Humans often romanticize the 'good old days,' believing they were better than present times, despite the reality that past experiences were likely not as idyllic as remembered. This nostalgia may serve as a coping mechanism for contemporary dissatisfaction, suggesting that both men and women today are not fundamentally different from those in the past, but are merely operating under fewer societal constraints. To foster genuine attraction and loyalty in relationships, men must develop better interpersonal skills and 'game' rather than relying on outdated notions of past stereotypes.
What Does Game Really Mean?
- 2. One of the most common features of humans is we always long for the "good old days."
- 3. Meaning that no matter when any particular society shows up in history, there's always a large percentage of folks (from ALL levels of society) that moan about how hard it is, compared to those glorious days of yore, when gold rained from the skies.
- 4. Well, hindsight, as they say, is 20-20.
- 5. (Don't worry, I know I'm mangling metaphors!)
- 6. Meaning whenever humans recall the past, we recall it not as it really was, but only the good parts.
- 7. Some believe this has an evolutionary component.
- 8. Since humans are naturally wired to learn from experience, we tend to remember the good stuff, the stuff that worked, rather than the crappy stuff.
- 9. It's also a handy way to complain without sounding like we're complaining.
- 10. After all, if it's the times that are keeping you down, rather than your skills, then it's not really your fault, is it?
- 11. Unfortunately, this is an ego- protecting con.
- 12. The good old days were NEVER as good as we imagine they were.
- 13. Guys complain about them all the time.
- 14. Back in the good old days, women were loyal, and all you had to do was get yourself a nice wife, and you were set.
- 15. That's the way it worked on those 50's TV shows, right?
- 16. Well, from statistics, divorces were a lot lower back then.
- 17. But what does that mean?
- 18. Does that mean married couples were super happy, and it was one gigantic love fest?
- 19. Not really.
- 20. Think of it this way.
- 21. If you had a pretty good job, that started at 7 AM, you'd show up on time.
- 22. Especially if there was a zero tolerance policy on being late.
- 23. You'd have NO PROBLEM jumping out of bed at 6 AM every morning, AND going to sleep pretty early every night.
- 24. But what if you had a bunch of money that didn't require you to get up at any particular time?
- 25. Would you leap out of bed every morning at 6?
- 26. No way.
- 27. That's what happens when we live with constraints and incentives.
- 28. It's easy to keep our noses clean.
- 29. But when those constraints and incentives are gone, so do our good habits.
- 30. So, it not that women today are any different than the mythical women of yore, there're just a lot less restrictions.
- 31. Women aren't FORCED to stay in a crappy marriage like they were 60 years ago.
- 32. But here's the thing.
- 33. Back then, since women (and men) were stuck, men didn't have to have ANY kind of game, whatsoever.
- 34. And most men today have crappy game as well.
- 35. Only because it's so "normal" to have many sexual partners, and getting laid is pretty easy, most men convince themselves their game is tight just because they can get laid.
- 36. But nowadays, if you want a loyal woman, you've got to create REAL attraction.
- 37. And here's something else.
- 38. Back in the "good old days" you may have had a lower divorce rate, but guys living with girls who secretly despised them wasn't the love-fest it's made out to be on TV.
- 39. Back then, if you wanted a "TV wife" you had to have some pretty good game, just like today.
- 40. So guys complaining today about the lack of quality women are the same guys that were TRAPPED in horrible marriages back in the "good old days."
- 41. Just as it was back then, it is today.
- 42. If you want a woman to be loyal, have your back, and support you in your life, you've got to generate some DEEP LEVEL attraction.
- 43. And THAT only comes with some top notch game.
- 44. Game most guys don't have.
