Hey,
So for a while when I was merely reading about game theory, I expressed to my friends that the topic of getting any women to sleep with you was juvenile and would require a person to sell their soul to douchery.
Since finishing the book, I realized there was more to it then that. The power behind just living confidently and not being shy was eye-openning. I unknowingly told all my friends that this lifestyle was for losers with something to prove, and now that I'm giving game a shot, they instantly rag on me and cock-block me every chance they get.
For example:
Last night these two girls my friend and I know, (both 8's), were in town. We make plans to go out to eat with them. Not even five minutes after sitting down, my friend brings up my hobby to them and tells them I'm reading some "self-help book about picking-up women."
Now, I've known my friend a very long time, and I can't ever get too mad at him for anything he does. I knew that either I would have to prove it could work, at that moment, or show lower-value and let these girls think I was a doormat.
I admitted flatly, that the books I've read are interesting, and I use them as tools for harnessing social situations, and creating attraction.
The funny thing is, I figured the girls would get disgusted with me, and my hobby, but instead...they were curious. They asked all sorts of questions, and were particularly interested in what IOI's are. They laughed when I explained the things that they were doing, right then in front of me, were IOI's and subconsious ticks to attract me.
In summation this post has two purposes.
1. I don't know how to get my friends to back-off and let me do my thing, without their constant AMOG feedback.
2. It might be possible to use the actual subject of Game, or Social Dynamics to create curiosity and IOI's. Has anyone ever used it?
