You talk to everyone and have a good time, then everyone likes being around your good time. Then a girl decides she wants to be "around your good time".

This doesn't work really. I know plenty of people that have a good time, and they go home and wack off. Still need initiative and game.

Cuz they'd rather chill with Palmela than take a chance..
[–]ImJustSo 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link
Well, my experience suggests otherwise, but you do you! I'm cool with that.

Seriously your post and this second comment of yours pisses me off. It's a complete oversimplification of game even if it just your experience, and I don't understand all the upvotes. Hell there's guys out there who get with girls and give advice like "be confident that's all you need" but that oversimplification is not helpful just like your advice of "talk to everyone and have a good time". There's so much crap about "have a good time and girls will flock to your dick," but I know so many guys that actually enjoy their nights out and go home alone most of the time. If guys take your advice it won't work for the vast majority. Have a good time AND talk to girls while having a good time AND make a move in a physical way AND work around obstacles. If you don't do the other important stuff you'll just have a good time and won't get with any girls. I'm pissed coz you're leading many guys with false hopes whether intentionally or not.

You need to chill out, you need to realize that I don't give out the same advice on every post, and you need to think about your audience when you write anything.
I am not one dimensional, and neither are you, so please quit insulting me by suggesting such a thing. I will continue saying what needs to be said as I see it. You are welcome to say what you believe needs to be said as well. You can even add to what I've said, if you feel I've left out important information.
If I'm here to help and you're here to help, then you need to focus on that and not focus on disagreeing with me, when you know damn well that what I've said is integral, if incomplete.
I have purposefully left it incomplete because the meat of his post doesn't compare to other posts on the sub. So please, chill out.

Well I think you did lack important information in your above comment, so I think in that way you were one dimensional at that point in time.
I'm here to help, AND if something is unhelpful I'll disagree and point it out as bad or incomplete information can be damaging.
A guy could see your comment with all the upvotes and think to himself "All I have to do is have a good time and talk to girls to get with girls, maybe it's really that simple!" He goes out, has fun, talks to girls, realises although he's having fun he's also not getting laid or any action at all and see other guys getting with girls, he may go home, beat himself up and think of himself as missing something fundamental and either blame this sub or think of himself as flawed. That's why this kind of unhelpful advice needs to be pointed out to prevent disasters like that happening.

Well now you're just admitting you're one dimensional ... I think when you saw my post you got defensive and tried to act assertive but said a bunch of contradictory bullshit.

This kind of shit right here is what's holding you back in life, not over simplification. Sheesh.

I've already explained why, I won't repeat myself.
You're being hyperbolic, outlandish, and antagonistic. What I'm realizing now is you just do not like what I stand for, and that's a successful man that succeeds in a way you can't understand apparently.
Sounds like your personal problem to me. Sorry your life sucks and you're projecting it onto everyone else's.
I haven't admitted anything. You are putting words into my mouth, you're detracting from the words I've actually said, and you're making assumption after assumption. And that's what I'm going to do for you now, because fair is fair. What I see is a man who cannot accept another man's success without comparing it to his own failures. I see a competitive man that sees threats where there are none. And I see a man who's unwilling to work with others towards a common goal. You are attacking me instead of giving advice to others. You're working to disprove me and bring me down. You're a negative person and you're ill behaved. I told you to chill and you've blown everything out of proportion.
I now understand how you can't grasp that my advice was good advice, because my advice would never work for you. You would rather fight with other men at a party than have a good time. You work to lower others, rather than raise them up.

You're being hyperbolic, outlandish, and antagonistic.
I disagree with hyperbolic. I think to you I come across outlandish. And I agree I am antagonistic.
What I'm realizing now is you just do not like what I stand for, and that's a successful man that succeeds in a way you can't understand apparently.
Yes. You are right. I don't like you and I am envious of you and other guys who get success without putting in some kind of conscious initiative. AND I also think you and other guys who aren't able to articulate your full game can be damaging to guys too. The first point about my envy doesn't negate my empathy for guys who might get damaged by your advice. Both things are true.
Getting laid by just having fun and talking to girls is a problem for me. And getting laid regularly without paying for it is also a small problem for me. And I am sure other guys also have this problem as that's why we have a subreddit called /r/seduction and a whole pickup community, for guys who struggle beyond the typical "have fun, talk to girls, be confident" advice and want more choice in their life.
I haven't admitted anything. You are putting words into my mouth, you're detracting from the words I've actually said, and you're making assumption after assumption.
No shit. Except you did say two contradictory things which I quoted above. And also you're still defensive.
And that's what I'm going to do for you now, because fair is fair. What I see is a man who cannot accept another man's success without comparing it to his own failures.
Firstly ... you're wrong. I accept you are successful with women doing what you do (assuming you're honest) and if you're better than me in this domain I don't really care that much.
I believe you do get laid, and I believe you get laid not by just the advice you're giving but by important stuff you intentionally or unintentionally left out regarding actually taking initiative with women and showing desire and making a move. That's what pisses me off, not your success. So get off your high horse and realise I'm not writing all this out of jealousy, I'm writing this out of empathy and compassion for any guy who has taken ambiguous advice to heart and beat themselves up for it not working. That's my personal problem AND it's also a problem of many other guys.
I see a competitive man that sees threats where there are none.
Good one. I am competitive. And I do threats sometimes where there are none. Although in this case I don't see you as a threat I just enjoy conflict.
And I see a man who's unwilling to work with others towards a common goal.
I think you're wrong about this. I am willing to cooperate. I gave my advice above loaded with some anger too, and you got defensive and took what I said as an attack which triggered me to defend myself too. But the advice was there perhaps you didn't catch it coz you were too busy with the tone of my message.
You are attacking me instead of giving advice to others.
I did give some basic advice which covered the main areas but didn't go into specifics. And the truth is since I don't have great results I will refrain from giving detailed advice until I have thought something through that will probably work for majority of guys.
You're working to disprove me and bring me down.
Not really working to disprove you. I wrote a message before which came from the heart and didn't take much work. I'm more working to answer your assumptions now.
You're a negative person and you're ill behaved.
Very true.
I told you to chill and you've blown everything out of proportion.
Yes and you've participated in the blowing up. Takes two to tango.

What did you learn about yourself through reading it?

Man, you have problems. Hope you fix them. Good luck being a better person someday.

What are you talking about man? I am the epitome of perfection. I have no problems! I am the god, the king, the alpha and omega. There are no problems here just a gleaming light of inspiration.

This is a great comment

Hit it off with a girl early in the party, be around when the new year is rung in and hope she’s down to be your New Years kiss!
[–]ZincMan 5 points6 points7 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
NYE is the worst time to meet a girl imo, compared to Halloween which is the BEST holiday to meet a girl. Pressure is to high on nye and girls know it
[–]johnbranflake 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’ve always had more luck on NYE than Halloween. Maybe my costume game is weak
[–]DonutBoy11 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
NYE is amateur hour. Never go out on NYE. Total noob move.
[–]herculesuprising 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Please elaborate.
[–]DonutBoy11 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Where do I start? All the goobers that don't go out the entire year get it in their heads to go out on NYE. So right off, you're dealing with hordes of nightlife amateurs. Furthermore, everything is 5X the usual price, everything is 5X as crowded as usual, everyone is 5X more drunk/rowdy/emotional/shitheaded than usual, see my first point above.
NYE is amateur hour. I've been a club rat for years and bartended for years, trust me. NYE is fucking amateur hour. If anything, hit a house party. Never in a million years go to club/lounge/bar for NYE. Trust me.
[–]JefemanG 4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
But the real question I have for you...
Is NYE amateur hour?
[–]herculesuprising 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good read, thanks.
Good suggestion to go for house / techno / real partying rather than a club. Those are not really gaming areas though (please prove me wrong if so). My best take on new years eve is to go to a big party a friend of a friend is throwing, and get that social circle expanded. Have fun, and if you happen to get game going, good! But don't count on it.
