Most guys wouldn’t think of Game as a drug but it is as much of a drug as gambling, sex, or any other kind of addiction.
You can become addicted to gaming and it can have some real negative effects. Let me tell you about my own experiences…
At this point in my life, after chasing women for years, I can’t be anywhere without being on the lookout for some sort
of opportunity. IF I see a good opportunity to pick up a woman, I almost can’t walk away from it. Now, why is this bad?
Well, because there have been times when I was with my mother, my niece, business associates that I had to really control
myself. Even out on dates, I am still looking. The high comes from the initial chase: the pickup. The follow through, the middle
and closing is grunt work and not as much fun. It’s more fun to go out and pickup new women than to date the ones
I already know. So you get on this cycle of meeting, sometimes making out or SNL, but not building relationships.
And this is the other problem gaming creates. I practically can’t be in a real relationship any more. Spending a few days with the
same girl drives me nuts. When we go out she notices that I am not all there. My focus is not 100% on her because I am
always scanning for pickup opportunities, can’t turn it off. I am good enough that she doesn’t know exactly what is going
on but she senses something. Sometimes, I can’t even help myself. Today I arranged to meet one girl somewhere,
got there and saw this other hot girl and while I couldn’t pick her up in front of this girl, I had to meet her and of course
the other girl wasn’t too happy about this but I just didn’t care. I can’t focus enough on just one girl long enough to really
build a relationship. The moment I run into any problems, I just go right out and meet more girls.
The challenge and novelty of picking up new girls has become addictive: a drug with very real negative effects. I am tired of
meeting new girls and running game. I really want to have a real relationship and be able to relax but it’s something I will
have to work at now. I have to make a serious effort about not picking up more girls and to try and focus on ones
I already know. Given all of the BS you have to put up with, especially here in the US, it’s really hard. Ultimately,
a good life is all about balance. As my mother likes to say, too much of something is good for nothing…
