It's always worked for me. Being as direct and straightforward as you can get away with is your role as the man in the flirting game. When I used to go out and party a lot, I never thought of what I was doing as 'pickup' and I think that worked to my advantage. I wasn't thinking 'how do I manipulate this girl into sleeping with me' I was thinking more along the lines of 'how do I have fun and how can I make this girl's night more fun' which always seemed to work a lot better than my friends who were trying gamey shit like this.

Referring to women as a target just makes you sound like a serial killer. And the second quote just sounds extremely manipulative. Pickup is a good thing, but don't let it brainwash you into totally dehumanising women. Yes, if you turn into a sociopath who superficially manipulates women you might get more sex, but this comes at a massive cost to your integrity and you'll probably struggle to maintain any kind of healthy long term relationship with a mindset like that. Manipulation like this is kind of an unhealthy feminine trait. Focus on developing the basic healthy masculine traits like confidence, leadership, strength, wit etc. and you'll get more sex without sacrificing integrity.

This is kind of like looking for a book on how to get good at Basketball. Like, you can learn theory all day long but realistically the best way to learn is through practice. It's pretty hard to get good at sex through having lots of different partners, mostly you'll learn to get good at it when you are with someone longer term and you can try out lots of different things.

Well of course not, but the world is full of people using others like this. For example women stringing along men for their money. You gotta learn to avoid this kind of shit for yourself, but it's going to happen regardless.

Because a lot of men are extremely horny and not very picky because of that. Many will have sex with women who they aren't attracted to, they just want to have sex.

It's not that women want bad boys, they just want interesting, unique and valuable men. Men who make them feel intense emotions. If all you have to offer is that you are 'nice' then that's kind of boring.

Are you going out to nightclubs/bars or otherwise social places? or are you planning on approaching women on high streets?

What Honey is doing is probably not categorically illegal. They only update the affiliate cookie when you click on their browser extension which pops up at checkout, so in theory they could probably argue that they got the 'last click' from the user and thus are owed the affiliate money. The issue is that almost everyone can see that this is extremely unfair. Especially when Honey can't even find you a coupon and their extension pops up with a little 'dismiss' button that if you click, will still replace the affiliate cookie with honey, despite them doing nothing for you. However, it likely isn't illegal because you did click on their service.

I live in the UK lmao. Unnecessarily crude language aside, idk where you're getting this idea from anyway. It's no different from any other Western country in terms of average body counts. In fact I think the UK is on the low side compared to a lot of other Western countries. I also backpacked SE Asia for the last year where STDs are supposedly rampant and never caught anything. I'm not saying there are no risks, just that if you are diligent about wearing a condom and have at least some standards, you're probably going to be fine. Pregnancy scares me a lot more.

Lmao that's not even relevant to this thread. If you have to shoehorn your opinions into a random convo it suggests you are arguing from a place of bias/insecurity rather than reality/experience. You should be worrying about getting someone pregnant unintentionally farrrrr more. That'll fuck your life up more than an STD. I've dated/hooked up a fair bit and I've never gotten an STD. If you always wear a condom, your risk is pretty low. And even if you get an STD, most of the time it isn't a huge deal.

Lol, tell this to starving children in poor countries. if you eat only an apple a day for a long period of time you'll starve to death. Let alone build any muscle.

I'm curious to see if Honey changes their business model after this. I think if a business like Honey legitimately do what they advertise and scour the web for the best coupon possible, then they deserve some reward for that. But it turns out they aren't finding you the best coupons most of the time, and they're stealing affiliate revenue even when they can't find you a coupon. Which is extremely scummy and greedy. If they do what they advertise they'll make a lot less money, but at least it's somewhat legit. I don't see how else they can recover from this tbh.

She's 15, don't expect coherent and well written thoughts. When I was her age I got dragged by the balls into the depths of anti-SJW content by YouTube's algorithm and If you'd asked me to justify any of the woman hating opinions I had then I would have probably written similar garbage.

Mine is not low and I'm still cripplingly socially anxious sometimes. High body count doesn't make you instantly confident.

If not in the regular conservative manner, then how? There aren't that many ways to regulate sex beyond the ways that conservatives have been doing for thousands of years.

@Medhansh Well done for having the courage to do what you're doing, it's very hard. However, are there places you can go out and do nightgame in Mumbai? Like nightclubs or something? Trying to meet women at random public places during the day is like hitting your head against a wall, most of the time. I'd say going out at night is a much better option. It's counterintuitive, if you are anxious or shy, you want to go to the busiest and most sociable places you can to meet people. Because this is where people are most open to chatting to strangers. Daygame has a very fundamental problem in that when you spam approach, most girls are asking themselves something along the lines of "why is this guy approaching women at a train station, if he was really worth my time he wouldn't need to do this."

@Nilsi You can put together a good enough outfit just from stuff you find in Uniqlo if you know what you're doing. You don't need to go anywhere special to get good looking clothes. It's worth spending good money on jackets, shoes and maybe accessories. Anything else just buy cheap stuff that fits from Uniqlo or other similar stores.

If you learn to have fun and make friends while you are out solo, the whole thing becomes a lot easier. If you go out just to lurk on your own at the side of a club and pick out women to approach, you're probably not going to have a lot of success. This is for many reasons, but the two major ones are that you get stuck in your own head and women can sense that you don't belong here. The better approach is to go out and make lots of friends at the place you go to. Find a new group of people to hang out with, dance with, and have fun with. This will make your approaches feel much more natural, maybe even effortless. Because you are naturally introduced to a lot of different people by being a part of a social group. You should also push yourself to approach women too, but you'll find it's much easier when you are able to make a new group of friends for the night.

Bundle getting better with girls into building your social skills. They're quite similar skillsets. Focus on building up a social life where you are somewhat naturally finding yourself in mixed gender places and push yourself to chat to the women there.

I'd recommend not viewing this as learning game, so much as improving/enhancing your social skills in general. IMO it's a healthier way to view it. In some sense it's the same thing but you aren't associating yourself with all of the negative stigma around game and pickup, of which there is a lot. Just focus on having something social going on in your life at the very least every single weekend, ideally on a bunch of weeknights too. Get a group of mates to go out with on weekends, and fill your weeknights up with activities like yoga classes, martial arts, sports, clubs, meetups, etc. It doesn't have to be about getting laid at the start, it helps a lot to have a solid social foundation which you can build upon. The momentum comes from being sociable in general, not just talking to girls.

With fashion I feel like you should get the basics down before you start experimenting with weirder stuff. Could you pull these pink shoes off? Yes, probably. But the confidence and outfit matching skills you need to do it are the kind of thing you should build up with classic solid outfits/pieces first.

I have sympathy for you. Relentlessly fighting with the trauma ghosts in your head every day must be very tiring

You can’t objectively decide. You can’t figure it out. The rules are very wish-washy and depend heavily on circumstances. It’s mostly an intuitive sense. Hence why practice is kind of the only way to calibrate yourself socially. Talking to lots of people and being in lots of different social environments is kind of the only way to calibrate yourself.

Because your question is somewhat flawed to begin with and doesn’t really have an answer. Asking “who decides what social calibration is” is like asking “who decides that human beings have to work”, or “who decides that money has value” There is not really an answer to any of these questions. There is no “who”. There is no individual or group of people that actively decide any of this. Work, money, and socialisation are just emergent properties of living in a complex human society.
