I think what could be helpful to a lot of new members on this site is a thread in which the established and experienced members define "game". There are a lot of great resources on this site for lifestyle improvement and that has been the main benefit I've taken away from RVF. However, sometimes I find the game subforum to be too specific and without members ever truly creating a consensus or manifesto on what game is all about. There are posts about how to score on online dating, approaches, notches, date recipes, and a lot of threads detailing the decline of modern American women.
I'm not sure whether I agree with this thread or not and that's partly because I'm not sure I know what people mean when they say "game" anymore. In my opinion and experience, lifestyle improvement is more than making money, being in good health, having a strong sense of style, etc. It's also about overcoming your fears and insecurities, learning to relate and connect to people, and being able to put your best effort forth in whatever situations you encounter. Isn't that essentially game?
So I'd like to hear from some of you guys, what is game? Is it simply push-pull, non-pedestalization, teasing, cockyness, and a bunch of other terms that have been beaten to death throughout the internet? Let's say you have your lifestyle down and handled. How does game differ from confidence and social skills? I've seen some great breakdowns on this site that really capture game such as this one and a post by Hencredible Casanova that I can't find. I know there are other good outlines by Roissy, Roosh, and others. But how would this forum define game? It can be a long datasheet or a sentence, but I'd be interested to see how different members define it.
