This is a long post. Apologies. I am creating such a post for the following reasons:
-To finally introduce myself as I have been a long time lurker;
-As a reference point for my future threads so that fellow members can tailor a response to fit my background / level experience;
-I would like to start offering my (limited) knowledge of game to beginners, as this forum has been such an incredible help to me over the past 12 months.
TL/DR: just read the ‘Why I’m here’ section below, plus the headings in bold.

Why I’m here – to go from intermediate to advanced.
I am here because my game is a little average when I target girls that are above me in rating (girls above 8). I thought my level of game was advanced, but I quickly realized I was only getting 6/7/8’s and it was only as a direct result of running ‘good looking guy game’ (GLGG). Getting girls below or at your level isnt really game, according to Nick Krauser – and I tend to agree with him.
Nick Krauser states
“…If you’re pulling exactly the type of girls you ought to be pulling anyway without Game, then pulling them a bit faster or in higher quantity doesn’t really say much…”
Here is the link to the article in question (hopefully I am allowed to do this? Apologies if ive breached anything).
In summary, im great at closing 6-8’s. But I would like to start succeeding in the 8-10 range moving forward. I have a lot to improve on. I know this. The one thing I would really like to achieve is GLGG optimization, ie. what are the max. levels I can push my game to, without sounding alarm bells (Im aware that I can get away with more stuff than the average fella, just need to know where this is).
My appearance - Good looking fellow, well built and lean.
•Late 30’s; 6’1; 198lbs(90kgs), well built, relatively lean (10% bf);
•Italian heritage, olive skin, full head of hair & no greys (very fortunate)
•Get told I look like between 28-33, which means I don’t raise eyebrows when interacting with 18 yo’s (from bystanders or sets)
My game – intermediate level. Quick witted, charming, fast escalator.
•I thought it was advanced, but upon closer inspection, its intermediate. I say this because im a good looking guy, and its dawned on me that much of my success is attributable to this fact, and less on my game.
•Example of my poor game. I can talk to any girl, in any environment. But when I get a 9 in my midst and she shows interest back, I find it hard to ‘play it cool’ because I don’t want to lose her interest. Which ironically is what happens when I don’t play it cool.
•My good qualities. I’m a solid improviser and quick on my feet (I actually did improv and standup in my 20’s which was a great training ground for pickup)
•Shit tests handling: Handle well, have no fear approaching groups (female or mixed).
•Mindset: I’m super aggressive on the inside (in terms of drive and determination) but give off a playful, ‘ZFG’, lighted heartedness on the outside (no outcome dependence – at least to them)
•I thrive on daygame and do quite well when I apply myself in the day time. Always been solid at nightgamer, but my pref is day.
•I kino escalate quickly and im an efficient closer, I typically aim for 7+’s and my ‘open:lay’ conversion ratio is about 15:1 (avg across daygame/nightgame)
My day job – app development, good passive income, allows me to be mobile.
•Have a small internet business that does ok; humble yet steady passive income; I have some assets and savings in the bank. Overall I would say Im financially secure (not well-off or financially free). Put in another way, I don’t really stress about money or being able to pay for things I want.
My taste in female – naturally busty, slim frame, 18-30.
•18-26; naturally busty, slim frame ideally (can be curvy if tits are incredible). Fake boobs or obvious facial plastic surgery kills it for me. If she’s naturally busty (E’s) and slim, she can be a little muntered in the face (think a 3 or 4 face), body just needs to be on-point.
My goal – develop my game to its full potential, so I can only sleep with women who I strongly desire
•I don’t want to keep relying on ‘Good Looking Game’ (GLL), I know my looks will one day go
•I don’t want kids, I don’t want marriage, I dont want an LTR. I say this because I am red pilled (12 months+) and am yet to meet someone where the benefits offset the risks associated with LTR / marriage / having kids.
•I want to sleep with girls that actually turn me on like im a horned up, sex crazed teenager again.
My challenges – battling depression, finding it hard to get turned on by the average girl.
•As I get older, I find it harder and harder to climax, even with very attractive women. This is mainly due to the anti-depressants I have been on since I was a teen (ive got ‘Generalized Anxiety Disorder’). Physch says I will never be able to get off the meds (ive attempted many times but failed). So ive resigned to the fact that I will almost always need Viagra and almost always not be able to climax.
•That said, when I meet someone who is ‘my taste’, I have noooo problems whatsoever. (ie. I don’t need Viagra & can climax no probs). Unfort it’s a rare occurrence because theyre few and far between in Australia.
My areas of development – quality over quantity, focus on girls who pass my boner test.
•Only focus on girls that tick my boxes: I’ve done the ‘volume’ game before where I’ve clocked up high numbers in short periods of time. While its great for game / momentum and doesn’t hurt the ego, im slowly starting to question the point of sleeping with 8 girls in a month if only 1-2 are making me cum. Therefore I would like to focus on the gaming girls with the physically characteristics I like.
