There is no game unless you create one :rolli:. You're terribly gullible with these dating theories. Life and love are not all theories or systems where you put in one action and receive one in return; there are way too many variables, particularly human emotion.
Your first paragraph just confirms the misogynistic tones to those theories anyway. It's this "us vs. them" mentality. Don't trust THEM, the "women".
Your "field" will always be a battlefield with that attitude. You'll never know any woman as a person because you cannot accept what one tells you as her truth, but you must fit her into a system that makes sense in your fabricated game world.
Didn't create the game. It has always been there. Long before you or I were born. I would prefer if there was no game but since it is a reality adaption seems in order. Not saying this to be cute only to shine a light of truth on an amoral reality. If you wish to kill the messenger, then thats on you.
I don't put a value judgment on this therefore there is no right and wrong player. I don't appreciate the ad hominem attack of alledgedl advocating game theorys which are
misogynistic (in other words; in this context not politically correct or obscure drivle or group think). A person could call you names too or associate you with malign terms; I on the other hand just make it a point for the sake of polite debate to give you the benefit of the doubt. Female friends are cool if you want them as friends; if you don't want to make each sexual interest a platonic friend then its not so cool. I differ in the ladder theory in that I value female friends that that are sexy if they earn their friend status by merrit and not false pretenses.
Have often seen a lot of young men get very bad advice from those who are unable to explain the introduction into game, the strategies etc. where I see a lot of frustrated chumps failing. They are often too proud or too scared to speak up and if they do settle it is often for less.
Mid-late game, long term seduction and well into a relationship I find majority of western females appreciate the process well…but until someone gets the beginning down they don't reach that point with a high caliber target…and if women are ignorant and unable to read the nonverbal body language and other cues by their orbiter then even better to acknowledge this all too common occurrence.
Not trying to be seductive and in fact know it is somewhat antiseductive to break down what society has romanticized and demonstrate it in an simple and straight forward explanation (as least as much as possible/practicable.)
