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.

One more thing… looks like a post is lost…

When we got to talking about jealousy I started seeding NLP things like “well you just get swept up in the moment, you know…” “The heart wants what the heart wants” “You can’t fight attraction… it’s not a choice”… with hard lasering.

Sentient – just read that DT girl FR.

Started laughing when I got to the NLP stuff about being “cocky” etc. Are you actually doing NLP to try it out or just cos it’s kind of funny and self-amusing to seed innuendo? In fact, what do you guys think of NLP?

Interesting how such small things in body language can be so meaningful and worth discussing like the turning face away while keeping knees close stuff.

OK Gamesters… Here is the scenario… You are on the 20th floor of a 4 star hotel… You called for a down elevator. The elevator comes down from the 28th floor and the door opens. This is what you see ^^^^. Let’s hear your best openers and your game… The clock is ticking… you have just 20 floors… about a minute or two.

Apparently by trying to use something to make arrows I stumbled upon some code.
What I mean is that right now we have
older comments and newer comments buttons which take you one page back or forward.
It would be good to have also oldest comments (takes to first page) and especially newest comments button which takes you to whatever is currently the last page.

But reversing the ordering would also work well, so I support Sentient’s proposal.

@Sentient: If I was in suitable state and managed to open, I’d go with some situational opener based on her clothes (which stand out a bit, so she’ll probably be expecting people to notice her).That is leather on the bottom half and a see-through on the top half? “Where are you going, dressed liked that? Somewhere fancy?” If I had enough presence of mind I might manage to say something about the super obvious zipper.

My spouse suggested my line would probably work better with the first picture (the black dress…”glad I didn’t wear that same black dress, would’ve been awkward” or some such). Because the girl in the elevator is obviously going for a certain look and it might come across as mocking.

DOING THE WORK means doing all the work… Not the easy stuff like reading books or buying videos – the hard work of actually approaching, getting blown out, stuttering, sputtering until you find the calibration point. You need to open way, way, way more girls. What are you doing in the daytime? Walking around not opening?… Read more »

thanks for the comments, you two. Regarding not getting enough practice, I obviously have LOTS more field reports/rejections that that! I just picked a few fairly recent ones to give you an idea, but i’ve made somewhere around 500 approaches now. But it’s only ever really been night game ( hence that number isn’t like 3000. Then again, I’m kind of glad. I think 3000 rejections would have been just accepting defeat!) I work with all men in a warehouse and we barely get a lunch break long enough to be able to leave the building – Then, after work,… Read more »

“…the girls were younger and hornier and had lower inhibitions?” Girls are girls, you spike their inhibitions at whatever age. Women are horny at any age, it’s up to you to ping that. “I don’t know where you guys live, but the UK is NOTHING like the US in terms of people being friendly and sociable with strangers in most places.” Perhaps. Sounds like a buffer…can stop you from engaging. Sentient talks a lot about mind set, in a way. I’ll let him address that. “the lovely friendly one just wasn’t my type physically so I didn’t make an attempt… Read more »

Pitbikemike i’ve made somewhere around 500 approaches now. OK that would have been helpful information… It seems like you have picked and plucked from some of the 7 sources and videos and haven’t gotten a grasp of the theory behind the actions? Correct? You didn’t answer these questions btw – me: ”You’re friends always make you the designated photo taker?” So this is better than a toothy “Hi!”, right? Understand why. Why? Why was this open better? me: Like you!! but with blonde hair! (this girl was brunette) her: HAHAHA (She seemed to find this VERY funny for some reason)… Read more »

PS – the 12 opens… yeah that should be an hour or so in a crowded place, certainly at least that many a night.

@EhIntellect ”I like your honesty, but that comment was an obvious buffer. What you’re saying essentially is “I like fugly, angry women.” No one here believes that, neither do you too, it’s just mental jiu-jitsu you’ve steeped yourself in, you pull off to excuse your lack of confidence, success.” Maybe there’s a misunderstanding here or i’ve missed something? Where did I imply: ”I like fugly, angry women”? – What i’m saying is that the really friendly, sweet one was fat, hence I didn’t try to make a move on her. Her hot friend was angry and I didn’t try to… Read more »

I get it now. O.K.

Protip: Fat girls are good practice as they are more receptive, easy to gauge your skills. They might sense you’re faking it though, as no one generally hits on them.

Anytime is good time for pickup.

pitbikemike ”Why? Why was this open better?” I suppose because it takes her out of ‘auto-pilot’, and it’s different to what every other guy opens with. But I often can’t find an ‘open’ and so resort to ‘hi’ Because it is a form of a cold read and it is about HER… cold reads are interesting. ” What is the reason she found this funny?” – Just because it’s a playful kind of neg and disqualifies her. Yes…! it’s a push [neg]… and its about HER again… So just using these two insights… replay the last FR, you alone at… Read more »

@sentient ”So just using these two insights… replay the last FR, you alone at a pub with a non receptive hot girl and a receptive fatty… how could you have used these two techniques to draw out the hot girl?” I’m not sure. Cold read the quiet girl? Tell her I think she’s a shy introvert and compare her to her more fun outgoing friend to try to make her feel insecure and try harder to be social?? I don;t know THE MYSTERY METHOD: I don’t mind reading it. Hard to believe yet another game book will help, but it… Read more »

Women are masters of the subtle tell, if you’re thinking it, they’ll sense it and adjust accordingly. Therefore, consistency in your personality is key. When treating all with the new found abundance mentality Pitbikemike, there’s zero difficulty moving, gaming, communicating from fatty to hottie. Charming with everyone. Drawing fattie in with hottie near by, is too tempting for hottie just to sit idly. She’ll be monitoring all you say, how you say it and how you look saying it. You’re not required to bang the fattie just because you chatted her up, and deescalation is a skill too. In fact,… Read more »

@pitbikemike, height is hard to change, same with overall looks, but what is your physique like?

@newlyaloof – I’m in fairly good shape. I play football and I also work out 4-5 times per week. (boxing, freeweights, cardio). Unfortunately, it seems i’d need steroids to get truly ripped to shreds, but there is an outline of a 6-pack. I have a naturally small ‘frame’. Small wrists for example, so without steroids, i’d never look like a man-mountain! I’ve been called ‘athletic looking’ before, though

@hank will 2 nights of better sleep a night help you? Yep. You won’t acclimate to phenibut at that rate. But past all this I’m gonna have to go to lifestyle factors beyond the obvious. Diet can be huge; even if you have some unsuspected food sensitivity keeping your inflammatory levels high it can really fuck with things. But it’s hard for me to really work with ya on that without going into considerable detail. Can’t really link the best resources without potentially doxxing myself lol but this is a foray in the right direction: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/anti-inflammatory-diet-road-to-good-health#1 @Sentient Good reminder that… Read more »

@Sentient, forgot to mention that for a dude who’s reluctant to pull the trigger on a fling, some phone sex with another woman is a lovely bady step to take.

Good reminder that sometimes my instincts to go direct are good, tx

My open… “Going down?” with strong eye contact. Causally take the back wall next to her… “I didn’t mean anything with the knee pads…. [pointing at them and playing it off] I mean… I’m not even going to go there…”

This one is good to use on all the girls with the ripped knee jeans these days “I’m not even going to ask how that happened”…

@pitbike

My best advice for you is to get used to messing with girls…teasing right off the bat…whistling at them and holding eye contact, with an impish grin…barking at them…being playful…do it with other men too, in a manly way, so it becomes second nature to you
