Good to see you back, man.

So the most effective way to go about it would be to just be yourself from the beginning. It seems cliche', but it's common sense. People can't just will themselves to change into something they think a person wants and hope to maintain it. Nor would it be very enjoyable if they could.

On the other hand, if you're just looking for a piece of ass, it's a completely different story.

You practically wrote my post for me. Be yourself, if you have to pull on a little charm just don't be fake, and above all treat members of the opposite sex like people. Unless you're trying to woo a goat, then you should treat it like a goat.

You can get any girl under the Sun, as long as you just be yourself.

I get The Game, even the insults. If you put every woman on a pedestal instead of treating them like a normal person, that will make you look weird and weak. Insulting someone can be a higher level of social interaction, an advanced way of sharing a joke. It shows that you've got social guts and you're not a pushover and a lot of girls/women will get turned off if someone's too obviously into them. The thing about that is women are selective when it comes to men and will try to get the best quality man they can. That's generally someone who's strong and independent, not someone who's clingy and scared of insulting others.

However, even though I've no doubt many of the techniques work, I still think of it as kinda pathetic. If you rely on pick up game theory in order to get with women, why is that? I realize a lot of nice people struggle with social relations, but I find the game theory a bit misogynic (if that's the word), teaching men to treat women like objects and exploit psychological weaknesses in order to get them to bed. Generally speaking, that's not something nice people do .. even though my best mate admittedly has been using these tricks for quite some time now.

an ex-girlfriend and me went through reading "The Game" for kicks

at the end, both of us were laughing heartily - it sounds great in theory, but if you try any of it, you're gonna look like a robot looking for sex

Now all I can picture is Robot Oligarchs Chortling in their mansions in front of a fire as they sip their gin.
