@chitown72: I have an older brother with several mental disabilities (high functioning autism, ADHD, OCD, borderline mental retardation). He passes the time by watching the Disney Channel and old kids shows on the Internet. Not sure if it's his meds, but he seems asexual these days and doesn't care about the sexual things I do. I sometimes play pickup related videos out loud while he's nearby and he never pays attention or makes any comment about it.

Ah, I remember when, after reading up so much material on daygame, I decided to implement theory into practice. It felt like a completely new world and it would be a roller-coster. It was a festival, very busy and many girls walking to and fro. I was buzzing and did my first three approaches on the street. I couldn't believe it! On my first three approaches, I got three numbers from sexy girls. Was I in heaven? Was I walking like a blind man all this time and now I'll be like a king having prettiest girls at my disposal every night and day?

The reality hit me back hard. None of these three girls replied. It took me nearly a hundred approaches to get my first day game bang with a very pretty girl - the grind was worth the pay off. The pleasure and pride was incomparable to any experience I had before. For the first 24 hours I felt high as if I took a big hit of coke...

@ksbms: Exactly!

One thing I'd like to add that 'game' isn't this one-dimensional skill, but a very multifaceted and layered set of skills. You can have next to no trouble approaching in a confident, charming manner that sweeps a random girl on the street off her feet in a flurry of emotions, but at the same time ruin the potential for a lay through poor planning for logistics, text game that makes you look needy or tryhard or activates her anti-slut defense. This is a problem I've had for some time. Another example I can use is of this guy I heard about who gets laid very regularly in nightclubs, because of how comfortable he is in getting physical right off the bat in those environments, but in the daytime is a stifled neurotic wreck who can't even do a single approach.

If you want success, you are going to want to track your performance in the multiple sub-aspects of 'game,' these include

-Basic social skills (eye contact, being aware of the rhythm of the interaction, awareness of social faux-pas, being aware of the fact that saying what you're yearning to say can break the structure of the interaction and be counterproductive to your intent, etc)
-Willingness to approach (in general, in 'daygame,' in 'nightgame,' on your way to work, etc)
-Body language (conveying confidence, sexuality, status, excitement, etc through your posture/smile/gestures/walk; reading the body language of others)
-Texting (any form of written communication - SMS, email, Facebook, chat apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat; intuition and knowledge of the dynamics of text game, like the effect the length/timing/wording/emoticons/images will have on her)
-Banter (capacity to tease, joke around, spice up interactions with humor)
-Storytelling
-Tenacity
-Social proof / preselection (presence of other men, women, and ideally attractive women who enjoy your company)
-Techniques like push/pull, breaking rapport, etc
-Knowledge and intuition of the principles of influence (I highly, highly, highly recommend reading 'Influence' by Robert Cialdini)
-Knowledge and intuition of how women really are (the behaviors and characteristics of men they find attractive, hypergamy, the kinds of things that excite/arouse them*, translating and speaking in girltalk)

and so much more...when I get to a more advanced level, I'd love to break all of this down and create my own personalized guide. My point is, 'game' can be a very nebulous concept, and so when you want to improve your 'game' you're going to want to break it down into the nitty-gritty details, then track your progress in each aspect.

*highly recommend reading the book "My Secret Garden"
