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.

Company party was fun. The group is newly formed, there’s zero layers between me and the CEO. That makes for an exciting dynamic as everyone working hard, knows there place and there’s little in group fighting over direction. Reminds me back when starting my last permanent job 15 years ago.

What happened to DHV?
@sentient – Ex model girlfriend from Sweden
bit cringey, bro.
Read mark Manson. Basically the opposite of MM
also the ring routine. More DH/V/attraction material
Mackay
” Ex model girlfriend from Sweden”
It’s a loop, and dynamic. Not a switch. It’s not something you do once and then forget about. If you are getting IOD’s, you need to DHV until you get IOI’s… When you have the IOI’s then you know you are in A2 and can then give her an IOI back, A3.
I think you are missing concepts.
Yeah, I’m gonna try to memorise more pretend stories (involving model ex girlfriends and stories that show bravery etc) and also extra ‘routines on top of the rings thing. Thinking some sort of palm reading but could look a bit cheesy? Not sure. Not sure how many I need until she’s attracted to me
Mackay
I tell her that my ex girlfriend was from Sweden (lie) and that she moved back there to continue her modelling career (DHV). She’s like ”Yeah,it’s nice there”. She isn’t asking me anything and she’s keeping her answers too a minimum which is an IOD
This is where, if you have stacks, you proceed to fill in the blank space, not pull out your phone and go quiet.
“so check this out”
what routines/attraction material do you use after you open @j?

Mackay
I will quote me… for you.
“This is what routine stacking is about… layering them, building emotions, setting inflection points.. etc… all good stuff to work on. Stay in SET! Don’t eject… too early in your learning to worry about “dancing monkey” and shit like that. Try to spike emotions, try to get them to offer you a seat, etc etc… Once you are leading, then you will have them following, ready to bounce with this cool fun new guy who came “out of nowhere”…”
lol
@Mackay: IOIs from the girls can be very subtle. Just remaining in set, for example. There was a rule of thumb that 3 IOIs from the girl and you can do something (like move to A3, qualify her and reward her with your Male to Female interest). But in all your examples you are failing to get A2, so you need to DHV more. In the chart, the first IOD from you (before the first DHV) is the open not being too invested – you did that, over the shoulder, FTC etc. Then you need to DHV to high value… Read more »
Yeah, getting to A2 is a REAL struggle! Might have to learn magic on top of the palm reading stuff etc. I’m assuming guys who don’t do any of that at getting laid due to their good looks and so they already have the hardest piece of the puzzle (attraction)

Could you revert to the previous path to FRs (https://therationalmale.com/field-reports/)? The current one doesn’t add any value, is unnecessarily long and doesn’t solve the problem IAS was raising.

She would respond to my texts immediately. 5 minutes or less. Even if I waited several hours or a day, her responses would still be immediate. We got together once. At the end, she told me to let her know when I wanted to do it again. I said “I will.” The day after, she liked all of my Facebook posts. I was busy the next… Read more »

If you don’t want to do that for privacy reasons (like me), the current best solution is the one described by theasdgamer.

A tip: never ask a woman, especially a wife for sex. Never ever plan sex. Do not turn sex into any kind of task. There’s a difference between having sex and being sexual. Sexual is practically 24/7 and is nuanced. She’ll read it when you write it. Write a novel, lol. Men have a switch that can be turned on in an instant. Your wife, after years and years and kids and ” home stuff ” is distracted much of her day. Become a distraction yourself. Don’t allow something as cool as sex to become like vacuuming the rug.

@001: it seems you are new to lifting weights. A good option for starting is the Stronglifts 5×5 program. It is very simple and it works well. Google it, get the free app on your smartphone or tablet, check the videos on the website for the 5 lifts, and go move the barbells against gravity.
That program will serve you well for many months (or even some years), and the barbell lifts you learn will serve you for any other programs you progress into.
@001, RE: style, go to a tailor and get all of your measurements. Write them down on a piece of paper and keep them in your wallet.

Culum welcome aboard… The key to this adventure is having your instincts – when borne out – imprinted on you. So you learn to trust your gut. The second thing is the adventure, the ACT of doing something, going through with it, realizing the outcome (good or bad)… These scars tell stories. As they proceed farther into the wild jungle by boat, Willard becomes more and more fascinated by Kurtz’ dossier of press clippings, photographs, and letters (both official and personal) and compares himself to the self-appointed leader. He reads about his family, his career, and his rise from being… Read more »

@Culum
Now it’s time to remove your initial investment and let your profits ride. Gambler’s Ruin.
@Culum… as ASD said, take your initial investment out so you dont feel tempted to sell when the market is down to avoid losing money.
Then… diversify the remaining amount approximately 1/4 bitcoin, 1/4 ethereum. The remaining 1/2 diversify among 5 to 10 alt coins… coins like Tron, Verge, Steem, Neo, Stellar, NEM, Substratum, Cardano, Iota etc. All of those can be traded at Binance (except Steem… not sure where you can get that one).
Then… dont touch it for like 2 years.
Message me on Jan20, 2020 and let me know how you did.
@Sentient: N=2. I feel great. No regrets! I need to sort out my head a bit now, I’m also really sleep deprived. I appreciate your help, learned so much from you. @Blaximus: I also want to thank you because I learned several things from you, and a recent FR of yours (it was about something that happened to you a while ago, I can tell you which if you want) was very important in keeping Frame on my way to N=2. @SJF: also want to thank you again. Your assistance many months ago with that freakout I had was at… Read more »

Cheers. You did the work!
Look forward to your FR.
@Sentient: thanks. I’m making some notes now so that I remember them after I sleep as I think the sleep deprivation will take some details I want to remember. Fortunately my Frame was so strong that I think the girl just assumed I was more experienced regardless and psychological is more important than technique, but I want to improve. I need to learn a lot of technical stuff, like when we’ve discussed fingering. In fact after a first time I made her orgasm with fingering (pretty quickly actually), I couldn’t reproduce it again. It’s like I couldn’t even get one… Read more »
Thanks guys, it’s good to be back. I took a full month off TRM and manosphere and RP and pickup stuff (except for reading Rollo’s main posts) and coming back and catching up on all the Field Reports comments (don’t have time to catch up on comments on other threads) has kind of made me look at this stuff with fresh eyes (especially reading the great advice to a newbie like 001) and made realize: this stuff is *important* – it’s something that profoundly changed my life (and all of us here) and I will never stop learning and applying… Read more »
On the rest: @IAS – just saw, woohoo! Congratulations! 2018 going to be a great year for you too! Did this just happen? I don’t remember seeing the Lay Report – did I miss it? On the crypto/bitcoin stuff: thanks everyone. @SJF – Yes, it’s the plan to find some meetups when I’m in the Big City for my blitz. Not much around here (and in general the crypto world is Asia-centered, not Silicon Valley – Singapore is the most important hub). @CFGauss – thank you. I don’t want to bore others by turning this into a crypto trading sub,… Read more »
@ IAS
If I said anything helpful to your mission, the I’m very happy with that. Thank you and have FUN!
On to the next one.

Well all pussies are different.
But the opening is at the bottom. Start there.
… That’s why I’m prone to turning them inside out. Then they look more alike.
