Diminishing returns to "learning more game"

There are diminishing returns to "learning more game" or "improving your game." Average or below-average guys who begin learning game (they improve themselves and their value-delivery mechanism) see rapid improvements. As average guys move away from being average and spend more time with women, they lose their ridiculous views about women and learn that women are people too and have their own set of reproductive, social, and sexual challenges. Women make many mistakes in the dating game, but low-level guys are blind to many of the mistakes, and to many of the feelings women feel.

Once you learn the models, you maximize your own value, you sort out your psychology, you do the things you need to do, you start seeing the results... you will probably run out of room to grow. Male-female polarity is very old. The game is very old. The growth of feminism and changes in birth control have, however, led men to need to discover, or re-discover, game in each generation. Optimal game today is not precisely what optimal game was in 2000 or 1980 or 1948... social media and phones have layered some nuances that didn't exist then. But the fundamentals remain.

I don't think there is NOTHING left to discover. There are new ideas left: no one has, to my knowledge, written about the topics I have. The big ideas in game, around body, fitness, health, style, male-female polarity, eye-contact, accepting rejection, gentle teasing, escalation, push-pull, hot-cold, demonstrating higher value... I get them. I don't implement them perfectly and have many f**k ups of my own. New guys need to master them of course.

Aspects of my game could be improved... my cold approach isn't that good. Usually I rely on something observational, which is not always the best way to go. But, like I said, it has been "good enough." In the last ten years, it's been pretty rare for me to feel desperate.

This is also why I think I will end up not writing much more here. There are aspects of the game I can improve... but they are not that big and I don't care much about them. When the skill has been mastered, execution becomes more important than study.

It's been a while since I've been truly surprised by something a woman said or did. Unfortunately, I also have persistent, annoying injuries that prevent me from doing all that I'd like to do in the gym. That shows up in body terms. I'm still above-average, far above-average for my age, but not where I was... or could be.
