The fulfillment of your sexuality is nothing less than your battle for existence.

Pook, 2004

Congratulations. You already have Game.

Its true. Odds are you already have some idea of how to go from single, sexless, and lonely to hooking up, getting a girlfriend, and starting a family with a Quality Woman. Because thats what youre supposed to do, and youknow how to do it the right way. You, my friend, already have a Game the question is, how effective is that Game?

Youve probably been using Game for some time now. You have a set of best practices in your head that you think will effectively get you a girlfriend. But have you ever asked yourself where you learned these best practices? They might even be a good set of rules that have worked for you since middle school.

There are plenty of guys we call naturals who seem lucky with the girls. He didnt have to learn Game, right? He just won the genetic lottery, was blessed with a natural charm that women swoon for or has the money and clout that women always want. Surely, he never learned Game? Wrong.

Everyone you know has a Game. Average men never question how they learned their Game. Average men trust the process and stumble along in their personal lives wondering why Players win, and Nice (average) Guys Finish Last. Average men occasionally get laid, but they chalk it up to luck, fortune, or divine intervention. Theyre thankful that fate smiled upon them and see it as proof-positive that their Game must have worked to some effect.

Even the naturals the hawt guys women are drawn to cant explain the success of their Game. They rarely have a reason to question it. If it aint broke, why question it? The nice guy and the natural both have Game; they just cant tell you how they came to it.

Ask a 10-year-old boy how to go about getting a girlfriend, and youll see hes ready for your question. Odds are he was taught how to treat girls respectfully by his single mother, his female teachers, an equal-partner father, and a massive complex of popular media since he was five years old. He gets bonus points if he manages to insert I respect women somewhere in his explanation.

We raise our boys like defective girls, who later mature into men who are defective women. Theyre conditioned to make girls their mental point of origin and to trust a process that will ensure these girls will eventually approve of them well enough to reproduce with them if they can measure up to their expectations. Thats the Game they learn. Thats what we call the Blue Pill.

Today, average women dont want average men.

Indeed, they are entitled to elite men. With every new social media/dating app, the rapidly globalizing sexual marketplace has become more cutthroat and openly mercenary. In many ways, its a high-stakes game. With every newly minted college degree, with every new career promotion, womens oblivious self-assurance of marrying an economically attractive man becomes a rite of passage.

In the era of social media, womens hubris is at epic proportions, with overinflated egos that match their expectations of High-Value Men. Its a Darwinian struggle of supply and demand, where average men are invisible men, and Players reign supreme.

Fuck average.

But how does a guy go from ordinary to extraordinary in such chaotic times? Mens mating strategies have always been behavioral and mental contingencies adapted to work around womens mating strategies. Those strategies have always been adversarial; each sex seeks to solve its reproductive problem in as advantageous a way as possible.

In the past, these disparate strategies had to come to a mutual compromise for both sexes to cooperate in parental investment in children. But for one sexs strategy to prevail, the others had to be compromised or abandoned. From the time of the Sexual Revolution, men progressively abandoned their strategies (Game) to align themselves with womens strategies in exchange for casual no-pregnancy sex.

Traditional marriage used to be the formalization of this compromise of strategies, but today we live in the post-marriage world of the 21st century. If you were born any time after the Sexual Revolution, you have never known a socio-sexual order that hasnt been predicated on this abandonment/compromise of mens mating strategies.

Womens mating strategies are the predominant social imperatives of today. The days of Patriarchy and masculine authority have been over since the late 60s, replaced by Female Empowerment and the Strong Independent Woman tropes. Any attempt to adapt, circumvent, or discuss the nature of womens mating strategies is met with accusations of misogyny! and reproach.

Youre a very bad man for buying this book.

It confirms that you dont trust the process that Girl-World approves of if you want to solve your reproductive problem (i.e., get laid). Youre an evil man for thinking you can know womens nature and insisting your mating strategy supersedes that of womens. You are in good company, however. Statistics show that women are more attracted to bad men and have more sexual and reproductive success than average men. More on that later.

You likely bought this book because youre now confronted with a dilemma.

Its one that the Master Pickup Artist (PUA), Mystery, codified in 2002:

You will only get what youve gotten if you keep doing what youve done.

You probably already know the definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing while expecting a different outcome each time. Yet, this is precisely how average men approach their unlearned, unexamined, Game. Its hard to fault them.

We live in a social order whose power is threatened by men understanding their nature, womens nature, and how the two interrelate. Social and political power are intimately linked to the sexual marketplace. We cant have men who dont trust the process

Eventually, theyll find an adaptive measure that gives them an unfair advantage over womens mating strategies. They might think their strategies should supersede those of women. They may even believe that the best way to form healthy relationships is for women to compromise or abandon their strategies altogether in favor of men.

You bought this book because, on some level of consciousness, youd like to think of yourself as being more than average. You dont trust the process, or youre at the moment in life where doing what youve done is still getting you what youve gotten nothing.

In fact, its never really gotten you much of anything. Now youre questioning the process of a Game you practice but never realized you were taught by disingenuous influences your whole life. Alcoholics Anonymous calls this a moment of clarity. We call it taking the Red Pill.

As of this writing, Game, in its formal sense, is into its third decade. The age of the internet and mass media opened men up to new collaborations, access to data, and ideas that gave us new ways to adapt our mating strategies to womens. Since the early 2000s, the term Game
