Way back in Feb '08, I wrote a classic piece Swooping Girls in a Down Market http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2008/02/swo...arket.html .
Obviously a lot has changed since then.
I am curious if you guys have noticed big changes in swooping girls today compared to say '05 when the economy was booming?
I have noticed that girls:
- Go out a lot less. I used to swoop girls on Tuesday and Wed nights. Now it is way more difficult. Weekends are more prime time.
- I have also known tons of girls that have shacked up in the last year, married or serious relationships. Like a huge percentage (I wrote about this here: http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2009/11/alw...blood.html ). Could be that girls are getting older, but I can't remember a year where my pipeline of girls on my team took such a big hit. Has to be the Down Economy.
The point I am trying to make is that I think it might have been easier to swoop mad girls in '05 compared to '09.
When the econ first tanked, it was a flesh fest, but since I think things have cooled.
To combat this, I have gotten back into Day Game. Don't get me wrong, I have swooped tons of girls this year, but it hasn't been as effortless as years prior.
What are peoples thoughts?
Game easier, same or more challenging?
