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.

Ads, You often have good advice for me. I don’t knock dread game at all, and agree that it should be a component of LTR game. I also think for some guys it will be a much larger component of their LTR game, than it will be for others. I often feel like I’m talking into the wind here. I don’t know how many times I’ve said that I agree with RP theory, and I never argue with RP theory. I know I’m not the only one who perceives that every man must find his own way of employing it.… Read more »

“I know I’m not the only one who perceives that every man must find his own way of employing it.”

He’s denying the universals that all RP men employ, consciously or not. Dread is a hard wired female reaction to losing a valuable man. BP guys can argue against the reality to their detriment. Then again, BP guys have redefined detriment into benefit.

@ asd and others

Your comments reinforce the root benefits of RP, TRM.

Extracting the greatest ROI in life.

Example:

Alphas by definition are Frame strong and create dread naturally. Guys looking for more frame “employ” dread. Why? Because it works, and in time, if he doesn’t stall at dream girl stage, she’ll autodread.

Notice how much frustrated time, talent and treasure Mitch uses to get what others relatively get for free?

Pull that plow all you want, I prefer something else.

@Mitch – when you say “I agree with RP theory but every man must learn and apply it in his own way” – I don’t think anyone here disagrees with that principle. The problem is that pretty much everyone here thinks you are applying it the wrong way. Making RP your own does not include breaching its basic principles. To us it sounds like you saying “I believe in the basic principles of physics, but we all need to interpret them in our own way, and my interpretation is that the sun rises in the west”. It’s self-contradictory. Having said… Read more »

my vote is to let Mitch do his thing, which is what we all do…. take what you like, leave the rest; everyone is well-intentioned but that’s not the issue he’s right in that he is the only one with the minutiae to adjust for nuances; wholesale misapplications of RP are another issue and at this point persuading one way or the other is not gonna happen; let the man try his own way, he’s got a bit of underdog scrappiness that I like which dovetails nicely with a morbid fascination for up-and-coming trainwrecks….

Testify. I was plenty satisfied as regular Joe, baby crib in living room, in a one bedroom, big city brownstone apartment.

Sex was our go-to recreation. Free and even bad sex was better than a good meal.

I have more shit to distract me now. All of it gained while betaized.

Odd thing now, since RPing, I don’t buy much. The desire waned.

We’re all dealing with the same shit, only at different magnitudes.

Satisfaction stems from how we react to it.

Insisting that you *know* what’s best for someone else is a way of disrespecting them. THIS is why you are not my teacher. You will be of little use helping men unplug if you do not respect their journey. The journeys are more similar than you think. Sure there are small differences everywhere, but the basic frameworks and strategies are very similar, the effective ones anyway, because AWALT, and AWALT really *is* true.

Guys have to take advice at their own pace and based on their own experience. If someone is so invested in someone or something that it becomes their reality no amount of convincing will change them. I know from my own experience before discovering game and the Red Pill I was full of self-delusion. I’d get good advice but I’d still try my own thing. After things exploding in my face a few times I learned that the advice I was getting here was solid. You have to stumble before you walk. But you have to be committed to learning… Read more »

At some point I may mention to my girl on the sly that the drink is mostly backwash by this time.

I would get a round coming for the table and introduce a game of truth or consequences. Where you go around the table asking seriously personal questions that nobody wants to answer, the person can answer or take the consequences ie, a drink. This is great for laughs and emotional spikes. My answers typically resemble balderdash.

Just emerged from my post prandial space out.

Lunchtime, my boss asked me did I buy Xmas presents? Me full belly dazed: No. Him: Did the kidsask for anything? Me: IDK. Maybe. Didn’t ask. Him: Does your wife buy any? Me: Probably. Him: How do you stay married? Me: I do other things, through the year.

@j thanks for the insight – eye opening! @WIA Thanks As for the the booty call invite – that might be all that it was. Might be. What’s more likely going on is that the chick feels like she might be falling for you – and your hot and cold act is creating that tension that she loves and hates so much. She can trust you with her body, should she trust you with anything else? In her mind, you’re in boyfriend territory. Could you expand on this a bit more? My approach with this girl has been BB so… Read more »

@IAS

I’ve never used a movie to turn a girl on because I usually escalate to make-out during the first couple of minutes of turning one on. If attraction is there it doesn’t matter in my experience.

Through the Catonese filter… what do both movies (At First Sight and Rust & Bone) have in common?

I wasn’t going to let her cancel on me in mid-flight then expect me to show up and have sex with her when it’s convenient for her.

Would you when it’s convenient for you?

I definitely saw it as an invite for sex but was looking for a way out – even though I partially misinterpreted this one due to the flake.

Hold on Hoss. You’re saying you saw her line… her first line here

Her: “What are you up to tonight?”

As an invite for sex??? And so you then put up a huge compliance hoop for her to jump through to get it?

I don’t think so.

If you DID think her line was an invite for sex, what would you have replied with?

@Sentient Would you when it’s convenient for you? Yes, of course! I don’t flake, though. Am I fruitlessly holding a cat to dog standards? Are flakes just price of admission? She definitely went from covert to overt in asking for sex because I missed her first proposition. Hold on Hoss. You’re saying you saw her line… her first line here No, I completely missed the first one – you’re right. I was referencing her flake text where she said I could come over after eating if I wanted. If you DID think her line was an invite for sex, what… Read more »

mini fr from last night… last evening my boy went out to dinner with my ex/his mom so I had a couple of hours to kill and was hungry; went to this local bar & grill and it was a light crowd; one 40-ish loudmouth broad was there with her drinking/drunk girl friend and was making the rounds to all the groups in the bar; I had thought that she knew them all but evidently was just be-bopping from one to the other telling her story while the drunk friend was a couple of seats down from me getting hit… Read more »

Catchers Ok help me out on this. Presumably you liked her were attracted enough to invite her out and you would have banged her if she didn’t “flake” right? So now you are mad at her for “flaking” when she didn’t even want to do anything but get on your dick to start with. You set up the hurdles, and wouldn’t even tell her what it was. And she still chased you that night and is now falling all over herself to get your cocka… What’s not attractive about that? If you need validation hoops to feel better about yourself,… Read more »

@EhIntellect What did you base your attraction on? Initially physical attraction of course. Aside from that I’m evaluating how pleasant she is to be around, how much confidence she has, is she supportive of my goals, etc. Since I’m seeing more than one girl at a time I’m much more attracted to the other girl that I’ve been with recently and continue to see. Perhaps I’m looking a gift horse in the mouth but I am confident that I can do better. @Sentient Ok help me out on this. Presumably you liked her were attracted enough to invite her out… Read more »

Am I missing something?

No dickhead question inconing: Why you asking these questions of yourself?

Those sound like irrelavant True Romance life partner questionnaire items.

FR After consecutive late nights and early mornings I was gassed going into last weekend. I skipped my usual routine but headed out towards the end of the weekend to dance. I walk in and EVERYONE is there including the best friend of the girl (R) from my SNL FR earlier this week. We exchange pleasantries and dance together while catching up a bit. Not 15 minutes later does R show up at the venue, greets me with a big smile, and we start dancing together. Although I wanted to see R again I’m operating in new territory here (SNL/ONS)… Read more »

Catchers Couple more things… Now no doubt she was pinging you for three reasons 1) she is going away and wants a dicking down. Maybe she is going to be with family etc. And not be able to. 2) you will be apart and she wants to leave her mark on you, cat style. She knows things drift over breaks. 3) one AND two. ” just not used to “hey come over and let’s fuck”.” Get used to it. When you are aloof and mysterious and spinninh plates you are in fuckboi territory. Secret Society level in sight if you… Read more »

That was the second time we had sex. Left her place early the next morning with a “See ya soon” after we kissed at her front door.

@EhIntellect

Those are the qualities I’m looking for in a long-term relationship but I understand where you’re coming from. Is it that binary, though?

I realize an LTR is in conflict with what I say I want.

@dr zipper

Your FR was fantastic on multiple levels:

1. You’re getting back out there but are using a new perspective to your advantage

2. Willing to engage with women just for entertainment and not feeling bound for anything further

3. Passing shit tests with aplomb and being conscious of it

Keep going, good luck.

OK well that makes a difference

If this is the issue:

In my mind (similar to our other ongoing discussion) I’m still stuck on proposing an activity before sex.

Get over it by just inviting her to come over and hang out… bang her then.

“Hey… not feeling going out. Just come over over tonight” etc. Remember this is your issue. she isn’t saying you need to do something. And it will help push you away from the BB side.

lol fuckbuddy texted me yesterday:

“Are you busy tmrw? I wanna see you before I leave”

I’m obviously not gonna tell her what bar I’m gonna be at so we can “see each other” before she leaves lol

Doc Z Good on you for sticking a toe in. Good read of the woman. Here is something to keep in mind for next time… so you aren’t surprised etc. Alllllllllllllll the stuff you did was good and fun and right. But you never “put it out there” and made things sexual and man to woman, with you as a sexual threat. Thing is almost all women will enjoy having fun like this, getting attention, validation, even getting titillated. It is a safe space for them to play. And so then when you take that big step and put it… Read more »

@WIA – the FeelingsBeforeLogic subreddit has the best compilation of posts. Including some deleted ones that were saved and donated by old readers to the new mods (but still not the crucial How To Read Girls post)

It’s a small subreddit – only about 3 pages of threads. About 4-5 key strategy posts and maybe a few dozen smaller posts in response to FRs etc (the latter are mostly compiled in a single thread)

She’ll follow you to Earth’s end and off if you are all in on you.

There’s only so many hours in the day. Don’t waste any wondering if you’re doing the right thing, or if she’s the one.

Just act.

@zipper

sprinkled in no less than a half dozen times she asks “so where do you live again?”

When a girl talks about logistics…your place…her place…the park…she’s dtf

When a girl mentions BOB, she is looking for a fuck…why did she bring up her marital status again???…paging HABD…so she won’t feel bad about fucking you because she warned you

but even when she’s dtf, you have to make it “just happen”…meaning, you don’t ask her to fuck or even mention fucking and you have to give her plausible deniability…an excuse to go to your place or her place
