With the release of The Game thousands of men have rushed into the pick-up scene. The Game is CLEARLY a condemnation of the empty and hollow lives of most of its players, but an amazing number of people appear to have missed this message, instead only being intrigued by the notion of getting laid by hotter/more/any women. To set the record straight I’ll attempt to frame inner game in a way to help you evolve into your better self gradually instead of being hurried along by the hype.
Inner Game and The Playboy Lifestyle
The more richly developed you are as a person, the less crafty and manipulative you need to be as a player, and the less you need to justify that you DESERVE the playboy lifestyle you have chosen.
Once you grasp this, everything else falls into place: Inner Game isn’t something you get taught, it isn’t something you study - it’s something you must EARN!
By earning your OWN respect, and satisfying yourself that you are becoming more fully-realized with each new experience you have, you begin TRULY to like yourself.
We’re all looking to live the playboy lifestyle, but there is nothing innately positive about the ‘worthless playboy’ stereotype. Oh, it LOOKS like fun, but it’s empty and shallow.
Be The Worthy Playboy
To become a ‘Worthy Playboy’ you must develop yourself as a Renaissance Man; you should endeavour to gain a broad-base of knowledge in areas you believe people who’d interest you will be versed. This will help you to remain interesting to them also; as being interesting is INFINITELY more attractive than being ‘impressive’.
As a Worthy Playboy, you should be comfortable and confident enough to carry on conversations with women on subjects you have historically known nothing about, by candidly and sincerely encouraging them to share THEIR insights with you.
NEVER FORGET: Everyone’s favourite subject is themselves, and NOTHING makes you more attractive to another person than being INTERESTED in what they have to say.
This works for men and women alike - but women are far more impressed when they receive this attention from men (since most men are usually too arrogant to concede they might not know everything… Schmucks.)
A Worthy Playboy is never ashamed of NOT KNOWING, because A) no one can know everything, and B) women will be DELIGHTED that their knowing something you don’t isn’t intimidating to you - and they will be flattered that you’re man-enough to let them teach something to you.
Introspectively interrogate yourself to discover WHO YOU ARE as you develop - to ensure you haven’t lost sight of yourself.
Once you KNOW who you are, you’ll know what you’ll do.
Reasoned Confidence
IF YOU ONLY DO THE THINGS WHICH MAKE SENSE TO YOU, in which you find yourself BOTH cerebrally and emotionally settled, and where your conscience is unperturbed, YOU’LL BE ACTING WITH ‘REASONED CONFIDENCE’.
This is the rational way of leading your life - by following these internal guidelines, you’ll NEVER have reason for regret, and no justification for embarrassment, EVEN if things don’t work out immediately! (In such cases, dispassionately step back from the experience, return to the plan to see whether the problem was situational or persistent, and modify as necessary before trying again.)
By proceeding ONLY with Reasoned Confidence, the only guilt you need EVER feel is the guilt of letting yourself down; the ONLY embarrassment, the embarrassment of making the same mistakes over again; the ONLY regret, the regret of not having come to this epiphany earlier.
Explore your world - expand your horizons, develop new friendships with people of high integrity and ethics, and remain true to yourself and your word. Your relationships and your reputation are your strongest weapons in the battle against psychological misery and emotional defeat - make certain they are solid, just, and dependable as best you can.
Most of all, YOU MUST BECOME SELF-ACTUALIZED - in other words, you need to find your comfort with yourself based on your confidently and successfully following your own path, and NOT narcissistically through the approval of others.
Permitting yourself to be held-back from progressing because you fear the disapproval of people you don’t admire is MADNESS!
