So You Dont Want To Play The Game

Posted by Blade On November - 5 - 2009

VENT ALERT! Oh, you don’t want to “play that game”? Think the perfect guy should instantly see all you have to offer, and you shouldn’t have to work for it? . I’ve met a few guys who said they don’t want to play that game either. Women should flock to them because they are nice, and sweet. No points for guessing how that’s working out. It’s not about “nice”, it’s about how the world is!

If what you are doing is yielding you the results that you want in your dating life..then more power to you. If not, perhaps you need to change the way you think.
LIFE DOES NOT OWE YOU SHIT!

    Haha. You know, I am one of those people that do not wish to play the game and I really dislike it. BUT, you’re right. This is life. Things don’t just fall into your lap, and you really have to work for it… So play it, I will…

    Blade, I think it’s more about HOW you play the game.
    I just hate the lies that normally go with the game.
    And that’s why I don’t play the game that way.
    Anyway… not everyone needs or wants to play.
    There’s more to life than dating.
    I’ll get to it when I’m ready.
    :)

      you are completely right.
      its how you play it.
      back in the day it was called courtship…its not a new thing.
      and it doesn’t have to involve deceit!
      life is complex, but with everything in life ..you have to put in some sort of effort..dating or “the game” isn’t outside of that

    Can I just add, I’m having a damn good time learning how to play, playing, and winning…

  4. Blade says:

    This rant was born of a discussion I had with a friend of mine.
    dissatisfied with their dating life yet they are not willing to work to change that.

    You are a disgusting little boy who treats women as objects.

    • Blade says:

      I’ve had that thrown in my face for years.
      its usually by the uninformed.
      I will say this, I can understand why one would think that way.

      PS: It’s “treats women AS objects”

      • femineestah says:

        P.S. That’s exactly what I wrote, you silly little man.

        Treating dating as a game objectifies and trivialises the whole process to the detriment of all parties involved, but most especially – of course – the women.

        The object of any game is to win – to score more than the other individuals taking part – knowingly or otherwise.

        You cheapen love. And why? Because of your own failings therein, I would suspect.

        • Blade says:

          trivializes the process..what process..the process of falling in love? I don’t get it. last time I checked love / dating did not come with a manual…a list of standards. all ou have is what you want..with no guideline of how to get it.

          true, the object of the game is to win.
          It’s naive to think that everybody measure of a win is JUST to score. A win means different things to different people at different times in their lives.
          some people just want to fuck
          some people want to get married and settled down.
          some people want to learn if any of the above is what they want.

          Is it so outlandish to think that perhaps BOTH parties involved could actually WIN?

          I blogged about my failings…its because of my failings that I’ve learnt. If you want something out of life you have to work at it.

          PS: #FAIL on my part on the grammar error…multitasking here. hahaha

        • bernd says:

          Yeah, poor women! How DARE men learn what works and what doesn’t, and how to choose which path to follow? How DARE men learn to get what they want, to develop their ability to match the persuasiveness of lipstick, mascara and deep necklines!

          (P.S. not all games are zero-sum. Go look it up.)

          I’m not gonna go into the detail of why things are the way they are. “Its just the way it is” Quote by Doctor Run and Doctor DMC :P

          I took dating to the next level to unlearn the mills and boon novel idea of what the unenlightened think courtship is about because I was just not meeting girls above a friendship level. Through changing my thought process in a way Blade discusses on his blog I managed to train the confidence neccasary to gain enough dating experience to know what I really want and how to get it. (anything sound wrong here yet?)

          After many fantastic dating experiences … all of them with amazing girls who would speak no ill of me nor I of them, I’ve met and fell in love with a girl who I have since settled down with and we’re about to have our first child.

          The ONLY reason I approached her in the first was due to the confidence restored to me by ‘playing the game’. I used a magic trick I knew to open a conversation with her, and managed to hold an interesting conversation with her long enough for us to arrange a date. (couldnt have done it without what I learned)

          She now knows all of this was ‘semi-planned’ and she couldnt be happier. She says I made the whole courting process interesting and fun.

          I have full faith in what Blade preaches here and I wake up everyday and look at how bleak my social outlook was before unlearning the vices of fantasy and cupid arrows compared to the hundreds of good friends I made and girls Ive cared for and who have cared for me.

          I dont know how you’re aquanted with Blade but suffice to say you dont know him from a tube of toothpaste, reason being: I can give you literaly a hundred references right now of girls who are good friends with him who will tell you to your face that he is the very icon of what a true gentleman should be. No ill intention to anyone, or any girl.

          I hope my daughter someday meets a man such as him. True story.

          P.S. – you need to get laid girl

    • BlindCripple says:

      I think you’re slightly confused at yo what it’s all about. It’s not about objectifying women. It’s about dating, and living. It’s not a “how many” type of thing. It’s all about getting out there, meeting people, and hopefully finding future partner too…
      Does this help?

  6. Wenchy says:

    Well, is true that life owes you niks.

  7. Arne86 says:

    The game is a good way to realise and learn what works for you and what doesn’t. Playing the game should be considered a healthy learning experience and part of life – like waitering and adolescence. It’s only a game if both parties know that they are playing, which in this case it is – which cancels out the objectifying of women notion.

  8. Blade says:

    Most people feel that dating, how to date and meeting a potential partner should come naturally.
    People have this notion of a Jane Austenesque romance… Girl meets boy, they hit it off and it’s happily every after. In reality its not that simple…how many failed relationships , marriages do you have to see to get that into ones head!
    We do the best we can with what we know / have.

    Life is not a romance novel.

  9. Chris M says:

    Hehe, I’m one of those people who think that meeting someone should happen naturally, but once you’ve met them, it takes a lot of work forming a strong relationship.

    Good topic of conversation!

  10. femineestah says:

    Treat it like a game and you’ll end up losing eventually. But then that’s why you’re all still single and relying on last year’s (http://bit.ly/1gA0h0) FHM lingerie pullout (objectifying women, anyone?) for your thrills, isn’t it?

    P.S. I think someone with the handle “SteriStumpie” needs some sort of medical intervention, not a course in dating.

  11. Juggernaut says:

    Femineestah,
    Your points are utterely useless – let me guess, you’re a disgruntled ex-girlfriend who’s boyfriend ended up leaving you because you got a bit psychotic?
    This entire thread, wait this entire GAME is all about getting to understand women and their complexities from a single guy’s perspective.

    Hell, if you don’t enjoy reading it – what are you doing here?

  12. Iceman says:

    I love it when woman challenge the game.. its like they think we are out to shag 10 objects a weekend. The sad truth is, they may very well end up marrying one of us “gamers” never knowing that all we did was a little self improvement, became more outgoing and attempted a strategy to show our personalities in a quicker more concise manner.

    We do nothing but try and understand them. The amount of rubbish I have seen come out of an alpha male jock while picking up girls is ridiculous. We do nothing like that. We pick out our strong points get an opener ready and go and have an awesome time talking to girls. What they get in return is interesting conversation and the possibility of romance.

    I see no objectification here. If anything we treat girls better because we have a better understanding of their workings. Since I started I have been much more attentive to everything about the girl I am talking to. We are learning to be better men. That’s my view anyways
