Quasi-Game Related

I’ve been reading about this story for awhile, but I’d never actually heard this chick talk before

Bro, that voice.

Edit – reading more of the article that got me to think about this.

Something that sticks out when we start talking about advanced game.

“The way she trained her big blue eyes on you without blinking made you feel like you were the center of the world. It was almost hypnotic.”

Lisa got game?

Here’s a little more from the same source.

Holmes was also vengeful. After firing her first chief financial officer, Henry Mosley, for questioning the accuracy of information she was presenting to potential investors, Holmes found out via the IT department that he had once used his work computer to browse pornography.

She said that discovery was the reason for Mosley’s termination, even though it took place after he was let go. Holmes used the claim to deny Mosley his stock options.

Once?  I mean….

Hmm, this next part sounds like someone I know

“Focus on anyone in the room that seemed to have her back, and could often convince them that the skeptics were the problem.”

Another tidbit…

Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani…. Balwani became president and chief operating officer of Theranos, a position from which he made impossible demands and fired anyone who pushed back on them. Portrayed by Carreyrou as a garrulous bullshitter who had none of Holmes’ knack for attracting acolytes, Sunny was disliked within the company and distrusted by investors. Also, he and Holmes were a couple.

*sly smile*

It gets better

In her freshman year at Stanford, Holmes showed up at her boyfriend’s dorm to break things off. It wasn’t personal, she told him: She was starting a business, and needed to put all of her attention on that

I bring this up for the game tidbits – but a lot of the “luminaries” in our society

• Trump
• Obama
• George W. Bush
• Clinton
• Steve Jobs
• Amy Winehouse

All have these “hypnotic” ways of interacting with people.  They have a little bit of merit, build a little bit of an audience, and then make each of their people into disciples by speaking to them in such a way that’s inspiring.

That’s the goal.

This is a day that I usually take off.  A day of atonement.

Just last week?  Wrapped up another podcast with the 2 Youts Tryin’ a Ting, the brethen Moma and Rudebwoy.  Can’t wait for it to drop and get some feedback.

Moma asked some tough questions.

Game vs Sales – A guy that is good at all kinds of sales, getting strangers to buy things that they don’t need – should be good at pulling chicks.

What I know about sales, having done sales, and having met a # of sales people – they don’t tend to be the same sort of guys that really understand women, women’s behavior, and the seduction process.

Let’s consider this guy

Without a doubt, B has inspired millions.  Were he so inclined, he could point at a chick and it’s basically over.

Who can forget this shot?

As a political leader, man in the spotlight, supreme Alpha for 8 years, his game was so far advanced, understanding of human nature….

But there’s a story about a young Obama, talking to a crowd of political types.  He had them so whipped up.  Some random chick invites herself to his hotel room and she tries to seduce him.  But Barry is a boy scout.

So even though he has the skills – it’s more than just skills.

That’s how I generally feel about good salesman.  Just because you can create a buying mood situation – doesn’t mean you can do it with a woman.  Understanding the bigger picture is a key part of doing what it necessary.

The other big question that they asked was about the end game.

I’m in my 40’s.  I don’t find pulling chicks particularly difficult.  The basic sequence will always be the same, even when you change mediums from offline to online.  You have to get her attention, You have to attract her, She has to chase you.  Once that’s accomplished, it’s just working out logistics.

But having been through too many women of all kinds to count – what is MY end game?

That’s a deeper question.  I’ve definitely had my fair share of long term relationships.  I basically learned a lot about myself and women in general, just by dealing with one woman for an extended period of time.

The basic rule is that your game is strongest when you aren’t invested in any one girl.  And what that means is that girls try much harder to please you, to bring you into their orbit, if you have more than a few options.  She doesn’t need to see you with other girls – your behavior with her, your “nonchalance” breaks her pattern that she usually sees from guys.

But once she does meet your price, and you decided to throw in your lot wit hers – the dynamic changes.  Her power grows relative to yours.

That’s when the game breaks for me.

I’ve been with enough chicks at this point, where her behavior is far more important than what she looks like and the sex.

What’s she bringing to the table?

And that’s where I find myself.

I know what it takes to be in a relationship, and I ask myself, do I want to pay that price.  More often than not, I don’t.
