I don't think you need to read so much on evolutionary psychology, but still it really is this simple.

Pick-up is notorious for having acceleratingly diminishing returns from reading too much.

Nice find again wtf are you doing all day with time to mine this shit lol. Also he totally neglects to mention you need about 1-2 years of practice but at least he's not completely full of shit. Being able to calibrate, read, congruency at all times does not come without pounding the pavement putting in the graft. But nobody wants to hear that do they?

That's a lot of reading for one week...

So don't do it.

You missed the point.

Anything that can be done in a week is EASY, obviously this will be a week devoted to nothing but educating yourself.

Everyone makes learning Game out to be so fucking hard when, in fact, it is not.

Learning Game is not hard, calibrating your game is hard.

[/QUOTE]Learning > Calibrating.

Learning encompasses all aspects of "game", while calibrating focuses on specific issues, i.e. SNL, closing, day game, strippers, etc...

Just because you can pull strippers, it doesn't mean you can walk into a college classroom and pull from there.

Since "game" is all encompassing for any situation, I believe learning is was the correct word to use, especially since all the references the article posted appeared to be macro level oriented. Besides, that was the point of the post... learning game is something that, specifically people who frequent this site, actually have problems with.

Since you are a programming guy: It's like when you have a nested loop, you trouble shoot each one, but if the first declaration is screwed up it doesn't matter, at all, how correct the syntax is for the ones inside.

If the basis of reason is flawed, everything you do from that point is flawed to some extent. It seems you are still thinking of it as all of one term. The point is, if you handle the macro level, suddenly everything else IS easy... including calibration.

Learning Game is easy.

Getting good at Game is hard. And this is where most guys that never get very good fail. They don't do the work necessary to apply the teachings of Game.

Understanding at a macro-level and application at a micro-level are two different things. The author of BR's article seems to be implying that you can read for the first 4 days, get a good macro understanding, with some routines thrown in and be successful with approaches in the last 3 days of the week.

In a programming analogy, you can understand the concept of a nested loop, but not understand how to apply that concept inside of a specific language.

This understanding of application is what I think of when I think of calibration. How to apply macro principles to a microcosm set. It's like someone telling you just to be confident, without explaining why confidence matters or how to project confidence.

You need to adjust your understanding of macro concepts down to application to a specific set in a specific environment at a specific time with all of these variables constantly changing.

Keep in mind that success is defined differently by different men.

I'll use myself as an example. When I learned Game, I was already pretty decent with women, I just wanted hotter women. I'm a pretty witty guy, can dish out some good bullshit, am pretty smart, of average looks, average fashion sense, well educated, and make good scratch.

So, success for me would be pulling women that were hotter than the ones I was pulling. Which is exactly what happend for me.

Now, take a young guy that's a virgin, is highly anxious around women, is still in college, is average looking, and doesn't make a ton of cash.

Success for that guy would be something more like holding the set's attention for a while AND not feeling too anxious while doing so.

We all come into the Community at different levels. Game is meant to make us better than we where before we got here. It's not going to make all of us Casanova, just a much better version of ourselves.

So, I say again. You can LEARN Game in a week. You get GOOD at Game over time with work and effort. Calibrating your Game isn't part of learning it, it's part of implimenting it...
