As you know, I think pop music provides a useful insight into the mindset of the masses. Not because its authors are so magnificently empathetic or emotive, but because what appeals to the masses versus what does not is instructive concerning what is going on inside all those little irrational minds.
Call Me Maybe is a catchy, well-crafted little pop song that perfectly illustrates some of the core concepts of Game, so perfectly that it wouldn't surprise me if it was written by a man cognizant of the theory.
(Checks Wikipedia) Yep, the authors are listed as Carly Rae Jepsen, (the singer), Josh Ramsay, and Tavish Crowe. Given my experience in the music industry, I'd guess Jepsen probably provided the base concept and a line or two, but the men wrote most of the lyrics and all of the music. Anyhow, here's the chorus:
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right, at you baby, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys, try to chase me, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
What do we observe here?
1. No time limit. No concerns about it being too soon.
2. The number is provided without request.
3. She can't meet his eyes. In other words, he exhibits dominance.
4. The interest - and loyalty - of other males is of no interest to her and instills no attraction for them in her.
5. She acknowledges that she is departing from female social norms, "this is crazy", but she does it anyhow.
This is what actual female attraction looks like. This is what Alphas see on a regular basis, if not necessarily every day. This is what it looks like if a girl is genuinely into you. If she is not behaving in this manner, it doesn't mean you can't seduce her or somehow attract her, but she is not actively attracted to you.
Note that the girl isn't being a slut or anything, she's just sending an unmistakable indicator of interest that cannot be misinterpreted. That's what very attracted women do. Here is the lesson: the level of a woman's attraction to a man is measured by the directness of her indicator of interest.
I note that the video is a subversion of the song from start to finish, not merely in the obvious way, but in the way that the singer is providing indirect indicators of interest, in which the humor is provided by the clumsy obviousness of them.
