I recently finished re-reading The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane and today I want to share some of its lessons with you and give you my recommendation. This book falls firmly into the practicable camp, rather than Seven Habits, which was a lot more foundational. I prefer the practical books, though, since I already … Continue reading The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)

Your Potential
As has been noted before, the similarities between bodybuilding and Daygame are seemingly endless; I only need to go to the gym to get an idea for a blog post. Today is all about genetic potential. There’s an old Krauser post where he talks about “reveal vs restructure,” in that some guys only need to … Continue reading Your Potential
My Current Opener
Recently I put out my standard tweet asking for post ideas and Roderick was kind enough to respond. In fact, he’s going to get three posts for his efforts. The first one, today, is the opener I’m currently using, which I’ve pieced together over the years from numerous sources (check my Recommend Reading), and I’m … Continue reading My Current Opener
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers
I just finished reading the core of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. In terms of whether I’d recommend reading it or not, I’d give it a five or a six out of ten. The author just rubbed me up the wrong way and I’d much rather have read a condensed … Continue reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers
The Wedge and the Homeless Man Principle
Today’s post is another shining example of my sick drawing skills and links back to a couple of recent posts: “Does Game Work?” and Midwest’s “Indoor Daygame Guide Review.” Have a read of those before continuing here. And here it is: my Mona Lisa. Here’s what’s going on in the drawing: the line represents the … Continue reading The Wedge and the Homeless Man Principle
Does Game Work?
Now that I’ve got you with that clickbait-y title, let me clarifying my question: I’m not asking whether the act of Game is effective - that it’s all smoke and mirrors in front of money and looks - because we can clearly see that at the very least some elements of Game such as systematically … Continue reading Does Game Work?
The Bank Of Vibe: An Analogy To Make You A Happier Person
Today’s post is just a short, simple analogy which you can put in your back pocket and take with you as you go. Imagine that your vibe is inside a bank account. You can make deposits and withdrawals. You sometimes pay fees. You can dip into your overdraft. You can get a loan. Fun stuff, … Continue reading The Bank Of Vibe: An Analogy To Make You A Happier Person
Luck, The Missing Ingredient (Part 2)
This post is the second of a two part series on the “missing ingredients” needed for successful Daygame. Read as much theory and learn as many techniques as you like and grow your SMV and you’ll still need these things to succeed. You’ll find the first post on the quality of “sisu” here. Luck is … Continue reading Luck, The Missing Ingredient (Part 2)
You Do Not Decide Your SMV (plus anchoring, SMV and the SMP)
Recently Pink Panther and I had a debate on Twitter in response to this tweet: He then put up a post on his blog to continue the debate: I messaged PP about this to confirm this is what his theory is and in today’s post I’m going to respond to it: That between a female … Continue reading You Do Not Decide Your SMV (plus anchoring, SMV and the SMP)
Big Sam, Arbitrage, Mean Reversion and First Mover Advantage
Today I was listening to a podcast about Sam Allardyce, or Big Sam as he’s known colloquially. For those not familiar with him he’s a football manager who’s famous for taking the helm at struggling teams and saving them from relegation. Because of the way his teams play he’s often ridiculed but what’s not widely … Continue reading Big Sam, Arbitrage, Mean Reversion and First Mover Advantage
