If you can play games you can play “The Game”

For this article I will be drawing the similarities between Video gaming and the Pick-up game. As a reference for this post I will be using the Mystery Method (Pick-up Artist) to draw my conclusions. This one I found pretty fun to dive into being that I love games, and I was interested to find a scarlet thread between the two. It is interesting to find that so many gamers are identified as social failures. I think that is in part the fault of us gamers. In this post I will try to show you that if used correctly, and with a changed outlook that the same skills you use to beat video games are the very same when playing “The Game.”

Windigo made an excellent comment in his last post about Otaku’s having some serious dance skills. However weather you’re an Otaku, Nerd, or Geek that happens to be an amazing dancer or not, that doesn’t mean you’re are using it to your advantage.

In my group of friends we are all anime watching, video game playing, computer tech geeks, but and a BIG but we still find people that are surprised when they find out our interest while talking over cup of coffee or a margarita. I will lay out a few points that I think are some of the biggest stereotypical hurdles that social you will have to deal with or change in people’s minds.

Ways to Know Women Are Interested

Many guys have told me they lack confidence because women have never been interested in them. The funny thing is I’ve seen women that showed and interest in them all the time and they failed to pick on the “subtle” hints that should have told them to be bold or push a little harder, or even actually try!

If a woman keeps throwing out these signals and you don’t notice them and respond, shes going to believe: you’re not interested in her, you’re VERY inexperienced in talking to women in the first place, you’re completely clueless, you’re blowing her off, you’re gay, or you’re already taken and are just want the attention.

Here are some very clear ways women make their interest in someone known:
