I just looked at my the joining date in my profile and wow - in May I will complete 5 years here! Although I don't post much but do read the forum pretty regularly and not to mention feel privileged to have found you guys

Anyways, it got me thinking about what's been my biggest game learnings here?

I joined this forum at advanced-beginner stage with about 9-10 notches under my belt and since then I have surely learnt a lot and also verified/improved upon many of my existing methods. While the forum and the community has been enriching in understanding many aspects of life, human psychology, politics etc but if I were to list my major game specific learnings, they would be: work out advice, ACV, Suit and Pocket Square(thanks G!).

But if I were to list my single biggest game learning it has to be: the text gaming advice(thanks Roosh!). Here's a link to that in case you have missed it:
Roosh's text messaging guide

I can't remember the number of prospects I lost because of having poor text game where I would follow proper punctuation and write long life stories full of emoticons, exclamations and smileys, and would never hear back from girls even the ones who would offer me the numbers themselves. I soon realized I was doing something wrong but could never figure out exactly what it was until I found Roosh's text messaging guide and it was that critical missing piece that surely took my game to the next level, when applied. And like most wonderful works of science, it is very simple to understand and implement but has a very deep analysis and logic behind it.

How about the rest of you guys?

Sort of a dupe

The thread below is full of life lessons, just about everyone should read it.

I break a lot of those "text messaging rules" and still close with girls via text game no problem. I use complete sentences with correct punctuation all the time, and sometimes throw in exclamation points and emoticons.

Older girls often require some comfort building via text before you're in for the lay. The things I learned were most important for that demographic were to a) be playfully teasing, b) come off like you're educated (provider game), c) a bit of "dark" humor (amused mastery), b) qualify, qualify, qualify. Why should I even be texting with you, lady?

The most important game lesson I've learned - lose your ego and don't take things personally. Do you want to get laid, or do you want to be "right"?

Also, lean back in your chair on your dates. And let her do most of the talking.

Man, it's hard to pinpoint a specific tenet as it's really all encompassing, but if I had to pick one I guess it would be abundance mentality.

Actually internalizing the idea that there are literally billions of women out there, far far more than I would ever be able to meet in my lifetime.

Learning that there is no such thing as "the one" and there is always going to be a girl that is better for you around the corner.

Knowing that chicks are practically interchangeable, and no particular one is going to be much more remarkable than the rest.

Realizing that the best version of myself doesn't need a woman to be complete.

Tons and tons of new 18 years olds enter this world every day. There is no need to get particularly hung up and emotionally wrecked by any particular one.

If having a long term woman in your life and starting a family is something you want, the options are relatively limitless, and being a man who takes care of himself and set his life up well, you have plenty of time.
