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.
further CANNED MATERIAL The Mystery Method incorporates the use of canned material. If a particular value-demonstrating routine has been internalized and is ready for use in set, then that routine is said to be in the can. A Venusian artist who can deliver canned material properly will be able to generate consistent, powerful responses while he is “in set.” It is a potent tool. Of course, no single tool should ever become a crutch—it’s also vitally important for the open-minded Venusian artist to practice spontaneous, natural conversation. After all, that’s where the best-canned material comes from in the first place.… Read more »
@J – Ahhh, makes sense. I kind of suspected that due to the MysteryMethod referencing
Girls in bars here don’t wanna hear long ass stories lol.

jejckel Routines don’t have to be long… and yes young girls are just as interested. On your “she didn’t say anything”… In the early part of a set, when you haven’t yet demonstrated much value, girls won’t be eager to contribute much effort to contlnue the interaction. You must be able to contribute 90 percent of the conversation or it will die. Over time, as attraction is created, you can then use this attraction to bait the girl into more participation and investment. But even then you must be leading the interaction and keeping her stimulated. Thus it’s extremely important… Read more »
@scars – No matter what DHV story you used, that paricular girl was never gonna go for you. Don’t get hung up on one single interaction. JulienRSD gets rejected all the time (his own words) and he’s thought to be one of the best. Don’t go down the rabbit hole of thinking that game is some sort of black magic. She ignored you. Classic No girl. Next!
“so, you approach ‘no’ girl and get the “NO”…what do you do?…you silently chuckle/smirk/are amused at her being a silly girl and immediately move on to your next thing, which is getting a drink/enjoying your drink…
why? bc to continue to try to engage her is TOO MUCH EFFORT (and gives her the attention/validation/REWARD that she is seeking, and so conforms to her expected results = beta)”
+1 !!!
@Phil – Yeah, I know I couldn’t have actually ‘got’ her no matter what I done (was obvious from the second she laid eyes on me), but I still like to think about things that I could have said to stay in set longer, just for the practice. Like, I could have maybe asked her if this is a Lithuanian way of reacting when approached by guys and teased her about that for a bit? But that might have been ‘reacting’ to her too much? Could have maybe went into some sort of DHV story, but i’m certain that she’d… Read more »

Girls in bars here don’t wanna hear long ass stories lol.
Lol, you must live on Mars or some shit. Earth girls wanna hear my stories all the time. If the music is loud, I don’t wanna tell the stories and I’ll do some nonverbal shit instead. Or maybe we change to a quieter venue. If I tell stories, it’s something short while I’m dancing. Or maybe early in the evening when the music is softer and girls are less likely to be drunk.
I knew this grandma named Chad…
IDK, it’s as if some guys get triggered by some club experience into competition mode, dick measuring comments, if someone questions them by talking pickup online.
If it fits the script or sniff test, it’ll pass muster.
If you get blowback, perhaps a tweaking is in order.
Or twerking…
“why couldn’t she come up with something else”
EhIntellect
She can’t, at least on her own, as she hasn’t emotionally evolved past high school thus she stuck at that reference point.
Yep.
“Oldest teenager in the house”.
@Eh I’m talking game, not pickup. The blowback is because some dudes think that you have to have a lot of fucks to talk game and that’s bullshit. You have to have a lot of fucks with new girls you just met to talk pickup. That I agree with. What you have to have to talk game is lots of experience around girls and men.

A demonstration of high value is not a story about you doing some cool according to you bullshit, it’s telling a story that is a page turner. It’s grabbing that attention, taking it for a rollercoaster ride.
This. Creating a dramatic event. This is hard to learn but it can be practiced on guys.
And following on my last comment, create word pictures in your stories. Make people feel like they are there. Learn how to add imagery and poetry to your stories. Include your feelings in poetic form. Create a fantasy.

What’s with the binary thinking?
Stories – and other displays of high value [like being unphased by her disinterest] – don’t have to be “most” effective. Effective will do. You start out with disinterest, then lure her in. That’s the point. How do you eat a box of chocolates? One at a time.

Ha ha… cashmere… It’s a great way to peacock and it pisses doods off… chicks love it though. Good opportunity to demonstrate holding frame.
as to the mate guarder… better way to handle that kind of disrespect is to whisper in her ear, wow he’s so hot… then go flirt with some other girls. Of course you might find out you are her second choice that way…
PS – I’m sure his stomach and torso was not bulging with fat or pear shaped…
@Sentient Agreed, to me this seems like a symptom of a larger problem if a girl is willing to shit on you in public so blatantly. The problem is guys let girls get away with it way too often or are blind to the dynamics involved. This guy obviously chose the wrong path by reacting emotionally but it’s certainly a thought provoking predicament.

interesting new day game pull from JMULV (don’t think I can post links)
I usually don’t ‘get’ his infields at all. There always seems to be zero ‘game’ (people have mentioned actresses) and Combined with the fact that everyone tells me he just bangs hookers and stuff i’m super suspicious, but it’s better than lots of his infields that i’ve seen. Girl looks cute, too (even with the blurred face)
@scars
lol. I said he bangs hookers. Not JUST hookers. You’re absolutely mad if you think he’s using no game. Watch it again. One of the better day game infields out there:
yeah it’s a good vid. I think she’d be hot
LOL… she is a sugar girl…
Someone please tell this guy to just stop…

@sentient – yes she’s a sugar girl as he mentions himself. You don’t believe he pulled her I take it? PS – saw this on a discussion about the infield ”One thing about that vid. She’s a ‘sugar girl’ and had been on a date with some old guy before this, so she’s obviously hot as fuck, but would such a girl give sex away for free like that when she can get $1000+?

It’s idiotic that he would post… Read more »
@scars
lol chill bro.
plausible deniability is to smoke weed with him. weed is illegal in New York. That’s why he cut that part out and the part where he mentions his friend used to be a drug dealer around the 47 min mark. I think she has a job interview coming up in a couple days and is nervous she’ll fail the drug test if she smokes with him. that’s why he talks about the drug kit to test it.
This infield is better than anything Krauser has ever put out. Sentient is just being closed minded. I’ll wait for @WIA to jump in
@J – chill? That wasn’t my post lol. It’s in quotes. Its just a post i found when looking for discussion on the infield. I have no views either way! lol
@J – Yeah, i’d say it’s definitely one of his better infields, either way. Some of the ones in his products are nowhere near as good.
@sentient – they go to his place and not hers, so maybe not just a free cab ride? Maybe it was more out of her way! 🙂 Who knows. Didn’t seem to be that much attraction coming from her side as you say, but then I DO like his odds if he managed to get her back to his place and get high with her etc.
Hey fanbois be fanbois.
I don’t give a flying fuck about Krausers infields… Or RSD… Or whatever pay to play guy you fellas are fetting excited over today.
Just simple logic here… You advertise “The World’s Greatest Pickup Coach” and you yourself put up a tout video where you have a drink with a semi pro 6…? Fuck RSD must be laughing their asses off… Of course their heads are firmly up them so we just hear muffled chortling… Maybe Todd can get some traction here…
Hey you guys interested in investing in the bridge market? Let’s talk.
Why the fuck would this idiot post a sugar girl “pull”?
Because she knows enough about how to play this game (all this teasing and luring with sexual references), so the interaction looks more fun than some rapport infields.
Where’s the tension though?

She knows? She have a cam too?
“Hey fanbois be fanbois.” did you forget about the part that I’m the one linked to Krauser saying he bangs hookers? I stand by the statement. I went through JMULVs other infields. They are shit bro.

I often tell my wing “I don’t give a shit what todd said, listen to me. that shit doesn’t work” Cause he’s always been boring to me and doesn’t show intent. I like Mystery Method. I’ve read it.

I’ll tell you another thing JMULV’s inane constant, nervous laughter is a big tell… Not in his favor. Don’t do this.
looks a bit like she’s playing with her food and teasing him during the whole interaction really. It’s him doing lots of pulling (and very little ‘push’) but he’s keeping it together and being somewhat fun in fairness. DHV’s about being a DJ. Sexualises convo etc. She never seems to be chasing at all though, and I don’t see much attraction there? But then she agrees to go back to his place after he’s made his desire crystal clear which is typically a very good sign indeed. Hmmmm So they get to his place and he goes in for the… Read more »

I read Archie’s comment earlier… And implicitly I agree… hence “unremarkable” and again I say if you do daygame or street stops you will do it better than this…
So it’s still strange he would post something “portentous” that involves a semi pro, and which clearly he isn’t generating much attraction.
Why invite scrutiny when you already are being dinged as a pay for play guy?
Unless you have nothing else.
Because this example is easy to get – day in day out – with regular civilian girls. Who are better looking. lol

Making it “just happen” I’m not saying he does nothing. I’m saying she does her thing too (like with the incest references or making fun of him and calling him a hooker), so of course he shows it as the most interesting interaction.

I hope this doesn’t come out too defensive, at least from my conscious mind my intent is to learn not to defend my ego (I know that I suck at club game so ego defense is futile). Regarding A2: I thought 3 IOIs was a good rule of thumb for A2 and move to A3. There was someone (HABD maybe?) which was quite liberal with counting “just being around you” as an IOI. I got prolonged eye contact and deliberate proximity, hence I thought I had A2. @IRL: I wouldn’t (shouldn’t?) count as “hovering around chicks” if they move towards… Read more »
Sentient Comfort tests are exceedingly rare. Mostly fitness test disguised as comfort tests. Easy to fail. Yeah, I have gone back and forth on whether or not “comfort tests” actually exist apart from fitness tests. Currently, I think they do in our specific case. Someone here posted on another thread how to distinguish the two, and it resonated with me. Its not exactly scientific, but if you sense that she is coming from a position of superiority, its definitely a fitness test, no matter the language she uses. However, if you sense she is coming from a position of submissiveness,… Read more »

You ve passed my nerd test.
The boob brush may not have been intentional Always assume that boob brushes are intentional without strong facts otherwise, such as the girl blushes and apologizes, etc. IRL: A beta bait at best Yeah, even so, it’s social A2…IAS isn’t invisible IRL: Instead of turning to face her, I’d take a step back to push my back against her, threw something like “watch it kid, you’re in my personal space” over my shoulder and rolled off to engage girls in front of me. Good analysis and suggestions. I wouldn’t (shouldn’t?) count as “hovering around chicks” if they move towards me…… Read more »
Fri. night was a milestone night in one sense…there was a smokin’ hot early 20s short brunette…tatted up and showing midriff…killer bod…looked like a biker babe…I asked her to dance and we danced and she kept shoving one of her tits at me as we danced…
…oh, yeah, the milestone was that she used to work at the bar and most girls who work at the bar won’t dance with me, supposedly because they get teased by other workers…so this ex-worker danced with me…a milestone
IAS Try this, next time do everything in your FR in the 3 or 4 hours you have before going to the club. That kind of basic socialization you did at the club as a warm up. You are a cool social middle age guy, with a wife and a mistress. You’re not one of the incels here. So act like it. Turn down your IOI Finder… You aren’t at the place right now where you need to decipher micro IOIs. DHV until you are SURE you have strong IOIs… Because? You are a cool socially savvy middle age guy… Read more »

“then she might actually be fearful of losing her alpha, and is just seeking a warm embrace.”
Yeah these are really fitness tests. There is a difference in how she acts between being really fearful and just seeking assurance you are still there.
Since you aren’t saying everything is going how you want, consider you might be failing these. Try throwing in some stronger responses…
Her : “Would you ever leave me?”
You: “Don’t give me a reason to.”
Turn down your IOI Finder… You aren’t at the place right now where you need to decipher micro IOIs.
IAS has a problem with calibration, which he knows about. It’s good for him to work on it.
DHV until you are SURE you have strong IOIs… Because? …
…you enjoy over-gaming and you’re overloaded with youthful energy

This is why playing at pick up will never be the same as actually picking girls up… All those IOIs you totally were getting… you never get to find out how real they really were.
Legend in Own Mind problem…
IAS – find the baseline, that is how you calibrate…
