Psychologist Steven Pinker talks about innuendos and veiled language. A video not specifically about game but helped me understand game on a deeper level.

The part where he talks about "coming upstairs to look at my etchings" was confusing to me until I realized it was the old people version of "Netflix and chill."

I agree with the video, but in addition to plausible deniability, social conditioning also plays a role.

"However, after attraction is established, you may still initially need to provide a woman with a logical justification that allows her to act on it. Societal double standards have conditioned women to feel extremely shameful about ever appearing like a slut. This is why you must be discreet with a woman while in public. A woman may want to give you her phone number, but refuse to do so if her friends are watching. She may not want her friends to judge her for giving a random man her number after only fifteen minutes of conversation. This same principle of discretion also applies to public kissing and other physical contact.

While external judgment is often a factor with which you must contend, so is internal judgment. Unless the woman is highly self-assured, she may also want to protect the self-image that she has of herself. When her logical mind finally catches up with her emotions, a woman is faced with making the conscious choice to be with a man. After a woman mentally acknowledges what she is feeling, a fear of judgment may prevent her from acting on it. Having a token excuse such as inviting you up for “coffee” or over to watch “Netflix and chill,” lets a woman absolve herself from the shame that society places on women who deliberately initiate intimacy. Instead of having to contend with the fact that she directly asked you to spend the night, she can rationalize the experience along the lines of the more socially accepted narrative that things just naturally and spontaneously took their course.

While you should never lie, you should be aware that some women will want you to provide them with an excuse with which they can use to justify their actions. Since the only purpose of this excuse is to appease a woman’s rational mind, what the actual excuse is often does not matter. Thus it could potentially be as outlandish as inviting her to come over to play Mario Kart at 2 AM."

Woah, that was very eye opening. Thank you.

An aspect of this that's very important is the idea that there's a reason why we have indirect means of communication. Reasons that benefit everyone.

Which is important because a lot of guys get caught up in wishing everyone would just be direct all the time.

Nice share, I've always known about this but never knew how to conceptualize it.

The squeaking marker sounds at the beginning are brutal
