Not everyone can develop Game/Social Skills

[OldbutSTRONG]

Point1
Perhaps I'm the only one who noticed this but the op's title is.."not everyone can develop game/social skills" but in the first paragraph the op states, "It's a talent that's either natural or CAN BE DEVELOPED THRU PRACTICE."
hmm....so anyone can develop game..with practice as you said
your post + my reading comprehension = self-contradicting

soo in conclusion i believe (meaning my opinion, just to be clear):
-anyone can get game
-game isn't something you should solely focus on
-looks and wealth can help, sadly because people are shallow except for the enlightened few...but they can't marry you..ironic heh
-go get some *****/find love/go do something productive with your life

Although I said "GAME CAN BE DEVELOPED THRU PRACTICE", I meant there's a possiblity of it but by no means is it a guarantee. I mean this for any skill out there. For instance you can learn to play guitar thru practice, but for some others it's just not possible. They are not musically inclined.

And the only point I don't agree with in your conclusions is that anyone can get game. There are a few out there who just don't have it no matter how often they practice.

Your whole attitude about this is wrong, you feel like you just will never have game. So you wont, hate to say it, but you wont! Every "rich" person and ever athlete have one thing that you don't have! No it's not necessarily skill, it's a Positive Mental Attitude that they will succeed no matter what. Do you think Robert Kyisoki ever said " oh man I will only make 10,000 dollars", no he said "I'm going to make millions thats my goal and NOTHING is standing in my way". Do you think Michael Jordan ever said "Why are they letting me shoot this last second shot, I'll just miss it". NO, he said "Give me the damn ball we're winning this game". See they envisioned their success, they had no doubts in themselves.

So if you don't correct your attitude then yeah you will never be good at game.

Thanks for trying to help me out but I'm not worried about my 'Game'. In truth, I worry much more about my financial status and looks opposed to my 'Game', but that's a different topic which I don't care to discuss.

Yes I agree having a positive mental attitude is key, but sometimes one must be realistic about their limitations.

OP, what about yourself? You say not everyone can develop game blablabla... Are you yourself also one of those persons who cannot learn it?

I do have some Game, but like most others it can always be improved.

When it's just women alone, the most basic social skills often suffice, but when you add a bunch of other guys into the equation, then it comes down to your skills in the art of ''one upmanship''. Women will usually go for the guy that everyone respects, you're competing for this respect because there is not enough of it to go around.

This is so true. It's easy to flirt and make a woman laugh alone. When there other males or even females around it's a challenge.

IMHO, I believe not everyone going to a "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" seminar will walk away a multi-millionaire.

Not everyone going to study for medicine will walk away being a doctor.

Not everyone training and dieting hard will have that elusive 6-pack for a long time.

You're right.

But every guy doing something to improve himself will be one step ahead of pple who just sit back and bytch about how hard it is to learn game, business, medicine, fitness, etc...

EDIT: practice will help you improve your game. It's just a matter of time and effort. There is no set formula though. Maybe for some guys who have 0 social skills, no $$ and are ugly it will take years. Are these guys guaranteed to become players? No. But if they don't try, then they are guaranteed to never get better at it.

OldButStrong, you say you only worry about wealth and looks... But what happens when you're rich and you got girls playing you left and right and using you for your money? If you never learn how to deal with women, sure you'll fvck hot girls, but in the same time you will just be a toy in those gold diggers' hands.

I think all guys attract CERTAIN women.

If you're (honestly) a rockstar, musician kind of guy you'll attract women into that lifestyle.

If you're a nerdy guy, you'll attract nerdy girls.

If you're a computer / anime geek, you'll attract girls like that.

I think that modern pickup theory (at least as I read it) is that it is a guy's goal to capitalize on what he truly enjoys - what his lifestyle truly is - and then learn to project this towards the women who will be honestly drawn into that.

Most guys aren't into the bar / club scene, but PUA has traditionally only focused on women in bars / clubs. Hence, the old school focus on learning how to draw in bar / club girls.

But if you know your own niche in life, inside and out, you can have as many girls as you want without ever stepping into a bar / club.

It all depends on how well you know your own niche...

I've noticed that and wondered about it. I know guys are meeting women in places other than bars. Most guys probably find their LTRs in places other than bars. I think the reason bars and clubs are focused on so much in PUA material, is that it's easier to F close the same night if the girl is already drunk.
