Shit game triumphs no game

Pretty sure I'm going back to well one too many times with a thread like this, but the usual trend with newbies and guys that are already on the path to self-improvement (such as myself here), is worrying about passing a shit test, coming up with an opener, or any other (insert what should I do next?) type of situations.
It has been noted that half of "game" is simply waking up and forcing your ass out your front door. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, so to speak. More than likely you will meet a girl that catches your eye. The scenario here is whether or not you take action or auto-reject yourself through game theories you've spent the majority of your day reading. I will say this, on a positive note, it will inspire you to re-calibrate your game, but at the same time, you will crumble because you've victimized yourself to paralysis by analysis.
I'm against carpet bombing approaches, but you have to put in the work to become what you've always wanted to be.

Did you read "Bang"? It's got a lot of great openers like the "let me guess..." ones. If you're doing night game it's easy to just day hey with a smile to the girl sitting near you (I learned that from heavy).
I find it's helpful to put yourself in a mode of doing something else like looking for a book at a bookstore or selecting a new Nigerian blend of coffee and giving an off-the-cuff special interest opener that is somewhat indirect. It lets you establish some common ground and seem non-threatening.
It seems like you have to escalate pretty rapidly though after opening when running day game. I'm a total noob to that so I guess I could be wrong. Creating a vibe through body language and eye contact is something I've been working on lately.

Game = social skills. People overthink this.

The fuck it is. Plenty of men have good social skills but don't do well with women.
Game is an understanding of female sexual psychology and specific seduction techniques that has to be layed in top of basic social skills.
Or maybe not even that; I've known guys who couldn't get along with people and were widely disliked but got laid a lot.
If your statement was true, joining the Chamber of Commerce, the local country club or Toastmasters would help guys learn the skills to get laid.

Game is an extension of social skills. If you don't have social skills, you will have trouble.
You need to have the ability to banter, sub-communicate sexuality, escalate, overcome "shit tests," etc.
Those are not social skills in and of themselves.

No, game is not just social skills.
I guess there's something to be said for using social skills to seduce women, but do we really need to be reminded of the fact that hot chicks love bad boy anti-social biker type who act like douche and keep getting jailed?
Since we here on RVF promote self-improvement going the route of social skills + game, I guess we can agree that it's the safest way to game in an increasingly men-hating and politically hostile world. But no, for every smooth charming guy with dozen of friends who does well with women, I know at least one or two guys who go the cavemen route and get laid (and eventually get jailed) Surprised, it's actually these types who never got false rape claim. Bitches know better than to lay some stupid shit like that on a psychotic.
That, and some of the most social butterflies guys are also lords of the friendzone. Once guilty.

serious question, what are social skills? I'm guessing everyone has a different definition. To me, it's the an ability to verbally interact and build genuine connection s with people. I know a lot of people who talk just to talk without really saying much, and yet they would be considered to have good social skills.

"Game" is not just basic social skills. I never had a problem socializing or interacting with people.
If only you knew how bad things really are.
