Let us define Game as technical skill in opening, flirting, escalating etc. etc. and SMV as basics like looks and social status.
There is something in between that seems much much more important than both of these.
The articles here do touch on this, and I like that, in the focus on "fundamentals" in a broader sense beyond what's classically defined as SMV, but I'd like to try to organize this in a concrete action-relevant way.
The idea that a guy can come out of his nerd cave and use special powers to lure hot women back is, of course, completely absurd.
Guys who sleep with attractive women all universally seem to have: 1) very high level social skills in general and 2) a lifestyle that includes an active social life, cool parties, friendships with hot women (not "friend zone" friendships obviously, real ones), and friendships with guys who fuck hot women (and not just other PUAs)
If you're not someone that can get high value cool people to want to hang out with you, by your own personality and charisma alone, then seducing hot women regularly is ludicrous.
Now I don't mean in a purely machiavallian sense, obviously for your own happiness be friends with people you like to spend time with and enjoy their company and who hold values similar to your own. But from a global perspective, life circumstances are not an accident, you are the average of the 5 closest people to you, and men who are succesfull with hot women also have hot women friends, hang out with naturals, and generally have a solid social circle of cool outgoing people.
The site talks about some of this, things like voice tone, looking hip and current, body language on the one hand, and some articles on generally being a good conversationalist on the other, but they feel a bit disjoint.
How would you target this set of fundamentals specifically? As in, become less socially awkward, more outgoing, more fun to be around, more all around "cool", in practical, even if over the long run, set of actionable steps? Anyone know someone who has done this? Tons of guys are like this, then learn game and kill it, and tons of guys are not like this, and learn game and just get a higher close rate on the girls they would be sleeping with anyway.
