Lately, I've been been asking every married or LTR couple, young and old, how they met. Then, I ask--sometimes in a less direct way--what game the guy used on the girl. If the male and the female are there, I ask them both. Invariably, every single one of these stories have some clear game principles evident: the guy was bold, aggressive, DHV'd, didn't give a fuck, etc. It's super-interesting, and I highly recommend it as an entertaining learning exercise.
I've also starting asking how people's parents met--for basically the same reasons. Of course, depending on where and when they're from, the old-scholers lived in a totally different world than us. Less whoring, more LTR-ing, more feminine women, more old-school chivalry, the list goes on.
How did your parents meet? And, what game did you dad drop on your mom? If you don't know, find the fuck-out.
My dad wore down my mom over the course of several months. They met really young, when she used to have to walk by a street corner where he and his other slacker buddies used to hang out. He hit her up every time, trying to get her to smile since she was a "very serious girl." One time, he "negged" her by asking her if she would "join his sports team"--quickly adding "as the mascot." She "hated him" and started avoiding that street altogether. He ran into her a few weeks later, ate some food she was carrying, and got her to agree to go out on a date. This first date, she claims, is the "only time he bought [her] anything." They shared a coke. They married like 18 months later, when he got out of the military. She always talks about "how beautiful" the letters were that he periodically sent her from where he was stationed.
My mother still cries on the anniversary of his death and when she hears songs that remind her of him. She never remarried. My dad's game was that tight, I guess.
