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.

@Sentient

Yeah. I really miss this community.

The sort of understanding we have of game and women is unparalleled.

Even my “natural” friend had just got himself arrested because he mis handled a narcissistic woman.

Two guys I employ are ripe to get slaughtered by the first women they meet…

It’s not good out there, and old school Red Pill and game hasn’t gained any traction.

The thing is, the core half dozen or so of us are still here, even if we don’t check in every day – and another half dozen or so check in on longer intervals – we had a bunch of people come back to say Hello a few months ago around Christmas time. There’s a real dedication to this community that we all appreciate. The reason for the drop off is a) Rollo moving to video and not posting anymore – so fewer subjects to talk about, and no more of the flow of new users who come to read… Read more »

No, the reason for the drop off is because Rollo’s theories and the posts on here seem to be only anecdotally true from the point of view of manipulating, hooking up, dating, even marrying cluster B loonies, and frankly seems to involve an awful lot of byzantine effort.

Those that are left on here are stuck in an echo chamber of selection bias but can’t see it, instead claiming that you’re some sort of rarefied elite. As HABD would say good luck.

I dunno what to say to that – you’re entitled to your opinion I guess? I have no way to convince you otherwise – all I can say is I’ve personally benefited a great deal from the men in this community and the knowledge I learnt here, and that in my experience, it has proved to be an accurate model of the world around me, and had great predictive power in understanding male/female relationships.

If you have a different model of understanding male/female relationships that you feel explains it better, I’d be interested to hear about it.

@OTP Just reading the thread and can’t believe I missed your question about leadership skills for your son. I think scouts is done. Totally feminised now, run by risk adverse women, or might as well be – probably because they get sued if little johnny gets a graze. Hockey might be a possible, my oldest son is the team captain at UNI and I’m cautiously optimistic about him. But still prolly too many women – lots of fat ones with purple hair. In fairness though he’s managed to live through that everyday and shrugs them all off as nutcases. Nevertheless,… Read more »

I don’t really think of it as “daygame” – somehow that brings to mind guys machine gun approaching women in malls with “I thought you looked stunning and wanted… Read more »

that’s all most guys do if they go out at all – nightgame is very unpopular for some reason

You know why, night game is the real deal get them to sign on the line that is dotted ego killing field. 😂

It’s so fucked up reading articles from 15 years ago and they spell out exactly what you see happening day by day with your parents, with your girlfriend, at college, at work, with your friends, with everyone. It’s so fucked up. You have no idea how disheartening it is to have these all of these live events happening in real time, knowing exactly where they’re going, and all the help you find is from a community that is already gone. I caught up too late to the game, but I guess I’m lucky just for being able to hear the… Read more »

Jagermeister – welcome to TRM! I can’t bring back the community (and still don’t understand why Rollo doesn’t crosspost his articles and videos here, so that he can own the community created instead of YouTube/Substack) but there ARE about 4-5 of us who check in here regularly, and another 2-3 who check in more rarely. If we get something to talk about (part of the reason I am restarting my FRs) and get a few more people..this community can still be revived – 10-20 regular posters is enough for an active community. You can find all the old content still… Read more »

So heads up … ma employee, let’s call him @ScoobyDoo has decided to start to get serious about understanding women and how to get what he wants. As a rough outline he’s late 20’s had a few GF’s but they’ve ended fairly badly with him getting hurt. He’s actively avoided women for as long as I’ve known him however if you drop him into an interaction he’s able to step up and actually may be fairly close to a natural. I may have to write up a field report where we all went out with his dad and I got… Read more »

Thought I would try to fill in some blanks and add more detail sooner rather than later… As my dating history goes I’ve had a few LTR’s but looking back now I never really took any of them seriously. Maybe the girl I lost my V plates to but again, how serious is a relationship between two 17 year olds? Not very. In my late teens early 20’s I was out and about most weekends but would never pull but never really tired to. I was active on some of the online dating apps and would manage to secure a… Read more »

welcome welcome ScoobyDoo…

PS method isn’t bad at all, just a longer runway perhaps.

I’d say you already had a date or two. And dog walking gives you plausible deniability and reasons to continue.

So I’d wait until the next time she calls and be ready to take charge of the situation… go walk the dog where you can isolate he and have a drink and while doing that start gaming her through the steps (A C S), so when you get back to her place it can “just happen”. Assumes she lives alone? Know your logistics up front.

Scooby & Hans – welcome, great to have new posters. Comments below for both of you. Scooby – Palma and Sentient giving you great advice. Just remember that while all of us regulars here agree on the basic principles, we all have different personalities and therefore slightly different opinions. In your case, it is abundantly clear that she is interested in you making a play for you – almost certainly has you pegged as BB and therefore her next boyfriend (hopefully) and is desperately dropping hints to get you to make a move. Therefore the “pure Alpha” move would be… Read more »

@HABD does she ask for more money to move to a better place?… LOLLLLL Yunnow that just reminded me of when I operated the call centre in Moldova. I had this fixer down there who was an alcoholic ex RAF helicopter pilot who had married a woman down there. He knew the script but even he didn’t protect us from the Mafia but I digress. He got us invited to the British Embassy to celebrate the queens birthday, meet the ambassador etc. he got on well with the ambassador and he said it was because he cleaned up all the… Read more »

And now in states I have been to many massages to practice. I am reading 5th book now. Is the mystery method explained there?

I unblocked her in 2023 after 6 months because I was talking to 1 girl which didn’t went well, because of loneliness, I called my friends, but they all are married now and became beta (they were beta before) they are busy finding schedule just to talk to me and that too after 1 week of my old, missed calls. I can talk to my brother but how long. Suddenly, I started hearing beep sound in my ears for few days because i work in manufacturing plant and I got frightened and due to that loneliness, I unblocked her. Yes,… Read more »

I’m glad @ScoobyDoo is in the game as it’s forcing me to keep mine tight and I’m slacking I think. I was out earlier in the week on my own at the IVY which is a mid end / tried to be upscale bar. After work, just wanted an hour on my own + 1 cold small beers. Just some time out. With no grief and I didn’t want to talk to anyone. Sat at one end of the bar and a woman and a guy at the the other end of the bar and this woman is bitching loudly… Read more »

Ok so when is a shit test not a shit test. I’ve taken a sort of months paternity but not really. I’ve had to work a bit but not like I did and today I had to go back to work. That meant I left at 6 and was out all day and after that I had to go do a currency deal with a friend because I am le bankrupt exchange rates are shit. So I had to do a deal. So I came home at about 4, all was good and I said I had to go out… Read more »

but instead of that silver back, you got some loud shirts and boots…lol

I wasn’t even wearing them, I was in some shit dirty garb from work
– which does have the company logo and my name and phone number on it.

Which in itself is out of place. Everyone else in there had got dressed up for the occasion, I only rolled in because by accident there was a parking space outside otherwise I’d have rolled further up the road to a bar nearer another parking space.

Palma Ok so when is a shit test not a shit test. Some examples – “Oh hey I broke a dish, be careful down there, I’m dealing with these monsters” “Thank God you’re home, I broke a dish, dealing with these two. Can you clear it up I’ll be down with them ina bit” “Sorry about downstairs, this afternoon has been nuts, can you watch them while I clean up” “Sorry about downstairs broke a dish. Could you help me out, clear it while I get them ready?” Etc. There is some recognition that shit ain’t right, she is a… Read more »

I started hearing beep sound in my ears for few days because i work in manufacturing plant

Get some ear protection

Yes, she keeps telling me that she wants to move to a place near her office or buy a new house for her but then tells me that it will cost more money.

Get rid of her, look in the mirror and sort your appearance and get more / new friends & hit the gym.
