Alpha Mail: one step at a time

Oak steps onto the field and begins to grok the reality of Game:

I've been learning.

Small example: I recently ran into a girl I'd been very interested in a couple years back and never really gotten over, but our conversation went very differently than it would have even 6 months ago. She'd effectively friend-zoned me a long time ago (or more accurately, I'd clumsily friend-zoned myself), but at one point after I said something that surprised her, I saw unguarded respect in her eyes. That's a feeling I'll not soon forget, and in an instant it confirmed more of what's been said here to me than 100 logical arguments could.

The result was that I'm no longer friend-zoned, and I'm also no longer interested.. funny how when you change from responder to initiator you start seeing people differently. Now of course an Alpha will find all that amusing and a silly thing to call a victory, but that's fine. It's progress. Some guys have to start bench-pressing with just the bar, but they don't have to linger there for long. 

Game is not a figment of Roissy's imagination. It's more than a collection of pick-up tricks and sexual braggadacio.  Considerably more.  A dubious reaction to it is entirely normal. Deltas can't believe they've been lied to so comprehensively by practically everyone in their lives. Gammas can't believe that their romantic view of the world is so completely delusional. Women can't believe any of it, mostly because no one finds a concept harder to understand than a woman whose material benefit relies upon her not understanding it.

No one benches 225 the first time they lift. No one walks into an office and walks out with a date with the hottest marketing assistant on their first day of their first college internship either.  These things take time and practice.

I'm not asking anyone to take anything I say without a grain of salt.  I'm not expecting you to accept it without questioning or testing. I'm just encouraging you to open your eyes, keep an open mind, and see if what you observe reflects what I am telling you.  You can't win the Game without playing it.  And you can't play it if you refuse to step foot on the field.
