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.
Why can’t a girl be useful professionally who has had your dick inside of her?
If you don’t go all Aziz on her… she can be a great ally.
Surely she’d just reply and give comments on my talk and wait till the conference to hook up?
whoof!
Culum FYI I had a similar situation… lol Woman in my biz, met at a conference some real strong laser and flirting. Intentional. Talk of getting together when next in city etc. One day she rings me up on some biz thing, we discuss it some. That part of the convo ends. LOOOOOONG silence. I’m like “well Ok then”,. and she says “sooooooooo? Is there anything else you want to ask me?”. I say”no not really. I think that covers it”. After she hung up… the lights went off… lol And yeah she was pretty frosty next time I saw… Read more »
Sentient hanging head in shame Didn’t see it at all. It’s not that I lack the knowledge or even the experience for this. There is no way I would have missed these cues with any girl I met online (or indeed in a club). It goes back to what you and HABD have been telling me for a while now. About being “on” and “off”. I’m too used to being “on” when I’m “Gaming” and “off” the rest of the time. And when I’m “off”, which is most of the time – in professional mode or whatever – then I… Read more »
PS – Obviously no guarantee of turning it around. I started with a huge advantage and blew it and now I have to climb out of a hole. But I think the above strategy is my best bet.
That’s not a bad approach Culum.
Just remember, given the back story, you can inject some “i’ve had a crush on you forever, I can’t fight this anymore” here that wouldn’t work in other contexts. The whole star crossed lovers thing…
But I need to train myself to be “on” all the time.
Nah. Don’t do this.
I’m literally like a different dude on every level – body language, eye contact, subcomms, dominant speech patterns, more provocative conversational subjects..just the works. I really like myself when I’m that guy.
Just do this… BE that guy you like.
Thanks Sentient. Honestly, I just don’t know how to flip that switch. Going on “blitzes” and forcing myself to go out 4-5x a week and walk around etc doesn’t seem to have done it. Player CS seems to come out consistently on online dates (or really any kind of date). Occasionally on nights out with friends or nights out sarging. Sometimes in other social occasions (but rarely – something about being in my “normal” social/professional circle seems to totally block Player CS from coming out – including with this girl – it is far easier when meeting new people in… Read more »
Culum
Sometimes he comes out when I’ve had a few drinks
In Vino Veritas…
Consider that “On” Culum is the real Culum, and the “off ” Culum is the put on one… The fake… Try just not putting the fake back on…
Of course, trying to follow The Platinum Rule [Do what you WANT to do, when YOU want to do it] as much as possible would go a long way towards fixing this. Training wheels.
Very cool… 😎 get him sorted.
@Culum Agree with @Sentient. Sounds like the “off” Culum puts constraints on the “on” (real) self to not fuck up the well-crafted “professional” Culum… that your mom and others wanted to be proud of / would approve of = social programming. So this: But I need to train myself to be “on” all the time. and further “off-site” 400+ cold approaches won’t help now. Because your issue has more to do with cockblocking yourself in your well known ego-invested setups (professional network, friends, family etc.). You don’t want to risk your well-crafted persona, so the “off” guard goes up when… Read more »

What are you speaking about at the conference?” 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.” This sounds like an attention whore I know. She asked, “What are you speaking about at the conference?”… Read more »

@Anonymous

Easy there, tiger. You “everything looks like a nail” and “self-fulfilling prophecy” much?
This type of woman is not genuine. She wanted to meet with you and get free drinks and attention.
Nope. She wanted that alpha stud.
You were approaching this woman with no intentions but she had an ulterior motive.
Still bitter? It’s ok, just let the red pill go all the way down. These whores become cool chicks again on the other side of the process.
The Brit royal family has zero interest to me, but betaized Harry and his post-Wall wifey are an exception. Looks like Meghan has decided to bump up the pot quite a bit, this likely won’t turn out very well.
There’s so many red pill flags around this relationship it’s hard to pick all of them out.

Interesting article, but I disagree ( for me ) with the bulk of it. For instance, I’ve never been a big drinker ( except for a brief time in life ) because it doesn’t ” change ” me or loosen my tongue or make me relax. It doesn’t really do anything other than make me drunk if I have to much. Also, I never approached a woman that was high or drunk thinking about sex because she was high or drunk. NOw, I’ve taken sober chicks out, had a few had sex, but the sex was going to happen regardless… Read more »

The bit that won’t be hilarious is that Harry has had no serious adversity in his life. MM toxicity will be terminal for him.
From way over here MM looks like extraordinary gold digger with a borderline personality problem. Frankly wouldn’t want to get close enough to verify. If she’s at all BP then she’s going to wreck Harry in the process of burning down as much of their marriage as she can. I sure wouldn’t want to ride around in a car with her. Especially through any traffic tunnels in Paris.

Question for Blaximus…and anyone else who has restored an old car. Is restoring a Mustang a “Moby-Dick” of a project to take on? My Son pitched the idea of going halfsies (father-son project) on restoring a 65-68 Mustang (not the fastback). Buying a “rolling chassis” or car in good basic shape but needing time and attention. He believes that such a project could be started with an investment of about $10,000. My first reaction, which I kept to myself, was the price is too optimistic, the work/time required is grossly underestimated, the technical skill is way out of his/our current… Read more »
the sky is the limit on car restorations. I’m Fox mustang guy, which is already ancient tech compared to new cars. If I were to resto a 60’s mustang I’d drop in a stock 87-95 EFI 302 with T5 trans. Update the brakes and drive it. Simple to maintain, parts easy and cheap, reliable.
As a father/son proj I think it’s an excellent idea. Just beware it become like the old story of a kid desperately wanting a dog only to neglect the daily walks etc to become your’s and not his.
IF-I Fell “It’s an incredible father son project.” Second. Definitely do it. Now don’t think you are going to do a concourse level restoration. Come up with a budget and work the car into it. You can get a decent driver quality car together for $15k -$20K depending upon what you can do yourself. Keep it simple, don’t stress the finish quality. Make it start, run and stop reliably. Along the way, you set up the shop, get some tools together, show him how to work the various aspects. Take it to bare metal [just for the experience], then apply… Read more »
” . . . my understanding is that the Mustang of that era is kind of clunky, not fun to drive, and lacking basic safety that we take for granted in modern cars.”
This is the bit that made me sit up and take notice. If you don’t want a pre-90s car for what a pre-90s car is, do not buy an pre-90s car.
@Palma @Sentient, Thanks for the replies. So, I’m somewhat mistaken on the do-ability of the project, but the cost is about what I expected and I don’t have spare money to be deep pockets for such an endeavor—so, I will have to make that clear if this goes further. He is a part-time working, college junior with a working car already—a BMW 3 series that he paid for mostly himself. We gave him a small sum for a “regular car” and co-signed a small stretch loan mostly to help him establish credit. We cover the cost of insurance for a… Read more »

To understate the matter. The 2002 was pricey, but a rock. With the 3 series they went to hell.

Isn’t that a win win?
When was the last time I read ” Caterham 7″?
I don’t think ,most Americans have ever heard of or seen one.

I almost bought a vintage race prepared and licensed original 7 once, but in the nick of time I got better.
If I had stayed in the suburbs with a two car garage I might have ended up building a Caterham, but more likely I would have used one of my FIAT 124s as a donor to build up an ersatz prewar Maserati on a T-Bucket frame.
On the list. This one was very tempting.

Got setup by my neighbor on a date with an acquaintance of hers and was pleasantly surprised by her fitness my attraction to her. We met at a restaurant, she got there early and got us a table. I’ve never been setup before so I was a little thrown off my game. We share a lot of the same interests, had a bunch to talk about but there definitely wasn’t nearly enough man to woman vibe. I also only touched her twice when greeting / departing we hugged. Conversation flowed well, I think there was mutual attraction but I can’t… Read more »

Everything Palma said. I’ll just add we can’t really advise without a lot more details but at first glance looks to me like you didn’t sexualise enough. Or at all.
Catchers
Welcome back. Don’t stress this at all. It was a setup. OK.
Next time someone tries to set you up just get a number then you can take control and run your normal game.
For this girl. Well move on to Day 2. Run your game now.
Be prepared for some BS from her on scheduling, handle it. If you get none consider it a huge IOI.
Enjoy
Catchers
One thing. How did you leave off? Why didn’t you try and bounce her for a drink and run things from there?
Thanks all I actually stopped drinking alcohol entirely even though I rarely drank to begin with. Now, since I haven’t had a drop in nearly a year I enjoy seeing how long I can go. Would hate to break the streak for a girl! I realize this is not normal but I never drank when meeting women where I dance either so its not much of a change but can be very polarizing when out and about. Most assume I am sober or something but I’m not. She replied late the night of that her interest was mutual and we… Read more »
@Catchers “a drink” doesn’t necessarily mean you have to consume alcohol. It’s more about the vibe and environment and setting. Same goes for the girl – she doesn’t actually have to be drunk to quickly sleep with you – the bar and even a few sips of alcohol can be a powerful psychological factor in loosening inhibitions. So I would suggest going for a drink and either you don’t drink at all (make up a joke about being in AA if you need to) or if the girl feels strange drinking without you, get a beer and just barely sip… Read more »

Ginger ale with a slice of lime looks like a couple of things. Glass of sparkling water with a dash of bitters likewise. It’s easy to be sociable with a beverage while avoiding alcohol. A relative of mine used to do this at conventions, and would learn things as other men got inebriated.
@Catchers, Culum: even if he does want a gf, it should be on his terms and not surrendering Frame at the start. Catchers you got a good IOI from her but also you are (still) letting yourself be lead a bit. “When are you available?” “Next Thursday” is not putting yourself as the prize. In a similar situation next time consider whether you should just choose the date yourself and you go “I’m available on Tuesday” of course she can say “I’m busy that day” but she can also then offer the alternative “But I’m free on Thursday!”. That seems… Read more »

You sly dog.
I knew life would change with age, lots of changes, and I might become more invisible to women, especially young women ( over 18, lol ), so is this how it starts?
Nah – it’s an IOI. Basically they are feeling attraction and want to ratify it via “socially conditioned norms”. She’s trying to fit you in.
I usually just say “it’s not the years it’s the miles” so they can check their box “I asked!” And get back to the feelz.
Culum I don’t think wanting to not mix my personal and professional life is really a function of repressing myself. Of course. But what’s the excuse for repressing yourself when you aren’t in a professional setting? Like on line for lunch, walking down the street etc. Repression becomes the norm. Then you have to gig up a Big Event With Purpose to break out of it. Instead ACT without repressing yourself all the time and THEN you can consciously turn it down when ina professional setting.

Also, says, he has autism and stuff, or do you think he is faking?
I am just curious, you’d have to be really messed up to do that, its not even pranks or anything,where it would make more sense.

He posts every video on r/seduction, that’s where i found it. Plus, I don’t think the guy is black pilled incel, just a non pilled incel.

I actually don’t particularly like oral (it is really difficult for me to orgasm from it, for example) and I’m not gonna bf her up regardless, which I don’t even think she wants me to (but we will see).

Featured snippet from the web
Drapetomania was a conjectural mental illness that, in 1851, American physician Samuel A. Cartwright hypothesized as the cause of enslaved Africans fleeing captivity.
The way women and society at large is akin to Drapetomania. Because men are fleeing the plantation, we must be sick.
drapetomania
Noun
(uncountable)
•(dated) an overwhelming urge to run away (from home, a bad situation, responsibility, etc.)
Usage notes
•Today recognized as pseudoscience and an example of scientific racism.
Origin
Coined in 1851 by Samuel A. Cartwright as a mental illness that caused black slaves to flee captivity. Ancient Greek δραπέτης (drapetes, “runaway slave”) + μανία (mania, “madness”).

Going back to my date experience, I asked her availability after D1 as a guage to see how interested she was. We went out Thur night and if she says, “How about Saturday?” then I’d calibrate and execute. Unfortunately she suggested a week later and I got burned. Last time a girl did that I replied “lol”.

@Catchers: you only get burned if you are outcome dependent, so try not to be. She suggest only a week away? If it is good for you book it, but otherwise, LOL, like you said you did to someone else. You can just DHV, spike her emotions, and ask her out again when you are available and when you want to. If she keeps dodging your suggestions, the medium is the message. If she can only book you in so far out in advance, the medium is the message. Flaking becomes higher probability as well. If you see her out… Read more »

But so true. Tech conferences are the same.
I even had a gay guy open me by complimenting me on my shoes yesterday (really)
@Culum: that gay dude had the balls to open you.
Use your balls (which you also have) and open the girls you want to open, particularly those that give you blatant approach invites.
Attractive girl goes out of her way to pass close to you, STOPS, ECs and smiles demurely, and you don’t even say hi? She must have felt super rejected 😛
@IAS – it was a professional conference, not an actual nightclub (says the man who made the nightclub comparison in my last post!) but I take your point.
Actually I saw her a while later hanging out with one of the most high-profile and important guys at the conference (I think she probably works for him) so talking to her and getting intro’d to him would have been super useful professionally too..
@Culum: nobody here is suggesting you should have pulled her into the WC and banger her there, either…
Stop shooting yourself in the foot! Others alphas, and other high value (to you) betas will like to join your group if you have 2 or 3 hotties around.
@IAS
Thanks – I reached out and she’s busy tonight but mentioned she’d love to go if she didn’t have plans.
I responded nearly an hour later “np we’ll have fun thurs” and she “loved” the text.
More data points… I’ll figure something out Thur and continue to meet new women in the meantime.
Mustang Update Thought I could perform two tasks at once, but got one done, had a blast doing it. So, I challenged my Son about wanting to buy and restore a car he had never been in or driven. He found a couple of places that would rent a vintage mustang—to an old guy. One place limited mileage to 50—nope. Anyway, found a deal that would allow hundreds of miles—yes!!!

@Palma: that slap was hilarious, you didn’t even flinch. I must have stared for a couple of seconds.
A pity she hasn’t opened up (her legs) to you, she had a nice rack.
You did well in ignoring her. I think going to those meet ups is not in your best interest anyway. You do better with better targets with less investment just going to random bars!
@Palma Yes, it was. I hope that you get to drive one soon—especially with a reconciled son. The Mustang is a small car by American standards—just has a huge engine for its size. In Britain it would probably seem large compared to a Mini and the like. I could never have afforded the project either in time or in money. The funny thing is that I own a house of the same vintage and do most of my own maintenance and repairs. Too bad he’s not into that! Plus, I just got the news from the Tax Accountant that we… Read more »
“The one thing I’ve never driven is a big arse American muscle car.” The original Mustang was actually intended as an American alternative to the TR6 built on a compact sedan chassis, but Shelby started pulling the straight sixes and stuffing V8s in there. Then over the years their size increased, but they were never anywhere near as big as a real muscle car. Hence the term “pony car” was coined. To give you an idea of how big a real muscle car is, I once couldn’t find my Mercedes 4 door in a parking lot, because it was parked… Read more »
I’m too much of a newb to offer any game experience or advice, but I am a car guy and into Mustangs. Older muscle cars are fatiguing to drive. I took out a 396, 4 speed Impala that had torque to the moon. City driving was tiring, carburetors routinely give off raw fuel smell. If I were projecting a 60’s Mustang I’d restomod it with modern brakes, engine, engine management etc. For Mustang’s look at the Agent 47 site and take a look at the Harbinger. You could pick and choose components without going full 427 retard and have a… Read more »
Mike Smelling fuel or oil is a maintenance issue. When new, these cars didn’t give off excessive odors, hence to importance ( and cost ) of a full or at least semi restoration. I have a 70 hemi cuda, matching numbers 4 speed. I put it away in the fall every year, and bring it out in spring, causing a small crowd to gather in my driveway each April. Men and women alike. I’ll spend about 4-5 hours prepping for first start ( I store it in jackstands with no gas or water/antifreeze ) and check for any leaks. It… Read more »
Lol, they didn’t have stuff like this when I was younger….

But anyone can have a ” classic ” mustang now.

If you have several thousand dollars to expend on something else you and your son might find this experience interesting. The ultimate in defensive driving skills. I know some men who have gone there with brothers / sons and they had a blast, improved their skills. But it costs.

😂 In New Jersey we have the highest insurance rates in the nation, along with sky high property taxes.
Every car in the household averages 300 a month.

My uncle paid for me to have 5 lessons at bondarant in Cali back in the 80’s. To this day I use much of the stuff I learned there. A lot of what they teach should be mandatory for anyone getting a license, and it’s fun in top of that.
@Palma Great FR. I think you seem to end up between the two stools of older women (who you don’t want but know how to get) and younger women (who you haven’t figured out yet – I strongly suspect that this is just a mental block and if you treated them exactly like the older women it would be absolutely fine). Whereas I’d probably go into heart palpitations with cold approaching but once I’m talking to a girl (when I’m “on” anyway) I have zero problems with her age, no matter how young she is. They all get exactly the… Read more »
Palma You’ll get there. I made a woman cry last night. Stay for the punchline. She was a very fit well put together early 60s having a $40 wine and snack happy hour. Got to talking with her, not to pick up mind you. I mentioned she wasn’t married. She said no she was recently divorced. I asked her about the single scene around these parts. She says she isn’t a part of it. She’s just taking some time for her. So – and this is pretty common and contra the – she’s unhaaaapy divorce rape blah blah manosphere bleating… Read more »
@Palma
LOL@ “I can turn the hot water off from my phone” – talk about a good gambit!
I’m definitely flying back that way after finishing my year in Asia so will see you then.
Unless this corona virus business turns everything into a full-on apocalypse Stephen King’s The Stand type stuff..
Thanks PalmaSailor! I liked your make a business out of it tactic. Anonymous Reader Bondurant tip. Blaximus for adding “number matching” and restomoded to my vocab. He’ll need to take the lead role on this after he’s 25 if he’s serious, due to the insurance. Still, had fun.
Sentient She said no she was recently divorced. I asked her about the single scene around these parts. She says she isn’t a part of it. She’s just taking some time for her. So – and this is pretty common and contra the – she’s unhaaaapy divorce rape blah blah manosphere bleating – I ask her what happened. “Not All Divorces Are Like That” as an argument, really? Lol. The number you are not thinking of is “70%”. Not “50%, not “60%”, but “70\ %”. Probably in another 5 years or sooner it will be “75%”. Barbie says math is… Read more »
@Anonymous Reader
I don’t think Sentient would disagree with most of that. No doubt he can speak for himself but my reading of that story was more like “it’s also possible for it to happen like this” – not that it’s the only way for it to pan out.
Also, if her husband was able to get a 26 year old girlfriend in his mid 60s, he was likely alpha to some extent at least…
Palma Yup, numbers matching is referring to the engine and transmission being original to the car. The serial number will confirm that,and the build sheet tells what options were ordered from the factory. For market values, numbers matching original equipment cats demand premium prices, even when unrestored, because they can be brought back to factory fresh condition. My car is about an 80 point restoration ( out of 100 ) because a couple of things aren’t factory grade – the vinyl roof is different from atock, factory offering, as is the carpet. Over the years I’ve replaced practically all of… Read more »
Culum my reading of that story was more like “it’s also possible for it to happen like this” Thank you for showing the readership what not having Asperger’s looks like. [Golf clap] Also, if her husband was able to get a 26 year old girlfriend in his mid 60s, he was likely alpha to some extent at least… Exactly. This was the punchline. A 67 year old dude taking up with a 26 YO girl. I know a lot of divorces that happened like this, and most the wife was shall we say blameless – just got old. My favorite… Read more »
Oh – the other point. While. $500k condo in a golf and tennis club is not as satisfying to the Women Hater Club as that bitch living out of a car… To women like this – who love a guy and get tossed over – it’s almost as bad. Because they want the guy. Not the stuff. They like the stuff sure, butit doesn’t replace the guy. Doesn’t anybody Alpha Widows anymore?
They are all numbers matching, but not highly restored.
Highest value. All original. No respray.
Also depends on collector community – some are more zealous than others in this regard – Porsche, Ferrari, Mustang, Mopar and Corvette being good examples. Ferrari manuals and tool kits sell for five figures.

Thank you for showing the readership what not having Asperger’s looks like.
what the f*k!!!???…lol
take that back… i got your point just fine…lol… and it was a good data point… which i believe was YOUR overall goal…lol
buuut, to give AR some credit, IF that dude WAS an alpha stud (and didn’t just luck into a one-off), he wouldn’t have ‘ended up’ with one of her ‘friends’ (presumably around her age and condition… hmmm, i wonder if HER numbers match?…lol)… unless it was her ‘friend’ the hot 30’s tennis pro at the club…lol
good luck!
