For the past three years of The Rational Male there’s been a consistent presence in the comment threads of guys seeking advice for particular situations with regards to Game. Whether it’s fine tuning certain aspects of Game or a larger consensus of the guys participating in my comment threads it’s become obvious there’s a need for a dedicated page and comment thread to address these Field Reports.
So I’m instituting this page for exactly this. If there is some urgency to have members of The Rational Male community analyze your particular situation feel free to hit anyone up in the comments of my current post, but please refer them to your particular field report with a link to your comment here. I’m hoping this will alleviate the mass of posts for field report analysis and Game specific insights piled into the main blog post for any given week.
There will be some rules for this “forum” as such. I ask that you only keep your comments to addressing the field reports at hand and save your larger theoretical stuff for the main posts, or if relevant, keep the “bigger scope of things” posts to being as succinct as possible. There will be no moderation in this comment thread (spamming excepted), so realize it will be a very hot kitchen before you post. I will impose no restrictions on video links here, nor will I limit links to various, but pertinent articles.
Understand, this is an experiment for now. It’s likely this comment thread will exceed thousands of comments. I’ll be instituting new comment plug-ins for wordpress to deal with this in the future, but I may archive this page the the posts and refresh this page in the future as well. If this gets cumbersome I may simply institute a dedicated forum-style sub-site of The Rational Male to accommodate for Game specific questions.
So have at it, post your field reports and feel free to comment on the ones you have some particular insight for. Be forewarned that it’s likely things may get a bit salty at times and I expect a lot of back & forth with debate and disagreements, but that’s what this thread is for – to hash out Game particulars for your given situations.

Chunky Good morning man! When I was younger, 20 and less, sure I got blindsided. That’s part of how I learned. Mostly everyone has a public face or persona they cultivate and put forth. It’s rare to meet strangers and get a true read on who that hard and what their motivations are. I listen to what people say, but I take everything with a giant boulder sized grain of salt. I need to keep them engaged to be able to read them and pull out the ” real ” then in bits and pieces. Everyone’s words will give hints… Read more »
Oh, re: coworkers. This is a tougher one as the work environment along with it’s myriad of rules and regulations make actionable reading of co-workers more difficult. Rarely will I resort to using ” authority ” ( because I don’t like it being used on me…). I demonstrate capability and if the coworker can’t recognize it, then they are in their own. Without being highly capable, why would anyone listen to my suggestions? Stopping a co-worker from fucking up is the same as anything else. You try to get them to reach your conclusion themselves. It’s not manipulation as much… Read more »
Marquis ” I can only conclude that bizarre as it seems, the women’s enjoyment of the experience was not really correlated with how long I lasted or even if she orgasmed or not. The biggest indicator of how much she enjoyed herself and her willingness to put in effort to come and see me again on my terms seems to be just how much she was into me, and how much she liked me. The more attracted she was to me, the more the women enjoyed themselves, but not actually anything I did in bed.” Not bizarre at all. Do… Read more »

So even if it is true that you are the only man she ever trusted (see also @Sentient’s take one it), take note of the fact she fucked the ones she didn’t trust.

“It’s not manipulation as much as it is leading them”
Good leadership requires manipulation and sometimes doing a small evil to achieve a greater good.
“The worst consequence is blowing up my entire life.”
Nah, the worst consequence is not being the kind of man you want to be. The worst consequence is to fail to be good at being a man.

Just one to share in the “Disaster” Department. Met an HB8 at a party two weeks ago, ran standard game, kino and number closed. Next day I set up a drinks date and continued teasing—all good. The night before the meet up she texted to say she was working and could we move it to Wednesday. Ok. Wednesday comes, I show up, text to say I’ve arrived. I get a text to the effect: “OMG!

Chunky Part 2. Breaking women down. It’s different than dealing with men. Only the weakest of men can be ” broken ” down, and that doesn’t constitute a majority. Men look for different qualities in other men, and these usually have to be demonstrated ( loyalty, strength of character, honesty, etc ). Women don’t really care about those things per se, but they do care about their ability to discern these things, even while not caring that much about the consistency of the application.

@palma The whole night was a shit show from her “forgetting” we were set to meet when she had arranged it up to her suddenly taking a call from her bf and then saying he was sick and had to leave to meet him. I’ve had some shockers before but this was the biggest head scratcher. It was going well. She was sexualizing the conversation. I have a few thoughts: 1) sudden guilt and hamster spinning 2) not attracted—but then why would she respond to kino and sexualize the conversation? This is clearly someone with issues. The point of this… Read more »
@Palma I looked her directly in the eye and said “Last week…” paused as her eyes widened, then I said “My turn and asked her apart from her lips what part of her body do you most like kissed?” She blushed again and pulled back laughing “That’s personal…” Me: “Well…go on…can’t back out…” She replied. The more I think of this the more I suspect she double booked and may have over-looked the date. She arrived as quickly as she could. She had drinks and we had a great Questions Game. I bounced her to another location and she sexualized.… Read more »
@Palma After going through it, I think I activated her Anti Slut Defense somehow or rather the constant needy texting, her sexualizing the Questions Game and my kino must have fried her circuits and activated her ASD.
The only thing to do is spin other plates. They usually come back or re-engage.
@Palma Right, but context is king. We were playing the Questions Game so when she sexualizes first it requires a direct answer. If this was the “are you married?” nonsense then it’s a shit test.
There are no Shit Tests in the Questions Game.
Wala Calibration with 8s is heightened. Margin of error smaller. Tests more subtle. Microcalibration called for. “I’ve also come to realize in the early stages of gaming a girl…EVERYTHING is a shit test. ” My view is you started to lose it when she showed up late after skipping the first date. Instead of “you buy the first round” add “next time” and breeze. Put you in a chasing frame. Calibration. When’s the last time a dude skipped on her? Especially Asians? Never. THAT would’ve fried her circuits. I get man. Cause “hot” and you want it. Great “conversationalist”… Lol.… Read more »

That’s the AF studs job. Consider she was… Read more »
Last word Wala… Easy to get “lulled” with these and a big part of that is your game is pretty tight. It’s very easy to smoothly grab these girls amd bounce them and lead a charming encounter with lot’s of Kino and ease of touch around her, no lulls in convo, some banter etc. And next thing you know you think you are halfway home, because with that 7 you are. Another smooth by the book encounter! You the man! The difference is the 7 is giving you DDB eyes at that point and the 8 is still composed. Microcalibration.… Read more »

It’s comfort material, not attraction material. You need to have established solid attraction before you do something like this. Or you get what Wala got. Or worse…

@j. Right which means the constant bf texting was cock blocking me. This female frame control idea is that more time was needed to break it down. The attraction was sparked and we were pinging back and forth between comfort and attraction… Then her rational brain kicked in.

“Teevster notes the negative side effects of waiting till the end phase of the model (seduction) to be sexual (something a lot of guys who run MM complain about.” Somehow I don’t think that Mystery said that being sexual had to wait until seduction. You can be sexual up front with a glance at her body. You just don’t give approval about her looks until she earns it. And she doesn’t get seduction until she earns it by passing your A-2 compliance tests. I’m very skeptical about this FSM bullshit. Girls haven’t changed their wiring since Mystery wrote MM.

@Palma The lesson here is quit before you get blown out. If after that first drink I would have just said “Ok, let’s do this again soon” and left first I would have had a better chance for another shot.
As it stands now she will feel terrible for the way she acted and this conflict and my silence will fry her brain but it’s still 50/50.

“The lesson here is quit before you get blown out. If after that first drink I would have just said “Ok, let’s do this again soon” and left first I would have had a better chance for another shot.”
Go back through this thinking… This is the text you should have sent when she “forgot” to show up.
That would fry her circuits.

A C S is a progression but not a stair step “set and forget” routine. You will cycle between/through as you go. If you want to criticize MM this is one area he did not make hyper explicit in the book for the sperglords.
Watching the dozens of tapes fills in the gaps.
On the phone thing. Remember you can just take it or make her put it away… 😁
Sentient
On the phone thing.
One exec I know is former military, his term is “stack arms”. Everyone’s phone handset goes in the middle of the conference room table, no exceptions. Ringtones? Ignored. The millennials hate it but don’t dare to try to buck the order.
Opportunity to lead by example; opportunity for compliance testing, in many venues.
Once I asked someone “Who else did you bring with you?” pointing to the phone. Eventually she got the hint.
@Sentient – noted re the comments to @TheMarquis! Now I just need to actually have some dates and meet some girls and not be in constant pain from training! @walawala – just a couple of minor points quickly as don’t have much time – most points covered already anyway. First, I would personally not text to let a girl i’ve arrived anywhere. Comes across a bit needy.

I disagree strongly. I know guys that are knocking chicks down like bowling pins, and have been doing so for decades.
It’s just that I’m not a fan of the ” everyone else in the world is doing it wrong, lol, lol, lol ” vibe. Chicks fuck. If a guy needs to understand anything at all, that should be the first thing. The ever growing minutae ( to boost sales ) is a little odd. These are women we’re talking about, not quantum physics.

Allow me to help. Both of you are right. There are obviously naturals/alphas who have never heard of Game who are now and always have been knocking it out of the park with women, long before Mystery was born. Mystery’s genius was that he was able to reverse engineer and codify what they were doing. Not that he was the first man to get laid a lot. This is what Blax is talking about.

Marquis, “And she almost shouted at him not to whisper to me and to say it loudly.” Translation: “You’re turning the kids against me by making me act crazy-paranoid and say outrageous things!” Been there. Keep in mind when she does this she considers the kids and you as useful tools of her external validation. It is a sign of insecurity and misplaced expectation. If your wife considers the usefulness of others (provisioning, sex, admiration, status) worthwhile and that usefulness wanes or evaporates, her love turns to hate as her expectations of your meaning are disappointed.

@TheMarquis About the rooted (even before the cultural programming feeding it) pro-feminine bias of women, it springs I think from solipsism — whenever they pick sides in an issue involving another woman and another man, they will patron the woman outside of any concept of fairness, reciprocality, and rationality, because they themselves are women and their ego perceives the other woman, as, partly, her own self. Basically they can do nothing aside from irrationally, unfairly, patron their own egos. Anything beyond the personal sphere is felt and judged according to how much it is felt as “their own business”. On… Read more »

Proof of what my previous comment says is, when the strange woman’s interests and conduct cross Woman A’s interests (thus upset her ego, the center of her mental expanse, occupying most of it), then she’ll be against the woman, see her as scheming and bad whilst the man involved in the intrigue as “innocent” and “harmless”, and words of truth on the negative sides of womanhood will, exceptionally, pour out of her.
That’s the only exception to the rule.
Come on now TT. Do you even TRM?
It’s not ego. It’s women’s collectivist nature. What’s good for one women benefits them all.

Palma,that’s a rough mouthful. Looks to have been written by a 13 yo. His attitudes will change when his interest in girls peaks,and again when he witnesses hypergamy first hand and feels the effects. It could be a long wait but from what I’ve seen it is inevitable. I guess I was 17 and had it with her and her actor husband so I went to work for my Dad. All he ever said about her is “she is crazy”, on the other hand I could fill a story book about him and why he is this way and that… Read more »
I can handle being MGTOW too as long as the wife keeps putting out more because of it and she is.
Fantastic Friday evening (26th July) in the excellent company of @Palmasailor in London’s Covent Garden and Soho districts by way of London Summit 2#. 🙂 As theory is nothing without practice, here a some FRs (my first) for examination and comment: :: FR1 – Tapas Bar: Mid-to-late-20s Blonde barmaid from Madrid (“MB” = Madrid Blonde) :: Palmasailor and I needed a bite to eat, so we dipped into a tapas bar early evening, and ate some good Spanish cold meats, tuna and tortilla, washed down with an excellent glass of white wine. I noticed the barmaid, a reasonable 5.5/6, slim… Read more »
:: FR 2# – Friday 26th July with @Palmasailor in London – French / Swiss duo (both early-to-mid 20s brunettes) :: PART 1 Bounced into a Peruvian bar with Palma and had a couple of drinks outside at a table. Palma went inside to get a couple more, returning with two girls, one French and one Swiss – both brunettes in their early -to-mid 20s, and friends who had, at one time, both shared a flat together. Palma pulled up an extra chair and the French girl (“FG) immediatly sat down, while the Swiss girl (“SG) stood opposite us, saying… Read more »
:: FR 3# – Friday 26th July with @Palmasailor in London – Argentine Tango (Brunette, 43 (“ABR”) and Blonde, 48 (“ABL”)) Same Peruvian bar with Palma; FG and SG from FR2# had disappeared …. Two women came and sat down at the table adjacent to where Palma and I were sitting. This was a poser … Firstly, the seating arrangment was not good: the two women, both Argentine were effectively sitting side-by-side at one table, with Palma and I mirroring at the other – like starlings on a fence, so difficult to engage in convo. Secondly, and this is just… Read more »
:: FR 4# / FNL- Friday 26th July in London – Black-haired mature Greek-Cypriot (55) (“GC”) :: Note: @Palmasailor knows most of the details of this FR / FNL report – and it’s quite lengthy :-/ So, after @Palmasailor had left for the evening, I decided to have a night-cap at a favourite basement bar of mine in London’s Soho district. This is actually a gay bar which I know well, and I am friends with one of the barmen there, whom I have known for about three years. They were already closing by the time I got there, but… Read more »
@TantumErgo – good FRs man. Some thoughts. FR 1: I had a hilarious near-identical conversation with a French girl years ago when she realized I knew that the University of Paris 2 was called Assas, because most people have only heard of the Sorbonne (Paris 1). Basically what Palma said on this. You didn’t have enough attraction (therefore did not get an IOI), therefore your escalation (in this case asking for a number) did not work. You needed to DHV a lot more and get IOIs before going for the close. You did DHV a bit with fluent Spanish etc,… Read more »

@ wahoo McDaniels

“Her “Por que?”
Tantum “Estoy muy caliente””
Yes!!
So why weren’t you with @Palmsailor and me last Friday? LOL. 😁
TantumErgo
@TantumErgo Great to read about you out in the field. Not many men do that and hardly any your age. Some points for you to look into for future ventures. Look at these elements peppered into your interaction (who’s on the hunt and who’s the prey?): she asked me to go back in and see if her two gay friends were still in the bar Which you do… for free… missed the opportunity to test her frame and ask her to do something for you first. Her hindbrain would have registered a different Tantum. She then suggested we go elsewhere… Read more »
@ Marquis ” it’s hard for me to think of my wife in such cold dispassionate terms.” Tough-love is tough for a reason. Otherwise we’d say tough-like. Love is eternal, creative and perpetuating. Love is a fixed purity, dispassionate and certain. It is correct, righteous, in a meaningful way. Like is a preference, variable, fueled by emotion and uncertainty. It may be correct in its meaning, intent and execution…maybe not. Here we risk failure to ourselves and others, blowing around in the winds of emotion. “Wie gefaellt’s Ihnen?” is German for “How do you like it?” Literally translated It is… Read more »
Tantum Good stuff man. You can be a killer if you tighten up a little bit… How much capital G Game have you gotten into? Have you read Mystery Method? And importantly – have you watched the many seminars online where Mystery expands on things? There are also a number of good ones by Matador and LoveDrop on body language and kino btw… The good stuff – Obvi you are solid at opening, at least in respect to approach anxiety and you can carry on a conversation. I suspect you are above average looking and note the cream pinstripe jacket…… Read more »
Oh and congrats boys on the London Red Pill Summit producing 100% more lay reports than Poland…
Aside – update on PussyGrinder… Not going into a lot of detail.. but to test my feeling… sent a text : Hey. Your husband around?
and BOOM! she was all LOL… OMG!!! he is right here… I had a follow up that was innocuous to blunt the edge, but that cat jumped out of the bag.. lol…
“you PUSHED that last bar” There are guys who recommend bailing unless there are overt IOI’s. Persevering in the absence of IOI isn’t totally unwarranted. An absence of her overt IOI isn’t a IOD. There’s no reason to assume she didn’t want your number until she said “no”. It’s a good practice to efficiently move the conversation along…which you did. A lot of guys assume without an overt declaration of IOI there’s no point in opening or pushing the bar of expectation. Sentient is aggressive in his approaches and doesn’t back down in uncomfortable shit testing. Formidable frame under withering… Read more »
Good points Eh. To clarify – what I meant by “pushing” the last bar, the one with the greek, was that it was late, the bar was closing etc. It would be easy to go home. But so often there is gold waiting to be picked up… They do call it “golden hour”… even post golden hour can be golden…
“golden hour” Anecdote…. A buddy and I are downhill skiing. We’re at an apres ski party in the main resort. I pick up a woman and left to bang I forgot to hand off the hotel key to my buddy. He’s sleeps in the hotel lobby until he’s kicked out He wanders up to the room and is hanging out, sitting with his back against the door at 2AM waiting, pissed. A girl walks up and chats with him. At some point she asks if he’ll come back to her room to fuck. Just like that. No joke. He popped… Read more »
The options being some sort of substance abuse. There isn’t a substance that I haven’t abused at some point. That turned out to be the best form of self medication ,walking in bitter creek. Just lucky to come out the other side in one piece. “In hindsight I contained the ex wife until the 2009 banking crisis at which point she pinged me for weakness when I was at my wits end. The shit tests went nuclear after I failed one after another, but here’s the thing, I woke up one morning after a nuclear fall out and told her… Read more »
One more for the road.
@Palma Boundaries are good to have set,I finally learned to draw the line at physical contact. Abuse from a primary care giver leaves out boundaries. The way things read if it is patriarchal abuse thats believable and will garner sympathy, if on the other hand it is matriarchal abuse then you must have done something real bad to deserve it. basically I am on my own,may as well get used to it. I run to extremes ,I am extremely sober at the moment and have been for years. And have a tendency to go all in on people and then… Read more »
@TantumErgo +1 on IRL’s analysis… i could add some more detail, but the basic idea is that she has you fitted for your shiny armor… AND the bit and saddle…lol… but in spite of that^^^ you are actually doing great!… and props for getting in the field… especially that solo at the end of the night… like @Sentient says it is really easy to just call it bc your wing went home… IF… and that’s a big IF bc she is 55…lol… if you want to turn it around with the GC, you are going to need a game plan…… Read more »
@palmasailor Instantly I was hit with more shit and every form of blackmail she had in the Rolodex. I just said no and walked. Before long she was begging but by now I’d had it. She was beside herself in pieces. I reckon most men could swap the frame of their marriages like that. that’s the only way is actually works… you have to be willing (and mentally there) to just leave… and then just ‘don’t get divorced’… if you want to stay married anyway…lol but the more you ‘want’ to stay (which is BP… and a frame shift away… Read more »

Ahhh nothing like sweet validation 🤗

@HABD or anyone else
Hey HABD,
I have seen you mention the guard dog spinup situ many times but havent seen it used by anyone else in these parts of town and don’t get it from context. Would you mind explaining it in short?
@Palma Tantum I accidentally discovered a way to get a girls hamster spinning without saying a word.
I sent a WhatsApp message to the wrong girl and then deleted it. It appears as “message deleted” in her messages.
The girl immediately began madly texting wanting to know what I said and then ended up reconnecting to meet up.
Try it….send a message and then within1 minute delete it. Watch the fireworks.
@walawala @Palmsailor “I sent a WhatsApp message to the wrong girl and then deleted it. It appears as “message deleted” in her messages. The girl immediately began madly texting wanting to know what I said and then ended up reconnecting to meet up. Try it….send a message and then within1 minute delete it. Watch the fireworks” I really like this — and I have a couple of targets in mind… @walawala Presumably at no stage did you even attempt to justify the deleted message, but rather brush it aside and go straight for the meet? I ask as a newbie.… Read more »
Ummm J, Ruby’s sex tourism was from 3rd world to 1st world… Not the other way round.
@walawala Nice! I use this open loop concept infield to great effect. I alternate between leaving them open, by side stepping her inquiries into things she wants to know more detail about (“nah don’t worry about it. its not important.” “nah i’ll tell you later” etc) (but never closing them) and closing them, by answering the bait I threw at her, by DHVing myself. By alternating between the two, it always leaves her unsure of what I’ll do. @Sentient P O W E R F U L neg. lol. but seriously. ya because 1st world is ALWAYS higher quality than… Read more »
Hold up. Spoke too soon
1950’s Vikki Dougan can get it

@j these accidental situations often can be worked into something that becomes more natural.
The kitten-string idea can be worked out in ways you describe.
@Johann
How do you feel when you know a girl you banged yesterday banging some other guy today?
If it’s a plate, honestly, I don’t care. I just don’t want to know. The girls are usually smart enough not to bring it up and I don’t ask. There’s truly no strings attached.
If it’s a girl that I’ve been seeing and am interested in pursuing and I find this out…I dump her immediately. I don’t explain, I just ghost her.

I was trying to think where I saw that pic before

Ah yes. Indigenous peoples.
Look you miss the note as per usual. It’s not about a 5/6 or even pygmy fetishism.
It’s about the validation seeking. Break that before it breaks you.
Enjoy what you want, leave the validation at home.
@ Sentient @ Calum Struan @ Wahoo McDaniels @ IRL @ Palmasailor :: London Summit – 26th July – Field Reports :: Gentlemen Many thanks for your considered analysis and feedback, which is much appreciated 🙂 There is a lot for me digest here, and I will endeavour to get back to you on your individual responses as soon as I can. The short-and-ugly of it is that, while I have never usually had any trouble getting women – doing so according to a tight game-plan is STILL new to me, and I am here to learn.
