Heterogeneity in personality types and calibrating gaming styles
11-23-2014, 01:21 AM
I haven't had much experience calibrating my game to different personality types.
For an ENTP/ENTJ girls, she is literally the devil. Pump and dump and get out of there ASAP. INFPs are the eternal ingenues, and will sleep with anyone who makes them feel good. INFJs can go there, but are more likely to have a solid moral code and be fiercely loyal.
For each girl, the E and P indicates higher chance of infidelity and a less rigid world view. J and I indicates more rigid world views and prudishness.
Do you guys calibrate your game or is this not important to success?
I think if one could learn to cold read a type, a good player could emphasize his superior or inferior functions depending on what the situation called for. It could lead to some super game

For me, I use the girl's fashion as a cold read. Does she wear preppy J-crew clothes? Then I'll assume she's coming from some money and will be a little more stuck up, and I adjust accordingly. If she's wearing Urban Outfitters, I expect a more laid-back kind of hippy vibe, but still raised in a middle class environment. Over time you'll notice a ton of tiny fashion niches, even cultural references on T-shirts expose what movies or TV shows she's watching and will give you a cold-read into her personality or even a customized opener.
Palm reading seems gimmicky, but I haven't yet to meet a single girl who doesn't like palm-reading, and this is including physics post-docs, physicians, and other supposedly super-logical women. Bring up stuff like the relationship line, life-line, heart line, brain line, and you can get so much cold-read into her personality, and foray into stories of her life.
Astrology is also very good for the same purpose. Its a freaking gold mine, and I bet early astrologers were swimming in pussy, its the perfect combination of cold-reading, combined with fun quirky bits of animals and mysticism. Its suggestive powers disguised as "fate" or "destiny" is a very powerful tool.
The combination of these 3 has worked as expected all but once, and that one girl was a Mormon girl who immediately called up the church bishop to ask if palm reading was real or if it was satanic LOL. Well even then, she was still super interested in it and I was able to type her personality pretty well.
The use of palm reading and astrology could also be used as a jolt of mysticism, fate, or destiny you might need for escalation. I remember I was at a bar with a girl, and I asked her sign, and she was an Aries (sheep), and I was a Leo. We talked a bit about our personalities, and then I asked her "What do you think happens when a lion meets a lamb?", and she asked if I wanted to eat her, and I escalated to make-out.
If you want to get more academic with it, read about Bayesian networks. The idea is that the network displays all possible outcomes of interactions, like a spider web. Every time new evidence or information is presented, certain paths are ruled out, which makes other paths more likely. Finally, after enough evidence is gathered, its possible to classify the object or predict the outcome (in this case the girl, or the outcome of pickup). I've always wanted to create a comprehensive probabilistic model of dating, taking into account the parameters of the man, the situation, and the woman.

That's some pretty neat insights. Thanks for sharing.
Will look up bayesian networks.
The blog Libertas shared is absolutely on point. If introverted, be the stoic, strong silent type. If a feeling type, demonstrate warm leadership.
As for girls...
Well, I have been trying to get to know an INFJ, and it's a disaster. She doesn't chase, nor does she send any signals. I'm working in the dark. It's like the ultimate antithesis to man game. I've been in serious danger of one-itis so I had to quit, but afterwards I figured out she was an INFJ and all of a sudden more things made sense.
Another time I game an INFP and it was so fucking natural and easy, but it only worked because I tried to use my inferior S and F functions and forget the T function.
Anyways, those are with the introverts. With the extroverts, I find shutting up and letting her do more talking is often excellent approach.

A girl with a solid moral code and is fiercely loyal? Lol
As an INTJ, I don't believe in smart man's astrology.

That's because INTJs are not very imaginative
But yeah, my sample size is small but all three INFJs I've met were by far the best relationship material. I doubt you'd ever be able to get one to cheat on her BF.
INFPs on the other hand.
Btw: some of the scientific criticsm of MBTI is relevant, but most of it I've read is extreme hyperbole where they use more straw-men then really give the MBTI approach fair consideration.

I think the MBTI is largely accurate. ENTJ describes my personality and traits extremely well, and I find it does the same with other people I know according to the type they score as.

INFJs are very instinctually driven and operate on a body language channel. INFJs are addictive little fuckers because they know how to hit anyone's buttons just right. This will sound strange, but be direct with your ambiguity. Charming people puzzles win these types over.
Frenchie, you've thought about this somewhat. What makes you say that?
Most guys in here are ENTPs (no wonder - woman is the ultimate intellectual challenge) - and I've often heard INFJs are often ideal matches. Not that I'm looking to settle down. Any opinion on this?

Are they?
Maybe we should do a census of sorts and talk more about this stuff - the game strengths and weaknesses for each type, the best type of girl to go for, etc. It would be interesting.

Ideal for ENTP. For ENTJ, you'd probably want an INTP

I've found learning about MBTI types to be very useful for improving my relationships. I've made a great effort to be as humble and open minded about others' feelings as I can, but being an ISTJ, my abilities in that regard are limited.
I'm currently navigating a situation with an ESFJ, and it's had ups and downs. Communication is often very enjoyable and satisfying with them. When there's disagreements, it's difficult. If I'm frustrated, I'm very frank and want to solve an issue immediately. But to her, she's extremely sensitive to criticism. If I had learned a bit more about personality types, this would have been easy to foresee. Now I know what to expect before it happens, and can head it off easily. Overthinking game made me seriously cut back on my complimenting frequency, but they're actually beneficial in this scenario.
I think it's a highly valuable tool in learning the hot buttons and hazards with the different people you come across. Definitely take a look.
