"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"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.

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.
