Field Reports

lion-chasing-gazelle

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.

@Centuries CC asked me to meet up briefly early this evening to reiterate that she wants to just be friends. I don’t know what to make of that -I nearly said get her free fix of attention – but someone else may be able to read more into it. @Captain Spock? Seems fucked up to verbalise that as the purpose of the meet. Meet you to reiterate that she just wanted friendship. There’s a worm in my head that’s saying she’s offering you proximity yet again so you can bust a move. But either way kicking her to the kerb… Read more »

Linking in to Palma: It’s right, people (especially ones who might feel like competing with you) will dislike your success, maybe because it reminds them of what they actually wanted to achieve but never really did. Now, again a micro field report: Last Tuesday I had another exam and – as it is the unwritten rule – that means partying afterwards as everybod is on campus. So as we stand in the park partying a bit, I meet a girl, A. (now this might get confusing, she’s not the french one. Had a nice chit-chat in the group. And apart… Read more »

Centuries Listen to Palma. On attraction switches, the biggest and best is pre-election, being wanted by other women, because that assumes all the others. A guy with lots of preselection has lots of options and doesn’t do things like this: “. I told her no way can I be just friends, I’ve vowed not to do that again and related a real story of a girl that I have been friends with and how it went badly for me.” Anyeah your social circle is going to react guys the most in a negative way. Bone right the women may SAY… Read more »

@Sentient I’ve been stumped on the pre selection thing for a bit because on the face of it, it’s protection and food. Why should pre selection be so strong? And we’re studying basically the motivations that are still with us that happened in caves. Because when this temporary glitch is out of the way, it will still be the same things in play that will protect the future of the species. – protection and feeding of the host parent while the offspring matures. The idea that you feed and protect a woman doesn’t seem a big deal right now but… Read more »

Yes preselection is a short cut on diligence. And women are herd animals – fashion, culture etc.

Preselection implies the other attraction
switches:

Leader of men
Protector of loved ones
Successful Risk taker
Ability to emote

Of course the power of preselection is squared by the attractiveness and quantity of women demonstrating interest.

As I’m sure you see when out with RD.

Also, Palmasailor, preselection runs into the modern girl world just fine: “Oh, he has a girl, so he can’t be too inept in bed, has some basic skills, not a psycho axe-murderer”. All of these are rationalizations, of course, and can be utterly false, but the firmware in her head doesn’t actually think, it just sees patterns. IMO this is why the jealousy scenes mentioned by many Game authors work, because “If she has him, I want him” is a primal brain pattern. Women even now are willing to share a man they perceive as Alpha because way back in… Read more »

Hahaha@ Palma’s “Captain Spock”. Only thing I will add to Palma’s last post to Centuries about the girl asking to clear the air and meet up to reiterate she just wants to be friends etc: This has nothing to do with giving herself proximity or having any latent interest in Centuries that can be kindled from an ember to a flame. That would be true if a girl was doing that to Palma – because we know Palma is not the kind of man who gets friend zoned.

I would set up your spare room the way you want. I would keep it casual regarding you son and the spare room. make him aware of it and offer it as an option for him but no direct implications. When I discuss CC with my older son he is fine but he is not very comfortable at all with physical proximity when I discuss meetups with CC. For instance after what happened this weekend he wouldn’t get in the car until I told him we hadn’t been in my car.

P. robustus may have had a harem society similar to modern forest-dwelling silverback gorillas, where one male has exclusive breeding rights to a group of females, as male-female size disparity is comparable to gorillas (based on facial dimensions), and younger males were less robust than older males (delayed maturity is also exhibited in gorillas).[73] However, if P. robustus preferred a savanna habitat, a multi-male society would have… Read more »

Some ignore it and are hardly ever bothered by others. that’s been pretty much my experience when out and about… the only exception i’ve had is in med service settings… those folks get a dictator complex…lol It’s Milgram experiment playing out in various forms after… Read more »

Field report Have a look at the following tinder interaction with a 23 yo Lithuanian https://imgur.com/a/QPipuB3 Started 5 days ago and I finished it 5 days ago after not answering any of her questions and she re started it yesterday after 5 days. Bear in mind she will be being literally mobbed with probably hundreds of emails telling her how HOT! she looks. And I won’t answer any of her questions so she’s juuuust on the hook but wriggling like fuck and could easily be lost with one beta move. The hamster is pushing hard to find out my university,… Read more »

One other thing – in terms of maximizing results on the sugar sites (same principle would apply on Tinder I suspect with younger girls, just less blatant), the trick was to straddle the middle ground. If you go full simp/sugar daddy, then sure you’ll get plenty of attention and dates as a provider, but for obvious reasons that is not what you are looking for. But I think you’re actually going too far in the opposite direction, at least online. It’s not such a big issue in person but online it could be. When I went hard in the opposite… Read more »

One was 20. The other was early 40s. Exactly the same dynamic (both single mothers incidentally, trying to tell me they needed the money for their kid).

Seems clear enough. Since both were SB’s they’d probably run that riff on multiple men; once paid off, they really lost interest in the Beta.

When they tried to slot you into BB and you refused, the switches in their head flipped to “Alpha!” and the rest just rolled downhill.

@Anon – yes, exactly. That was the mechanic in play. It didn’t always work – I usually weeded out the outright gold diggers before getting the date stage (the odd one sometimes slipped through and I had a horrible date with no lay) but I had a fair few who basically ended up sleeping with me because I was there and it was convenient and sure they enjoyed it (and so did I), but it was not real desire sex (this was not correlated to age btw). The true desire sex ones were (of course) the best. Especially those two… Read more »

Wife went through massive dread event following the realization I had been in the back seat with CC, she found out everything. I was drifting back to blue pill shit with CC so I kicked her to the curb politely. Wife stopped eating for 1 week lost weight and started banging me almost daily.

I am in my late 50’s – I said no because blue pill shit is no way to go through life and I was clearly not fully ready to manifest a red pill relationship with her – it has the potential to destroy oneself – I also backed off to minimize the impact on my woman of many years.

The original challenge stated that I was to complete the 400 as quickly as possible, and that it could be reasonable done in a weekend. However in my case, I found that it was much tougher than I anticipated it would be. The first weekend I went out and attempted the approaches was rough, and I would consider only 40 out of the 80 approaches I did to be “good”. I decided that at this rate, one weekend was… Read more »

That is like asking a tennis player what the point of practicing his serve for a week is, if he doesn’t actually win any matches that week.

He does it for the same reason Lumen did his challenge – to work on a specific sticking point and develop a particular subset of the overall Game skills he needs to seduce women. He won’t do this forever, he can move on now to closing, but skillsets are best learned by breaking them down into manageable chunks and then integrating them.
