"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
