Lessons Learned

- Storytelling is a very overrated demonstration of higher value, even in day game. The shorter the better. Mehows emotional value velocity is the greatest explanation for why this is. Bascially - the shorter the time you take to implant a certain emotion in the female, the more of a DHV it is. This is why a single one-line neg can create more attraction than a ten minute pure-attraction story. They might both impart the same emotional value in total, but the speed in which they do makes the neg far superior.
I have a suspicion, based on the witty and sparse way he responds to comments, that Roissy relies more on this emotional value velocity concept, less on long DHV stories, and keeps the negs and banter going right through comfort. As Mehow says: "It turns out that proper comfort game is actually 95% sound bites".

- The PUA matra 'don't drink' is a demonstration of lower value in Ireland. Girls call you a 'dry shite'. Drunk game, or at least tipsy game, is an underdeveloped field. Plus I really, really like alcohol.

- My willingness to be social is drastically affected by my serotonin levels, loosely correlated to 'how good I feel'. A pedantic point? No, because Serotonin is a chemical in the brain and chemicals can be altered with drugs. Serotonin is the chemical that causes locusts to change from isolated insects to gregarious social swarms. Our brains determine who we are, and these can, to an extent, be changed by science. This is why I am a transhumanist.

- Logistics is a central component of game. Without good logistics, a thousand lays fall by the wayside.

- Beginners should overneg and then neg some more - if for no other reason than to integrate the right mindset and get mindboggling reactions.

- Game is more important than anything else. Skydiving, rock climbing, whatever super hobbies you have, are irrelevant without game. Maybe ditch them all to learn game 100%.

- Negative reactions in the field can mess you up and remove you from the game. Especially flakes. I'm quick to associate negative emotions with a bad reactions, and therefore not repeat the behaviour. This is human nature and a problem. It means that the 'crash and burn every set' mantra for beginners is not a good thing. Positive emotions must be associated with game, and the latter doesn't implant them.

- Amoging/cockblocking is something hard to stop doing yourself if you're with a female friend, even if you're indifferent to her.

- Approaching mixed sets (men and women) is much tougher than PUA's let on. Especially without natural leader-of-men genes (both looks and behavior). This should be avoided by newbies.

- Social circle game is important.

- The amount of time I've spent on the internet in my life has given me a depth of knowledge far greater than the average girl I meet. I simply know WAY more about how the world works. Girls spent their teenage years socialising. I was on the internet and reading books. This knowledge-divergence can be both a blessing and a curse.

- Girls are pretty boring creatures.

- Foreign girls are pretty easy. This is due to the psychological mechanism girls have to mate with the 'established' males in any new social context. Due to my established position in this society by virtue of my birth, family, and social ties, there is a value difference between me and the foreign girl that can be exploited right off the bat. This value difference is also one of the reasons girls have sex with locals when they travel around Europe - it's not just the 'no social consequences' explanation frequently forwarded. This is also why women find it easier to emigrate than men. A mans mate value is tied to status - if he emigrates he throws away whatever mate value he built up in his life. A girls is tied to youth and beauty. These are carried with her luggage.

- Wear tight pants, if you've got it of course. Girls are attracted to the butt, and many movies verify this. And it's aristocratic.

I don't get the no drinking policy either, especially once you've found a couple venues that you like and frequent. You think they'd get a little annoyed with the guy who comes in once a weekend but never orders a round. Good for the girls in Ireland. Maybe I won't wear my St. James cross tee shirt and sing We Will Follow Rangers at the top of my lungs the next time I'm in an Irish pub.

I think it's hard to gauge how boring women really are, since we always have to approach and they expect to be entertained.

i noted the power of storytelling with my best friend in college. our younger freshmen proteges would round up doe-eyed young girls/freshmen, bring them around us, and we would steal the show on purpose or inadvertently with a well-told, engaging story...he and i had amazing rapport b/c we'd been friends for so long...that combined with the storytelling made everything fall into place. this is much harder to achieve in bars/clubs etc.

The no-drink mantra is bullshit if you can actually drink. The simple fact is, most people who get into Game are total dorks (not excluding myself here). And most dorks tend to avoid risky behavior (i.e., heavy drinking) and overtly social behavior (i.e., drinking in a group of people). If you can handle your alcohol enough so that you can remain fairly cogent until, say, an hour-45 mins before closing time, then just fucking do it. When I drink I am not only bolder, but miraculously, sharper and wittier--not only i am more outgoing, but I seem to be able to discuss "serious" topics in a more compelling way. It's only at about the 10-12 drink point, at the end of the night, that I start to get sloppy, but at that point you're supposed to have sealed the deal anyway.

I think it is everywhere.

But what do I know? I am half Irish

Why? I don't think I agree. You sell your house, buy another in that country, you get a similar job, you take your car, money and shiny stuff with you, plus your academic degress, oh and your muscles too.

If status is not the job, the house, the car, the shiny stuff and the money and the degree and the muscles, then what, exactly, is status?

Connections and local knowledge.

Where can you get great x food? What hole in the wall place is really cool? Can you score whatever the drug of choice is? What are the odds you'll run into someone who'll be happy to see you when you're out?

Those are status. The shiny shit is pointless.

Shenpen:

As Steve Johnson said, status is related to far more things than wealth, and the other stuff cannot be carried. Also most migrations seem to involve poor males leaving poor countries to work construction etc in richer lands. Poor women go too, and find it much easier to integrate into the society.
