Socializing What are your guy's takes on gaming during a corona outbreak?

[Velasco]

I'm from South America actually. living in the USA.

Maybe it is a big joke

Not maybe. It is a joke. I dont care about what's happening in XYZ country. There's nothing I can do about that. For fucks sake, focus on yourselves and only what you can control. I control what I put inside my body (whole foods VS junk food, not smoking to damage my lunges, exercising, taking my supplements etc). How many of those reported deaths that were in your age bracket (18-45) who also had super healthy immune systems? Fuck the mainstream news lmao.

 

[Velasco]

While we are on Ciadini, I see many are also suspectible to the social proof principle as well.

Because there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this virus

When people are uncertain, they are more likely to use other’s actions to decide how they themselves should act. especially when we view those others as similar to ourselves.

so we see a lot of guys buying unnecessary shit because they see others doing so...because hey man ya never know, ya know....right ?

It's been Interesting to see these dynamics play out tho

If you really have to go out:

1. Avoid people who look sick in club. Obvious one right there.

2. Go out as little as possible. Instead make the most of your outings - see next point.

3. When out, do the most out of it. Try to go for the pulls, but collect numbers. This is key - because you can then text from home, and basically "stock up" on pussy. You can have like 10 numbers to play with from your home, which makes sure you do not have to go out that much to crowded areas. Also, stockpiling numbers will give you a lot to play with in case gouvernments shuts down clubs (which has already happened in some countries).

4. Avoid getting your immune system weak by drinking too much. I think this one is important

5. No dancefloor game (avoid dancefloors) and wash hands often in clubs.

Not field tested, but that's kind of my plan.

 

[DarkKnight]

@Velasco You're right. Much is uncertain about the subject.

Hence why I take precautions. I'll leave it at that.

 

[Mr.Rob]

I'd go out now and try to get as much pussy as possible before things pop off and people start self quarantining in about 2-5 weeks (my amateur prediction).

Maybe I'm wrong in my prediction but I feel pretty confident at this point that is an event that will happen in the US (just like in China, Italy,) whether it's rationale or not.

Italy and China have both experienced over fill of hospitals and not enough beds or workers to care for dying people (hence the quarantine mandates)

This thing is just beginning go enjoy and find a girl before shit gets crazy is my 2 cents.

Lots of helpful comments above. I'm not very worried about if I get the virus - I'm young and in good shape so I'll survive / kick the thing pretty quickly. I'd likely just quarantine myself and stay home if I suspected that I'm showing symptoms. I've been studying the virus for hours today and this is the conclusion I reached.

So, that in mind, most people I'm seeing out in night game and most of the women I'm going for (21-32) aren't in life threatening danger. There's still a good number of people going out since it's the weekend before St. Patrick's day. In few weeks / a month from now... that could be different.

Yet, if that is the case, let's consider this: the girls that are going out who want dick, will really want dick. Just like girls at the club on rainy nights / when there's bad weather. They're out for a purpose if they're disregarding all that to go find a certain something....

There is a bit of misplaced thinking here. As healthy young men the virus won't do jack shit to us. But collectively as a society there is a moral obligation to all take measures to limit contagion in order to prevent old and sick people coming in casual contact with us getting it and suffering, and to prevent hospital facility overload. And so we should all try to get our sexual needs met while minimising exposure to crowded areas.

Here, I fully agree. I still wonder why in Romania (my country), special measures to protect elderly people haven't been taken (besides this, I think our Health Minister did just fine).

And so we should all try to get our sexual needs met while minimising exposure to crowded areas.

The best option is online dating. The second best option is daygame, since many areas are depopulated. No turists and the lone girls wandering around are surely out for some fresh air.

At risk populations should stay inside, and away from people who are going into crowded areas. Then non risk populations should stay away from at risk ones.

Doesn't mean we have to shut down the whole shebang / convert to online dating. Just moderate ourselves properly.

 

[Científico]

A lot of the social dancing events I rely on to meet women are now getting shut down. I anticipate many social opportunities, meetups, nightclubs, etc will be severely curtailed as this pandemic gets worse. It will get worse before it gets better and as the case totals climb the societal freakout will also increase.

Daygame will still be possible in my opinion, since people still have to go out to buy food and do other errands. The other option during this time is to refine online dating game.

However, I've already had two date cancellations because of this stupid virus, and since women tend to be more risk-averse I suspect there may need to be a higher interest threshold to get them out on a date.

Honestly, since after next week I anticipate a lot of working from home, I might just use this time to catch up on some long-overdue personal projects. I have one regular FB right now to keep me satisfied, and once this virus blows over in a few months we can all return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Indeed, Starting tomorrow there will be state of emergency declared and I expect few and few people outside. Yesterday the city was empty. I guess I'll limit my daygame sessions at 3-4 per week.

Dudes! I've been reading this thread since it was posted and know there's members from all over the world here. This will affect some more than others. Being from the UK with very little measures currently in place I didn't think it would have had such a huge impact in my area with the closest diagnosis about a 45 minute drive away.

I went out last night and legitimately there were 48 people out (not even 25% of the usual turn out in a really small club) 10 girls, 2 with their boyfriends and 1 a former lover. Some of these girls were more into hanging out with each other and clinging on to each other for dear life. Not being social at all.

The playing fields just got a lot harder. It's hard to have abundance mentality looking at this picture, it looks like they're going to become very scarce for a while.

I got tested positive for covid-19 virus today. I've only been out 2 times over the last 2 weeks. I would stay away from the clubs altogether. Corona might not be harmful for people in our age group but older people are in danger. Change your focus and focus on something else in this period.
Flux it's only a matter of time before your clubs will be closed - just look at Austria and Denmark.

As far as I know it can cause permanent damage to the lungs even if you are young. People take this far too lightly.

sorry to hear that! how are you feeling? how do you think you got it? and what are your symptoms (is it really bad or not that bad?)

-i personally stay banging a girl the whole weekend inside, my first time not going out in years... Try to stay in as much as possible... forget gaming, get a fwrd or 2 and bang away....

 

[Toby2030]

@Skills To be honest, it's not that bad. I sleep a lot, I have fever, I'm coughing quite a lot and in periods I have breathing problems. I'm not really sure where and how I got it but probably clubbing. Some of my friends friends have it as well - It could be through a friend, I'm not sure. I was at a very big private party about a week ago where I kissed 2 girls, and had sex with another one. I've tasted other people's drinks etc. But pinpointing where exactly is hard.

I am in NYC, was out and about today and no doubt there were some women around but as a whole, not too encouraging. Bars were relatively empty in the city and the foot traffic has decreased by at least 50%. I still got an approach in today but got rejected hard. My take is that online dating will take off even more.

What worries me is if they lock down the city, that is what is going to hurt a lot.

We are in for a rough few months, especially those of us that don't like online game. Best to focus on health/fitness and other projects during this time and avoid large public gatherings (like nightclubs and parties) until this blows over.

 

[Toby2030]

@Científico @Oh Pry I think you more or less can prepare yourself for the same that's happening here in Europe. Our gyms are closed, schools/unis are closed, people are sent home from work, clubs are closed, the borders are closed and people are advised to stay at home. Health and fitness isn't the way to go. There's not really much to do. Read a lot of books - that's what I'll focus on.

 

[Starboy]

Clubs,bars are going to be closed in LA which sucks cuz I was gonna go there in less than 2 weeks. Gotta scrap that trip. Same thing is going to happen in new york states and even restaurants are going to get closed down with takeout being the only option. This thing has really escalated. For someone like me who has never tried approaching during the day why even bother daygaming at this current time especially since i've never had sucess doing it. It's going to be incredibly difficult with this paranoia in our society happening and will getting laid at a time like this be worth all that additional effort. I really hope doctors and scientists come up with a breakthrough on this virus.
