First things first, you already have all the tools you need right now. Game, increasing your romantic options is one of those things that is very hard to throw money at.
Sure, people will sell you something that they claim will fix your problem – but even if it was Denzel Washington and Don “Magic” Juan’s personal advice tailored to you – the typical game problem is that a guy is afraid to try it out. So they look for hacks, ways around doing the work.
Your game won’t get better if you don’t face your fears. If you don’t try to talk to girls to see what sort of impression you are making.
With that said, if I was just starting out, knowing what I know now
- Knowledge – I used to say Bang (Roosh V) was a good option, but I think a new player needs to reach further back into the classic era. So now I’d recommend Magic Bullets by Savoy. It’s very close to the Mystery Method. To round out the classics, I’d locate Juggler’s stuff on conversation and Brad P’s underground dating seminar. (Most of this stuff is a google search away). Then circle back to more modern stuff and smooth it out.
- Voice Coaching – People need to be able to hear you (volume and projection) and understand your words (enunciation). A few sessions with a vocal coach will help you immensely. Finding a voice coach isn’t the easiest thing in the world, and you’re more likely going to have to check out offerings at a university, specifically their theater department. Which leads me to…
- Acting Class – Yes you have to memorize lines, but acting is more than just repeating what someone else said. You have to understand the material and have the volume, tone, and body language of the person in the script. There are lots of opportunities to learn how to act. (There are not as many opportunities to act professionally) As a side benefit, theater people tend to attract hotties. Anything that can make someone famous and popular attracts women.
- Improvisation Class – “Just go with it” is the main lesson of improvisation, but this will immensely help out your ability to keep a conversation going. This can be a subset of theater or of comedy. A couple classes, not an entire course, will sort you out.
- Personal Trainer – Game is primarily communication and communication is 93% non-verbal. If you aren’t in shape, or you could be in better shape [iron game link] – a personal trainer will put you on the right path. That being said, fat loss is 95% diet, and 5% exercise. Muscle gain is 50/50 diet and exercise. Is it possible to lose fat and maintain/grow muscle? Yes, but it won’t be easy. [link for lean gains]
- Professional Photographs for your Online Dating Profile – I don’t mean the ones that you got as a kid at Sear’s. Just not using your camera phone, not taking selfies, but actual shots of you looking cool.
What I wouldn’t spend 1,000 bucks on in order to do well with the ladies?
- Clothing – Great clothes can draw the female eye, but then you still have to approach and deal with her nonsense. So that 500 dollar sports coat you got from SuitSupply didn’t get you $500 closer to your goal.
- Anything for your car – chicks do not care about that stuff, by and large. Big shiny rims are great for parking lot pimping – but like the suit or the flashy designer threads – what they say to the chick is that you’re successful. She has to equate monetary success with sex, and there are plenty of old men with long bread that can’t get a chick to even look in their direction, despite the S-Class in the parking lot.
What I’m on the fence about
- Pick Up Coaching – I don’t know if you can get personalized, in-field coaching for 1,000 to begin with. What a pro can do for you is point out your flaws in field. That’s useful. But it’s only useful if you learn from the pro, and go back out there and practice. In terms of securing a good coach, that’s a whole new can of worms. Who do you trust? Who’s going to be able to see your issues?
- Travel – As of this writing, you can catch a roundtrip flight to Bogota Colombia for less than 400 bucks. 600 is more than enough money to do some damage in Latin America. Travel broadens your experience and makes you a better man. In a roundabout way this does help your game. However if you find yourself knee deep in some Brazilian gunch one week and then come back home and have to deal with these entitled chicks the next week – you’re going to move to the past of least resistance. White guys that go to Asia deal with this a lot. Why figure out how to bang American hotties when you cannot change a thing about yourself and have a much easier time in Asia? We’ll talk about “love” trips as time goes on – but I think the correct reason to visit Thailand, Czech Republic, or Peru is because you want to be where that flavor is abundant, not because you can’t get quality at home.
- Language – This will open up the # of girls that you can talk to. So if you living in Miami and don’t speak Spanish, or California and don’t know Korean/Vietnamese, or Brooklyn and don’t know Russian. But unless you get on a plane, this is of marginal use for running game in America.
- Making More Money – In general, making money hurts your game. It takes time away from the important things in life. It makes you a target for gold diggers and women 26 and over. We’ll come back to this, but the fantasy that having a billion dollars cash will make the chicks you want run in the door, and you can bang them, and you can manage them… Well that’s a pipe dream.
