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.
Next bigger social event will be a birthday party I launch with some friends of mine when back home. Specials will be woodstove pizza and Barrique-Cider lol. Till then I’m working the west-coast. But in between I’m checking the german news, climbing from one embarrassing news to the next apocalyptic announcement. Newest hotness is German .gov quasi-nationising the Rosneft-led refinery in Schwedt, till now virtually solely-run on Russian pipeline crude. In spring Habeck announced he wanted to shut off the pipeline around October, now they say 1. January, which is an EU-embargo, so they will probably stick to that. Apart… Read more »
@NNN1 Gas storages were filled, which to me seems like a miracle, but who knows. don’t be mislead here… the ‘storage’ they are talking about isn’t a complete reserve for the winter… it only acts as a buffer (to smooth out the demand curve which might exceed the pipeline capacity for delivery) for high demand load when needed and then fills back up when demand is less… over the winter, it gradually depletes… bc the ‘demand is less’ level is still higher than average usage… And then: Where’s HABD’s new challenge? you probably weren’t around about 3 years ago when… Read more »

@Palma Cheers on that venture! I always am reminded of my great grandfather who had to sell tremendous amounts of property and housing for nothing but a few Mark in the great crisis of the 1920s. Because in that situation, far too many need money and sell off their properties, while only very few really buy one. So you probably have already included that in your calculations, so yeah … just to mention it. @Sentient Probs on that move, you might want to post the other reports as well? – Even just for the vibe of the FR section… @habd… Read more »

@NNN1 Because in that situation, far too many need money. So you probably have already included that in your calculations, so yeah … just to mention it. Actually what I think is going to happen is inflation / stagflation. Which is what happened here in the 70’s during the oil price / problems we had them but worse.

@Catchers Lots here, and alarm bells are ringing, both in terms of her, and in terms of you. Feels like you’re at a certain stage and want something in life and you’re trying to fit the woman you have into the box you want, as opposed to her being the correct woman. I did that with the second wife. I woke up wanting a family, and married the woman I had at that time as opposed to dealing with it properly. It was an expensive mistake. My gut is you should bounce her. That’s gut after reading your poast. Which… Read more »

@NNN1
I recommend cancelling the order for the ring right now.
The current Mrs PS doesn’t have an engagement ring. I didn’t buy one. She does have a wedding ring which is a band and was bought based on its weight. About €60.. I don’t remember precisely, I told them to keep the change.
Catchers…
Oh boy… Oh boy… this is a 2015 era RT post in the making…

Simply stop dealing with her and move on. Far to much going on here to salvage, both you and her. More specifics tomorrow, but net net – STOP!!!
@palma “Feels like you’re at a certain stage and want something in life and you’re trying to fit the woman you have into the box you want, as opposed to her being the correct woman” I think you hit the nail on the head here – really resonated with me. I’ve struggled to find the “correct woman” and feel a bit lost in that department.

@Catchers: that you even have to ask just shows how far out of your depth you are. Don’t marry her, and more than that, don’t have kids with her. She is probably “saving the best” material right there – read this: https://therationalmale.com/2013/12/03/saving-the-best/ Now tell me, how does this make you feel? How to explain it… You know she is in her epiphany phase (right?) and from the group of friends she trusts it really seems she used to be a party girl through and through.

I won’t have time to look properly until Saturday morning GMT.
Bounce her. Apart from anything else it stinks of BPD. Plus she’s too old to give you a family. Plus you are in the wrong place.
You pushing for exclusivity telegraphs lack of options so this thing is headed down the shitter.. very fast..
You need a 25 y/o.., and you need to work on you in order to get one.
Getting a 25 y/o will mean a mental reset, and you’re gonna have to want it enough to do the work.

Interesting question – I guess my plan depends on what my goals are moving forward. I’ve already been through the phase of breaking through some of my conditioning and facing the ugly truths of intersexual politics but obviously I have more to learn.

You vetted her fine.
Uh no. Not at all..

lol watched that Jordan Peterson clip….. seven minute word salad on how to tiptoe around saying NO.

It’s not BPD catchers… It’s default wiring, they all do it. Just a matter of how hard, how often.
You need to work on you, what you want, how you will get that and what it will cost other people who get in the way.
That unicorn virgin sundress trad girl is just as bad deep down if given the opportunity. I know.
So “vetting” is ultimately a fools errand if you lack the means to deal with the issues.
But this is the manosphere and guys will hunt unicorn instead of self improve.
@sentient Catchers, I’d be surprised if she didn’t during your ‘romance”. It is what it is. After she returned from the bachelorette party we tried to work out our differences but she was mostly unwilling to budge. She did express regret for not staying in touch and digging her heels in but held on pretty fiercely for the “right” to go to future bachelorette parties. She did promise no more clubs or similar activities but I took them as vacant promises considering she has little self control around these friends + drinking and had no remaining trust in her.

For a change of pace – how about a couple FRs? Took a couple weeks off after the last relationship and decided to get back to going out dancing.

Actually european electricity and gas consumption have greatly declined, as energy intense industries are shutting down – which is exactly the best solution when adressing more power supply is not… Read more »
Catchers I was hoping for another opportunity to dance with them both in order to move the conversation to a point where I’d grab either of their phone numbers Good for you getting back to it. Here, you have to forget about DANCE, the objective is to use dance as a dhv to then leverage. So once you have attraction you bounce them to a quiet area of the venue, have a drink, lock in, let those jealousy plot lines play out and look to close… you don’t keep dancing. Some tweaks, some ruthlessness and you could be killing it.… Read more »

You know they’re not there to dance right?
@NNN1 Two-step, waltz & polka dancing to country music mainly. @Sentient @Palma Thanks for the tips – I think if I examine my motives honestly I’m buffering out of fear of rejection for a couple of reasons. I feel like if we can get 2-3 dances over the course of a couple of hours I can generate attraction & familiarity, I can dhv w/ my dancing skill and get a better sense for attraction level then move from there. This includes more eye contact, dancing closer / more seductively etc. I refuse to be one of these guys asking women… Read more »

@Catchers
@Sentient & @ HABD have now covered all of it really so I don’t have anything to add except to underline my initial comment which is that you have a lot of work to do on yourself first and foremost:
I’m buffering out of fear of rejection for a couple of reasons.
Who is the prize ?
The work needs to be done on yourself first and foremost. If you don’t consider yourself the prize, why not? And what are you going to do about that?
Amen to what Sentient said – that feeling of the vibe changing is amazing. I’ve only done it a handful of times (once on cold approach and a couple of times on online dates with potential sugar babies who flipped after realizing they couldn’t make me a beta provider so I must be alpha) vs the dozens of times I’ve fucked up a sure thing, but it feels great.

“It was entertaining to see my wife create something out of nothing in her head unless I missed an IOI from the girl that my wife saw”
Probably just her hamster spinning itself up out of nothing, but I do note that I learned more about IOIs from my wife than from all other sources combined.
When she suddenly appeared out of nowhere to clutch me possessively I knew she had seen something that I had missed.

she was too young to address me by my first name and that she was too informal with me
Anything your age minus 27 is fine to suck your cock provided its over 23 or so.

Serious question, and I wonder why no one else brought it up:
Why do you always reassure your wife about you loing only her? I mean, you could have left a little doubt in that, because you killed all that dread off right when you assured her…
Hahaha – thanks guys! Learning experiences come out of nowhere.. @NNN1 – this is a good question. Basically, because it was a “comfort test” rather than a “shit test”. In essence, it was not her challenging my frame and testing me to see how I react. It was her seeking genuine reassurance from a position of vulnerability. Distinguishing between the two can be tricky because the words can be identical – you have to go on the emotional vibe and attitude underlying it.

@Palma The wholesale share of Natural Gas in Germany for primary energy was 27% in 2021.

Keep in mind I here did not mention Oil imports, but only gas. So 30% of 27% is 8.1% – which is even short of 10%. Saving 10 % doesn’t sound like a lot, still it is quite hustle to get there.

You’ve crossed the rubicon between the have’s and the have not’s
90% of men never get there – congratulations!!
The mentioning the husband thing with Catchers made me think back to a recent situation I didn’t write about. I was gaming a girl from my social circle (the same social circle as N=3, they know each other) in a situation where N=3 wasn’t around, another girl, target J (and her bf) were around, and this target A. Target J was probably sending me some IOIs as well as her relationship with the bf was falling apart (they were passing by and it lasted maybe 1 more week after they left my location). Target J is super hot (probably an… Read more »
Huge difference between getting #s up and finding and getting a wife and children, like @CatchersIndifference. Red Pill is ephemeral. And transitory. Best advice for Catchers’ is to look into Married Red Pill. Including the so called side bar at Married Red Pill reddit if it is still available. I think the reddit forum has gone to shit. I haven’t checked in a while. And Subscribe to a red pill maven (A person who has special knowledge or experience; an expert. A self-styled expert in a given field.) called Rian Stone. Find him on Youtube. And perhaps his newsletter. Or… Read more »

@CatchersIndifference Before, my success criteria was dancing the entire time and now I’m being more selective while time boxing my time at the venue and working towards shifting my mindset to see myself as the prize instead of the women I’m attracted to as the prize. “great!… and what is the logical outcome for THAT in an intersexual dynamic encounter?… in evo/bio/psych terms?…” At first glance I don’t know and could use some help. that’s the FI pushing on you again… AF is ‘a couple of minutes behind that bush over there’… = desire secs… with NO provisioning… BB is… Read more »
@Catchers For a bit of fun there are these two imaginary guys: First one is 34, he’s been good with women all his life, he has an N count of well over 100, but is blue pill. He wakes up one morning after a night out and decides that he wants a family but he doesn’t have a gf. It’s relatively easy for him to pull a woman who he thinks is a “decent woman” and he thinks he loves her, and she’s age appropriate and all that stuff and so he marries her and she gets pregnant. She’s the… Read more »
@Palma So catchers… What’s your opinion of those two imaginary guys? How real do you think those scenarios are, and which guy would you rather be? My opinion is that these are both you in different stages of your life and I appreciate you sharing your story with us. It’s plain as day that I’d take option 2 in a heartbeat and to be honest the description of the simpler life is very alluring & comforting because I essentially live the same way – just without the pregnant 25yr old partner that’s in love with me. I can see why… Read more »
@Catchers:
“late 20’s / early thirties”
Beware. Early 30s are already epiphany phase. Pay close attention and you will already notice the difference between mid 20s and these. It is just not as stark as mid 30s, late 30s. It is gradual and will vary with the individual woman, but it is there.
@CatchersIndifference Oh, I’m definitely giving myself reasons not to close – make no mistake. There is some regret mixed in there around why I didn’t sleep with the last couple of women I’ve interacted with because I’m still logging all of the key moments in interactions (while they’re happening) to gauge their progression but not escalating unless I see long-term potential. really feel that FI hand on your shoulder… this is a BP paradox… you can get to AF desire secs after starting out BB…BUT it is MUCH harder… and requires MORE game to change from BB attraction secs to… Read more »
Catchers Not a pile on 🙂 First – take this in… it explains just about everything that’s important in how the world works in this life. First prize is a new Cadillac, second prize is a set of steak knives, third prize is, you’re fired… Where did you get that term from? Define high value.. for yourself more than me.. A high value man exhibits the traits of someone that women would want to procreate with at a basic level. I know why HABD asked you this, and why you answered it like this… Because an answer like ” a… Read more »
Catchers – you are getting great advice but I just wanted to add a couple of quick points which may help make things clearer (I hope): Although AF/BB are mutually exclusive (at any given point in time) from a girl’s perspective, from YOUR perspective, the best way to get to a loving family/wife/kids/picket fences/suburban dream (which is a great goal btw – it’s a fantastic feeling when I get home from work and the kids run up to give me a hug and my wife has dinner on the table), is to get really good at being the AF, having… Read more »
Oh and Catchers – one other anecdote which reset my mindset even more than the 18 minute lay – a couple of years before the 18 min lay, when I was a LOT less experienced, I got my first true “desire sex” – the details aren’t important, but a decently attractive HB7, met online, 1 hour in a bar and she was draped all over me, and for the first time in my life I saw enough small IOIs to really push the escalation like in the Reddit stories and got her into the restroom and she pretty much pounced… Read more »
Good stuff OTP…
Or in other words – you need to go THROUGH the “sleeping with lots of girls quickly” stage and not skip it by telling yourself “I will only go for girls I see a long term future with” – you only get to do that when you come out of the other side with the skills you need.
That was my experience…
“Ya want to work here… CLOSE!”
“I can go out there TONIGHT, make myself fifteen thousand dollars! TONIGHT! In two hours… can you?”

From “female dating strategy” Reddit: What is a high value man? There’s been a lot of miscommunication about what constitutes a high value man. A lot of useless men think they’re high value because they just assume they should be and so act entitled to sex, attention and care from a woman. A common misconception is that while women are the gatekeepers of sex, men are the gatekeepers of commitment. The main, important caveat here is that while most women actually are the gatekeepers of sex due to women’s inherent sexual attractiveness, a lot of men aren’t gatekeepers of commitment.… Read more »
@Catchers Your toes are over the edge of that same cliff that 34 yo ^^ had his over 20 years ago, and it’s a nasty fall. This is how bad it can get, this is the letter to the court written by that guys son: https://imgur.com/a/ITc0MTE (@HABD / Sentient… feel free to comment on the letter, it’d be interesting to get your take..) Step back, it really is a cliff edge.. that means that my advice (which you haven’t asked for) is stop dating women with the objective of having a family. That approach will blind you. I asked what… Read more »

Palma Great advice for Catchers. On the letter, we keep it real here… Actually it looks like something a son of a hard headed prick would write. Apples and trees. 🍎 🌳 So you should feel proud on that level. No early teen boy wants to be in the middle of a shit storm and they will flow to the easiest path. O$ten that path is sitting home, being online. I’ve seen that with my own son at times, and his friends. They are spoiled and lazy in way we won’t ever understand. So here, between the hassle of travel,… Read more »
LOL@ the “female dating strategy” subreddit FAQ. Why don’t they cut out all the waffle say and say “we want a provider because the women writing this FAQ are over 30 and have rationalized away the choices we made in our 20s”?
@PalmaSailor re the letter… +1 on what @Sentient said… but also, there was obviously coaching/dictation involved… probably by mom… with step-dad chiming in… ‘bottom of my heart’… and when was the last time you heard a teen boy use the word ‘amazing family’ on his own…lol and the term ’emotional blackmail’ isn’t something kids recognize until they are older… they get the concept, but to label it as such in situ is generally outside of their thought process… kids are usually even more solipsistic than girls…lol… and that is a third person concept… and how is the russian going?… if… Read more »
Don’t talk about the mother and don’t blame the son
this is still the best distillation of RP for post-divorce dads i’ve seen…
good luck!
Just for the record, 50% odd of what he’d said about me wasn’t true; for instance I’d never offered him a motorbike, as if… I’d nearly killed myself on one so that was never gonna happen. I’m sure it was in his head, but it wasn’t put there by me. And on the travelling thing, he loved it. Until he was told he didn’t, and he shouldn’t do it because it was “too dangerous to travel on a train”. But there we are. That’s one of the consequences of being blue pill and marrying the wrong woman. You don’t actually… Read more »

I’m sure it was in his head, but it wasn’t put there by me.
It was likely mom…
“Your father told me that…blah, blah…motorbike…blah…blah…but that’s just emotional blackmail…and you’re too smart to fall for that (with the emotional to threat in place)…”
good luck!
Anyway, what’s happened to @Catchers and @NNN1?
what’s happened to @Catchers and @NNN1? Back home again since Friday, had a little birthday party, super fun and stuff with only very good friends – 4 of which stayed the night. Still a lot of jetlag + need to travel to the north for a family event up to Sunday and will see what’s gonna happen. Plus a lot to do, university starting next week, cider apples are ripe and should be harvested. At least when university starts opportunities should ramp up and I think there might be some while heading for the family event. On the flight home… Read more »
I saw the Secretary of State’s recent announcement that there will soon be sanctions/blacklists for those who provide “political or economic” support to Putin, including those “outside Russia”, so we’re rapidly heading into “you’re breaking the law if you say that war against Putin is a bad idea” territory in the West..
@OTP Could also be focused mainly on comapnies from 3rd party states, e.g. South Africa and/or the BRICS+ states. So when their companies want to do business with US (and the EU will be talked into doing the same) companies, they must not make any business with Russia – or just allow anything like that. This is what everything points to in the medium term for US foreign politics: Either you follow our containment policy or we’ll contain you… Now, when enough protest it (like OPEC just did), this will fail. But it might work as well, anyway escalating the… Read more »
@NNN1 – hahaha. Was that speech by who I think it was?
