Intro
As a technically-oriented gamer, I like to focus on building strong fundamentals that work with a targeted pool of girls rather than jumping around haphazardly & hoping something "sticks". In other words, I like to learn game so I can improve systematically rather than continuously jumping into the field & hoping improvement happens somehow.
With that in mind, here's my system (inspired by Todd Valentine, other styles of game, & my own experiences) of how any gamer of any level (beginner / intermediate / advanced) can approach game & not be confused by all the varying advice & styles.
Preliminary Life Basics
I'll keep this section short as it's not a direct part of game, but by no means less important (arguably more important).
Health
By not having good health, you simply will not have the energy nor means to go out into the field repeatedly to improve your game. Nutrition/exercise/sleep compromise any healthy lifestyle. Don't underestimate each component's importance.
Finance
A limit on finance can impair your ability to access the type of girls you desire in the 1st place. Good financial health expands your ability to access & attract girls. Simple as that.
With that said, let's get down to...
Game
1. Access
It all starts here. You can have awesome Attract & Follow Through skills (see the following sections for more details), but if you have poor access you will get exactly that: poor results.
Like other serious-minded gamers, I've dived into this deeply and determined the exact countries that have the girl types I am most attracted to. That's right, any serious gamer will begin with the country in mind. Violate this rule & you automatically reduce your efficiency by 50% (leaving a controllable variable to luck).
This is why I've spent countless hours scoping the Travel forums here (greatest resource on global pickup info. I've seen) as well as other web sources to determine which types of girls I ultimately am most attracted to & want to spend focused effort on attracting.
I've developed this to the point I automatically can meet girls from all over the world and determine quickly whether I want to invest effort or not. I can attract another man's 9-10, but to me she may be only an 8 or 7 because I simply am not as attracted to her type as much as for the other guy. I automatically do not place any pressure on myself when interacting w/her & it's interesting to see how I can create attraction quite "naturally" this way.
The point is efficiency. Once you've pinpointed your targeted countr(ies) of focus, the next should be knowing the language well. This is a topic you can already dive into based on existing discussions so I'll keep it short here (although I can expand on more later if needed). Then comes narrowing down from the country to the cities. From there, the ideal locations in the cities. In other words, LOGISTICS.
Logistics
A king element of game. Which is why I've spent & will continue to spend a good chunk of time improving logistics knowledge. You simply will have better problem-solving skills for moving / bouncing / pulling girls around with solid logistics knowledge. I will determine which girls to follow up on & forgo Day 2's if I sense logistics are not in my favor. I don't eliminate prospects on a strict basis since they are still learning opportunities, but I would be a fool to not prioritize prospects based on logistical advantage.
2. Attract
This is where things get interesting. 50% of Attract & everything I said before is "Off Field". Meaning these are things you do as homework before even stepping onto the field. The other 50% is active work where you finally step foot onto the field & start approaching & taking action on attracting the girls of your desired type.
Let's begin w/homework:
Appearance
As with the other critical elements of homework (countr(ies) of focus, logistics, etc.) without getting appearance in order you will simply get sub-optimal results in the field.
The key thing in appearance is to dress for your target demographic. If you're into goth hip-hop girls, you simply can't maximize your results if you're dressed like a James Bond suited ace. Not to say you won't get results (dressing well in whatever style is generally still good), but dressing towards your target demographic simply builds attraction & comfort with the girls more than if you had not. You save a significant amount of energy & time by simply dressing to her value model so the interaction starts off on the right foot right off the bat.
The remaining 50% of Attract is straightforward & what is the absolute fundamental 1st step of any gamer: the approach. There are many different styles of approach, so I won't dive deep into here for now as this topic is well studied. I can expand on later if needed.
3. Follow Through
Here's where we get down to active game execution after gaining her attraction. This includes comfort, text game, Day 2's, blah blah blah. Standard stuff that any gamer who has done some study will know. I can also expand on this later as I feel a majority of game material has discussed this already.
Summary
So my point is, game can be studied & learned systematically. By following the priority of the critical elements of game listed above, you will always progress in an optimal way (rather than shooting in the dark & hoping for results). I see learning game systematically as a great & fascinating viewpoint that essentially does what it says: treats it as a "game".

Surgically precise game is best game.
