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.

Hahaha did someone summon me? FWIW, my opinion of Trump is roughly the same as what Blax used to post back in the day during Trump’s first term. He’s a lifelong grifter, and so is his family and indeed, crypto is the latest place for them conduct their grift and extract value. I support him politically because I support many of his political policies and there are some serious Augean Stables that need to be cleaned out – not because I think he’s some kind of example moral uprightness or sterling character – I doubt he has any real principles… Read more »

@Intheshadows – no, but I’m looking at the Psychacks channel right now and taking a look. Listening to the first video and he seems to make sense in the 10 min it’s taken me to type what is below. Does it actually saying anything new or insightful? That’s not really a criticism, but more that I spent a lot of the 2010s consuming content – Game content, Red Pill content (by far the best was Rollo’s but was also some other good stuff, as well as a lot of BS and people talking nonsense).

Palma – my main response to a “flip out” reaction to a shit test is that you can’t do it often – sure, once in a long while, it can have the “slap reaction” from her that you are looking far. But it’s very easy to cross the line into being “out of control” and “not in charge of your emotions or the situation”. Also it’s easy to overreact to something when the pressure has been building over time with lots of other things. Agree with HABD and Sentient on all the other things – I don’t think you’ve handled… Read more »

Yunno wot. Even if the Donald is a grifter, and he may or may not be. If he stops this shit where my sons could come home from school having been told they could really be girls and that they could cut off their cocks….

If he stops that ^^

And even if he does nothing else he can have whatever grift he wants with chocolate topping and bells on with my compliments.

That’s what it’s down to now.

What’s his history with women Palma? Ex girlfriends etc?

Data Point – much younger, but my 13 year old son is the same. Doesn’t really talk about girls, not interested etc and says so repeatedly. I don’t hear him or his friends talk about girls etc (a few of them have girifriends but not many). He doesn’t have a phone so no porn either, except for whatever he happens to see on his friends’ phones (he has admitted jerking off though).

So maybe this attitude starts early..

Sentient – what’s the distinction between the two groups? Or the difference rather?

What I mean is – the young men in the “other” group don’t appear to be “losers” in any typical sense – they have their lives together and have female interest etc – so what makes some of them go into the “social” group and some into the “Other” group?

Just personality? Early experiences? Are introverts more likely to be in the “other” group? Etc

@IAS It’s easy to underestimate your journey. It’s worth contemplating and reconciling your level of game. Simply put you’re in drug dealer territory. The only men who routinely bang women who know those men are banging other women regularly (and swallow that) are for the best part drug dealers. You don’t even see it at fame level. Fame level is usually BB on bucks steroids. Once you flipped that with N.x and owned it you were the most alpha thing she’s ever encountered. No one else even came close. You were boxed off as Chad.

Talking to girls still works like it has done since the dawn of humanity and like it will continue to do despite all the billshit.

@NNN1 – you might read all this and think “it’s so hard now”, but just to add to what Palma said – it’s actually the opposite. It’s EASIER now for you, and there are MORE opportunities, because there is a LOT less competition in the real world and women are starved for male attention – IF – and this is a big IF – you push through the initial weirdness and your friends discouraging you etc. Being a pioneer is always better – by definition, it means there are greater rewards for those who are willing to do what the… Read more »

I’m still checking semi regularly 🙂 The knowledge and support from this website and from the FR sections and small community here contributed significantly to make my life better. I might as well add a quick update. I managed to turn around the situation with both N3 and N19 such that I’ve kept both of them spinning for some more months, but the consistency isn’t where I’d like. I haven’t quite figured out if I can really salvage N3 for the long term, which I would like to do in general, but considering the inconsistency and depending on what she… Read more »

@IAS You’re doing well to contain the rotation over this period of time. The question is what you want. Your options really are to stick with what you’re doing and replace any plates that fall off or if you like one of them then you may need to consolidate on that otherwise inevitably some will move to a BB for provisioning. Even if they move to a BB then it’s likely that you would still be able to bang them fairly frequently but I’m not sure if this is what you want. When I took the time out it was… Read more »

Hey IAS – glad you’re still checking in.

As Palma said – what do you actually want? It would seem that the logical next step is to be prospecting for new leads to replenish the harem – why aren’t you doing that?

Palma – the most important question is – did you smash one or both the Texan women? You clearly have a smartphone so it can’t have been that long ago – sometime in the last 15 years?

I’ve never actually seen EWS although I know the concept roughly. I really should remedy that – that scene was fascinating and Kidman is a great actress. Reminds me of the time many years ago I had my first BJ in the restroom after an online date and the woman thanked ME for giving her that rush and that experience of being pulled in there. Cats are not dogs etc. Later in the summer when some immediate issues are dealt with, I am thinking about implementing a suggestion a long-ago pickup coach told me (well over a decade ago –… Read more »

You should watch it… her monologue is in reply to Cruise giving an evo bio lecture on guys being “different” than women, spread their seed, while women want security and pairing… she’s on the floor at the beginning of the clip because she is doubled up in laughter at his thinking about women. Cruise is great as well as the Perfect Beta Bux Dr, who thinks he is alpha.

Amazingly red pill movie. Another favorite scene from it

The wisdom of Ovid Though she might not give, take what isn’t given. Perhaps she’ll struggle, and then say ‘you’re wicked’: struggling she still wants, herself, to be conquered. Only, take care her lips aren’t bruised by snatching, and that she can’t complain that you were harsh. Who takes a kiss, and doesn’t take the rest, deserves to lose all that were granted too. How much short of your wish are you after that kiss? Ah me, that was boorishness stopped you not modesty. Though you call it force: it’s force that pleases girls: what delights is often to have… Read more »

@Sentient You know looking at that scene where he takes her drinks her champagne takes me back. It’s 5 years ago this November that I met Mrs PS. Before that I used to meet them in a certain pub and time entering so that I walked in straight behind them, greet them as they were looking round and walk them to the bar and order two glasses of champagne without even asking what they wanted to drink. Then there was the venue bounce along a road full or bars, and by the 3rd bar is was taxi to mine. This… Read more »

That’s hilarious Palma. When I was doing my heavy online dating pre-COVID, I had a similar routine. I also started with 2-3 bars, but eventually got good enough that one bar was enough. Although for the venue change/bounce benefits I invariably met them nearby and walked them to the bar instead of just meeting at the bar – similar psychological effects of going on a journey together etc. But every step was so choreographed it was crazy – not because I needed a memorised script but because it was just the shortest, most efficient route to getting laid. Like literally… Read more »

Have any of you guys seen the Netflix show Adolescence? Seems to be a lot of panic around it – did I post about it a few months ago? I can’t remember. Anyway seems to be about some Eliot Rodger (remember him?) incel type who kills a girl and it’s about the aftermath of that. Full of all the typical stereotypes and handwringing about toxic masculinity. My son is probably going to watch it at some point (think it’s going to be screened at his school), and I was thinking if I should just ignore it unless he mentions it… Read more »

@ OTP It was in response to that situation where that kcalb Muslim stabbed those little girls literally hundreds of times because halla told him to do it, but they couldn’t to a show like that so they cast a white kid. I haven’t watched it and I’m not going to because i don’t have a TV thats plugged in, and even if i did then I wouldn’t watch it. Suggest you just tell him it’s propaganda. Hindus have plenty of experience of being attached by a certain belief set if I’m not mistaken. I think the Sikhs stepped in… Read more »

Oh I hadn’t considered the connection to that atrocity. The show came out soon after that didn’t it? I’m sure they started filming the show before the murders happened, but I assumed it became a priority to promote it afterwards and make it a household name.

And yes indeed, Hindus have had quite a few religious conflicts with the people you mention.

I’ll tell him it’s a reaction to that incident..makes sense.

@Sentient It doesn’t surprise me. I honestly don’t know what women are going to do because there’s no doubt that objectivity a large proportion of men have left the market. We’re out less these days but we were out earlier in the week for Mrs PS 30th birthday (yeah it’s coming up to 5 years) and there were two groups of women out all done up. Men, zero. It was a small time venue with a mid offering suitable for families with small kids, so nothing exceptional. We’d eaten and I walk to the bar to get the bill and… Read more »

Anarchy in Europe as North African and Middle Eastern gangs senselessly terrorise innocent victims Although you have to walk the internet right up to SkyNews AUSTRALIA to get this information. Interestingly enough, especially southern Germany still is quite calm (as is Swiss, Austria and Eastern Europe), especially in the countryside. Since a few years some of my friends’ parents hesitate to go downtown in the evening. (the more elite ones) Interestingly though, the females my age don’t hesitate about that – but who knows.

No serious shit tests in a long time, but then I’ve survived bankruptcy, re housed us and cut a deal with the landlord to refurbish the house the way we want it and he’s paying. Continuing to observe the rules of Poon. For the record there has never been a birthday or Xmas card or present. She gets a “happy birthday” and sex… which is the same that I get. On balance I think it’s as on cam as it could be, but we’ll see.… Read more »

The biblical verse referencing seven women for every man is Isaiah 4:1. This verse speaks of a future time when there will be a severe shortage of men, leading seven women to seek marriage with a single man. The women are willing to provide for themselves, but desire to be associated with the man’s name to remove their social stigma of being unmarried. Here’s a more detailed explanation: The Context: Isaiah 4:1 is part of a larger prophecy in Isaiah that discusses the consequences of sin and God’s judgment. Specifically, Isaiah 3 describes the arrogance and vanity of the women… Read more »

Just got back today from family holiday and catching up.

I have to say – when you get out of the big city craziness and stop looking at the news – life is still pretty good even if the world as a whole is going down the tubes. There’s still good people and good families out there living good lives and staying out of the craziness as much as possible.

Catching up on messages now. @Palma – I don’t do online dating anymore. Not worth the security risk even if the juice was worth the squeeze (which it isn’t, irrespective of the security risks). The odds are just stacked against men on the dating apps and it’s just not worth it. Last time was last year sometime and even that was the affairs website (and even that has become 10x harder to get any results, even compared to 2021 or whenever I first started using it). Other than my wife, I occasionally go – in person – to some swingers… Read more »
