"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Can you use the principles of game for non-romantic purposes?

Say you want a better working relationship with female work colleagues, or you want to be closer and get along better with your sister or your mom. Can you use game to influence a woman's behavior when you're not trying to sleep with her? Do many of the same principles apply?

Does the frustrations of the AFC when it comes to romantic conquests carry over into platonic female relationships?

"Game" isn't deep ocean physics, or answer to life.

As Uncle Zeek says, it's just common sense at play.

Don't overrate it.

But the general attitude advertised in this community IS very general and

positive.

I'd sum it up in two words

Improve thyself.

^^^^ All the way... ^^^^

When you have something to be proud of (the way you look, carry yourself, interact with others), by default you're gonna be a more confident person who is more in tune with those around you.

I'm happily married, and can't emphasize enough how "game" -- if you want to call it that -- has made me feel more comfortable around others.

Yes. Certain principles of game (alpha vs beta), (leader vs follower) will of course work on female colleagues, female family members etc...

Game shouldn't just only be utilized as a tool to get laid.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

When I worked in sales, I hardly ever made a sale to a man. The only men who bought from me did so for the sake of a woman. Almost all of my sales came from women. I'm a charmer. Old ladies love me.

The same company had another rep who was a smoking hot young woman. I'd always see her at the company awards banquets; she was a top salesperson herself. But in talking to her boss and coworkers, she just about never made a sale to a woman. It was all men. :)

Yes.

The three second rule is good at any social gathering. Even around a group of business people, approach and greet them right away. It shows confidence.

A watered down more playful version of c&f can be used on friends and family. Why do friends playfully "rib" each other? It's a sign of affection.
