But of course, I finally see the error of my ways! Instead of sarging bars, I should become an attractive millionaire celebrity and have the clubs I visit play my music. It's so simple, yet so effective. Thanks man!
Kidding aside - there's guys who have game but absolutely nothing else going for them and are still immensely successful with women. And I live in a city where loaded and successful investment bankers go home alone every night and wipe their schlongs with 100 dollar bills after they're done servicing themselves.
It's about balance. I never made pickup my only goal in life (wrong; I did for a long time, but not anymore), it's crucial to chase dreams that aren't tail. At the same time though, game takes practice. Visit London to see living proof that no matter how successful you are, if you don't take the time to go out and learn how to interact with women, you have a fair chance of still being a virgin at 30.
I will allow you to insert your own line about Ying and Yang, work hard and play hard, balancing priorities or whatever you want to call it. I know one way of getting the 'lifestyle' BetaMale is talking about - look after all the 3 key areas of your life (health, wealth and love). If you know another path, I would love to hear about it.
Still, good post. Gets people thinking.
Relating to the other discussion - for simplicity's sake, I'll say that it's 100% about game. Women don't respond to biological looks that much. Under 'game' I understand belief system, right subcommunications (body language, eye contact, tonality etc.), your linguistic patterns (the way you use your words) and basic grooming (I hope I don't need to bring up examples of ugly guys who groom themselves well, have game and therefore get unparalleled results with women).
I absolutely agree that game technique is extremely important. But to say it is 100% is just not the case. If you are a 30 something who lives in his mom's basement with no job, ambitions, or talents (beyond routines) then it is going to be very difficult to attract women even if you run tight game.
On the other hand, if you have "the man" status, not just in mentality but also in tangible areas of your life (health, wealth, and love like ace said) the game is much easier.
I think we are all on the same page with technique vs. life value. My point is that when you live an exciting and fufilling life, that fills in more of that 100% we are speaking of.
