All this talk of "sets" "game" "negs" etc etc is amazingly juvenile and smacks of a deep felt insecurity. It sounds like most of the people engaging in this kind of thing had extremely low self esteem before (inability to talk to members of the opposite sex). I would cringe heavily if a friend of mine began talking about this type of thing.
I think the moral of the story is that you just have to be comfortable with who you are. Faking personality with lines and routines from a book isn"t going to develop your personality or improve your own self image in the long run.
This is exactly the truth. Aychamo can whine about how he"s almost 30 (because life stops at 30!), lonely, had bad relationships, or whatever, but in the end it boils down to one thing: He simply isn"t confident in his own skin, and too immature and impatient to find a woman who fits him.
It"s painfully obvious. I mean, one moment he"s in love, the next broken-hearted yet trying to "game" women (how disrespectful) and fulfill his sexual urges with no regard to his own emotional needs.
I"ve lived both worlds--when I was at Penn State and OSU, I could sleep with any girl I wanted despite not being anywhere close to an 8 out of 10. It"s not about "gaming" them, it"s simply about being yourself and being comfortable in it. You don"t "open a set" with someone, you talk to them. You have to
reallylisten. People can tell when you"re waiting for your turn to talk or being insincere. Sure, you"ll get laid, but they know it"s fake just like you do.
When you"re ready to be a big boy Aychamo, you"ll put down all of your armor and weaponry and really talk to a girl. Yes, you"ll get your shit stomped in by women. Yes, it will hurt. But if a guy who"s supposedly so knowledgeable, well-paid, and attractive can"t get a woman to stick around long enough... well... maybe you need to work on your expectations and personality a bit.
If *I* can marry "up", you should have no problem getting someone as attractive as you want.
