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.
Yeah what’s your approach Mike?
Go ahead. Let’s.
This is good to think about.
@TheMarquis Sentient and Having A Bad Day and Others welcome back! Back after a long time. Marriage going pretty well. Not perfect, not where I want to be, but generally good and I feel like I know what I am doing. Financial issues resolved for now and I have a plan. I have a question about my kids. My son is 8, my daughter is 5. Fighting constantly. I know siblings fight and the younger one always wants to play with the older one who thinks the younger one is annoying but this is extreme.

I have some questions about my daughter and how she’s learning BPD behaviour, but right now my son is the priority and she is only 5 so she can wait for the moment. The only real uncertainty I have now is… Read more »
The Marquis, there are numerous reasons why discipline is done in private at the family level.
What happens at the woodshed stays at the woodshed.
At the public level we discuss what is unacceptable behavior not who is unacceptable.
Society has effectively burned the woodshed down. It’s one reason we have so many ineffective males wandering the country.
You can’t Google your way out of this situation either.

Wake the fuck up broski.
Your wife is NOT going to get on board with this. Full stop. YOU are going to have to lay down the LAW with her and the kids. Full stop.
There will be [emotional] blood…
then I risk getting bogged down in committee discussion about the details of punishments and her nitpicking minor aspects of it
Lol. Captains issue orders. Full stop.
You got this but only if you don’t try tip toeing through the tulips. You can’t negotiate through this, which seems to be your MO. You conflict averse?

Okay, here goes. First disclosure, I am a Christian. I say this not because I believe that non-Christians won’t be able to give me sound advice, but because the way that I choose to describe things might not be clear to a non-Christian. If my description of things is unclear just tell me and I will give it another go. I’m 60, been with my wife for close to 35 years. A little over a year and a half ago I discovered Rollo ( he’s a regular guest on my local morning talk show ). I listened to him regularly… Read more »
I agree the man needs to be the dictator, and the enforcer of discipline. I have found that a pre negotiated penalty for a given bad behavior works. Similarly a pre negotiated reward for good behavior spells things out with no surprises to anyone. Get son/daughter/wife to negotiate the penalty/reward. Don’t take out garbage, negotiated penalty; 2 day loss of iPad. Son knows ahead of time what is coming if he fails. If you simply dictate a penalty you’ll get rebellion. If the penalty is prenegotiated the offending party knows whats coming. All you need to do is hold fast… Read more »
@Wodan
If she’s sticking with you, and hasn’t fucked you over yet, there might be hope for you. Often it’s not that a woman has had better. It’s that she fears you becoming better. Reassurance doesn’t do it for this sort of thing. What does is actively letting her freak out while she tries to compute why you give a fuck about her despite being the shit. Hypergamy leads her to water. But Feminism tells her the water isn’t safe to drink.
Meditate on this.
@Mike Land
Ok, Pappy. Don’t forget to listen actively. You should be golden. Engineering questions should be easy for one such as yourself to answer. Just remember we aren’t all engineers.

Mike Land.
Come on man. Do your homework. How would you open that girl?
Need to start there.
how would I open?
I thought about it and would go with “great bikini, that tag kind of spoils it though” or some derivative of that.
I’m totally not against homework, and recognize I need to do much, much more.
I need to be able to come up with openers without pondering for half a day.
Welcome back, Palma.
Bikini girl: I wouldn’t try to open direct. I’d try to get pre-selection somehow before opening her. Then I’d try to merge her into an existing set (with female(s) already” with “Hey you, come here meet my friends (…)”, maybe with a plausible “excuse” that we will play some kind of game together and another person would come in hand (which she obviously would know she is getting picked because she is hot, but still). That is the highest probability to hook that I can think of.
Mike “how would I open? I thought about it and would go with “great bikini, that tag kind of spoils it though” or some derivative of that. I’m totally not against homework, and recognize I need to do much, much more. I need to be able to come up with openers without pondering for half a day.” How would you engage this girl? From my experience, and listening to countless women ( a shitload of ” hawt ” ones too ), there’s is no rational reason for a man to see one women so differently than another, just by first… Read more »
Blax Excellent reply, thanks for taking the time. Much to ponder. My thoughts are that an opener would need to have a degree of “context”, in this case she’s on the beach and in a bikini, not a hell of a lot more to work with. I don’t have a wing, and and anticipate flying solo on these ventures. From what I’ve gathered from my first pass at MM game theory some form of a playful neg open is usually best which is why what came to mind for me is using what’s available and negging the bikini. My thinking… Read more »

So I think I’ll say we’ll do a late night low light session at the beech and then well walk back and develop the film in my kitchen.
She can probably borrow the stuff from college and we’ll need a dark bag, thermometer, graduated measuring vessels, and a film development tank – preferably with a stainless spiral.
I buy the film and chemicals (bc she’s broke student) and we’ll take it from there.

On the photography front. I’d shoot something forgiving like a TX 400. Teach bracketing and go on a photo safari. Bathroom developing is somewhat easy. Arrange for late afternoon shoot, develop after. Loading dev tanks after dark in a closed bathroom is safe and no dark bag required. Bring a practice roll to teach loading. do the first in the lit room with the practice roll. Load the real roll in the dark together in the darkened bathroom. Things should develop. Processing the film is easy enough, hang in the bathroom. Raising the humidity is required for dust control, best… Read more »

Palma- only thing I would add re the photographer barmaid strategy is that you need to be sure the flirty/sexual/man to woman vibe is there.
She certainly enjoys talking to you but it’s not clear to me if there has been sexualisation (sexual topics? Laser? Cutting distance? Kino?)
Basically – the strategy is good but just be sure she doesn’t think she’s going for a platonic photo session with a guy who reminds her of her dad.
New to this forum, and just realized I should be using the reply button, duh. I know a thing or three about photography. My darkroom is crated up for redeployment at my next house. I have a few thousand feet of film in the freezer, a locker full of lenses and a few film bodies. Shooting is easy fun, developing film relatively easy. Printing is a lot more involved. I’m writing this from the perspective of what I would do if given this opportunity, not as advice. I’m highly interested in feedback on weaknesses in my theoretical approach. My approach… Read more »
I’d suggest a photo safari with forgiving 400 speed or faster film. TMX 3200 pulled to 1600 is very easy to shoot. I shoot Nikon F mount and would bring a digital body to swap in and check exposure.

I agree with your BB comment on discussing lenses etc. I mentioned that here to qualify myself to this audience.
What I intended to get accross was to use mastery of photography to make the endeavor successful and seem easy.
If she has an easy win, so too shall you.
Thanks for the plan analysis, exactly what I need. My understanding of your plan for her to fail, is this to have her express DLV and then try to qualify to you? Given further thought I think I see that having her succeed would give her a DHV and reduce eliminate the need to qualify to you. Have I got that right? My only thought would be that you would need to show a success for yourself where she fails to demonstrate higher value. Is your DHV based on showing your body of work or by some other method? Please… Read more »

you are exactly right on my status. I have a lot of deep seated conditioning to shake.

It’s DHV to get IOIs, and IOIs to get compliance. With compliance you get to sex.
That’s it. It’s not about photography. It’s not about making her a better photographer.

I’m in great shape, bang girls in their early 20’s and live my life the way I want. **I’m 60, been with my wife for close to 35 years. I stopped reading right here and knew where the rest of this was going. But I’ll highlight a few points: ***I have been a text-book-beta in ALL of my relationships prior. But I wasn’t engaged in beta behavior prior to it actually being a relationship. We’re talking 35… Read more »
“Provision game” fail. Also IQ test fail, but never mind.

Art imitates Life… As I am listening TTS to PalmaSailor’s black and white photography gambit, by coincidence I have a black and white album cover assigned to the mp3 file—which I add to avoid the default tied musical notes and to give me something to look at when I am stuck in traffic. I prefer nudes, not overtly sexual, in interesting poses. In this picture, is a beautiful woman looking straight at the viewer, sitting on the floor, her left leg in an awkward yoga pose, with the top of her foot pressing into and lifting her left breast. She’s… Read more »
Any tips on holding your “mental point of origin” without feeling like an asshole? On Thursday night, this coworker calls me and we have a conversation. At the end, she asks me if we can hang out the next day because we haven’t spent time together in a long time. The next day comes and she is aloof and there is no contact. I wanted to leave, so I texted “are we on?…” Her response is a complete 180′ and basically, “I don’t have much time for you…” I knew this shit was going to happen since I know this… Read more »

Welcome to the Field Reports.
You knew what you needed to do – you just didn’t execute. You should have just left and not given her attention and validation (by asking if you were still on to meet).
Next time execute.
And the way you get better at this is by practicing – on lots of different women. When you have options with plenty of women, this will all come naturally to you.
Look up the beginner resources in this Field Report section and execute.
@Palma: fair enough. But HABD usually says it is good practice anyway so try to turn even a bad set around. The fact she reached out to you is still an IOI, we are talking a woman which slapped your face and you didn’t flinch. I’d say right move there (because 14 is special in a “Provider”, BB way as opposed to say, Halloween which is special in a AF way) is wait until the 15th, then give her some attention and setup a meet for you to proceed to game in person. If she doesn’t bite, you don’t really… Read more »
@PalmaSailor This wasn’t for a date but just to hang out. This women only wants attention, validation and free resources. And yes, she is attractive and I would love to smash it. I think this is why men/women can’t be friends. She uses her beauty to sucker you in. Long time ago she openly told me that she masturbates and gets Brazilian waxes. Now why would you tell a male coworker this information? The reality is that she never wanted to smash but suckered me in with the hopes of seeing that wax job. This is a very well crafted… Read more »
I’m starting to believe the had there’s a invisible cut off date wrt to males having female friends.
It is 100% possible and I think highly beneficial. Women aren’t men and never will be. They are different, and it you’re actually trying to figure them out you will need to interact with them in different levels, not just to get laid.
Then you can bang practically any one of them you’d like while saving yourself time of frustration and angst.
They’ll only ” reciprocate ” if given reasons to do so.
@ walawala & Palma
Your comments are very sobering, you and the other guys have really got me thinking. Nothing quite like brutal frankness.
@Anonymous
Reality check. What kind of blue pill hopes are you still harbouring about this woman? It’s obvious there are some left. Snap out of it, your dreams and wishes won’t be fulfilled. Frustration is all you’ll be getting.
On the red pill side you have the understandings already but not enough strength to act based on them. The anger is good though, if you keep banging your head against the wall eventually it will grow big enough to act as the driving force.
Guys need to learn to not pick up or answer lame texts from woman on feb 13 or 14th. If you have lined something up before then then you’re probably in for a bad time
A sight for sore eyes…
The family was vacationing in the Keys and I saw a jaw-droppingly-beautiful hispanic woman walking down the street clad in a one piece bathing suit. I couldn’t help staring briefly, lol.
Daughter Gamer said that the woman was trolling for looks. I offered that maybe her boyfriend broke up with her and she needed validation. DG agreed.
Guys, Quick question, you may remember me posting about running into an old college acquaintance at a conference about 3-4 months ago and how she had the hots for me basically and we flirted but I didn’t want to mess around as she could be useful professionally. So I’m going to be at another conference soon, and I texted her saying “long time no hear – hope you’re well. Are you going to be at [conference]?” And she replied immediately saying “Good to hear from you…I will be there. Would be lovely to meet up. What are you speaking about… Read more »
Culum FFS… this shit again??? I replied telling her what I’m speaking about and added “I would appreciate it if you could take a look at my talk outline and give your comments” – on the basis that people like being asked their opinion and it may even be useful. No reply at all for two days now. My text game is generally on point but this one really puzzled me. The only explanation I can think of is a bit hard to believe – that she was hoping I texted purely socially (aka to arrange a “drink”/hookup at the… Read more »
that people like being asked their opinion and it may even be useful. Had to lol at this again… Girls that want to be fucked, want to be fucked. This ^^ is what an uncalibrated sperg thinks. You know that. The real hard question – WHY? Why would you do this? why not just say “where you staying?” – cat-o-nese for “you are going to get fucked” and then just say yes let’s have a drink and depending upon how close it is, work logistics or wait to closer… 9 or 9:30 is good. Juuuuust late enough to not be… Read more »
Would be lovely to meet up.
