In my journey I have seen a lot of different types of game, from the old school Ross Jefferies Hypno-rape to the Current and more popular Natural game. I have come to admire the Natural style more because it allows one to be less "Up in their head" and more in the moment. Recently though I have found that even within the natural game of Daygame.com and various others, I have found that they still employ a bunch of methods, techniques and systems to get your into approaching/talking/flirting and seduction. What I have experienced with this type of game is, even though it is natural, it still puts you in your head and comes off as forced and/or scripted when you don't have the right mindsets and are simply following a plan or a set blueprint for how to approach, how to talk and how to interact. On the other side of the coin, these methods can be and are very powerful when you become a master but aren't too good for newbies who have a shitty mindset and don't KNOW that they are "The Shit". These are what I would call Method-focused Natural Game.

There are also what I call the Mindset-focused Natural Game. In this type of game, the inner game is the focus. The way in which you achieve the seduction are only hindered by the way you see yourself and others. Your attitudes and emotions, as well as your ability to remain calm and assess the interaction, almost on a different plane in the moment, will determine your efficacy. James Marshall and his company The Natural Lifestyles are structured around this. They teach a lot of Inner-game mindsets; a sort of HOW to think, instead of WHAT to think about. Everything works differently for different people. But for newbies who come to a bootcamp with no confidence, no skills and no fucking idea of what to do or who they are or could become -- this type of false-mindset destroying, positive mindset building approach to game, I would argue is much more effective. I can say that even before I learnt game, even before I knew of such as thing as a pickup artist, when I felt good about myself, when I knew who I was and that I was the shit, I would project that. No methods or blueprints or anything, except for pure intent, sexual energy, powerful positivity mindsets which help you to push through all the negativity and anxiety. An example of this is the idea of Social Freedom where you don't give a fuck about what other people think of you, their opinions are essentially moot.

I may be a bit biased, but I feel that the Mindset-focusing helps to internalize new truths which come out in your personality and fight against all the crap you have been conditioned to believe about women, the world and yourself.

TL;DR: Method-focused natural game (Tips and tricks which help you be natural) vs Mindset focused natural game (Internalizable mindsets and postive beliefs which naturally fuel your confidence and projection of value.)
