FUCK!!...I don't say it out loud, that's how I feel inside
-Dave Chappelle
Yea, I know you guys probably don't wanna hear it but I need to lay it out like I see it. This subreddit has become (majority of posts anyway) all pep-talk with little to no game plan. This is the "norm" it seems in the pick-up community. Why!?
Guys, this current paradigm really needs to shift. Let me explain.
When a coach of a football team sits down with his boys to give 'em "the talk" before the big game, he does so in order to heighten the inner-game of the players necessary to win. The talk heightens their spirits, and if done right...put's them in the zone to outmatch the competition. It could be argued that without building a strong inner-game, a player can never truly become a great one, only an amateur at best...and I would agree fully agree with this notion.
Have you forgotten all the meticulous training exercises, the practice runs, the tactical plays, positioning, counter-plays, and overall game plan that is essential to every great player's (of any sport or game) success???
These "pep-talks" of inner-game only work for people who know what they are doing but for some reason have psyched themselves out of it for the given situation. Who the fuck do you think browses this subreddit? Newbies, amateurs, and would-be masters who seek content; content that is simultaneously useful and inspiring to get them to step their game up to the next level.
The current paradigm here: "Blah blah blah natural this, natural that. Blah blah she'll see right through your phony routines. Blah blah it doesn't matter what you say, it's how you project yourself."
Well good for fucking you Mr. affirmative natural. Here's your karma for sounding profound. But you know what, you just made me "the-not-so-successful-with-women guy" feel inferior in the fact that you can talk to yourself and beast it up, while I fail like a loser when going in with such self-talk because I've got nothing to go on once in set.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory, tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat

Example of seddit's popular inner-game centered post:
"It is up to you to decide that you are the man. Are you somehow an inferior man if a woman rejects you? No. You are still the man, and only you can make that reality for yourself. Only once you believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have exactly what it takes and that you truly deserve the hottest girl in the room, can you actually get her. It doesn't matter too much what you say to her...do the approach with the knowledge that no matter what happens, you are still the man. Be completely outcome independent, present to the moment, and don't take yourself too seriously. Women will pick up on it and you will in turn, pick-up the women."
Example of less popular outer-game centered post:
"Hey guys I've just used this really awesome set of techniques. When you see the HB you want at a club, stick your tongue out at her. If she smiles, go in and talk to her. Follow up with a 'Hey I'm Anon, who are you?' Move in with a cold-read, 'you look like a person who is willing to work really hard to get where you want to be, I bet that hasn't been all that easy for you has it?' Go off that tangent until it begins to die. Then move in with the passions and interests. Pry for hers first, then when she asks you...make an absurd, yet plausible passion and be serious about it 'I'm very much want to be hot-dog eating champion, I train every week...blah blah blah'. Let her buy into it a little before busting her balls. This is a great way to tease her. Then move on to your real passions (be ready to deliver clearly, concisely, and passionately) if the situation calls for it."
Now let me ask you, which post is more helpful?
The outer-game one obviously. Because it has material, it has actual useful information that can be tested. Inner-game "wisdom" has the edge because in the end it is a far more attractive image than the one of some guy using lines and routines to run his game.
Let me say though, I have had outer-game save my ass when my inner-game was failing. Once when I was taking a girl home to my place (I had lived with my mom when this pick-up happened), and she was adamantly refusing to go back with a guy who lived with his mom. I was very anxious and feeling like I could lose her. She wanted to get a hotel...I didn't have to money for it. She then told me to take her home because she was not cool with staying at someone's mom's house.
So I had used what I had learned from Influence by Robert Cialdini. I worked my way up using the "foot-in-the-door". I told her, "Hey, we are just gonna stop by my house as I needed to get something and then we could go to a hotel" She said okay. Got to my place. "Hey, we're already here you should just come in." She was NOT having it.
"I am not comfortable with this at all. Take me home now! I am not sleeping at your mom's house. I've done this before and it's always fucking awkward and the parents always fucking come in or wake up or something! NO, take me home, this is not cool!"
I thought I was pretty fucked, but I had remember what Adam Lyons had said about a similar LMR story he had with a Latvian (or Estonian) girl in Las Vegas. She was refusing to go into his place even though he had solid plausible deniability. And he said if you ever had trouble to look at her sincerely, and calmly yet affirmatively say, "Trust me, it will be fine" and repeat however much necessary.
Thank you Adam, because I did just that. I played my cool outside, dropped this line. Did some explaining and reassurance that she would not meet my mom at all and I'd have her home by morning. Met with some but less resistance and request to go home again. Said that's fine if that's what she really wanted, but [insert more explaining and reassurance] finalized by "Listen, trust me everything will be fine."
And ending with the victory of, "I hate you" said in a resentfully playful manner while she exited the vehicle and walked with me to the front door. We both tip-toed to my room, got in bed, and got down to business. This was a class-A example of how without outer-game I would have been fucked (and not in the way I was hoping for).
So please Seddit, let us pay more attention to it and perhaps mix the best of both worlds in the same post.
TL;DR: Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out. When they move their lips just a buncha inner-game gibberish. And mothafuckas act like they forgot about outer-game.
EDIT: Some folks have pointed out to the sidebar or noted the plethora of old mPUA routines that already exist. I am seeking new content as so many others are. I don't like telling a girl she looks fashionable to open, the Jealous-girlfriend routine runs like a disaster for me. I like to gauge intrigue right off the bat and "Hi, I'm Anon I'm being myself" runs a little flat for me. I am looking for content I can really connect with that has chemistry with my own style of seduction. So that is why I ask: Where are the latest developments in field tested material. I'm looking for the new shit guys, and reddit has the best layout to deliver new material.
EDIT2: Really glad to see strong support for this guys! I'm feeling very inspired to test some new/lost styles of seduction (congruent to my reality, not popular demand) that I have been developing. Will do field reports and I hope you guys promote the same. Hope there is a shift in demand for details regarding both inner and outer game that are both unique, specific, and testable in the field. Oh and as the name suggest, I am very very sick of white knight parades on this subreddit. The FRs I seek can and will be taboo if I can help it. But most importantly, I will pay attention to the "why and how" mechanics of seduction. Hope to see more of the same. Thanks guys!
