Renegade Dating: Why ‘Daygame’ Will Never Die

(First published in October 2015) 

The streets of Central London were particularly fertile on Sunday. I’d just come back from a trip to Leeds and the unseasonal sunshine and prevalence of cute girls persuaded me to go out.

During my afternoon stroll I spoke to eleven girls. Among them were a statuesque (but surprisingly friendly) Russian model, a Bahraini student, a hot Romanian blonde in a mini skirt (the cynosure of all eyes outside H&M) and a tattooed, Swedish pastry chef and pole dancer.

Of the eleven I spoke to I got seven sets of contact details (phone numbers or Facebook adds) and just four ‘rejections’.

Only one girl didn’t stop when I approached. The others were polite but claimed boyfriends. This means that my daygame session yielded a 63% positive result (in terms of numbers, at least).

There may be several reasons for this. For one thing, it was great weather for October, and girls were in good moods. Secondly, my state was naturally pumped. Thirdly, I’ve been listening to a lot of theory by other people recently and it never hurts to consider your technique as long as you are putting action as well.

As is usual around Oxford Street, I noted several other men out approaching with varying degrees of skill. One poor sod in a shiny Next suit jacket walked joylessly along, harried by a dating coach who hobbled beneath the weight of a huge backpack. The student stopped one girl well enough, but she quickly made her excuses and ran off. The guy looked disappointed but determined. He trudged on with his instructor, searching out his next approach.

My first impulse, on seeing the two men, was to cross over to the other side of the road. After all, if they were infecting swarms of girls with their game, then surely mine would be less willingly received. But then I stopped and got a hold of myself. Such talk is nonsense.

For as long as I can remember (i.e. since 2005), men have spoken in fearful, hushed tones about the ‘secret’ of game being revealed to the world, of hundreds of guys rushing in, and competition ruining the market.

The truth is that in a decade it hasn’t happened. However ‘mainstream’ game gets—and there is undoubtedly a natural ceiling on this—the vast majority of men simply don’t have the confidence to step up, and certainly not for any sustained period of time.

Also, those who do are not always skilled and so they are not a huge threat,

Most importantly, though, if game is basically walking up to a girl one finds attractive with confidence, indicating ones interest and then escalating, then there really is no ‘formula’ that can be copied and cheapened, since each interaction is by definition unique.

It is one’s distinct personality and vibe that wins the day—and that can never be copied.

Attraction is caused by the strange alchemy that sparks between two people when they meet—it always has and it always will. And that magic will never die.
