also, here is a free tip for dudes - when in the presence of ur gf, always go out of ur way to praise the looks of girls who resemble her. and pretend to be repulsed by girls who are a different type from her. REVERZE SYCOHOLYGY!!!!

the Neil Strauss school of date rape has a special term for the act of making negative comments to hot chicks. thankfully I don't remember what it was (my anthropological curiousity with that particular internet subculture was happily short-lived)

i'm pretty sure the term is "a neg"

i find that game shit totes repulsive but on a couple different occasions guys who were kinda of dorky and laking in self-confidence told me it really helped them out just to realize that they could have some sort of game at all and i was kinda awww ok fine
― jhøshea, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:14 (sixteen years ago) link
i dunno, there's the other side which is exemplified by my otherwise cool friend. it was at a point where he had to "run game" on any semi-attractive girl around. it usually involved "showing them something" by "touching their hands".
― omar little, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:16 (sixteen years ago) link

― jhøshea, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:18 (sixteen years ago) link
haha my friend actually played that "says one thing, means another" shit w/r/t "the game" because he commented on how this one guy we both knew was always trying to pick up girls and how lame it was, then suddenly he's trying to seduce girls by showing them how he uses his hands in martial arts and how he's learned some massage techniques and "here let me show you this one thing" (takes girl's hand)

although I will say that until I did actually hang out with a dude who was all over the bar doing it I was with you, chaki, it just seems too stupid and ridiculous.
fwiw the dude in question 1. did not pay for the book, points for that at least 2. had 0% success on actually getting any of the girls to call him back
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i think thats the point, deej - i imagine easily the most important thing 'the game' does is give guys the confidence that they can be attractive to girls, & that failing at picking them up is natural & ok, & (and i didnt get this till that post by omar) that pulling is a 'sim' somewhat disconnected from reality.
― deeznuts, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link
failing at picking them up is natural
dudes who can't grasp the concept of rejection by women really shouldn't be breeding. this game shit goes against natural selection.

Also so much American(western?) conspiracism is entirely based on reactionaries being denied their treats.
All other aspects of life being stripped away except for consumerism, and deny them the thing they want right when they want it, and it must be some malefactor plotting against them.

I dont think I ever confirmed the original TB question in this thread. I guess 16 years later is as good a time as any: Omar was correct.
i think it's a way to get away with looking at the girl and acknowledging her in front of your gf, but doing it in a manner that would suggest "man i would never go for her". like when you say, "man look at her hat, how lame" you're thinking "but damn, the rest of her!!~"
