We hear all the time from gamers that “game is self improvement”.  That’s bull.  Eric over at Dalrock explained why.

Part of the problem with Game is, while it recognizes the cultural tendency of our women to reject worthy men and pursue losers, does nothing to change women’s fundamental attitudes. Men who follow Game fail to understand that the women they ‘conquer’ STILL despise them as males. Worse still, these men don’t realize that, in spite of their increased sexual conquests and female attention; they’ve locked themselves into a downward spiral from which they may never extricate themselves.

If men have to become more like these losers and jerks to obtain female favors, they, by necessity, have to turn from the path of self-improvement (or, in religious terms the way to moral perfection) and pursue the directly opposite course. To make it even worse, the natural (or God-given) tendency of men to possess and protect a female for procreative purposes turns from a social benefit into a societal liability. This is because these men—in order to sustain these kinds of relationships—have to sink to lower and lower levels of degeneracy since they are in constant competition with other males who are WORSE than themselves. The best course for men to follow is escaping these kinds of relationships by escaping the kinds of women who make them possible in the first place.
