Hey there! Johnny here!

Did you guys got tired of the game at certain point of your life?
There are certain aspects of it that just don’t resonate with everyone.

One of them is the idea that, when talking to a woman, a man should constantly try to figure out what she really means instead of simply listening to what she says, enjoying her presence, and taking her words at face value. So, for those who have learned the language of the game, communication become interpretation.

A woman might say, “nice shoes,” and depending on the context, the situation, and the relationship between the two people, the assumption might be that she actually means, “You look really handsome”
Or she might ask, “Do you still go to the gym?” while going down on your body with her adoring eyes, actually meaning "I really want your body on me".

That is exactly where some people start to feel disconnected. It's not a natural communication, but looking for hidden meanings.

Some people are simply more genuine, open, and literal in the way they communicate.
Their default assumption is that the person they are talking to is being sincere, and that when someone says something, they generally mean what they say. (This is me)

Interestingly, once someone becomes familiar with these concepts, it can also become easier to recognize people who communicate in a similar way, and also, people who are "fake", so that they are communicating with words, but instead they've other intentions (This is when your instict or "gut feelings" make you notice there is something wrong).

Does anyone actually enjoy talking to a woman simply by listening to what she says? Does anyone else prefer taking her words seriously instead of constantly translating them into what she might really mean?

Because there may be men who are simply not wired for that kind of communication.
They may enjoy women, attraction, emotional connection, intimacy, and everything that comes with a relationship, but without wanting every interaction to become a psychological puzzle.


-- In my past experiences with women --
One quality I still have, so I had it even before learning the game, is that when I'm alone with a woman, it only takes me 30 minutes to make her fall in love. And I basically did nothing.
I was natural, sincere, authentic, and I took her words seriously.
I don't know what it is. It might be my look, or just presence.

Then after she fell in love, the games usually begin. She start.
In the early days, when I was unaware of it, I always answered her questions/tests sincerely, or with total indifference.
This is when I start to nice women lose interest in me.
Pheraps I'm considered a "too confident" man, or someone who wouldn't "play with them."

In fact, at least 5 of these women ended up in relationships with "playful" men, but looking at their LTR, you could really say that they are all very toxic. With the others, however, I lost contact, and some cities changed.

This era it's also full of men, those who have just left marriages or LTR's where they learned a lot about women, are building a life simply for themselves, refusing to play games, maybe because they've realized that you can't find a woman you can talk to honestly and truthfully?

And so they've been disappointed by the fact that they put in all their effort only to later realize that One Piece wasn't really what they hoped for. And so these men have decided to stop playing the game.

I'm 30, never married, but from the experiences of the people around me, I can truly understand and grow by learning from them.

Who among you has ever met a woman with whom you could honestly talk and listen to her words, which would have been true, and then, turning off the engine, "read her intentions"?

It's legit to ask, why did you end up getting interested in knowing more about women so?
What is your actual POV? Are you married?
I caught oneitis for a girl in High School and had no idea what to do. I have always been really particular towards the women I want, so this idea of just charging through women to get a lay count never appeased me. I am married with kids now too.

Life is a competition in every aspect. If you don't want to compete, you can always just become a bum and be homeless on the street somewhere.

Except then you'll find out there is still competition for the best sleeping spots, panhandling spots, getting you sh!t taken from you by other homeless people, etc, just that the stakes are a hell of a lot higher immediately as it's literally life and death at that point.

Well said.

Just think about men showing "friendships" is no more a thing nowadays, because we are becoming like women.
We must compete with each other

Took a lot of trial and error with messing around/failed relationships to figure things out on my end. In addition, there are certain types of women I catch oneitis for, so I know who to avoid because I am weak to those types of women lol.

"The Game" really just = Life, at least for any man who aspires to project force into the world. Yeah, it gets exhausting from time to time

Inside her mind
The older I get the more I'm just my authentic self, I don't have time to jester I use to do the most just in hope for some boxc. Nowadays I put myself first meaning if I talk to a woman and she is not even reciprocating minimum effort i.e. consistent communication, wanting to see me etc. I keep it pushing.

The younger me would have tried to figure out how to keep her engaged or how to be witty etc. Now I don't care

Until you die and you realize it wasn't about competition, but about spiritual growth.

1. As said above ; if you manage to "find yourself " you'll see that you ..(how do I say this) be less effected by the game. But..

2. The game as it is never stops...never! As long as you deal with women its game on...if you lose your edge the woman in your life will pick up on it and never forget a woman vagina is like a dam..water ( aka other men) ALWAYS try to break that dam. The moment you lose your edge another man gets closer to her even if that man is still " in the future ".

3. But...to allude to the first point; IF you get tired of the game ( and yes that happens) your best option is ( here we go again with the Gamisch philosophy);

to have a goal that latger than life, which allows you to IMMEDIATELY switch your mind back that said goal!.

E.g I can deal with a " difficult woman" and be like feck this I got 5 clients waiting for me to continue so I better focus on growing my bizz". The latter needs to be combined with actual knowledge about "the game", about female nature ,dating dynamics, a notch count that makes you happy ect.

But generally speaking ? No it NEVER ever stops. Having this mindset allows you to pivot or apply pressure when needed . The man ( like our new member who simps for marriage) who believes that something like marriage gonna save him will learn a harsh lesson...

Isn't the point of "game" to settle down?

Does anyone expect to be in his 50s and 60s and still "sarging" and "opening sets"?
You really sound goofy with your marriage solution stick.

You obviously don't know people in their 50's and 60s , because if you did you'd know that the exact same dynamics are at play as let's say people in their 20s 30s and 40s.


No the point of the game was never ever to settle down. The point is to understand the game so much so that you can be AHEAD of the game and use it however it fits you. Some men will use it to indeed run a successful relationship, while the next man will stay happily single with a roster...its "the game" that allows both men to actually be satisfied and winning their own respective game.

. If the point was to settle down then every AFC on earth would follow the same playbook AND be successful and we wouldn't have stats that say that more than 65 % of men dont date, and that 80% of women like for divorce. Stats and facts don't care about your feelings...

And YES, you will still be opening sets in your 50s and 60s. And if my assessment is correct, you will probably be in a dead bedroom with a cheating wife when you hit that age.

You got a LOT to learn mon ami!

OP it helps to read energy so you're not distracted trying to interpret their words, and can thus enjoy the moment.

Sure, but unless you are a priest having things paid for by other people, you have to compete in life.

And even if you are a priest, then you have to compete with other priests for the best looking altar boys.

Like everything in life, if it isn't fun anymore then its time to move on and shift your focus elsewhere.

You seem well grounded and rational. A toxic woman will never win with you in the end. although your solid foundation is highly attractive to her in the beginning because it provides stability she doesn't have, it is your rational mind that doesn't facilitate the drama she craves.

Find women that are more rational minded and less emotional minded. @BeExcellent is a very rational minded female and they are quite rare.

OP
The language of men is direct.
The language of women is indirect.
So it will always be tiring dealing with them. and translating.

successful marriages. typically is where the man keeps his hangs going with his group of male friends on a frequent basis, to get time out from The Wife. He keeps his hobbies, and nights out etc going with other friends. as it’s critical.

And she hangs with her gfs, gossiping and b1tching, plotting and scheming, making social
plans, talking sex. hair and beauty, horoscopes, hormones, feelings .. and crying.

the word Wife is an old acronym.

W.I.F.E.

= Washing, Ironing, Fvcking, Etcetera :D:p
