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.

@habd

expound on that control idea… bc I really don’t understand… duct tape and sound proof rooms?…lol

that’s the opposite of seduction…

the flip side of girls making it happen when they want it is girls making it not happen when they don’t… where doesn’t matter…

Control over logistics so that, in the course of seduction, I minimize the number of factors that could adversely affect my ability to get what I want.

Agreed, on your second point. Be the prize, take the lead by seducing her, leave less up to chance or her mood in the moment.

If I’m still beholden to her mood and “if she wants sex from me” then I’m still pedestalizing her as the sexual selector (FI).

My thought process should be less about what mood she is in and more about what I want and what I am doing to accomplish getting what I want.

I like pair bonding, so it’s definitely important to enjoy each other’s company and that’s cool. But if I ask myself: would I be with with my wife if we didn’t have kids… the answer is no. I can’t imagine her not being torn between fulfilling her deepest biological desire and staying with me. There would be only downside. The upside (same or… Read more »

@j “I just smile at her and kiss her neck finger her suck on her tits but no p in v. After several more attempts I give up.” I came to a conclusion that epiphany chicks are the main reason why Blackdragon ended up with his 2-day model (quick meeting on day 1 and then invite her to his place on day 2) to bypass the “I don’t put out on the first date” feeling. Have you tried closing sets like the one above on day 2? May as well not be worth the effort, I’m not sure yet. I… Read more »

@IRL “Have you tried closing sets like the one above on day 2?” Nah haven’t been on a day 2 in well over a year and a half. Strictly run SNL game only. The good thing about this self constraint, is that it’s really improved my problem solving skills/creativity/confidence that I can any close any girl I want (besides epiphany chicks apparently 😉 plus it’s always a fun adventure 🙂 “May as well not be worth the effort, I’m not sure yet.” Yeah this was my first 35+ year old woman I was in S3 with this year and I… Read more »

“Yeah this was my first 35+ year old woman I was in S3 with this year ”

Blackdragon had a contest to find a system to reliably and cheaply close 33+ women because he was at a loss to do it with the same constraints as younger girls.

I posted that thread here and Thin Man’s and Pure Evil’s solutions. Which generally involved a Day 2.

SNL game will always give you sharper skills, and to me, much hotter sex. Much more raw and in the moment. That is a rush.

Another video from Todd – he’s clearly on a publicity blitz. Only 7 minutes, called The State of the Pickup Community. This is worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwZL3SyZYBM It’s hard to summarize but he hits many of the same points as in the longer Winner Game videos. It’s obviously stuff he’s been thinking about and wanting to say for years and now he’s finally allowed to. He sounds very passionate. He actually sounds like a blend of YaReally (when he is talking about how the early pickup community was empirical and tested everything to see if it worked) and Rollo (when he… Read more »

Another mini-FR, day game. Interesting scenario for you guys to role play (and maybe I can learn from that). 2-set boarding the train, my target was carrying a long cardboard tube. With her luggage she passes the tube to the other girl (who was also a cutie), boards, and I open the other saying “I’m going to let you go ahead as I don’t want to have you behind me with that!”. She smiles and goes “Thank you”. They go in full of luggage and one of the rubber stoppers on the tube popped out (they must have scraped it… Read more »

@IAS ““Hi.

@j: thanks, I can see how those would be good moves. It was a good opportunity I think. I’m not very pleased with my performance but I’m not upset either as at least I tried. When I went over the last time it was with the thought of them showing me the poster actually. When the stopper was off I could have grabbed it and tell them I’ll give it to them after they show me what is inside (or just not pick it up, like I wrote before). We’ve discussed this at least once, it seems the hotties do… Read more »

@Blax – agree 100% with everything he said. Does not conflict with anything said on here even by YaReally. He could have mentioned a bit about the Red Pill though.

So they are going to a city you are also going to and i presume you have some familiarity with? start with basics to get the convo rolling. Logistics info, where you coming from, what part of the city you staying in, ever been there before and use this as a branch into DHV story and start lasering, sexualizing. “so check this out, last time I was here …” and you are off… I think… Read more »

@Sentient: seats are assigned. I always choose the same spot: forward facing in the rear of the carriage, in one of the places where the seats flip from forward facing to rear facing. I used to seat there anyway, but I think it is actually the place that maximizes EC possibilities.

When things get rough, having someone by your side who loves you, who cares for you, has your back, wants to build something with you and together is one of the most amazing experiences you can possibly have

…until she doesn’t.

As a pua with laser-like focus on picking up women, Todd is making the hard left turn into the Big Blue Pill.

From YaReally, pua extraordinaire – “What we need from you old guys who married is what benefits you guys got from it, so that we can help guys find other ways to get those benefits in a lower-risk fashion. Does that make sense? We can’t see ANY benefit to legal marriage or monogamy that they can’t still get from a non-legal non-agreeing-to-monogamy arrangement, so we need you guys knee-deep in that shit to tell us what benefit you get, or Andy gets, or Big Al will get, or hank and his new girlfriend (lol) will get, etc Because to US,… Read more »

@Blax with the talking heads again. Same as it ever was.

YaReally only posted RSD because they had good footage demonstrated certain aspects. He was never pushing their product, several times he even discouraged people from their paid offerings, and he linked videos with time stamps to the interesting part.

Still don’t know why you (Blax) insist on certain interpretations (which are at best incorrect) of verifiable facts… You really don’t need that.

Todd in one of the videos posted above implicitly stated that he is not monogamous with a girlfriend and a baby with her. He implied threesomes with her (which I suspect were before baby #1) Notwithstanding that this can be a gambit for selling his wares. Todd Valentine is selling a brand and his livelihood depends on it. Who knows whether the girlfriend and the baby were intentional. @Blaximus That’s where YaReally went off the rails. Old married guys with a good spouse don’t actually need to explain the benefits. They are self evident. “What we need from you old… Read more »
