can be quite satisfying nonetheless, albeit never the primary satisfaction in a man's life.

I view it as there being a bunch of awesome ice cream flavors I get to try, and maybe eventually I'll develop a taste for one that I want to have every evening after dinner for a long time. If that never happens, I still get to eat ice cream all the time. But women aren't steak. My life is the steak.
