The Game is Played in the Field

I was looking through my copy of Mystery Method and hit this section, which I thought I'd toss up on the blog for your edification.

The Game is not played on a computer or the Internet. It's not played in a book. It's played in the real world, with real people and real situations. Only through repeated practice in the field can we gain intuition and skill. Over time, these methods become habitual. Once internalized over a few disciplined weeks, it is in fact easier to keep doing them than to stop.

Focus on building your skill, not on getting laid or meeting your new girlfriend. Think of it like you are learning a new video game.

Don't obsess over a particular woman. Forget about that girl you have been pining over for the past three months.

Don't bother getting good at fixing things in the damage zone. It's easier to attract a new woman than it is to fix things when they go wrong with your existing target. (When things go right, attraction is created in seconds or minutes, and sex occurs in four to ten hours.)

Some good advice. He's actually packed a lot in here. Let's break it down a bit.
1. Get off your butt and go practice your game in the real world. That's where you'll really learn how to do this stuff.
2. Focus on learning and improving, not on getting laid.
3. Start fresh. Instead of putting energy into that one girl you've been wanting to nail, just get out and meet lot's of new women. Work on your skills.

All good stuff. I see a lot of newbies drawn to PUA because there's this "one girl" they've been working on, and they haven't made any progress, or they've gotten stuck. Nothing wrong with that, but what if you dropped her for a month and met 100 new women instead of working on her. Would that get her attention, seeing you with a new woman every time she passes you by? Would the total freeze out get her attention? Only one way to find out, my friends. The Game is played in the field, so that's where you need to be.

Good luck.
