    So I want to know what it means to "have game". Do you have game and what does it look like? I've been very self conscious for much of my life... I've been beating off regularly for most of it too. I'm really hoping that by quitting P, PMO, and MO (for at least a little while on the MO [90 days, at least])that I'll have this "bio energy" that seems to be implied that one gets from not wasting one's seed.

    Chime in if you've got game... I'd like to hear about it so that I too can start building up my game, ha, ha!

    Thanks!

    Anon Hymous said it. Quitting PMO will go a long way in building up your self confidence. Improving your lifestyle, personal style, learning new skills and generally constantly growing as a man helps your game as well.

    If you're trying to quit PMO and work on you game, I got you, bro ;)

    There's a book called The Game by Neil Strauss, a non-fictional account of the author's immersion into the pickup artist world. Its an interesting book if you need confidence in picking up women but the book isn't all joy. Eventually you see that although the pickup artists are effective in bedding gorgeous women despite their below-average looks, they can't build solid relationships on a lie. Additionally, bedding tons of women sounds a lot like sex addiction and you already know what that's like...
    But it's well worth reading.

    Perhaps im being cynical here but since when has picking up women been a 'game'? What is it, a bit like pacman or something and the winner has munched up 'scored' the most points? I was lucky enough to be a kid before games consoles (and the ones we did have completely bypassed me as I was interested in real as opposed to virtual life) and I just didnt hear people talk like this when I was in my teens and 20s.

    Ok when I went to school the education/indoctrination system totally 'attempted'to (and largely succeeded) brainwash us with its emphasis on A, B, C streaming of 'learners' (brainwashees) which is even worse now as I went to parents evening once and was told that my son was below the 'national average' for his age group and the school needed to get people 'up to standard' as their position on the local school 'league table' was slipping and 'points' were scored based on the results the children (commodities!) were 'achieving'. WTF!! My son is (and was then) a particularly bright, sensitive, compassiomate young man and I told them exactly what I thought of 'education' as 'sport'. They think I'm odd!;)

    Honestly guys im not trying to rubbish ANYTHING any of you have said and I absolutely wish you all the confidence and success in the world (in this and a areas) but I just wanted to suggest we consider the possibility of entering into the relationship 'arena' in a spirit of vulnerable, sincere, honest, loving, self (and other) respecting, interdependent, mutually beneficial cooperation as from where im sitting the competitive/game/point scoring mode is failing us miserably, in all areas of our lives.

    Theres a truly brilliant video in this link http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?3649-The-Power-of-Vulnerability&highlight=vulnerability about vulnerability etc and my overwhelming experience with women has been (having gained the trust of many and had conversations about this stuff- just women at work/friends etc ive only had 2 long term relationships) is that the majority are turned off by the gym gimp, suave, cold, calculating 'james bond', macho, protector, alpha male types. Ok thats maybe because Ive only spoken to certain types of women (my type I guess?) One explained to me thats because the macho, competitive man usually ends up being an insensitive oaf who seeks to dominate what he considers to be subordinate to himself, and women are usually the easiest target (and after a lifetime of 'education', porn and 'call of duty' who could blame him?!?!)

    But like I said in the beggining I might just be being a bit cynical:confused: Either way all the best :)
