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.
@PalmaSailor [With a heavy heart I have to confirm that old friend is the BB. And she’s keeping him in her orbit, he isn’t keeping her in his. She is an alpha widow, but that’s some guy from EE in the past.

@Sentient Lost the interest in writing FRs now that the board is just us… Muh.. so you don’t love me anymore… pout… Actually there’s about 20 people here. So the 4-5 regulars plus 15 or so regular lurkers. Speaking completely for myself, I need to keep it up. I now need tighter game. It’s not that difficult now actually. Shit tests from the current Mrs PS do come in “batches” but they’re very few and far between now.

The guard dog spin up is relatively recent phenomenon, evolutionarily speaking, seems back before WW2 women getting spanked for being out of line was common enough to be a meme of the era.
@Sentient
So far, since I’ve been aware of it! I’ve never met a woman that doesn’t LOVE being spanked.
Realistically he last decade. All of them loved it.
Next party report, It was Thursday again, which means the on-campus party barn opens. First I was deterred a bit, after I just disliked it last time and then got locked down a week ’cause Covid. So I started the evening with a little BBQ on the rooftop, my (female) roommate had invited three friends of hers, who went to the barn straight at 7. After the BBQ I did a small flambé, very nice – and off we went to the barn. There were way less people there this time, they had a small outdoor area and was just… Read more »
Nnn1 I just need to get another idea for more kino routines. I think Kino needs to be way tighter at this club-like venue This merits a long response, which will have to wait. First, kino is a great club in the bag but it’s not magic. There is a tendency as you develop your game to seize on whatever worked last as the new thing, the ticket. So develop the skill but develop it to fully understand the when why and how. Homework – go find and post the Gambler aka Richard La Ruina kino videos, and the intro… Read more »

So sort of update Poland and Bulgaria have actually stopped paying for their gas and so Russia has shut them off. Plus I think Norway has decided not to buy. Though for them I’m not sure it matters. Bc the pipeline goes through Poland to Germany, and Russia doesn’t actually have control of the polish “tap” that means that they can’t physically turn off Poland so instead they have reduced the volume going into the pipe by the equivalent of Polands useage. That means if Poland continue to pull from the pipe before it gets to Germany the ongoing volumes… Read more »

@NNN1: The sport in question has more females than males (at least in the West). As most sports, it has a potential for kino. But really, it’s not so much about the sport. It is something that provides me an opportunity to get proximity to interesting targets, DHV, and give plausible deniability for meeting up, all while doing something that I like so I’m not bothered if I can’t close them. You have pretty much all of that right at your campus. Get to work! I suspect that if you are able to set yourself up correctly, your female roommate… Read more »

NNN1 As a big fan of kino, you are on the right track – BUT – it’s still not a short cut or magik. Here is what good kino will do 1. kino = comfort 2. kino /= arousal [what most guys think] 3.

@IAS – I think this is a great time for you to think about your sort of Game plans so to speak. You’re in a great place and you know enough Game to protect yourself and not mess yourself up (although it will be interesting to see what happens when you meet a woman you have a real connection and chemistry with and you really like).

Oh btw, Gambler’s YouTube channel has a video called My Last YouTube Video from about a year ago saying he’s not going to be making any more videos, because he’s said everything he wants to say over a decade and his videos and books contain all his advice and he doesn’t want to keep saying the same thing in a hundred different ways just to optimize for the YouTube algorithm wanting new content and maximizing clicks etc.
He seems to have branched out into gamifying seduction (lol) and has a series of pickup based video games..

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 […] @Ryan Congratulations on finding the right place. There are a few in here who could pick this up and guide it. You’re in a very difficult spot. At your age / wealth you will be mobbed, and I mean mobbed by provider hunting age… Read more »
^^ just seen @Sentients poast
Ignore any duplications . He can run with this to save confusion..
@Ryan
Notwithstanding the above, @SJF read the thread and just what’s apped me to suggest getting your T levels checked.
Said the way you’re commenting would indicate it could be too low
Yeah I asked my primary doc about getting T script he said it might not be a good idea with the tendency to AFib so once again there I am boxed in. I could get it but I’d be taking a chance.
Having said I’d leave it to @Sentient I’ll pick up this bit because I’ve done this journey and I don’t know if he has. Quite aside from the other journey you’ll have to move in, you have a weight loss journey you’ll need to complete if you want to be able to get hold of significantly younger women on the basis of genuine desire. I had cholesterol, blood pressure, stomach ulcer, hernia, bad back, (suspect low T – I didn’t have it tested) but I definitely had low sperm count and low sperm mobility – which was tested. At 5’5”… Read more »
Thanks much for the red pill advice.Well, I am already off of sugar. Use stevia only.I have reduced carbs but not enough. My main challenge is late night snacking. I think losing 65 lbs. might be too much. But even 20 would make me feel great. I tend to lose pretty fast if I can get aerobic like BB. But my tendinitis tends to flare up when I do. (elder age challenges) However the orthotics help a lot. (especially the custom cast orthotics not the off the shelf ones). But I totally agree that losing weight would be a major… Read more »
Ryan Being 70 is the key issue here, I mean, we’ll have to hit everything all at once, concurrently. This is a year or two project, so don’t waste time. You have a huge leg up, with your experience with women. Need to just keep killing those blue pill demons. Keys to progress… 1) health and fitness 2) Outer Game 3) Game 4) red Pill knowledge 5) Proximity to target female demographic 1) Palma is dead on with the weight. It’s time to take a no holds bar look at things and get that sorted. At least 20lbs overweight is… Read more »
Maybe it’s time for SJF and Rollo to bury the hatchet?
Not fully caught up with all this yet, but only one quick question for Sentient now – why text to ask DT girl to meet up? Not possible to arrange logistics to happen as a follow on from coffee shop or whatever?
OTP
She’s taking a course and work, that’s why logistics didn’t get firmed up in situ and she asked if I still had her number, gave it to me anew, and we left it for the weekend. And I texted Thursday as I was then free.
@PalmaSailor
india might not be the best place to move to after all…

although they do seem to be willing to put their people first…. unlike the us .gov fkers…lol… but that’s probly cuz they have more experience with pssed off constituents than the corrupt pols in us .gov…lol… and that’s even without guns over there…

@Ryan I’ve got to ask what your objectives are? I’m looking at it from here and at 6’ and 225 you’re a BMI of 30. I’ve double checked and that’s where it is. If I’ve got that wrong then say so. But if I’m not wrong then losing 20 isn’t gonna cut it, and you need to lose a full third of your body weight. And stevia, or anything along those lines isn’t gonna cut it. But it just illustrates how far you are away from understanding how much trouble you’re in. So I repeat no processed food. Just for… Read more »
Thanks for the wake up call. What I have gotten out of al this is the following. I have to work on myself. Not only physically with diet and exercise etc. But also in self confidence with getting back into the game. So it is a real challenge here. 1. Run my business and make $$. 2. Upgrade myself and my living space for entertainment. 3. Read up on current game. (can you get some recommended info on this ..books etc.) 4. Take time to deal with health issues while boosting metabolism. 5. All in all…Get my smv up so… Read more »
Follow up. What am I trying to achieve?
Build the company up to sell and then retire.
Keep healthy and fit.
Get some mojo back and dust off my game.
Expand my choices in women.
Enhance my enjoyment of life independent of women.
Stay connected in Faith.
@Ryan
@Sentient gave you a reading list. How’s that going?
I guess it’s all about doing the work now.
Have you started?
If so, what?

@HABD Yeah. Probably not the best time to be a nomad in the Balkans, with nothing but a pocket full of paper with ink on it, and a couple of bits of plastic that purport to give me access to numbers on a computer somewhere – that are supposed to represent something I can exchange for food etc… Old friend called over the weekend – new girlfriend has yet again walked out. We had quite a long call. Included in the conversation was me referring to his observation – he has frequently said over the phone past few years that… Read more »

@HABD Loads of interesting things happening globally, but as far as we’re concerned, it’s baked in I think. As far as killing the thread is concerned = if you wanna kill wood, there’s either the pregnant bill gates emoji, or catching up on this stuff… lol First the RD says that most people in the former Soviet Union had storage under their houses, and also a cat to deal with rodents etc.. (that’s where they had a house as opposed to a soviet apartment) The country did produce plenty of grain but they exported most of it so the people… Read more »

All right doom and gloomers… let’s talk about something important! [GGR homage] Anyhow. Waiting on an outbound flight at the gate. Tight little Asian thing sitting one seat over on her phone. See doll body, D cups. There is a early 20s guy sitting next to her. She’s going on and on facetiming somebody. Strange language. Eventually she finishes. After a while sitting and waiting there is some announcement and we look at each other. I use this opportunity to open. Ask her about that weird language and it’s mongolian ffs.

Palma GGR is Glengarry Glenn Ross, the “coffee’s for closers” speech. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3PESuwYcK04 Which is an ethos all its own, and applicable to game, life… I once did a breakdown of the transcript for Teh Playa Formerly Known as Culum Struan… with pics… in a game context. It’s back in the FR pages… Anyhow, eh… it was before 8 AM, in a terminal, before a flight so not much could have happened but for a destination meet. And her kid was there. And despite being 20, he was anything but grown, as you might imagine. The Thunder guys were literally part… Read more »
@Rollo Interesting. There is the big scream in the FI that “sperm goes off as well” and together with that comes tests and studies where “the men are older”. Along with that comes the studies which definitely – and I mean definitely confirms the above because there is an increased likelihood of problems if the father is “older”. So it’s gotta be him right. Right! Following pregnancy diagnosis, First there is a cheap test, and following that there is the non invasive NIPT which is the non invasive pre natal test which takes the blood of the mother which contains… Read more »
Every old guy I know has a kid with the new wife. I’ve no doubt it’s women not men.
Hell look at the celebs in their 70s, like Tony Randall.

I’ve used your “hand on the shoulder” twice today so let me know where to send the royalty cheque.. and no, I can’t send it in food or bullets, customs have got a stick up their arse about that stuff..

@Palma Congrats on your second child, I’m sure you will handle all trouble the world throws at you. You’ve gotten up too often now (just from what we know here) to fail now. Report on the end @HABD SHTF-situations are where big properties with enough land to produce own food come in handy. We already checked the old wells, all dry but one.
