There are attempts by people to strategize friendships. Actual books like How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Haven’t read it myself but had it recommended to me.

There is a free website called succeedsocially.com

The problem with Mystery and that definition of 'game' is that it's misguided. It's not about surface content, it's about delivery - your personality and character is how you present what you're saying.

In that sense, it's the same thing; you're still trying to convey the exact same positive personality traits and engage in banter. It's purposefully unstructured (content wise) so you learn 'core communication skills' that you can apply across whatever interpersonal context - make friends, meet women, sell a product, run an event, negotiate, etc.

Women biologically respond differently to a 'high status', confident, charismatic, engaging guy than a (straight) man would - that's the leverage behind sexuality. Embodying those traits amongst men still earns respect, it's still valued, it's still 'cool', it's still desirable and enticing in a platonic way, especially when women corroborate it with sexual attraction and social proof.

Same, just without flirting and trying to fuck them. Go out, chat with people, find common ground, make a plan to hang out.
