6 foot fence / 12 strawberries / no real answer to the farmer


iNvester / Denier / Idealist




Met this girl in a library a while back. She was wearing a velvet blazer. A couple weeks ago we went to a loud music lounge after a nap and sat on a couch watching the DJ. She cuddled in to me and always holds my arm when we walk.


Is this evil?




Me: It's super cozy inside looking out at the snow. Feels very at ease like a carryover comfort from cuddling this morning.


Her: I guess it is a cozy day. Just makes me wish I could still be snuggling up with you.


Me [four hours later]: [std results photo]


Me: It would have been nice to stay in bed this morning. I enjoy even comfortable silences laying there with you.


Her: Trying to get sex on my mind huh? And it really would have been. [she picked up chase frames from me]


Her: There would have been more time to get frisky.


Her: Plus I do just love being by your side




So last night she came and napped again ("I love that you want me on another adventure and I would love to see you later. What time are you thinking?"). We went out and scouted four venues. Thursday, extreme cold weather.


Venue 1 free night was an early hours event we arrived in the last half hour for. It was dead through the window.


Venue 2 free night outskirt dive bar had an old neighborhood crowd playing pool. Didn't stay, but these are good to check because certain ones have the live rock crowd, and that sort of scene often hosts dance nights with eclectic music.


Venue 3 free night, different lounge than last time. She got a sparkling water and we sat on a couch watching the DJ. She put both legs over my one leg, so I'm flat back on the couch and she's turned into me. I have her kiss my neck a ton of times and we chat about her odd times going out, pickup lines, etc. She said an ideal line on her would be a comment on her outfit. Curious if direct genuine compliment openers are ever a good idea in a club if it's an investor who needs focused attention. Guessing most girls out would be testers. Note investors also test... it seems more about entertaining suitors in either series or parallel.


We watch this sexy latina girl in a full mesh bodysuit dancing sensually, and a cute group of chill girls with one twerking, hands on the floor sometimes, etc., a few other girls there with a guy each, various guys, a few gay guys dancing. Observed one approach on the latina and her friend. Guy and wing, looked like social connection, but maybe that's just an illusion of a natural approach, as one introduced the other. Obvious observation though is don't lean in! Got some drive-thru fries after.


Venue 4 free night, larger open concept club. Heavy bass. Same deal couch along the wall, her legs over mine. Had her kiss my neck a lot. She likes to rub my back and stare.




Back home, she apparently packed this lingerie suit and changed into it. She also brings extra panties and said in the past she was resistant to fingering because she didn't want her panties to get all wet. She ends up interrupting foreplay with asking me if she's going to have to go months without seeing me regularly and is trying to get me to pin down a number like will I see her every three weeks, or every two, etc. It's a major turnoff and makes me soft... and she can typically arouse me instantly. I give her a very warm reiteration of all the warnings against me I have been clear on before. She completely killed the vibe and despite a light nap with her earlier (can rarely get deep sleep with someone there) I had been up since 5:30am and it was now like 3am. So I slept.


In the morning she still laid naked on top of me, like every inch of skin. Similar resistance. I essentially freeze her out eventually in a warm way, but start getting ready for the day. When I come out of the bathroom she asks me to put it in her. She ends up talking again and it's clear she has some sort of psychological barrier towards sex from being a bad boy chasing hopeful romantic. Again boner killer.


Franco's classification would likely be Low Drive, Low Self Esteem. He'd say run.




Her [before arriving]: Ok. Leaving now and will be there in [##] minutes.


Her [once back home]: I hope I do get to have sex with you soon.


Me: I know. Eat something hearty [she's underweight and trying to gain]


Her: I'm just worried I missed my only chance. I do trust you and I do want to be with you in that way. Also, I will


Her: Do you still want that with me?




@Chase post yesterday:

The men who are most damaged by the player lifestyle are the ones who are hungry for love.

These guys go through the same cycle every time (I have seen it many times):

1️⃣ They get heartbroken by some girl they thought was their ‘true love’
2️⃣ They get into the game to never end up heartbroken again
3️⃣ Then they start trying to build ‘love connections’ with many of the women they hook up with
4️⃣ It totally fries their ability to feel the feelings they so want to feel
5️⃣ They then become disillusioned because they can no longer feel the feelings

(Often at this point they totally flip, start demanding younger men not hook up, say that it is the wrong path, become religious, “don’t do as I did, my son”, renounce their old ways, turn voluntarily celibate, etc.)

I’m going to give it to you frank:

If you are the ‘hungry for love’ type, you probably should NOT be a player.

But then again, the ‘hungry for love’ types seem to often have problems, no matter what they do:

➡️ If they don’t become players, they end up falling for wrong girl after wrong girl, having their hearts broken again and again

➡️ If they do become players, they end up burning through connection after connection until they become numb and they can’t feel the love feelings anymore

The fact is when a guy is hungry for love, he runs into the wrong situations with the wrong women pretty much no matter which path he selects.

The REAL solution is for the guy in question to fix whatever internal issues he is dealing with that have made him ‘hungry for love’ in the first place.

Parental neglect, etc. He needs to sort that.

No woman is ever going to be a substitute for the mother’s love such men are truly seeking.

No woman will ever love her lover the way she will love her son.

If you are not the ‘hungry for love’ type, you can be a player, then stop being a player, and there is not really any kind of lasting negative effect. I know a bunch of former players who are happily married with a bunch of kids (we’re talking dudes with triple digit notch counts, now with 4+ kids and a white picket fence).

But the guys who are hungry for love, their real burning question is not “to be or not to be a player?” but rather “am I going to fix this love hunger issue I have or will I forever chase emotions until heartbreak or overuse has numbed me?”

Like expressed in 60 Years of Challenge's Relationship Roulette, it is important to examine your need for affection. I have a great relationship with family. Despite exploring how enjoyable milf logistics can be, I am pretty certain my head's on straight in that area too. But I do have an extreme liking for skin to skin. Part of it is also knowing how strong of a retention technique it can be. Sounds clinical, but most girls seem to really crave and specifically ask for it once they've been held.


Not sure if the warning is about burning out the chemical ability to pair bond, or maybe desensitization from girls exhibiting attachment.


Another Chase post yesterday:

It’s okay to have double standards in your love life.

Double standards exist because the sexes are not the same.

As far as past promiscuity goes, when it has been studied, it “accounted for almost twice as much variance in infidelity (r2 = .45) [for women] as it did for males (r2 = .25).”

It is simply easier for a man with a promiscuous past to settle into the “settled family man” role, and that role is much more likely to stick for him, than it is for a woman with a promiscuous past to settle into the “settled homemaker” role and stick with it.

Part of the reason for that is that a one-night stand or a casual fling does not set off the pair-bonding mechanisms in a man’s brain the way it does in a woman’s brain. The neurochemistry is different:

➡️ Female pair-bonding is driven by OXYTOCIN, which releases through skin-to-skin contact, and especially through sex and orgasm. Even just hooking up with a man once can kick off pair-bonding for her.

➡️ Male pair-bonding is driven by VASOPRESSIN, which releases through trust-building and shared challenges. Men do not start pair-bonding until they begin to trust a woman and overcome things with her. While that is possible to happen quickly, most guys who are just hooking up with girls don’t build a lot of trust with them or overcome any real challenges with them first, so the pair-bonding mechanism isn’t getting switched on and off during most flings.

(This is different for the men who have lots of brief-but-impassioned romances with girl after girl; the tempestuous types of men. These guys do a lot of pair-bonding and burn through their pair-bond ability over time.)

Anyway: there are men who are fine and comfortable entering settled relationships with promiscuous women.

I know guys like this. They even prefer promiscuous women.

Generally, they are into swinging, open relationships/marriages, or other unconventional setups.

However, if a settled relationship with a promiscuous woman, who is, simply put, not as much inclined toward “forever fidelity”, is not something you want or are comfortable with, don’t feel like you have to wife up the promiscuous girl because “people on the Internet said it’s misogyny if you don’t.”

Most interesting point here is the oxytocin / vasopressin gender difference for pair bonding. Past post said it evolved man-to-man??? Trust-building and shared challenges makes sense. Curious how the first post above is impacted by cuddling tendencies for men if vasopressin is the pair bond affecter. Maybe LMR is a shared challenge and also consistent with sunken cost effect.


I don't always know how to do things differently. Like am I supposed to make a girl like me less... or not engage with the ones that are more passionate, and instead focus on a "one time only" strategy. Or it could simply be a Cluster B consideration. Maybe I am still decoupling animalistic sex from comfort and affection (different than a Madonna/whore complex) and it will sort out after another ten or twenty times.


Let's find out.

LR update:

She came one night for an invitation to sleep over. Choosing her outfit to see me is always a big deal. She said she might just wear jeans. I said I was hoping for an evening gown in heels. She showed up in all black with velour leggings, a leather skirt, a crop top turtleneck sweater (make that make sense...), and a black 3/4 trench. Pink fuzzy socks.

She set up a ceiling projection light and let me choose the color. She stripped easily and everything, but had clamped legs. She said she didn't want to feel like I invited her over just for sex and proposed we have sex in the morning.

She had brought over a newly bought bottle of whipped cream, and had me close my eyes while she drew a heart on my chest and licked it off. She did the whole treasure trail, but wouldn't blow it unprotected. She was legitimately shocked I'd never played with whipped cream cause she made up in her head I've got a lay count in the hundreds.

In the morning she wanted to do whipped cream kisses again, and then put on some separate lingerie she'd packed - an innocent nightie.



Out of respect for Hector I will be on break from the forum until I can approach ten girls.

I went to go read Hector's reply now


and see the thread got locked? I'm going to write as I read... @Hector Papi Castillo , as much as this was a self-imposed drop-and-give-me-20 (well, 10...) exercise, the even greater shift you inspired was a while ago with the genuine man series, around the time I read @Chase 's "better than jerk". I thought you were on a non-compete agreement, barred from indirectly advertising by being insightful on the forum. So you guys are doing a shed everything you know thing, empty your mind, and get in touch with your sexual intention...

Ok I see a lot on PUA coaches and such... the only other ones I know are Tony Depp, Alek, and maybe Skills? James Cruse. Warped Mindless retired? Juggler and Beckster / Ablaze / Mystery... No idea what other people teach. I like Franco's books (different from mod Franco) for the psychology side (thanks to a GC guest article). See the classic books thread if interested. When I think "pickup" I think A1 through C1. I don't know if you've seen his interviews, but Erik's a lover of women. It's simply about structuring the timeline in a frame that inspires her to chase, and gets her comfortable enough to comply with moving and isolation, with a focus on the need to physically move it forward. Completely compatible with VAC and SAC.

I just reached "don't say kino" lol. I think this came from the NLP terms of senses as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (touch). So it got co-opted when the nerds were too scared by the prospect of touching a woman. Calling it something technical was more akin to an instruction manual they could act on without emotionally reacting. I didn't think anyone used this term anymore anyways. I have no idea though... I'm not on instagram or tk tok at all. I read reuters and ap news. What I don't like is the implicit trashing of @Teevster with the phrase "silly gambits". It's like coming into his house and spitting on the carpet. I understand the celebratory state though.

***

@Improper re: "The thing that raised my value was my direct ask, "i think ur beautiful, can I take you on a date?" delivered very smoothly."

I like this... I think there's a lot of power in owning your intentions and delivering it in a non-needy way. I definitely think it can be done at the right time even with indirect game. Maybe framed differently than asking "can I" though...

What's up with the @noReason guy... didn't he train with Hector? And how is it harder... the statement of intent and dropping all tools to get back to instincts seems less burdensome mentally than structured game.

I like @Skills line "i really like your style, you look like someone worth getting to know" a lot better than generic beautiful. It's in line with Chase's genuine compliments... something she can control, with additional focus on intent to screen and qualify her. She won't be touched by another compliment on her natural beauty if she's heard it all her life, hundreds or even thousands of times (key Mystery concept). And agreed sales analogy is ok (though maybe not ideal, it may be the closest metaphor out there, and does help to explain things like handling objections). It's proposing meeting her need (or ideally having it be her idea to chase filling it) and bringing her around to agreeing it can benefit her (sex/connection... key portion of V in VAC).

I see some flight attendant and race discussion... my point on that was just she might be very flighty so careful not to get hurt is all.

For the record I did not interpret things that way. there are lot of silly gambits out there. I found not evidence they were referring to me specifically. But in all honesty, I mostly skimmed through the thread.

I assume he's referring to Brad P with silly gambits... those are some of the silliest gambits ever.

Fair enough! I also get the feeling you have fairly thick skin regardless.

Correction it was "weird ass gambits"

I believe he's in his 20's... Other than guys who were teaching when we were kids, I don't know of anyone else who teaches or even uses the word gambits outside of this forum. So to me it's synonymous with Teevster, especially given all the reports here where guys use them, especially the 8 orgasms.

Regardless, bashing any and all tactics while posting here is like.... Why are you here.... It's like posting freestyle rap on a classical music forum and saying hey nerds fuck all that sheet music shit... Make some real music... And then running off laughing without joining any discussions. Like... Ok... Thanks for your input...

Now I would be really interested in hearing how to deliver a grounding identity story (like leaving one's job to become an entrepreneur..?) without repeating any phrases ever delivered in the past!

I can understand the exercise... Maybe improv classes could be beneficial. But thinking a yes ladder is evil or something... Sounds like someone's mind is being purposely poisoned against it... I use it with my niece just to get her focused on one point at a time when she's emotionally overwhelmed and about to bail.

Anyways, it doesn't matter much... I just want more field reports so we can discuss social dynamics and everyone can improve.

This is a yes ladder...

In the end only three things matter:

1. Is it true? If not, fuck it, because it's false.

2. Is it good? Or at least neutral when it's neither? If not, fuck it, because it's evil.

3. Is it fun? If not, fuck it, because we're having fun.

Lol I'll stop...

On the kissing point though... Kissing is a comfort tool... I've definitely done it on a date. It's when it gets to public foreplay that it can spark ASD.

Avoiding the kiss to me is meant to maintain either sexual tension (to not over validate her to the point of her feeling no need to proceed)...

...or to maintain plausible deniability.

Edit: on sales vs. salesy... I think if you are tipped into "convincing" mode, it's because you are in the chase frame from going direct and showing interest in her before she shows it in you. So if going direct, maybe get to qualifying a little faster... I dunno... something seems flipped about that dynamic...

Here's the crux of it...

But how often are you doing something and she knows what you're doing and goes "ok fuck it whatever i need to get laid" or she thinks "i mean this is obviously bs but he's better than everyone else lol" and you're over there in the mirror flexing cuz you think ur the second coming of Casanova?
There was a report I can't find involving brushing past the girl to the mirror (maintaining disinterest). I remember the girl commented on the effect it had on her.
Or, you can have plausible deniability — an excuse to go to the area. That excuse can be anything. In my report after the second lockdown, I used a mirror as an excuse to walk up to a girl. I spotted a mirror and went there to fix my hair. Standing next to her, I could approach her.

An indirect opener maintains indirect game... A2 before A3. Direct or indirect-direct is A3 before A2, so it screens for girls who already have F2M interest (and compliance). Or you can work from low compliance in a chasing position.

  • A1: The Approach (Opening): The man approaches a "set" (group) and runs an opener to reach the Social Hook Point—the moment the group enjoys the conversation and wants the man to stay.
  • A2: Female-to-Male Interest: The man demonstrates higher value (DHV) while simultaneously showing disinterest (often using a Neg) toward the target. She responds by giving Indicators of Interest (IOIs), which gauge progress.
  • A3: Male-to-Female Interest: The man baits the woman to become more invested in the interaction (e.g., qualifying her or testing compliance), and then rewards her efforts with indicators of interest. This phase focuses on getting compliance.

2. Comfort (C-Phases / Mid-game): Once attraction is established, the focus shifts to building comfort and trust.

Basically just wait til she looks down or touches her hair before telling her that she's beautiful or validating her. All thoughts welcome.

I saw Skills and Archie replied in other threads, so in the interest of proper habits, maybe 10 night game approaches are in order before reading...
