Since TRPGame has been intergrated (unsuccessfully in my opinion) into this main sub I have seen very few game related threads, so I thought I would share a couple of simple game tips to intergrate into everyday interaction with people. Disclaimer: I have not written these tips and do not take any credit for it, I found this back when TRPGame was up and running a couple of months ago. EDIT 2015-02-17 The original creater of this post DCLdit contacted me and gave me a link to his blog https://dcllive.wordpress.com/ It's all Red Pill and Game related with structure comparable to the content of this post, check it out!
-statements make educated guesses and are far more engaging
-effective language = speaking with fewest words possible while still maintaining your meaning and intent
-women do not see features they see how you present yourself
-women do not hear words they hear your intentions
-talk louder, then louder than that
-always make people break eye contact with you before you break it with them
-when engaging in conversation, suppress the urge until its your turn (one-up-ing)
-lean back
-do not lean forward
-watch others
-do not put head down
-pause, relax and slow down
-do not laugh at things you do not find funny
-take up more space
-stop approval seeking
-my boundary/frame is established, eg. “I value honesty, curiosity, education, intelligence and authenticity, etc.”
-keep your approval, keep your power
-project self-image and beliefs
-honest signals to practice
-do not stare, moral looking time
-dominant and confident posture and walk
-slower than usual movements and gestures
-be conscious of your body language until it becomes unconscious
-allow her to orient her body to you
-tone of voice, “hey what up”
-rub a girls back while hugging, do not pat
-physical escalation
-eye contact
-verbal contact
-hand to arm
-hand to shoulder
-shoulder to hip
-hip to leg
-face to face
-mouth to mouth
-things to talk about
-F.O.R.D (good things to talk about)
-Family, Occupation, Recreation and Dreams
-R.A.P.E (would not recommend using these as talking points)
-Religion, Abortion, Politics and Economics
-the inflection of your voice, do your statements sound like questions?
-be aware of the strength you finish your sentences with, some people trail off when they do not think others are listening
-ignore her beauty
-keep your eyes at normal resting size, if not a little bit tighter than usual
-while making eye contact do not over focus on one eye, move back and forth, find your rhythm - EDIT May 11 2014 - Since writing this I have noticed when moving back and forth it can come off as reactive, attention seeking and needy, use with caution
-soften your gaze to the point you can comfortably see both eyes without focusing on either one
-smile big with your whole face, like you just saw your best friend for the first time in a year
-breath from your belly
-before an act or action we need oxygen as fuel
-draw air into the bottom portion of your lungs before the chest muscles expand and draw further air into the upper portion -funny shit-test responses to “do you play video games?”
-“no I use mature media modules”
-“no I dabble in adult entertainment simulations”
-quotes -“No persons time, attention or companionship is more valuable than your own.”
-“You cannot allow your ego to become attracted to receiving specific reactions and responses from people.”
-“What you make yourself to be is a choice. What happens to you as a result of what you are, is not.”
-“Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming.”
-“Confidence is the reward for being Courageous.”
-“Men have approach anxiety and women have last-minute-resistance anxiety.”
-have preferences to create your identity
-if a guy is looking your girl up-and-down
-“Chief, eyes on your own paper.”
-keep moving on, but preserve what works

Upon reading the comments further I realize there are some legit criticisms. That being said, that post of mine was written awhile ago and I've learned a lot since then. Perhaps some of it is superficial or soaked in old pua lingo.

DCLdit 10y ago
That was my attempt at a brief step-by-by-step escalating guide. It was written on a phone so that's why it looks odd and doesn't seem to flow very well.
I should have put...
-hand to arm
-hand to shoulder
-hand to hip
-hand to leg
-mouth to mouth
It was from awhile ago. For people who aren't naturally good with woman It can seem cold and calculated.
Now that I feel comfortable around women (relative to how I'm feeling about myself at the time) I rarely ever think of 'kino'. I just look for windows to escalate.
That being said, I still get AA just like everyone else. It's funny, when I'm fooling around with a woman I can have almost no reservations on my sexual urges but when it comes to striking up a conversation with a stranger that I'm aroused by, I still get that damn anxiety.
iamokwithviolence 10y ago
okay, but still... first you touch her arm with your hand, then you touch her shoulder and then... how you touch her hip with your shoulder? after that it's clear again. actually this is really good guide, i've been using it naturally even before knowing about it :)
DCLdit 10y ago
Yes I agree. The 'shoulder to hip' thing was silly. It was a step in a sequence that omitted the 'hand' part. When I first wrote it I never thought I would be sharing it.
Thanks man.
iamokwithviolence 10y ago
And yes, it shouldn't be "cold and calculated" when you're in the field, but once you read it it really makes sense and you don't have to think about it. Off topic - i'm not native english speaker. I used lot's of "you" in this post. How to fix it?
Daisy_DukeNukem 10y ago
Someone really needs to do a post on cold approach. almost EVERY post is all about frame control, or what to do on a tinder date, or dealing with your wife/gf's shit tests and whatnot. So a post on cold approach/game would be nice. And of course, how to use cold approach to later spin those plates.
[deleted] 10y ago

T-bear96 10y ago
The biggest thing I've learned to help myself more easily approach is to build up some social momentum. The hard thing about approaching hot girls is that you're all withdrawn into your head. You've been thinking for a while and switching to action is harder and harder the deeper you think. So to combat this, move around a lot and talk to everyone. Of you want to be able to talk to that hot girl as well as the sweet old grandma, talk to the sweet old grandmas around you. The idea behind this is that you bring yourself back into your body and initiate a sort of logorrhea. You're just flowing essence of you. Then it just becomes a matter of directing it to whomever you see fit.
JohnPeel 10y ago
Some people will say go out on your own but I prefer to go out with my buddies then peel off with one of them who wants to try and pull.
Then find a pair of girls and just talk to them. A good opener is literally just "Hi I'm x", wait for them to introduce themselves and then immediately move into a simple talking point. Try and keep it topical and make sure you keep the initiative. If they look disinterested just excuse yourselves and find another pair.
The buddy thing helps because you can use each other as a foil, you also get social capital for actually having some friends and if it goes badly for one or both of you then no big deal, just rejoin your group of buddies.

There is nothing really to say about cold approach. You just walk up to a girl and start talking. That's it. All this shit about pick up lines, "openers" and all that is bullshit. Just start talking and don't sound stupid.
The unfortunate reality a lot of PUA people don't want to accept is that most girls won't talk to a random guy who approaches them. Most girls meet people through mutual friends. Those girls that do meet random guys don't care what you say.
hiphoprising 10y ago
Girls will definitely talk to a random guy if they aren't acting like a bumbling fool.
menergize 10y ago
I disagree with this. Go read my two FR's I've posted. I have 3-5 other stories like them in the last month alone. I'm 5' 7" about 150@10% BF and I own the shit out of it.
I'll approach any girl, and get her to talk to me, tall, short, fat, skinny, they all will. You're welcome to fly out and watch if you want.
Dorkchops 10y ago
first of all, its absurd to say that you can get ANY girl to talk to you.
Secondly, I meant most girls won't want to hang out with a guy they randomly met.
czabak 10y ago
This is not true. If you look decent, have positive body language and pick girls to approach sensibly (like not those obviously not in mood, in a hurry, etc.) 90% of the time they'll talk to you and be happy to.
Girls don't get approached as often as they like to advertise, with most guys being losers these days, many 6s and 7s don't get cold approached at all.
EDIT: I live in europe, this may work differently in other parts of the world.
Kill_Your_Ego 10y ago
Cold approach is a necessary skill to have. Because suddenly there are women to pick up everywhere. Soon you realize how low value they all are. At least here in America. Maybe a full post on it will be useful though.

[deleted] 10y ago
It's different in Europe, there isn't such a huge pick-up mentality in the non-mediterranean countries. (A lot of Northern european countries would give you strange looks if you start talking to random people in general)
czabak 10y ago
Absolutely. I've been gaming in Prague and other larger european cities lately and seeing a man approach a woman is one of the rarest spectacles to see. A lot of women here will admit as much without hesitation. Many girls are so happy a decent man actually approached them that they lead the conversation themselves. And they are mostly great to talk to, very little shit testing and they are obviously not experienced in being approached by men. I've even BEEN APPROACHED here a couple of times, even though you're never sure whether they are interested in you as it is usually wrapped as seeking help after which they try to hand you the initiative. Getting sex on the first date is difficult here though and rather rare, so you have to do more talking before you get laid.
As I said this will differ from place to place, I heard horror stories about gaming in english speaking countries and have bad experience with dealing with British "girls" too.

Freshman year a friend of mine gave roses to a random dime on valentines day in the library. Her face flushed bright red and she was giggling. Then she tweeted about it about got ~40 favorites. Maybe it was because he gave her roses, but at least the blushing doesn't seem congruent with gettting approached all the time.
circlhat 10y ago
Spoken like someone who feels PUA is "Less" and knows nothing what he is talking about. PUA(The original red pill) knew that if they approach a girl directly at the day they needed to change their approach to indirect.
"Do you know the time" "Nice weather we are having"
They have to be none direct approaches and the conversation had to be anything but sex or dating. You do this to build attraction and once you get enough you ask for her number.
At bars and clubs girl expect to get approach and PUA's have it down to science , A lot of red pill information can be learned from PUA.

the thing is, if you learn the frame control stuff, the cold approach game just becomes about what things NOT to do. The actual flow and what to say comes naturally.

I'm going to second this from experience. Since RP loves acronyms, how about "GOT" - Get Out There?
Each area, situation and population will have its nuances and you just can't ride the rote scripture through that stuff. You'll quickly find what doesn't work (hint: if "Hey sugar, wanna lock hocks and make gravy?" ever does work, you'll regret it in the morning).
You can't shortcut experience, good and bad.

The problem with cold approaching is reading about doesn't help that much. You have to do it to really improve. Try 100 cold approaches and record your results. Then get back to us about what you learned.

You know what, I'll do that. 100 cold approaches over this year. And I guess, record results I assume. Hold me to it!!!

A lot of betas (past me included) learned to never be loud/attention-seeking, so when I first found TRP this was valuable advice.

What you REALLY should do is time your eye contact with 5 mississippi 4 mississippi all the way down to 1 mississippi.
czabak 10y ago
The best advice I got regarding eye contact was to deliberately relax my eyes and facial muscles when talking to someone. If possible, do this well before the conversation starts and right amount of eye contact will then come naturally. Having tense muscles in your face is what gives you that weird intense look that creeps people out.

I don't agree with talking loudly at all. Talk at a moderate, comfortable volume and rarely modulate, even when you're furious it should be a change of tone, not volume. People who speak too loudly are annoying and often seem like they're overcompensating for some sort of insecurity

betarex 10y ago
It's basic advice, not definitive. When you think about walking, you don't think that you need to put all weight on one leg, then swing the other around, and replace the weight on forward leg. But when you are just starting to, you definitely focus on it.
As for this continually popping up, last time it was by someone who was obviously associated with the gaming site that it originated and to bring in fresh traffic to it. Won't surprise me if this is the same, although I haven't seen any of the links this time around.
[deleted]
Corndog_Enthusiast 10y ago
Pretty good tips, but I have a couple things I would wish to add.
1) Women certainly DO see features, but they're usually only focused on if they are out of the ordinary or impressive.
2) You should not strive to have a dominant posture/body language. Asserting dominance too overtly will be noticed and you will be perceived as a "try hard". The posture and body language you strive to convey should be one of confidence; after all, dominance is something given to you by others by maintaining your frame. No amount of chest-puffing or perfect posture will grant you immediate dominance.
3) Speaking in a louder tone of voice is also inadvisable for the reasons above. Instead, you should keep a firm, deep (but not overly deep) tone of voice. Aim for unwavering, calm(ing), confident tone of voice. Project the impression of stoicism and steadiness; a voice that belongs to a man who can be trusted and relied upon.
4) Talking about your occupation isn't something a woman necessarily wants to hear when you first meet her, and if she does, then that would alert me to try and see her intentions. There will be mixed success with this, so I don't condone nor condemn this. I simply urge caution and encourage you to be attentive of how much interest the subject of occupation raises.
5) Not so much a disagreement, but rather a bet I wish to place. Somewhere on reddit, some BP'ers are going to be proclaiming that we teach the RAPE system as a guide to interacting with women.

What do "honest signals to practice" and "do not stare, moral looking time" mean?
amazingwolfboy 10y ago
Express interest and be aware of how much eye contact you make. Too little is bad, too much is also bad. Find a happy medium. Edit: a good portion of trp is that old classic "be yourself" with the proviso that you understand what yourself should be follows the lines of what it is to be an attractive male. There are no tricks, no cheat codes, improve the quality of yourself, by humor, physique or other, be comfortable in your own skin, then don't let anyone make you feel awkward for any reason.

killego 10y ago
I have a couple random thoughts on this:
First, I think most of these things are how an alpha looks from the outside. Meaning the alpha just acts that way because he's alpha. he's not trying to do any of these things. These are things that you'll find yourself doing if your inner game gets strong. having said that making yourself do some of these things can be beneficial. but I think working on inner game and approaching without overanalyzation is more important. (never focus on one eye? lol like you saw that's not normal if you're trying to do that)
Also:
I'm not sure about these types of statements (external validation isn't allowed) anymore. I think on the path from betaness to alphaness it's fine and maybe even necessary to go through stages where you feed different aspects of your ego.
Maybe you go through a couple of years of fucking as many girls as you can. Maybe you work as a tutor or join a debate team to confirm your intelligence. Maybe you do stand up to get validation for your humor.
The trick is to not need the validation once you get enough of it.
I went through this process with my intelligence. I used to be a political junkie and I would always try to argue politics even if it was only tangentially related. I had an arsenal of above average arguments and I loved it. Now I have no need to validation in that area. I frequently act dumber than I am because it helps socially and is convenient a lot. I don't even feel the urge to talk about my hard classes or grades.
Having said all that I'm not a beta. I started as a complete omega 6 months ago and the road is long -- so maybe I'm not the best person to listen to about this.
