This question has circulated my head a few times in the past year. Why do we try to get better at Daygame? Whether that’s improving ratios, higher quality or just sheer number of lays. What motivates us to get more than last year? What’s the source of that motivation? To start with we have the … Continue reading What Motivates Us?

RE: A Message from the Desk of Thomas Crown The last week at work, and surely the week ahead, was tough. With two colleagues absent I’m left to manage a typically lazy Italian, nurture a team in another location, and deal with all the extra crap coming my way in my boss’ absence. Most of … Continue reading 25/01/19

I’m lying on my bed and observing the colours of the sheets, the flowery pattern and pastel blue shades, and in this moment I have a realisation. I nurture it for a few more hours before re-heating a solid brick of egg fried rice and setting it aside to cool. Throughout writing I also realise … Continue reading 13/01/19

I sit back and feel my lunch inside me. It’s the first thing I’ve eaten today and transfigures the erratic caffeine fueled mood of the morning into a feeling of direction. I’m suddenly reading with zest and digesting the pages at a meta-level. I’m reading Nausea and I think I’ve found the meaning of life, … Continue reading 08/01/19

“That was either a false positive, or a lay,” I tell Mr Babnik as we walk between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. It’s a crisp day but I’ve got multiple layers on and tucked my undershirt into my jeans to trap warmth. I’m telling him about my first set of the year. First set, first … Continue reading 05/01/19
2019 Goals, Contradictory Aims, Newbie Lays and Notch-Hunger
I had two goals for 2018: 24 lays 50:1 approach to lay ratio As you can read here, I’m an abject failure. Boo hoo, woe is me! Just kidding, I’m awesome. The only time you lose is when you fail to learn. The problems I built into my 2018 goals were twofold: Contradictory aims Compliance … Continue reading 2019 Goals, Contradictory Aims, Newbie Lays and Notch-Hunger
2018 Statistics
As I stated so wisely in my 2016/17 statistics: “competition exists only with yourself.” Let’s see how I fared: 2018 Overview 815 approaches 221 numbers 37 dates 14 lays (plus another Daygame lay but the approach was done in 2017, so it doesn’t count for the ratios) Ratios 3.7 approaches to each number close 22 … Continue reading 2018 Statistics
My Daygame Route
If this blog ever contained a fluff-piece, then this is it: my Daygame route. Together with sets and stopping to buy a coffee, it takes around 2.5 hours. I start at Oxford Circus and then walk to Tottenham Court Road, up Tottenham Court Road a bit towards Goodge Street and back again. Diving in at … Continue reading My Daygame Route
A Collection of Near-Misses
I’m looking at my statistics for this year and at the data I collected from my dates: 37 dates, 24 kisses, 18 bouncebacks and 14 lays. I can remember each girl from the last two categories and today I’ll be looking at what went wrong with those four girls who came back to my place, … Continue reading A Collection of Near-Misses
When Abundance Becomes the Problem (and what to do about it)
An old adage among Daygamers says that abundance is the solution to all your problems, and no doubt I agree, but only to a point. For a beginner, abundance is the solution to all the troubles of your life but I can safely say I’m beyond that stage now. This year I’ve seen how abundance … Continue reading When Abundance Becomes the Problem (and what to do about it)
