It''s quite subjective because an 8 to somebody else might be your 10 if you are a seven. A lot of it is in the mind.

Yeah, don't know who came up with that but it's bullshit. People are attracted to who they're attracted to. It can be people more or less conventionally attractive than they are with practically no rhyme or reason. I've been with everything from a 10 to a 4, and it had nothing to do with where we were on some arbitrary scale relative to each other. Like Serendipity said, it's subjective. Most people don't even have a realistic conception of what number they are anyway.

This frustration is normal. It happens to everyone and it's a good thing. If you aren't getting frustrated sometimes you almost certainly aren't progressing. That kind of frustration is what gives you the mental nudge that actually moves things along and makes you better.


Y'all think it's bougie, I'm like, it's fine

Instead of looking at it 1-10, try looking 1 or 0. 0 = You don't like her. 1= you do like her. I've been trying this lately and I'm struggling with it, but I think its a better idea.

There's a part in The Upside of Irrationality by Dan Ariely where he talks about people unconsciously protecting themselves from disappointment by not valuing looks if their unattractive. Telling themselves they are more concerned with character traits or they like faces with personality etc. and vice versa if you are attractive. He gives an example of the story of the fox and the grapes. A thirsty fox tries to reach some grapes cant reach them decides he didn’t want them anyway, they were probably sour. I only scanned the book so that could be all wrong. I would agree though men and women tend to end up with people of similar looks levels, at least that's the way it seems in the couples you see but there are always exceptions. Thinking like that all the time though would leave you feeling pretty negative, though it might be accurate.


Small positive changes add up.

Your wing is talking shit. Women are always looking to 'marry up' or at least achieve the most desirable male they possibly can considering their own sexual market value. This is why if you want a hot girlfriend you need to be the best possible guy you can. Go to the gym, be successful in your job and work on yourself as much as possible etc etc. The key isnt to bed a 10 its to be a 10.

Google Hypergamy. Its very real. There's a ton of good articles on it too.

I bet hypergamy has been at play in most of the cases where a guy has come on somewhere like here because he got burned by an ex.

So basically all that guy did was describe Cognitive Dissonance. Not sure how applicable it is to game apart from it possibly explaining peoples coping mechanisms for rejection.

I've noticed with some couples that not only do they look the same attractiveness level, they actually share similar features and look like they could be related. It's as if one of them or both had subconsciously selected someone because they looked like them.

Maybe there's a physiological reason for that which is linked to the attractiveness match thing which seems common. Another factor is people being insecure that they couldn't hold onto someone who they perceive as having more value than themself.

True and I am not presenting his points very well. Had never heard of Hypergamy before interesting stuff.

I know one guy who married a real howler. He told me he thought good looking girls were 'evil'. I think he got burned by one once.

Default Nightgame Naughties - 08-03-2014, 09:23 AM

7th March 2014
Morning ladies and gentleman. I haven't done one of these in a while. As a couple of you've seen Sugarspin posted up a let's go oooot post, I'm a bit disappointed not more of you showed up but it's cool, i'll forgive you this time.

So we started out at Jerusalem above Oxford Street, Sugarspin and I chatted to few birds, Sugarspin is alot more energetic than me. Maybe thats just night game, who knows. None of them materialise as it's pretty much one big group for a leaving do. We chat shit, drink beers and being the student I am, I think better start saving the moolah and drink the Earth's beverage. We head off to le classique el Porterhouse and Sugarspin opens some sets I come in to wing in one of them.

Stein comes up to meet us, we chat more shit, then Stein and I head off to O'Neills. By this point I've been in my head far too long and I'm being a pussy, but still somewhat trying. Talk to a few people, a bird that Stein frequently sees shows up with a friend, more chatting. Later Stein says to me "Drink", I'm far too in my head so I agree and buy two drinks. From then on it's easier, we do a few more sets and Stein's set shows up again. We're chatting away having a laugh and I can tell the friend somewhat likes me, I go off to the loo and get a little texty message from Stein saying "she likes you". So I go up have a chat a bit longer, we go out chat more shit then I do my typical grab and pull method, then chat more shit make out a little bit more. Stein goes off home with his and whispers in my ear you can pull this.

We stick around chatting for a bit more, then take her to the bus stop. Yes bitches I'm classy...but no I have no money on my Oyster faack. So we walk up to the ATM I draw out a big phat £20 note and take her home by Taxi. we fork a bit and she's like "I'm too tired and drink", as per I'm cool, I can't seem to cum with birds on one night stands, probably the alcohol.

Note to self:
Put more money on Oyster, bitches love Oyster.
Alcohol induced pickup is a worthy investment.
Every interaction is full of awkward silences, embrace the shit out of them (they are your friends, bitches talk in them).
You can talk about your mother's vagina with girls, they love it.

May the God of game be with you.


I just puts my dick in the hole, whoever sucks is not my concern. - MarkUK
