Integrating stoic philosophy with game?

Ray donovan (showtime) has been mentioned here and I'm sure there are others. The common thread in stoic men is that they are focused and driven by a bigger picture than just gaming girls/getting laid. Their success with women is a byproduct of their success in life.

Don't try to achieve happiness by banging women alone. Use moderation.

Don't turn a woman into the sole pursuit in your life. Use moderation.

it's hard for me to imagine a stoic showing interest or emotion.

You want to be emotionally unreactive to her.

Imagine going up to a girl, escalating, being happy, cracking jokes, being serious, being playful, being stern, pushing things forward, being non-needy, enjoying yourself. Girl is reciprocating and you're both having a great time.

Now imagine the above picture with the girl stoney faced. She's saying "fuck off". Her arms are folded. She's scowling. And the guy is being EXACTLY THE SAME.

He isn't sulking. He isn't asking for anything. He isn't pushing for anything. He's not trying to sex her up because she still hasn't "hooked", he's not moving to stage 5 with her still on stage 1. Equally he doesn't care. She's being bitchy and that's fine, he's still having a good time. Not stupid or inane or ignoring her, just maintaining a positive and outgoing frame.

Make sense?
