Today I want to talk about game, and why you're probably missing 50% of it. If that sounds too PUAy for your taste then I advise you to exit this thread now.

Specifically, I want to address the lesser know side of game that I dub "Blunt Force Game". A little while back I realized too many people who want to improve their game and general sexual success fall into the "Mr. Technical Trap". Heres what it is, why it happens, common side effects of it and how you can understand and avoid it to improve your game. (Long fucking post, grab some caffeine and strap in boys, youll be clapping later.)

Many people who want to learn sexual strategy seek out simple reproducible techniques that will improve their game (think Benjamin Franklin effect, eye contact, body language, passing shit tests, holding frame, agree and amplify, etc.) and this is all well and good to an extent but because these techniques are relatively easy to explain and implement it skews the discussion on how to build your game disproportionately towards techniques. Furthermore it gives men the idea that socializing and picking up women is a "technical thing"; aka there has to be some amount of theory, deliberate thought or calculated effort behind your behavior so that it comes out in a socially savvy and effective way.This is a HUGE PITFALL. This will manifest in some level of social/performance anxiety, where on the low end you see picking up chicks as somewhat of a chore or unsettling at times when things aren't going your way or on the high end, full blown social/performance anxiety where all social and sexual interactions feel like a test of your ability and are essentially draining and shitty. I know a good bit of you can relate. I used to have low level social anxiety along with a little performance anxiety for a couple years until I started to honestly ask why I was getting anxious in social and sexual encounters, what circumstances would increase or decrease it, etc..

So how did I come to have this frame shift of seeing socializing and picking up women as this "technical" thing to now something else? It actually came out of my MMA class strangely enough (humor my story you ADD bastards). See I train brazilian jiu jitsu which to anyone who knows bjj or the bjj scene knows it has a hard-on for technique. It is super technique based to the point where if a big guy is sparring with a small guy and the big guy just powers through the little dudes defense instead of using technique, he is looked down upon, seen as not doing things in the spirit of jiu jitsu. I think there are a lot of people here that think like that. They see that guy down at the bar that maybe got a little drunk, is a bit loud and rambunctious and yet still getting girls and think "WTF? fuck that guy. That's not technical, thats just belligerent, how can these idiots find him charming, I bet he doesnt even read the 5 red pill and pick up blogs that I do.". I'm not saying everyone here feels that way or that strongly but I think that sentiment is present in a significant few, especially newbies and people involved in the Machiavellian skill circle jerk (sorry bros, I love you too). But back to MMA, when it comes to fighting I am a classic Mr. Technical because of my bjj background, and when I started learning Wrestling at my MMA gym I ran face first into the problem of having an overly technical mindset. I would try to do a wrestling take down but I was too focused on going slow and making sure my angles and foot placement was perfect to the point where I couldnt do the take down on a resisting partner. One of the high level wrestling guys at my gym just flat out told me "use more force, wrestling is more like a blunt object to the head than jiu jitsu." Later on it hit me. That loud rambunctious guy down at the bar is just using blunt social force to get success, which many people who study this shit either dont seem to get, or have a distaste for. But if i can liken socializing and fucking women to fighting then ideally, we as Red Pill Men want to create a fully developed and well rounded "game". One in which we know how and when to use techniques to our advantage and also a game that includes blunt force blows to some bitches head. (read: belligerent IDGAF alpha game). You have to know when to be the sword master and when to be the drunken brawler. Take what is useful from both and blend the styles, dont allow technique to restrict you ala Bruce Lee.

The hard thing about blunt force game is that it is difficult to discuss or explain exactly because it is not technical. From another light you could see it as so simple that its laughable youd have to explain it anyways. So what is it? In my opinion it is knowing what your character is as a person and in a one size fits all way applying it to social interactions. (I know that probably sounds stupid but really think about what that sentence means because there is some sexual/social wisdom there.) Its the age old "be yourself" mantra that naturals so enjoy saying to the newbie looking to learn success with women. People use words like "vulnerability" to describe this concept and it never jived with me because I always saw this as somewhat the opposite. Before you can be yourself you must know yourself (to some degree), then blunt force game is to simply "Project" yourself or your personality onto the interaction as a display of power and influence. I picture it as I am like a entity with certain personality traits and likes and dislikes and I sort of pump that entity up and then push it out onto the girl (or guy for socializing). Its what you think of when you see an "Outgoing" person. Their personality literally is getting pushed out onto their interactions. Too many dudes try to over-think socializing or pick up because the only thing they "put out" onto the interaction is technique or what they've read about online. The safe stuff, what they know will work. Anyways you guys should get the point now. Understand that Blunt Force Game is difficult to talk about because it is so basic and non technical that any explanation seems superfluous but all the same I encourage a discussion in this thread about it. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it as well as how you'd verbalize it if you're trying to explain it to a friend.

And I can already hear some of you guys saying "So your just rewording the concept of holding frame. Nice job buddy..." but its much bigger than that. It is being able to put your personality out onto others without having to overtly think about it. Holding frame is when someone comes in and tries to poke a hole in your frame or personality and then you just hold it indifferently. They are related but this is more like the concept of becoming extroverted or a natural alpha. Blunt force game is more like something you allow yourself to do than something you deliberately execute. This is why it works too: it displays you're comfortable with yourself because you're "putting yourself out there". It displays entitlement because you're not changing your approach to pander to your audience. It builds trust because you are honestly expressing who you are as a person. And it shows dominance because you are projecting your likes and dislikes onto the interaction with the subtext being your preferences come first, and these people can either step in line or get moving. This post has errors and is probably too long and a bit self indulgent but frankly I don't give a fuck, extract the greatness in it and deal with its weakness.

TL;DR: There are two sides of game, the often discussed technical game and the lesser known blunt force game. Your blunt force game is probably lagging. You should develop it.
