How exactly does the game get "easier" for guys as we get older?

You say you're in college, so I'm not sure if you've learned to drive yet. However, anyone who has can tell you that when you first start out you're a mess. You have to keep a million things in mind, and juggling them all as you drive along a busy street seems next to impossible.

However, after a few weeks, months, years, whatever, you notice that you're not on the edge all the time. You're not having to deal with a million different things because many of them have become automatic. You've internalised them.

So it is with TRP.

When you start, you've got to learn to deal with shit tests, raise your SMV, sort your life out, and get peace of mind on top of all that.

After 10 years, you'll still be working to raise your SMV, but things like breezing through shit tests become automatic. It's like parking a car - you just recognise the situation, and smoothly complete a maneuver you've done hundreds of times before.

It gets easier because, while a woman's worth is tied to her looks, which goes down over time, a man's value goes up over time, since it's based upon social connections, and social value, and resources.

When I got divorced in my 30s, I was amazed at how the game had changed in my favor. Most of the good looking girls that were engaged or newly married that I thought were "gone forever" were getting out of marriages after several years of unfulfilling unsatisfying lives with their husbands (including rarely having sex after years of marriage).

They were extremely ready to hook up and appreciated that I owned my own home, had my own business, and had a good social life - which made things unbelievably easier than it was in my 20s.

It's easier if you keep improving. You don't suffer negative points with most girls for being 30, yet you get to cash in your improved status and skills. Also, you're better at the game.

Like a veteran quarterback. Sure he's not as young and some stats might be down, but he may have got stronger, better skilled, and best of all... The game has slowed down for him. He sees what the opposition is doing as they're doing it. It's no longer one big flash of action, but a slow motion choreography. Many quarterbacks have said this. I feel like dating at 30 feels just like this.

You learn to stop giving a shit about her and there'll be fifty more women to approach tomorrow.

Plus you're usually more settled. At 23 a guy might not be either a winner or a loser yet. By 32 the dice have been cast.

So how exactly does the game get "easier" for guys when we are 30 compared to being a 21 year old in college?

It's based on the assumption that you're constantly improving yourself while you're young. The fruits of your labor accumulate overtime and drastically raise your SMV (through lifting, career-building, and socializing).

If you're the average Joe and you just fuck around in your youth, don't assume that your SMV will magically be higher when you're 30.

A more accurate statement would be "10-20 years of experience will make things easier".

You're really talking about two different things, first your environment in college--lots of good looking pussy around, lots of free time, etc., and the second is about how game becomes easier.

Game because easier b/c you become a Man-in-Full. For example, I basically piss out a quart of confidence when I get up in the morning. If I see a girl I want to 'cold approach' I go up and start talking to her and Everything Is Fine. Why? Because I've been doing this for years, and it's easy. Maybe I get her number, maybe I don't...if I do, great, if not, another girl I find attractive will be along in a while.

Oh, and my life is pretty great, as I'm making bank, have a ton of freedom and am dating/mating/plating 19-26 year olds.

Sure, you're surrounded by plenty of hot girls giving it up for free, but there is also Life After College, which, done right, will be fine, and often times better.

Also, you've been practicing for years getting girls hotter than you (successful or not), so you have been fighting an uphill battle. Girls, however, have had everything handed to them for years and had to practice saying "no" (or not). So you have experience getting what you want and have much more skill, and they're slowly starting to realize they have to start learning NOW.

Women get easier.
You have money.

Other than that it's not really "easier". Also, as a corollary to point 1: your wife pool is basically nonexistent if you don't pick out a good one in college. It's sluts all the way down.

It assumes that your SMV will rise as you grow older till early 40's. This only holds true if you actively work to improve yourself in line with RP tenets. For the majority of the male population SMV peaks at around 26-27.

If you follow RP tenets, self improve and raise SMV then game becomes easier due to among others experience, higher status and better frame control.

More resources.
More experience.
(hopefully) Better physique.
Less or none shits given.
Sex and/or women is not your primary objective in life anymore.

Mo money, fewer problems.

Self confidence, sense of purpose, direction and the ability to think with more than just your dick: all these things show as you get older.

The secret: stay in good shape, be a little charming, learn to be funny, read, learn to dance, dress well, go where women of class and taste are. You'll never have to settle and you'll never be alone.
