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.
Aarghhhhh, first should be last, I’m not sure why sometimes it adds them out of order

The internet archive, Wayback Machine saved YaReally’s archive and there is a section of text game for Morpheus here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20150508233609/http://yareallyarchive.com/
And for shits and giggles, here is a post WIA made of a cut and paste of YaReally’s last stand on TRM:
http://www.westindianarchie.com/yareallys-last-stand/
Poor guy, he was good, he just wasn’t that balanced. And then took his ball and went home. Just couldn’t stand being in the same room with old married guys…That one fact didn’t figure. It conflicted with his future raising of offspring.

I suspect because most people know the archive is down there is little activity now. I bet once it got around that it was back up traffic would increase.
The problem with the wayback version is you can’t navigate and search easily.

“Show the backbone” is a useful concept to keep in (front of) mind.
Off to Do Some Work. Some news expected in the next few days about the wife’s new job. If it doesn’t actually materialize, I’ll be relieved on the one hand but also disappointed at losing a key opportunity to show some backbone…
Okay so I went to Do The Work and it happened faster than I thought. Wife had a tentative job offer for this job today (they want her, but the role specifics and salary not yet discussed). So we had a difficult conversation after that and another massive blow up. In some ways closest we’ve had to a Main Event – although not quite there if I understand the concept properly. She did cry and get upset, but weirdly much less so than the previous conversation where she had a proper meltdown. The conversation was mostly civil but the emotional… Read more »
I just re-read what I posted. Feels like I’m missing something fundamental that’s not about which precise position or solution I should choose. Should I just have said (and stuck to): “No, no job here. We are going home this summer”? And soaked up the emotional storm that followed and made it happen? But the thing is – I don’t really want to. I want (for myself) to stay here for a while longer for all the reasons in my post above, and my wife’s job is the only way to do that – I just don’t want to stay… Read more »
@CS Damn, man… Is that your executive summary? Looks like you need to hear about this new cool word Clarity from BlackDragon: Choose one path and come back with your elevator pitch. Then, and only then, answer this: it is genuinely a dream job for her that she has lucked into and she won’t get an opportunity like this again Is it a dream job that every woman REALLY wants? If not… then what else? And why? I could get lucky and salary/job spec discussions could break down especially in this economic climate Smh… Who’s frame is this in? Who’s… Read more »
CS
Negotiation isn’t leading. Anywhere, any forum.
Is it a dream job that every woman REALLY wants?
If not… then what else?
And why?
Did you even think about her as a woman during any of this? About Game at all?
You don’t have the bank built up to just issue commands but you don’t have to negotiate it out. (See what a bad spot it put you in?). For the time being Think about how you can ise game to bring her around.
Hint
change her mood not her mind
And The 16 Commandments especially 9.
You thought you would win an emotional argument with logic… That’s bringing a knife to a gun fight.
@Palma
Black dragon got a lot of things right… buuuut..
Oh that was just a funny interlude for my own amusement (@disgruntled’s comment reminded me of BD). I had a look at where BD is now. Still rehashing old concepts to fit the narrative and keep upselling… this time in the cv context. He’ll milk it while it lasts and then move on.
Sentient points to a good vid, and in that vid is this Beta trap: “Here is my resume! And this resume shows why you should like me and date me!” Yes, this. Modern girls do this too. In the last 4 years or so I’ve had girls in heir 20’s, 30’s and one in her 40’s[1] qualifying to me with their resume, one even laid out a business plan she had. The body language and subcoms was “Here’s why you should like me, and…’. First time it happened I was taken by surprise and just listened & nodded, but it’s… Read more »
@CS Now who is LARPing. You have real world problems that need to be figured into. You are a smart guy and you need to figure your unique situation out. That is why my buddies and I came to distance ourselves from what is going on here. At the end of the day, forum advice is not perfect advice for you. CS: “Whatever decision is reached, I need to establish control and leadership in the marriage – the actual decision or compromise (even if it isn’t exactly what I wanted) is less important than establishing my leadership.” Sentient: “Negotiation isn’t… Read more »
And CS… Despite what I said, what I said is not adversarial to you keeping and holding Frame. You are conflicted. My point is that you resolve your conflicts in your own way. You are not dumb. So don’t always listen to quick tips from column commentariat. Or someone else’s style or particular situation. Keep doing you. Better. Which is not the same as just-be-yourself. You always have the opportunity to be better and better and do things better. Do that. You have it half worked out in your head. And the other half is what comes down the pike.… Read more »
Funny, I haven’t even offered advice. My attempt got eaten days ago. ” compromise ” and ” negotiation ” are loaded terms meaning different things to different people at different times. Neither is capitulation and if approached incorrectly, they will be interpreted that way by all parties involved. It’s a matter of frame intertwined with personality. Being anti-game, or not really understanding how it works outside of the pua definition won’t help. Men aren’t leaves blowing in the wind, lest they get blown into a sewer. Sentient is 100% correct when he asks ” have you considered…as a woman “.… Read more »
I had one woman Qualify herself as single, executive, own home at base of mt Evans and supports her daughter. She was in a bikini and not half bad shaped for an older woman. I picked up on an overbearing side of her personality and asked her if she had a humming bird feeder. She answered no and that said to me she doesn’t love the critters or know how to relax. Not my type for sure,not even to bang! So next I qualified to her how my grandaughter preferred to hang with me as the women folk were to… Read more »
Heh, the executive qualifier is no different than the young ones with their crazy qualifications. They have told me “I’m a single mother”, “I’m studying to be a motorcycle mechanic”, “I’m a combat veteran” and even “I’m a fighter and a pervert”. None of them qualify with anything close to feminine qualities.
Thank you guys (and Blax for repeating/extending the post that vanished). Changed my perspective as usual. You guys are right of course. I didn’t have (and don’t have) enough hand to give orders. That’s essentially what I did in the first conversation a few days ago by saying “I don’t see how this can work” and it led to the warp speed meltdown. Yesterday I didn’t do the command thing, but I essentially approached it as a negotiation and made some reasonable proposals – and, well, we see what that resulted in. At least I held the line and didn’t… Read more »

SJF Rails against forum advice… Gives advice. Lol. CS Can’t copy pasta on phone so some brief points… Showing backbone good. How you do it is important. MPoO, Frame and Game. Especially Game. You’ve not spent the time to game your wife. This is tough ground to reclaim but doable. You need to bring all the weapons though. And how about leading via a vision? Flip it around, if [sex symbol did jour] told her to bag the job and join him in Bollywood… What is she going to do? All the same game principles apply in your situation… Bounce… Read more »

Oh another thing… So consider her putting on make up not as a “tit for tat” so she gets what she wants… But a subconscious reaction to your displaying some backbone…

It just might be… Might be that this evobiopsych stuff is reall amd works on your special snowflake…

@Sentient I don’t disagree with your last two comments. I think CS has his options and his decisions spelled out with his own logic in regards to his job. I think he has to divorce the two issues–figuring out logistics of his and his wife’s job situation over the next three years and his attempts at dominance Game and Dread. He might not be good enough at the latter at this time. I think if he overplays his dominance hand, he could well shoot himself in the foot or have things blow up in his face in regards to job/finances.… Read more »
@SJF and Blax et al – All good here. I’ve become resilien due to my red pill journey. If we don’t completely shit the bed (still a distinct possibility), I’m primed to make a mint off of this. A return to anything near the status quo is a 7 to low 8 figure event for me. Heheheh.

Sentient – thank you. Just starting the process. More later (battery about to die) but I made a start. Today I was trying to kind of “unify” on a positive vision and I told her I wanted her to enjoy this job and do this job and find fulfillment and I liked seeing her excited about this job (all 100% true), but I just had concerns about our connection to Home Town. Then I kind of waxed lyrical about Home Town (building the vision of the yacht etc) about all the memories there and our kids were born there and… Read more »

Started reading Atlas Shrugged,
Meh. Try your fellow countryman Daniel Defoe. Either “Robinson Crusoe” or “Journal of the plague year”. Sam Pepys diary could be a good companion.
Maybe we should all stream Bergman’s 1950’s flick “The Seventh Seal”?

Maybe we should all stream Bergman’s 1950’s flick “The Seventh Seal”? Yeah Just go with the simple easy metaphors. Water the experience down. Atlas Shrugged always went for the jugular of the issue at hand. And The Fountainhead was an easier read. Ayn Rand was a girl. As such she had emotional limitations. Although she wrote like a man. An INTJ man as it was. But with limitations. All her books were Red Pill Man writing.… Read more »

Ok, then Palma. You know the story and don’t need the whole dramadization. And I like your forward practicality.

But me and a buddy of mine got spurred to launch ourselves 40 years ago. A real kick in the ass. You might be jaded now, we weren’t then. But then again, we have no use for Ayn Rand now days, because, guess what? We are jaded with government. Go figure. Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged was a phase. A good one. But it… Read more »

I’ve gleaned wisdom from your words in the past….
but in no way, shape, or form am I abdicating a removal of ones cognitive abilities so they can cope with life.
My suggestion @morpheous was quite the opposite.
Sometimes clearing ones head through a “meditation” of sorts to glean self awareness can be beneficial.

Haven’t we been through this ‘red flag’ with Marquis before? A year ago?
Probably. It’s worth highlighting for any lurker or any man who pops in with no background, though.
Thanks guys. I hadn’t even considered that angle. Mainly because I just can’t bring myself to see this guy as a threat. Sure, I have a ways to go in my journey, but he puts the “b” in “beta”. Literally ticks every box (okay I get that the “security” aspect of beta provisioning is more important in a global crisis so the value of beta goes up compared to more stable times, but still). And IRL is right, we discussed something similar about 1-2 years ago, back when I was seeing the first big jumps in improvement in “marriage quality”… Read more »
@CS: betas can still be a “threat”. Here are a few highlights. By your own admission, his wife is hotter, so he has pre-selection over you (so try to get some dread going on). “By this time my wife was in full on fantasy mode (…)” – beta or not, that is good game on his part, even if unintentional. What you are missing, regardless of whether that particular guy is a specific threat – he does seem to have contributed to instigating her plans to stay in that city, which is now clearly a serious threat to your plans… Read more »
Thanks IAS. Yes, I think you’re right – the “unhaappy” is in full force flowing. I can’t fix that in a week or two – it’s a combination of things like improving myself (especially the physical side – I don’t mean getting ripped, I mean more that it gets to her – noticeably – when I get injured in training and limp around looking weak for a few days or couple of weeks and can’t pick up the kids or take out the trash in that time etc – she doesn’t get that injuries are part of training and at… Read more »

@Sentient – lol. I’ve benefited from “It just happened” too many times to be unfamiliar with it. I can certainly see the risk – even if he’s beta, late one night in the office, glass of wine, etc. I guess my confusion is what to do now. Because as far as I can see I have two options (plus the medium to long term “change her mood not mind with a new vision” option which is optimal but not fast enough): give the ultimatum and lay down the law about going home – but I don’t have enough banked authority… Read more »

when she got home from having a drink (with that guy and his wife as it happens – and I know they were there – I walked past the bar on an errand) and discussing work stuff, she started (because she was a bit tipsy) talking about how we haven’t had sex in a while and she was wondering if I was still interested in having sex (way from covert message to overt messaging)
Ya know what a “fireman” is? He is the guy who puts out the fire…
Take note.

also, ‘watching their kids’ = much lower status than the other dude (or even the girls)… never do this again… not kidding… as well as being tacit approval to your wife’s hindbrain for future cheating…

Thanks guys, harsh but I needed to hear that (especially from IAS). I don’t think my wife is actually cheating (yet), but I have to start taking the possibility very seriously and internalising AWALT (still hard – I get it intellectually but not deep down, when I look at her) and acting on that basis.

Oh also to add – I don’t want to read too much into this, but she changed the passcode on her phone in the last couple of weeks – said the kids knew the old one and were messing with her phone too much and changing settings (so now I don’t know it either). I only started locking my own phone in the last year – before that it was always unlocked. And even now the kids know my passcode (although she doesn’t). But the kids know it is death to mess with my phone and they generally don’t.
“RIP Sir Stirling Moss”
Yeeeeeeeah. Not that I haven’t been aware that that news could be coming at any time for a while now.
Sir John isn’t so Young anymore either.
Jezum crow, I must be old, I remember when he was the new generation of drivers.
When I were a wee lad Caracciola was still alive and kicking. I was born closer to the days of the Silver Arrows than a kid who is 18 now was to Stewart’s last championship.

Lots of good stuff man. You got this. Lots of moves left here.
Worthy of a long response back but maybe tomorrow.
However…
I don’t want to read too much into this, but she changed the passcode on her phone in the last couple of weeks
Now just why don’t you want to read more into this? Hmmmm?
Hit it HABD!!$
CS Now these days, she often comments about how I’m no longer that fit or in such good shape and a small paunch is visible without my shirt etc. IMO that’s Catonese for “you were HOT, I WANT you to be HOT again just for meeee!” I pointed out that I could easily return to that level of fitness (once I recover from my injury) by increasing training intensity again but then she needs to do 100% of family stuff since all I will be capable of doing is training, eating and sleeping (and maybe doing a little bit of… Read more »

“Don’t want to read too much into this”
I been needin a switch up honestly Tell him i don’t know but these days it seems My mans gettin a lil too comfortable He don’t put in the work like he did before And he works all day And when he comes on home He takes off his shoes And he smokes his bowl And he goes to sleep And he’s gone by morn’ With a kiss in the cheek But I’m longing for more But when I’m chillen with you I just feel so alive And you give me this spark I haven’t felt in a while But… Read more »
@CS
I’ve been reacting to her far too much. She needs to start reacting to me a lot more. The nature of it is actually less important – even if her reaction is bad, she needs to be responding to me, not me to her.
Sooooo…. back to basics? Time play The Game at home in HD?
Fugitive-hiding-in-Embassy game? Look who’s got it.

CS Basically whether or not she is ACTUALLY cheating, the path she’s on is leading (rapidly) to a branch swing one way or another and I need to stop that. Hypergamy is a background process that needs stimulus, like the Patellar Reflex. Each woman, and even the same woman but different life stages/external factors has her own “reflex” point. Now most of this is on a subconscious “hindbrain” level. She isn’t aware exactly what is going on. For a while. She just finds herself “doing” some different things. Maybe a glass of wine after work, or sits at a park… Read more »
Thanks Sentient I needed that perspective (and everyone else too – okay guys I take the point about how silly I sounded on the phone code thing). Key takeaways -it’s not just talking about home, it’s giving her Tasks. That’s so obvious but didn’t occur to me (actually, not just about Home – I should just give her Tasks and keep her occupied, so she has less time and focus for his tasks – like the business plan nonsense etc). -Lead men and women will follow in Big Boss Dinner Party to come (again, of course I know this, but… Read more »
she starts giggling and kisses me back. This isn’t really a big deal
This is a big deal! Patterns like this need to be replayed several times a day automatically, not when you just think of them. They continually re-enforce the dgaf attitude.
Of course, always joking about being an “ex-wife” is a hot potato – other teasing is needed. An a little mix of comfort for when she complains about the dgaf attitude.
@kfg
So not “Old and in the way” but more like “Old, fat and in the grey”?
I’m waiting for the Trigglypuffs to find out that they are their own source of co-morbidity. The rationalizations should be epic.
Guys, just to confirm: I should read something into the exchange below right? Some kind of “being hit up by women looking for security during the corona crisis” situation? I just received an email from one of my wife’s friends (back in Home City). NOT copied to wife, only to me. Very friendly and chatty, along the lines of “Hey [CS]..what’s up? Haven’t heard back from [My Wife] to my last message a while ago- how are you and the family coping with the lockdown and corona? We live in crazy times..” I replied with a friendly email – “We’re… Read more »
Thanks Palma. I replied just out of basic courtesy – she’s not a bad person and I have no reason to blank her (and I like her son – I haven’t seen him in a couple of years now but he’s very obviously starved of any kind of male influence and responds to me – he’s a nice kid who is a bit “sensitive” and dreamy and gets freaked out by loud noises etc – kind of the polar opposite of my boy). I did mention it to my wife – “[Friend] emailed me saying hi and what’s up..said you… Read more »
Plausibly deniable ways to establish direct contact are plausibly deniable, right? 😉
What’s I deniable is your wife’s reaction.
Zing! Went the hamster…. 🐹
my wife looked a bit surprised but casual and immediately picked up her phone to text the Friend. All very casual, no big deal.
Lol. Here’s what it looks like inside your wife’s head (being casual)
Need some advice please. I became red pill aware just under two years ago. Got skinned alive in family court, borderline ex, blah blah. Went monk mode for about 18 months, imbibed lots of red pill theory, which was useful in many areas of my life in terms of understanding why things are the way they are and adjusting to them accordingly, and went through the grief cycle that it precipitated. Painful stuff. Resisted putting it into practice with women for the longest time though, but have made a start over the last three months or so. Firstly got in… Read more »
@Asa
Welcome. You’ll do well.
How old is the Norwegian chick?
@IRL Thanks for the reply. She is 32, I am 37.
@Asa Only briefly now, may comment on the oneities later if time permits and others don’t cover it. Have you arranged it for Monday? Or just “next week”? If Monday then just text her that day after lunch “see you tonight around Xpm, look good” or similar. Statements, no questions, not much investment either. The way she responds (or not) tells you her buying temperature. If no specific day then text “let’s meet troublemaker, I can do day1 or day2”. No questions. Give her the time in response to her agreeing to a day. If she says she can’t make… Read more »
ASA Just a quick point along the lines of Mystery Method. Attraction>Comfort>Seduction. You are afraid of one-itis and it lessening your attraction in her eyes. Yet she is already attracted to you. You, both already banged. So you already accomplished the three stages. “Again, this is unprecedented for me for a very hot woman I have met twice and banged once, so my head went a bit into oneitis again. I would also add that after we banged the first time she asked what my relationship status was (not in so many words but you know what i mean) and… Read more »
Lets face it. She is an artist. What do artist women do? Hint: Think with their emotions. Feelings. So give her feelings. Feelings aren’t logical. They aren’t masculine. They aren’t trying to win in Red Pill. God, PalmaSailor. You wake up early in the morning. I sit here late at night and ramble on. For one, what do you think about what I said about giving comfort to the HB Sweed? @ASA I’m not the least bit a player, nor post divorce, pua or such. I’m just a logical guy. You did fine. Just do the walz of what you… Read more »
OK, file this under news from a strange world, but I recently was contacted by Paralegal woman out of the blue…I’m curious from a RP perspective what this might all be about, what’s her real motive for messaging me??? The last contact with her was late October…at the very end things got heated with some NASTY words exchanged in both directions, me texting her to never contact me again, and her blocking me on FB, and again I had an ex GF the Nurse who had originally set us up, and was behind the scenes manipulating the situation. In hindsight… Read more »
F*cking IMGUR, they posted out of order again, the first shown is actually the last as part of the exchange.
It’s mainly about validation and attention and endorphine hits of the “match”. Most don’t look like they claim, and most are older than they claim and this would be very obvious if they met you which is why they don’t. Plus their looking for excuses to ‘reject you’ is an ego protection mechanism to reject you before you reject them (which you almost certainly would). The system allocates a seemingly endless supply of men provided society keeps moving. But if that stops then they end up having swiped left on anything local and the matches stop. The perception of a… Read more »
