PSA: Please check out the pinned post about the updated rules.
There's a basic bar that any post needs to meet to be posted here. And that is, "Does this post help someone get laid or land a relationship or whatever they're looking for in dating?"
A shitpost where everyone's swapping what they think are unpopular opinions, while interesting, does not meet this basic requirement.

That people sometimes think they have game when they don’t and then blame it on their looks when the girl rejects them, when the reality is that their game sucked and they were boring, generic, try hards and predictable as fuck.

What I think OP is saying is that hes thinking of the typical dynamic of a woman will say they want a nice dude with X traits and mannerism but then the very same women will go after bad boy mcgee with the exact opposite traits.
Or women will say would would work on them (like game wise) but then actually doing those things does not work out and it honestly comes down to how good of an impression you left her at. For instance a dude ask a women how she would be asked out on a date, she states just say it and it would be fine. Dudes friend does this and women laughs in his face a fairly harsh rejection. Dudes other friend with a nice clothes, good odor, and decent natural looks walks up to the women and just bluntly states lets fuck and she goes with him.
This is what I think OP is getting at but its not really a women exclusive guys do this shit too (so its really a human thing). Like plenty of dudes have the virgin idea for a women, yet when they try and get into a woman's pants they want it to be super easy with no roadblocks.
Really what this gets at is both sides lie to each other and are not self aware enough to give honest advice about how to help the other get laid.

Like plenty of dudes have the virgin idea for a women
I'm sure there are a few, but deadass I've never met any guy who expect their partner to be a virgin.
What I've found a lot of, tho, are women expecting their partner to be traditional (provide for them, give them expensive gifts, etc), without being traditional themselves.
[–]Skizznitt 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well said.
People - like to latch on to the idea of the perfect partner, but aren't self aware enough to know what they really find attractive.

Meh, depends. If manipulation by itself makes you an asshole, then practically every woman on the face of the earth is an asshole by virtue of wearing make up.
Covering up blemishes and bad skin to give the appearance of youth and healthiness and even contouring to create fake cheek bones and a thinner face is all manipulation. It's just normalized.
Everyone does what they can do get skin in the game. Some manipulation is downright fucking worse than others but dating is pretty much amoral.
[–]great_account 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Hey man, you're right. There's no such thing as objective morality. Everyone is fronting to some extent. And I guess you have to prioritize your dick. I don't blame you for feeling that way, but me personally, I just try to live without hurting anyone. If that costs me some pussy, so be it.

Seduction in and of itself is manipulation.
[–]great_account 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You have every right to feel that way. I'm sure there's something about the world that makes it feel that way. But I see it as means to communicate better with potential romantic partners. We're taught so many myths about the opposite gender growing up, that connecting with them sounds alien. Seduction for me is a means for me to live more honestly and connect better with the people around me. I get laid plenty, ons, fwb and relationships, but seduction is about being able to express yourself honestly to a romantic partner.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Manipulation isn’t inherently a bad thing, literally anything you do to influence the thoughts of someone else is manipulation. No matter how you cut it seduction is manipulation. Manipulation just has a bad connotation because when we use the word we’re usually referring to negative manipulation

Women have no idea what they want and 99% of what they say with regards to attraction are irrelevant. Body language is everything. The only word that matters from a woman is "no". Even the "yes" is tenuous at best.
[–][deleted] 56 points57 points58 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Both men and women need to grow the fuck up, accept responsibility that the environment is against them and make themselves much better than they are right now. So many girls that would be cute/wife material if they would drop some weight, so many guys that would be better if they would hit the gym and get some therapy. Actually therapy goes for the women too, we lost our values, women are going to OF and guys are simping, wtf is this life.

[–]Daunt02 28 points29 points30 points 4 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link
I agree with both of these.
Mine is that you have to be some sort of Alpha or dominant all the time to get with women.
My mannerisms and the way I express myself is very androgynous. I dress like a dude but who I am is very fluid in my expression. I'm not an alpha bro. My dating and sex life has been just fine for a while.
It may not excite certain type of women but a lot of women that I'm attracted to, both feminine and masculine women, respond well to the way I express myself. There's also been many times where I've blown out the Alpha tall Chad guy in group interactions because of who I am and the charisma to which I express myself.
Dudes faking Alpha hurts their game way more than helps if they are not like this naturally. Congruence and knowing yourself is the key.
[–]Snakehead004 12 points13 points14 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Well put! I am typically somewhat the alpha type and since I've cooled that nonsense down I've had MUCH more meaningful connections.. And more sex.
[–]Daunt02 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Outside of these echochambers nobody gives a fuck about unscientific alpha/Beta binary. Having the means to relate and have experiences with a large amount of people while having belief in yourself is way more important than what incels talk about online.
I realized a few weeks ago that I need to slow down my personality sometimes. I'm not intending to but I subconsciously do the dancing monkey.
[–]Alarming-Unit-7214 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
to add to this, when i am more dominant up front with a girl i'm dating (even if it's genuine), it hurts me in the long run.
They have this idea that i must always be as confident so if i'm not always dominant 100% of the time around them, they lose interest faster than they would have if i would've shown some vulnerability from the beginning
[–]Daunt02 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It's the same for a job. You never want to overextend yourself from the start because your boss will expect that output from you regularly.
Steady and smooth as you build on your baseline of congruence. Keeping it between 40-60% is a good place to be. After time and experience your 60% looks as dominant and confident as most guys 80-90%.
Savor the flavor is what one girlfriend told me.

She actually might be genuinely busy and honestly doesn’t have time for a date or other get togethers. Everyone jumps to conclusions that she’s not into you when she’s not willing to make plans because she’s’ “busy.”
I’ve slept with a handful of girls who acted super flakey and not interested in me because they were genuinely busy and didn’t have much free time due to school and work. I had to wait a little, but it was worth it.
Or she might just be not attracted
I wholeheartedly agree, especially if both parties are in their mid-20s and beyond. Women, just like men, are people too. They have their work, school, pets, household chores, car maintenance, physical health, mental health, relaxation time, bills, family, friends, hobbies, etc....you know, those things called lives.
Contrary to what a lot of these seduction-related posts say, 99.9% of women are not these monolithic beings whose only priority in life is to land with the "alpha". It would be like if a women's dating sub said that all men are these caveman neanderthals whose only goal is to sleep with every woman they see. How accurate is that latter statement? You have different priorities in your life too.
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Cold approach works best for the men who wouldn’t seek it out (ie: confident, fit, & successful men). The majority of people who come through this sub (myself included rn tbh)would be better served putting any effort they’d spend into learning daygame into first bettering their fitness, career, and social skills generally until they reach a certain baseline level (set tangible goals for them as to not be perpetually not there yet). I’ve just wasted so much time trying to grind daygame approaches to find the needle in a haystack girl who are attracted to an obese dude making $18 / hour with a very small and mercurial friend group, that if I had put that much effort into fitness and career growth, I’d be at a point where my dating life would greatly improve if I started implementing cold approach. Cold approach tricks us into thinking we can pull models through sheer volume, which while it may be true on the surface with a .001% success rate, if all you’re doing is approaching, odds are you won’t be able to keep that girl around or more likely not even be able to keep her interest for a single date.
Hit the lab before you hit the streets. Unless you are a guy with exceptional ability to be emotionally unaffected by rejection, don’t even sarge cold approach until you hit your baseline level goals. If you want to talk to girls you see as you go about your life then fine, but don’t put any emphasis or time in the schedule for approach.
[–]Euphoric-Can-3223 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It’s mostly women that hate this opinion, but DO NOT take a women on a full date the first time you go out. Get to know each other on a lite coffee or evening drinks date, and no more time than an hour. Neither person should invest a lot of money or time until things click.
[–]introsetsam 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]anoyingprophet 29 points30 points31 points 4 years ago* (9 children) | Copy Link
Game doesn’t actually exist. There’s no amount of finesse, tricks or tactics that can somehow make a girl want you. The reality is that if she’s physically attracted to you enough, all the shit you’re telling her seems more interesting. For example, you could have the exact same conversation with two different girls. The one who thinks your ugly, will think your jokes are obnoxious while the girl who is attracted to you thinks your jokes are charming. Another example, the difference between cute and corny is dependant on how much she’s attracted to you. Same thing with creepy and romantic. Once you understand this, you will stop caring as much and have more confidence. Which goes to my next point. Any guy can actually get a girl. This sub is obsessed with the idea of learning how to “get” a girl. The reality is that this is super easy. It literally just takes courage. Believe it or not but there are girls out there that think you’re attractive and all those weird qualities about your personality that you think are a turn-off are actually not a problem for many girls. You just need to take shots which I know most y’all do not do. Now what’s truly difficult is KEEPING a girl. Women are extremely fickle. They hate routine and get bored so easily. You might be with an amazing girl right now and you think the relationship is great. She might leave you one day and you’re going to be tossing and turning all night thinking about what you did or didn’t do that made her leave, when she most likely just got bored of the relationship. I personally believe that most women are unattracted to guys that prioritize them. They don’t like feeling that a guy puts her number one over everything. They like the idea that a guy has so much going on in his life and he’s doing so much amazing things, but he still wants her around sometimes. It’s all about that reassurance and validation for her. A dude working at the dollar store, who has no friends, doe nothing exciting who bends over backwards to make her happy turns her off so much. It might be cool to her at the start of the relationship, but that’s only because it contrasts her toxic ex that was the opposite. What she wants is that guy who’s doing shit with his life. Has a busy schedule, is always going places, who’s important, etc. And the fact that he might squeeze her into his life for a couple hours a day a day, makes her feel like she’s special. I believe the reason relationships are so hard to maintain these days and why girls live by the mantra “men ain’t shit” is because the men of our generation have been conditioned to prioritize women over purpose and have become obsessed with instagram, TikTok, porn, and over exposed to lust. These guys that dm them are so sleezy it’s not even funny. Women don’t even respect us anymore to be honest. I know my father and mothers relationship is still amazing because tbh, my dad is just so fricken masculine in every way. He lives life on his own terms and that’s why my mom still appreciates him after all these years. My parent met in their 20s and I know if my dad resembled how 20 yr olds guys are today back then, no way he woulda got my mom. I also know that a lot of guys when they’re single embody this type of masculinity, but lose their edge when they finally get the girl, which leads her to losing interest and leads her to leaving. So what i want y’all to all do is to stop over validating her, put your grind before everything, and I garuntee you she’s not leaving

Not bad but there are tons of guys at the gym who are big and strong and aren't getting laid. You're chalking it up to looks but it's more like social status.
[–]Altruistic_Field2134 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I mean your both right. Women (unlike dudes) take a more holistic look at dudes instead of just one thing so to some women, social status is the most important, or big muscles (looks) are the most important.
Dudes its always looks first and then everything else second.

We need a woman's opinion on this one - I don't think women care that much about cheekbones, dude. :)
Not necessarily cheekbones. But eyes, jaw line, nose, skin. Are all things that everyone value
Jacked never equals to getting laid down. I think everyone here knows that.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Agree with both.
The physical attraction thing is despised in this sub which is rly delusional.
If she isn’t attracted no matter what you do will change that.
If she attracted you don’t even need to “game” her. You can just talk to her normally.
If she isn’t attracted from the jump, you are rejected before you open your mouth.
Not saying you can’t be friends with her, but since there is no attraction there is no chance of sexual tension.
[–]NostalgiaUltr 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Slight caveat, they can be friends if there is an ulterior motive to the friendship (one party hoping it leads to more than friends, one party looking for attention/validation, one party wanting to fuck the other party's friends)
[–]ThatGuy_Nick9 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Men really need to get better at taking no for an answer.
Men are very toxic with how much sex they expect from people they’ve never met before.
Women are a fantastic resource to learn seduction from, you just have to listen a bit.
You’re not getting rejected because your “ugly and women are all shallow” you’re just a cry baby who blames their problems on other people. Ugly fuckers get married to models every day. Stop making lame excuses
Going to the gym and buying new clothes isn’t going to turn your life around. Self care is good but, again, women would rather date a guy who is a MAN than a loser with a rolex, a $500 shirt from Men’s Warehouse, and a giant torso with tiny little legs.
If you’re spending more time reading books than you are socializing and practicing, you’re wasting your time. Really if you’re reading book about how to talk to girls you’re wasting your time. You’re a sap, a chump, bamboozled, wasting your time.

True but I think even more guys use grinding in the gym as an excuse to not approach women.
I was one of those guys. I'm 5'7 140 pounds basically no body fat, all muscle. I always thought I needed to gain even more muscle and get ripped since I'm pretty skinny and was self conscious.
Then I read something in this sub about not using that as an excuse. I am a pretty confident person about everything but my size, but I faked confidence, and now I'm dating a popular model. She even tells me that I'm her perfect build and stuff
[–]MrDownhillRacer 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That it's really possible to be totally "outcome independent" and improve at the same time, because learning or improving at anything requires you to look at your mistakes and try to correct them. You can't adjust and try to improve your outcomes if you literally don't care about outcomes.
It makes sense to get people to not feel like their whole self-worth depends on if they get rejected or not, and to get people to understand that looking like you don't care what others think makes you more successful than when others can tell you're seeking their approval.
But that's different from literally being "outcome independent."
[–]bigfriendlygiant98 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
1st: yes and no. a lot of game is about body language and how you carry/present yourself. this has a huge say in physical attraction. its the same for guys. girls who are more confident and have a stronger presence tend to usually catch our eye more than the girl with a pretty face and nice body who doesn't feel confident and tries not to stand out. but bring physically attractive doesn't guarantee a thing, so you still need game to get results
2: agreed
[–]Crisia_1234 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I actually belive that introverts are better at game/seduction but because they are introvertet, chances that they get to that point are way worse compared to an extrovert. Therefore extroverts are more sucessful with women.
[–]NuclearThane 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Naturally an extrovert will put themselves out there and get more chances, nobody would disagree with that. But can you expand on why you believe that they're better at game/seduction?
Like any skill, game gets better with practice. If an introvert never practices, or practices less, why do you hold the belief that they're inherently better at it?
[–]CocoBabeNYC -5 points-4 points-3 points 4 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
"Game" is useless. If you need game, you are a loser or deficient in some way. Normal guys who get laid don't need game, they just need to show up.
[–][deleted] 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
A "normal" guy also uses "game", just intuitively instead of conscious. Learning "game" is just for people, who lost contact to their manly/sexual/seductive side for different reasons - upbringing, modern culture etc
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Exactly. “Game” is mostly just mimicking what guys who are naturally good at dating do.
99% of game is just learning to have the guts to approach girls, act confident, read when a girl is attracted to you, escalate accordingly, and don’t say anything stupid that will make the girl lose attraction to you. Literally every guy who is successful at dating does that, whether or not they have to think about it.
[–]Sufficient-Yoghurt46 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
And by 'having guts' you mean beer right?
[–]Altruistic_Field2134 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
To a point but I find most dudes who do drink more get sloppy and that becomes another hinderance in their seduction.
[–]Sufficient-Yoghurt46 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good point - after all, if the girl is judging a man's guts, him sounding drunk doesn't help much. However, being calm and collected, sipping on diet Pepsi and chatting can be very attractive. She'll ask you where you're friends are to see that you have a few, but otherwise, you pass the sniff test.
Apply the fitness concept of progressive overload. Learn to approach girls while 10 beers deep, then move to 9, then 8… and after a few years you’ll be approaching girls sober.
[–]CocoBabeNYC -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The problem is that when you say you need "game", you are signaling to your subconsciousness that you are not enough. Hence you are trying to solve a problem you believe you have and by doing so you actually manifest the problem into existence because a woman can sense that you need "game" and are therefore not the real deal.
[–]vardarac 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Game is just another name for the social skills you use with people who you actually want to have sex with. It's a separate proposition entirely from just showing up and being a nice, normal person.

Aaaiiight lets hit the reality and count how many dummies we got here
Everything thats harsh truth, logical, real & not relevant to hollywood movies will be downvoted by TikTok weak gen and modern society/feminism victims..
Example: be masculine and dont tolerate her bs. Earn her respect and you’ll earn her. She’s useless to you unless she’s giving u what u want.
Ps: about ur points. #1 nah, many times women brought up my body shape (underweight af) be4 moaning in the bed. #2 kiss is nothing at all. Go for sex, escalade things forward smoothly. If u didnt even get kiss in 30min of meeting her, be ready to move on. And if no sex on 2nd date, delete her digits and text another one

You confuse a shit-test with disinterest. If she isn't interested, she wouldn't even want to give you her time of the day. When she mentions (not outright attacks you) you are underweight she probably thinks you could be ok,but this particular feature is a sign of weakness (biologically speaking) so in order to see whether you are sure of yourself abd confident enough (which achieves a lot in modern society) she mentions it to see how will you react.

R u talking about rejection when u approach?
Cuz OP was talking not about that. Re read
[–]SocialReject101 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Women will shit test you during lifetime not when you just approach her. You were obviously talking about a date situation because that is what OP was referring to and you opposed him by giving him an example of "disinteterested" females that were making statements about your bodyweight or lack thereof that you banged therefore reversing the state of disinterest. I wanted to humbly correct you that it is not disinterest but a shittest and she has some interest in you. Everytime you say or do something wrong (in her own mind) or you start losing frame, something will click and she will start shit-testing. I have been told that I have thin wrists , asked why am I bald and other stuff. It sounds offensive but if you get the idea why she is doing it and you know how to respond or genuinely don't care you are golden.

Re read and try to answer to the question I asked
(I know about dating scene, no need to teach me how it all works)
[–]SocialReject101 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I didn't really get why would you ask that because I wasn't referring to it in my first comment. And if you read my second comment you would understand that I didn't talk about rejection when approaching.
[–]UrFavPlayerIsBack 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yeah ma man i get that it all was shit test n stuff
But OP was referring to “after getting her number and meetup” scene. So we’re talking about that
Ps: and yeah, i can agree that if the date is dead upfront then kick her out n walk away. But first make sure its not about ur negative perception of things..
[–]SocialReject101 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
And I was referring to that. All that I implied was that your situation of her "commenting on bodyweight" wasn't the best example.
Now that you clarify about negative perception I get where you were going with your comment. All good.
[–]UrFavPlayerIsBack 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
We both talking about same shit. Yep, shit tests are IMPORTANT to get. Thats a way to build attraction/ show dominance by passing them.
So in short: if she talks shit about anything, thats not a disinterest indicator. And if a chick never tests you, thats REALLY is a sign of disinterest
End of story

As a introverted guy i think women should take the first step if they feel attraction.

Back hand compliments work better than just compliments!

Getting better at game is an essential part of a mans development in discovering who they are. If you don’t get rejected a shit ton of times then when a simple rejection in the future (maybe at work or in some other field unrelated to seduction) you will feel distraught
Qualifying for a job is much different than qualifying for dates/hookups.
Dates and hookups relies on looks a lot more than other fields

You just suck under pressure
Sounds like an anecdote rather than an opinion. Never felt pressure with a girl, only nervousness.
Then I remember that she’s nervous too and I brush it off with a joke that can break the ice
So this is definitely going to be downvoted a lot:
You can go to the gym so much and make your body bigger but it helps if you have somewhat of a good genetic makeup in the first place. If you are really don't have much going for you, you really won't get success with high quality women. If your face is around 4 or 5 out of 10, you won't get anywhere in dating successfully even if you go to the gym and work harder for your body. Even if you have a successful job somewhere and make money, if your genetics and looks start to fail as you get older, it's going to be a more worse relationship. Your woman will not really like you much. She won't like you much. Status doesn't help much if you are ugly. Your woman will probably just want to take your money and is probably a gold digger. You can be a doctor making millions but it doesn't mean she loves you. She wants your cash. Also, not everyone can really be successful in dating obviously.

Women love sex and we must pursue a sexual relationship on the get go, if you already went platonic then forget her, doesn't matter how special she is just move on!
[–]DeJuanBallard 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pretend to be in a committed relationship, girls love feeling like their doing something taboo, and that you want her so much you will risk your whole relationship over her.

The "ick" is basically post nut clarity for women, but without the nut. It's a bit of a far fetched theory of mine, I'll admit.
I'm a woman, but listening to Rogan and Andrew Schulz talk about post nut clarity put things in a perspective I hadn't really considered before.
I'm interested in a guy, start talking, go on a date, etc. Then there's something that triggers an instinct that completely flips me 180°.
It could be the way they smell, and not BO, their smell, or the way they said something, not something horrific or a "red flag", but it's in their tone or phrasing that puts me off. I went bowling with a guy, and the way he bowled melted away all the attraction that I had for him. It's something that's intangible, a gut instinct that just makes my subconscious and body say nope, not this guy. It's not as if it was obvious that we wouldn't have hit it off.
This doesn't happen often mind you, but it's an odd occurrence. And now that I've rambled enough, there might not be any correlation to post nut clarity. Idk guys, what do you think?
[–]Livinlikelary11 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think that's it.
In the clip, Shulz makes the point that, it's not that men always use women for sex, you guys actually think you like someone, until that post nut clarity.
I think it's a similar with women. I don't know what catalyst is for clarity with women is, maybe it's being in a romantic setting, meeting someone irl vs talking online, who knows. But I think can come across as women just using men, whether for a confidence boost, free date, etc.
And this isn't to imply that people don't use others romantically to get what they want, be it sex, free dates, a confidence boost, whatever. I just see the parallels on both sides, and think there might be a deeper explanation to it.
Both men and women in the modern dating landscape need to be better at compartmentalizing sex and emotion.
It's something women are generally accused of for being "more emotional" in general, but most of my male friends are terrible at this too.
They all talk about wanting a FWB, and once they've had one they fuck two or three times, they catch feelings and have an SO instead.
And it's bullshit when people say this is just their natural inclination -- "that's just me, I can't enjoy sex without the emotional side". You're not special, and that's not true.
