			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2009/12/08/why-women-are-better-liars-than-men/"></g:plusone></div><p>Women are better liars than men.  This is because, in general, women can immerse themselves in fantasies way better than men can.</p>
<p>If women want to start to feel turned on, what do they do?&#8230; That&#8217;s right&#8230; READ A BOOK!!! :O .. Some words.. In a little paperback novel with one picture of Fabio on the cover holding some chick that they project to be them.  Suddenly!!!&#8230; A Puerto Rican gal sitting on her fire escape in Harlem, NYC is ACTUALLY a southern belle, dressed like the woman on the cover, riding in a Horse &#038; Buggy with her Fabioesque lover whom she imagines is only having sex with her until 100 pages later where she reads that TMZ reported that her man has been ******* every maid and nanny that they&#8217;ve ever hired since their relationship began. <span id="more-7149"></span></p>
<p>Meanwhile.. Does that work for guys?&#8230; HEEEEEEEEEELLZ NAW!!! :D  It&#8217;s the exact opposite.  We need VISUAL STIMULATION and AS FEW WORDS FROM THE CHICK AS POSSIBLE!!! :D  And it had better be the RIGHT stimulation, too! :D  Too skinny?  Won&#8217;t work.  Too fat?  Won&#8217;t work.  Not sexy enough?  Won&#8217;t work.  Not &#8220;slutty&#8221; enough?  Won&#8217;t work.  Too into it?  Won&#8217;t work.  Not into it enough?  Won&#8217;t work.  Not dressed properly?  Won&#8217;t work.  Not doing the right actions?  Won&#8217;t work.  Doing the right action in the wrong way?  Won&#8217;t work&#8230;..</p>
<p>Guys have to have EXACTLY what turns them on in order to feel turned on.  Meanwhile gals only need the mental suggestion of a situation and they fill in all the blanks themselves.  THIS is what makes women better liars than men.. blank-filling.</p>
<p>Guys can only grasp the part of the lie that they can comprehend, so their lies are like the icing on a cupcake instead of the entire cupcake.  Guys say stuff like &#8220;I was playing poker with the fellaz&#8221; and think that&#8217;s a complete lie.  They think that&#8217;s it, because when they visualize the lie, they see themselves with cards in their hands, money, chips, a drink on the table, some cigar smoke in the air&#8230;&#8230;.. and that&#8217;s about it.  They don&#8217;t know what the table looks like.  They don&#8217;t know whose basement they&#8217;re playing in.  They don&#8217;t know who else was involved in the game.  They don&#8217;t know what area the house was in.  They don&#8217;t know if they ordered pizza.  They don&#8217;t know what alcohol they were drinking or what brand.  They don&#8217;t know what time they got there.  They don&#8217;t know what time they left.  They don&#8217;t know what was on the television or the radio.  This is because they were ******* some girl and really don&#8217;t think their main girlfriend&#8217;s smart enough to catch them in ANY lie, EVAR! :D</p>
<p>Meanwhile, women HAVE all this information because they&#8217;re immersed in their lies.  They actually believe them.  When the novel says &#8220;Fabio took her hand&#8230;&#8221;, she SEES Fabio.  She SEES his hand.  She SEES her hand.  She sees the carriage and the horses and the driver and the leaves and what color they are and how many of them are on the ground and how many of them are in the trees and the walkway and the house and the color of Fabio&#8217;s eyes and the type of dress she was wearing and whether it was hand-made or not and how much money was in Fabio&#8217;s pocket or whether the butler was holding the ducats so the lines of Fabio&#8217;s suit wouldn&#8217;t be ruined and the color of her skin as she blushed at the gentlemanly treatment she was receiving from her man&#8230;&#8230;. :/</p>
<p>THIS is why you can&#8217;t beat women at lying.  This is ALSO why women catch YOU in lies! :D  When you say you were playing poker, she receives an incomplete picture of the scene and a whole bunch of questions naturally occur to her that you don&#8217;t have the answers to, such as which shirt you wore to the hangout.  um&#8230; WHAT? :O  Now you&#8217;re all defensive because the only thing you remember from last night is what that chick looked like from behind.  Now that you know you&#8217;re about to get caught, you get nervous and jumpy and overreact to simple questions that should be as easy to answer as &#8220;Was the light red or green when you crossed the street two minutes ago?&#8221;.. and down the rabbit hole you go.  SEEYA!!! :D</p>
<p><a href="http://billcammack.com/" title="Bill Cammack"><img style="float:left" width="300" src="http://billcammack.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Bill-Cammack-Channeling.jpg" alt="Bill Cammack" /></a>Interestingly enough, immersion is also the reason that women are way more SUSCEPTIBLE to lies than men are.  If you have the proper relationship to her (read: She&#8217;s &#8220;in love&#8221; with you), you can tell her anything you want, such as &#8220;No, honey.  I&#8217;m not having sex with up to 10 other women, most of whom are waitresses or some other minimum-wage-type job&#8221; and she&#8217;ll turn around and tell all her girlfriends that her man is faithful to her regardless of what the truth is.</p>
<p>You can tell her anything you want.. &#8220;Check it out, SUNNN&#8230;. I was in Central Park earlier, and the grass was RED!!! :O&#8221;.. 20 minutes later, she&#8217;s on the phone or texting with her girlfriend talking about how the grass was red in Central Park this afternoon as if she saw it with her own eyes.  It&#8217;s just too easy. :)</p>
<p>Now, it might SEEM that MEN are more susceptible to being lied to than women are.  That&#8217;s <em>technically</em> true, but not actually.  It&#8217;s not that the men actually fell for the lies.. It&#8217;s that we weren&#8217;t listening and don&#8217;t care what you said.  When the game is on and you decide that that&#8217;s the time to tell us your lie about what you did last night, we don&#8217;t want to think about such irrelevant drivel and we&#8217;ll &#8220;yes&#8221; you off so you can stop interrupting us.  We like to devote as little mental energy and time as possible to conversations that YOU start.</p>
<p>This works out to the female liar&#8217;s advantage because when y&#8217;all say &#8220;I was at the mall all afternoon&#8221;, we don&#8217;t want to hear ONE. MORE. DETAIL about the mall.  We don&#8217;t care which mall you went to or which homegirls you hung out with or what shops you went to or what you bought or where the receipts are or your parking validation.  Nothing.  Nobody cares. :D  Meanwhile, you were all up under some dude all afternoon and you&#8217;re like &#8220;heh, heh, heh.. Got away with it AGAIN! >:D&#8221;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s probably all for the best anyway because your woman&#8217;s better prepared to ANSWER your questions than you are to ASK her questions that might trip her up.  Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.  Everyone gets to feel good about themselves and the relationship continues.</p>
<p>Will this ever change?  I doubt it. :)  Guys are relatively dense.  When their girlfriend asks them &#8220;How come you didn&#8217;t text me (or have any OTHER contact with me) for four days in a row?&#8221;, their response is &#8220;I was sick&#8221;.  haha It really doesn&#8217;t occur to them that sickness wouldn&#8217;t have prevented them from pressing their thumbs against plastic to text her or AT LEAST hitting the ONE DIGIT that would activate the AUTO-DIAL that she knows he has her on in his phone.  I guess he didn&#8217;t eat or drink liquids for four days as well?  Even &#8220;I lost my phone and it was just returned to me in the mail&#8221; doesn&#8217;t work anymore because people have so many ways to contact each other via Social Media.  Meanwhile, the obvious answer is that he was ******* the next chick for four days and forgot that you exist, or at least didn&#8217;t CARE that you exist until the better chick became unavailable.</p>
<p>So.. Think about the best liars you know&#8230; Are they women or men and what makes them better? O_o</p>

<p>All of y&#8217;all that are dating gamers know I&#8217;m telling the truth.</p>
<p>The way he plays his games is the exact same way he&#8217;s going to interact with YOUâ€¦.. umâ€¦ assuming that he cares as much about YOU as he does his VIDEO GAMESâ€¦.. which isn&#8217;t likely. <span id="more-6789"></span><br clear="left"></p>
<h3>What game are we playing, anyway?</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t know much about dudes that play Mario Bash Bash or Dance Dance Revolution or whatever cutesy, corny games they make these days.  I know about FPS.  First Person Shooters.  War Simulations.  They&#8217;re still called &#8220;games&#8221; because Atari was a game.  You had a little cutesy tank and would shoot a little square at the other cutesy tank and try to hit it more times than it hit you.  </p>
<p><a href="http://science.discovery.com/tv/pop-sci/pop-sci.html" title="Baratunde Thurston on Popular Science's 'Future Ofâ€¦'"><img style="float:left" src="http://www.observer.com/files/full/thurston.collage_0.jpg" width="160"></a> Technology has improved to the point that these so-called &#8220;games&#8221; are now being utilized as preparations for actual war.</p>
<p>I found this out from watching my friend <a href="http://www.baratunde.com/">Baratunde Thurston</a>&#8216;s show <a href="http://science.discovery.com/tv/pop-sci/pop-sci.html">Popular Science&#8217;s &#8220;Future Ofâ€¦&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>One of the episodes is about the future of Combat, and it&#8217;s rather enlightening&#8230;<br clear="left"></p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y4Wn-Di_Za4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y4Wn-Di_Za4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-04/future-military?page=3">Popular Science: The Future of the Military &#8212; Perhaps</a></p>
<p>Drones have become common battlefield tools in the past decade but are typically controlled at the company or battalion level, which respectively have about 135 and 650 soldiers apiece. FCS wants tools like the UAV at the platoon (approximately 40 soldiers) and even squad (10 members) level. The vision is also to expand the range of applications. The Massachusetts-based company iRobot manufactures a PackBot currently deployed overseas, which the military uses primarily to scout for improvised explosive devices, while the SUGV, also made by iRobot, may one day lead infantry assaults like the one I witnessed. A single soldier can comfortably tote a SUGV, and the controller, copied almost directly from that of an Xbox game console, was designed to be intuitively easy for a young recruit to use.</p>

<p> One of the soldiers handed me the controller; I donned the head-up display and started driving. The robot crashed into a wall. After practicing for a few minutes, I was able to steer into one of the buildings and scan for insurgents.  There was something exciting &#8212; and faintly disturbing &#8212; about the notion that I could help battle insurgents with technology that felt only slightly elevated from the R/C cars of my childhood. But I wasn&#8217;t totally sold. Removing the display, I asked what would prevent an enemy from shooting the SUGV as soon as he spotted it. &#8220;Nothing,&#8221; replied one of the soldiers nearby, Lt.-Col. Ed House. &#8220;But if he does, we know he&#8217;s there, so the SUGV has accomplished its mission. Better to shoot a robot than a soldier.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So.. Laugh all you want while people call our war simulations &#8220;games&#8221;, but that&#8217;s not what&#8217;s actually going on.</p>
<h3>Dominance</h3>
<p><a href="http://billcammack.com/" title="Bill Cammack"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/1702724816_1c10793480.jpg" width="380" style="float:left"></a>One of the things that a lot of women can&#8217;t grasp is why guys do the confrontational things we do.  We fight.  We go to war.  We remain in the rat race when we&#8217;re already rich and have more money than we&#8217;re ever going to spend during whatever&#8217;s left of our livesâ€¦..</p>
<p>This is because we&#8217;re built to prove that we&#8217;re better than the next man.</p>
<p>This is why we cheer for our home team.</p>
<p>New York is better than Philadelphia on this day in Football.  Montreal is better than California on this day in Baseball.  Our country beat the living **** out of your country in a war, so we get to tell you what to do and/or steal all of your oil.</p>
<p>This is our lives.  This is what matters.  This is what moves us.  This is what we&#8217;re passionate about.</p>
<p>THIS is what&#8217;s going on when we&#8217;re online playing video &#8220;games&#8221;.  YOU stepped to ME on an equal battlefield where you had the same opportunity to select guns and power-ups as I did and I *WAXED* you!â€¦ SIT. THE. ****. DOWN! :D  That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about.  Proving minute after minute that you&#8217;re better than someone else.  If you don&#8217;t understand how good that feels, you&#8217;ll never understand hardcore gamers.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve personally (thanks to my teammates and other people I&#8217;ve made alliances with via gaming) been #1 in the world in a game that took two months to play.  When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, I was BY FAR the #1 base capturer, planet-wide.  There were players from the USA, Japan, England, France and a few other scattered countries that were represented in the game.  Also, the guy I left in the dust at #2, I happen to know he was cheating, because I know him and played with AND against him.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the flag I planted.  I planted it for myself.  I planted it for my team.  I planted it for my country.  It&#8217;s in the books.  It&#8217;s a done deal.  You can NOT take that away from me, EV*A*R.  This is what we do.  We represent ourselves.  We represent our friends.  People talk about us in languages we don&#8217;t even understand, because they respect our skills and the dignity with which we carry ourselves whether we win or lose.  If you&#8217;ve never felt this, I can&#8217;t explain to you how important it is or how good it feels.  If you&#8217;ve never gone into matches where people wrote you off because they&#8217;ve never heard of you and then you defeat a team that everyone agrees is one of the tightest squads playing the game today and then people STILL don&#8217;t want to give you your propers.. I can&#8217;t explain how that feels to you.  If you&#8217;ve never beaten up A SECOND HERALDED TEAM in the same tournament and the peons don&#8217;t want to give you your props, but both of the teams you beat have respect for you (and you for them) that&#8217;s lasted to this very dayâ€¦ I can&#8217;t explain to you how that feels. :)</p>
<h3>Dating</h3>
<p><a href="http://billcammack.com/" title="Bill Cammack &#038; KV"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1384/961956462_69a67b1c79.jpg" width="380" style="float:left"></a>What does this have to do with dating? :D  Wellâ€¦ Before that day we got drunk and went out to the club and you were looking good and we decided to kick it to you because you were HAWT and turning us onâ€¦ We were gaming with our homeboys.</p>
<p>Before you got added to the roster, we already had a bunch of IRL friends and online friends.  You&#8217;re going to have to make your way up the ladder.  You don&#8217;t get instant props because you&#8217;re the &#8220;girlfriend&#8221;.  Going to your moms&#8217;s house for Sunday dinner isn&#8217;t high up on our list of things to do.</p>
<p>Sitting around on a bench with the other henpecked boyfriends at the mall while you shop for duplicate pairs of black shoes that you don&#8217;t even need to waste your money on isn&#8217;t high up on our list of things to do.  That chick-flick you rented on DVD might never see the inside of our XBOX or Playstation3, ya dig? :D</p>
<p>At the same time that you&#8217;re at a decided disadvantage if you date a gamer, you also have an unique opportunity to be around him when he&#8217;s being REAL.  You&#8217;d be surprised that some of the most calm, intelligent, cerebral dudes will be screaming and cursing at the top of their lungs when people mess up and do the wrong thing or the game jerks them.  huh Some friends of mine didn&#8217;t know who I am and challenged me to one-on-one games of HALO.  I hadn&#8217;t even PLAYED HALO in months, but thank God my skillz came online after about 10 minutes and I pistoled and sniper-rifled them to death so many times that both of the top dogs at the party quit and didn&#8217;t want to play anymore.  I would have been severely embarrassed and depressed, had I lost to them, considering that my boy Mak and I used to whip ass on the guy that won the first HALO tournament and his crew DAILY before he won and received his MLG contract (meaning we never saw him again, or else we&#8217;d STILL be whipping his ass to this day).  I tried to lighten the party&#8217;s atmosphere by informing the guys I beat that there was no way they should have beaten me anyway, because I&#8217;m a World-Class FPS gamer, but they were still shell-shocked haha :D</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy for a guy to be cool, friendly &#038; gentlemanly around you when you&#8217;re out on a date because nothing important&#8217;s happening.  Yeah, he&#8217;s trying to convince you to give him some, but that&#8217;s really a reflection on YOU.  When he&#8217;s gaming, it&#8217;s a reflection on HIM and his self-esteem and self-perception.  Dating is basically wasting time waiting for the chick to give it up.  It&#8217;s a bunch of downtime until you get to the nitty-gritty.  When you&#8217;re the last guy (as usual) left on your team and it&#8217;s up to you to defeat three or four other players and accomplish your objective, that&#8217;s when every split second counts and life gets REAL.</p>
<p>If you have the opportunity to be around your SO when he&#8217;s in this zone, you&#8217;ll see who he really is.  You&#8217;ll see what matters to him.. what makes his heart pump faster.  Ask him to take out the trash now, and you might get a response you didn&#8217;t expect.  Ask him if he loves you now, and he might ignore you completely.  He probably didn&#8217;t actually even HEAR YOU because he&#8217;s so immersed in the game.  Tell him you&#8217;re ready to go to church, and maybe he&#8217;ll quit the game to drive you thereâ€¦ maybe he&#8217;ll put the controller down so he can see you to the door and lock you outâ€¦ maybe he&#8217;ll ignore you completelyâ€¦ maybe he&#8217;ll split the difference and without looking up from his game, say &#8220;<strong>PAYCE!!!</strong>â€¦ Don&#8217;t let the door <strong>HIT&#8217;cha</strong> where the Good Lord <strong>SPLIT&#8217;cha</strong>! :D&#8221;</p>

<div style="float:left"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billcammack/3395585338/" title="Bill &amp; Jody by Bill Cammack, on Flickr" rel="me"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/3395585338_9d3fdbf3b3_m.jpg" width="240" height="187" alt="Bill &amp; Jody" /></a><br />
<font size="1"><a href="http://billcammack.com/" rel="me">Bill</a> &#038; <a href="http://jodygnant.com/" rel="friend met colleague">Jody</a></font></div>
<p>I never used <a href="http://twitter.com/BillCammack" rel="me">@BillCammack</a> as identification because Twitter is a tool, not a home.  The only reason for someone to go to my Twitter page is to click &#8220;Follow&#8221;.  After that, they&#8217;ll be following me in <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/02/28/how-do-you-read-twitter/">whatever app they choose</a>, so my Twitter handle is now worthless to me as a &#8220;home base&#8221;.</p>
<p>Personally, I tell people to Google <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#038;q=Bill&#038;aq=f&#038;oq=&#038;aqi=g%3Ap3g7" rel="nofollow">Bill</a>, because I&#8217;m me.  That probably won&#8217;t work for you, so we&#8217;ll skip on past that one. :D</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re branding yourself properly, your screen names will be redundant across networks.  This is because when something new shows up, Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, ustream, livestream, blogtv, whatever.. People that know who you are and what you do are going to look for you as the same name you used in the previous social site.  Therefore, your lineup should look like this:</p>
<p>Website: <a href="http://billcammack.com/" rel="me">http://BillCammack.com</a><br />
Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/BillCammack" rel="me">http://twitter.com/BillCammack</a><br />
Facebook: <a href="http://facebook.com/BillCammack" rel="me">http://facebook.com/BillCammack</a><br />
Ustream: <a href="http://ustream.tv/BillCammack" rel="me">http://ustream.tv/BillCammack</a><br />
etc, etc, etc&#8230;..</p>
<p>So, even if you couldn&#8217;t just <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#038;q=Bill&#038;aq=f&#038;oq=&#038;aqi=g%3Ap3g7" rel="nofollow">Google me</a>, you would be able to find out what I&#8217;m doing by using the username you already know me as on the next new popular site.</p>
<p>The question, then&#8230; is now that you have the opportunity to easily identify yourself as:</p>
<p>a) Your own website,<br />
b) Your twitter handle, or<br />
c) Your facebook page,</p>
<p>Which one will you gravitate towards to represent you in your social media interactions, and why?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2009/04/19/making-friends-vs-getting-laid/"></g:plusone></div><p>The other day, reader &#8220;Fishingrod&#8221; <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/04/14/planners-vs-spontaneous-people/#comment-22336">made a post suggestion</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230; In exchange for the new things to consider, maybe you could do me a favour some day and explain in one of your articles the benefit of having sex with almost complete strangers.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m going to get around to that, and I&#8217;ve been thinking about that post ever since I read that request.  In the meantime, I went out last night, and upon reflection, I think the situation&#8217;s actually <em>worse</em> than &#8220;just&#8221; wanting to have sex with almost complete strangers.</p>
<h2>Tactical Observations</h2>
<p>As we&#8217;ve discussed before, there are literally <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/04/04/womens-guide-to-nyc-dating/">hundreds of thousands of women on the NYC dating scene</a>.  You can&#8217;t &#8220;throw a rock&#8221; without hitting a chick you might like to hook up with or that you might be ABLE to hook up with.  Optimally, you&#8217;ll end up in a location where you like some chick and she likes you and y&#8217;all can mutually agree to have a good time together.  If that&#8217;s not the case, then the likely scenario is that you see chicks that you&#8217;re physically attracted to that either aren&#8217;t interested in you or may actually actively <strong>dislike you as a person</strong> or at least dislike your presentation or what you&#8217;re bringing to the table.  This is where <em>&#8220;worse&#8221;</em> comes in. :)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billcammack/2858911675/" title="Bill Cammack - Channeling What Women Want!"><img style="float:left" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/2858911675_83b109b8ef_m.jpg" width="240" height="165" alt="Bill Cammack - Channeling What Women Want!" /></a>Lots of people would think that &#8220;She doesn&#8217;t like me as a person&#8221; or &#8220;She&#8217;s not physically attracted to me&#8221; would be a deterrent to guys.  It&#8217;s actually merely a tactical observation.  The goal remains the same&#8230; to &#8220;get on&#8221;.  You&#8217;re not trying to make friends&#8230; You&#8217;re trying to get laid.</p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;m calling this &#8220;worse&#8221; than what <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/04/14/planners-vs-spontaneous-people/#comment-22336">Fishingrod</a> was asking about is that in the scenario of meeting someone and messing with them within hours of ever seeing them in life, at least you can say that there was some kind of lust or mutual attraction that fueled the situation.  If the chick&#8217;s not into you and you&#8217;re still interested in having sex with her, the motivation&#8217;s clearly one-sided desire-fulfillment.</p>
<h2>Who Cares?</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that in and of itself, however, as I think about it right now&#8230; I&#8217;m SURE that there are lasting psychological effects to consistently interacting with women that don&#8217;t like you.  There&#8217;s a &#8220;So what?&#8221; mentality that one develops, in regards to <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/02/27/does-it-matter-what-women-think/">what women think</a>.  She doesn&#8217;t like you? &#8220;So what?&#8221;.  She doesn&#8217;t want to have sex with you? &#8220;So what?&#8221;.  She likes somebody else? &#8220;So what?&#8221;. She says she&#8217;s a lesbian? &#8220;So what?&#8221;.  The only thing that matters is whether she&#8217;s gonna give you some or she isn&#8217;t. <span id="more-4693"></span></p>
<p>This is why I say these are merely tactical observations that the dating shark uses to modify his (or her) game.  Actually, there are some guys that LIKE the fact that a chick doesn&#8217;t want to give him some, because it seems to pose some sort of challenge for a change.  There are also guys that PREFER to kick it to women that aren&#8217;t interested, because the fun of the whole situation is changing their minds, not actually getting on.</p>
<p>Going off-topic for a second.. This is one of the reasons why some guys flirt incessantly with women and then never produce &#8220;the goods&#8221;. :D  The fun of the situation is &#8220;turning them&#8221;&#8230; Moving them from &#8220;She&#8217;s not interested&#8221; to &#8220;I could have that anytime I want it&#8221;.  Ironically&#8230; or perhaps paradoxically or perhaps neither&#8230; The fact that she eventually BECOMES willing to give it up removes her immediately from the list of women &#8220;of interest&#8221; for guys whose motivation is the challenge itself.</p>
<p>So.. Tactical observation made&#8230; The pool of women to chase is entirely based on the guy&#8217;s physical attraction to her and what she thinks about him, dating or sex is absolutely irrelevant.  You&#8217;d be amazed how many women don&#8217;t understand this.  They&#8217;re baffled when guys don&#8217;t back off when they tell them they&#8217;re not interested.  It&#8217;s because <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/02/27/does-it-matter-what-women-think/">nobody cares what you think</a>.  This is especially true for guys that are very used to rejection, because they try and try and try to get on and chicks keep rejecting them.  Eventually, &#8220;She doesn&#8217;t want to have sex with me&#8221; becomes a &#8220;given&#8221;.  Before you say word #1 to a chick, you&#8217;re expecting resistance and you&#8217;re expecting to outlast and overcome that resistance.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all in the game.</p>
<h2>Alcohol</h2>
<p>Another aspect of the NYC game (and probably everywhere else) is that we drink&#8230; A. LOT! :D</p>
<p><a href="http://billcammack.com/"><img style="float:left" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2148/2080841999_2b8942c773_m.jpg"></a>The intelligent guy knows to make a clear distinction between the personality of the exact same chick when she&#8217;s tipsy/drunk and when she&#8217;s sober.  You get used to stuff.  She&#8217;s being an asshole because she&#8217;s drunk.  She&#8217;s kissing me because she&#8217;s drunk.  She&#8217;s smoking because she&#8217;s drunk.  Her sentences don&#8217;t make any sense because she&#8217;s drunk.</p>
<p>There are lots of women that you meet for the first time in life while they&#8217;re inebriated (and so are YOU! :D haha).  Your best bet is to count on the fact that when they sober up, they&#8217;re either going to forget ENTIRELY that they messed with you or they&#8217;re going to have a different mental perspective about it.  Originally, I didn&#8217;t understand this and took it personally.  I specifically remember verbally LAMBASTING a couple of chicks that tried to pull some sort of revisionist history, buyer&#8217;s remorse garbage on me hahaha.  Eventually, I realized that not only was I not dealing with the same chick I had messed with when she was drunk, but that THEY had a skewed perspective of who they really were and that they weren&#8217;t so much saying something about me, but rather about themselves.  At this point, I know the drill and catalogue two different personalities for chicks, based on whether they&#8217;re inebriated or not.</p>
<p>This is another thing that psychologically adds to <em>&#8220;worse&#8221;</em>.  &#8220;She hooked up with me because she was drunk&#8221; seems to be a neutral statement, but ultimately, I think it&#8217;s a negative statement.  The implication is &#8220;I can have that anytime I want it, so long as she&#8217;s drunk&#8221;, as opposed to &#8220;She likes me as a person and feels naturally physically attracted to me&#8221;.  It also adds to the &#8220;So what?&#8221; about what she says because regardless of what she says when she&#8217;s sober, you know you&#8217;ll be dealing with an entirely different animal once she gets drunk.  So now, not only don&#8217;t you care at all what she has to say, but you know there&#8217;s no value at all in her words past her tolerance level for alcohol.</p>
<h2>The Point</h2>
<p><img style="float:left" src="http://static.tvfanatic.com/images/gallery/renee-and-jack.jpg" width="240">Ultimately, the bottom line is desire fulfillment.  Similar to being in a war, and, yes, I&#8217;m perfectly comfortable comparing the two of them on an emotional level, not a &#8220;physical danger&#8221; level&#8230; Whatever has to be done to achieve your goal (getting laid) will be done.</p>
<p>This comes at a pretty high price when it comes to dealing with people.  In <a href="http://www.fox.com/24/" rel="nofollow">&#8220;24&#8243;</a>, Jack refers to people as <em>Assets</em> and others attempt to remind him that these &#8220;assets&#8221; are actually human beings.  That&#8217;s because Jack has his eyes on the prize to the degree that he&#8217;s seeing people as being useful or not-useful for achieving his goals.</p>
<p>I suggest that the exact same desensitization goes on in the trenches of the dating game.  For a lot of guys, chicks are assets. She has the look or she doesn&#8217;t.  She&#8217;s &#8220;of interest&#8221; or she&#8217;s not.  You&#8217;re willing to put in the work to pull her or you aren&#8217;t.  I&#8217;m sure there are lots of women that have reached this state as well.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t a rant or complaint, it&#8217;s merely an observation based on my going out into the scene while thinking about the necessary components to answer Fishingrod&#8217;s question.  It&#8217;s not only a question of &#8220;almost complete strangers&#8221; hooking up, but also people that under different circumstances might not even associate with each other or like each other as people being physically attracted to each other in the moment and doing what they do.  It&#8217;s also a question of whether guys are trying to make friends or get laid (or whatever version of action they&#8217;re into).  Dating in NYC is <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/04/04/womens-guide-to-nyc-dating/">tough enough for women as it is</a>, but I think the longer people are involved in &#8216;The Game&#8217;, the more it becomes not only impersonal for them, but actually intensely predatory.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2008/05/22/dating-socialization-class/"></g:plusone></div><p>Relatively often, I hear some sob story from some chick about how she doesn&#8217;t appreciate the way a guy stepped to her or talked to her.  I don&#8217;t mean random guys on the street that don&#8217;t even know the women they&#8217;re talking to.  I&#8217;m talking about when a guy&#8217;s already built some kind of rapport with a gal, and she just can&#8217;t believe what this guy said or did today.</p>
<p>As usual, women try to figure out what role THEY played in the scenario&#8230; when most of the time, they&#8217;re merely catalysts.  If a guy kicks it to them while they&#8217;re wearing sweats, they go &#8220;but I wasn&#8217;t dressed sexy!&#8221;.  If a guy invites himself to their house, they go &#8220;but I wasn&#8217;t acting like I wanted him to come over&#8221; or &#8220;but I didn&#8217;t TELL HIM I wanted company&#8221;.</p>
<p>Ladies, do yourselves a favor&#8230; Stop thinking about *YOURSELVES* for once, and think about the guy.  Think about what his motivations are&#8230; Even for TALKING TO YOU in the first place.  If you focus on his motivations without trying to turn it into a function of YOUR importance, you&#8217;ll be able to see clearly.</p>
<p>The first thing you should consider is that there&#8217;s a possibility that <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/01/21/tip-for-the-ladies-he-doesnt-care-d/">he doesn&#8217;t care what you say or think,</a> AT. ALL.  Of course, this is tough to fathom, because you&#8217;re assuming that because a guy is talking to you that he&#8217;s having an intellectual, meaningful conversation with you.  Unfortunately for you, guys happen to know that women require conversation in order to get to the good part.  This means that there&#8217;s a good probability that he&#8217;s only talking to you so he can stay in the game long enough for you to decide that you feel like giving him some.</p>
<p>Now&#8230; If you can step away from the trees so you can visualize the forest&#8230; Lots of your interactions with guys is pure game&#8230; tactics.  By the time a guy meets you, he&#8217;s bringing to the table the sum of his experiences with girls and women up to the present day.  Depending on whom he&#8217;s been dating / having sex with / spending time with before meeting you, he may or may *not* be mentally prepared to deal with YOU properly.  This can lead to communication breakdowns / scenes / arguments that are entirely his fault, because you&#8217;re mentally out of his league.</p>
<p>There are two reasons for this&#8230; Getting On&#8230; and Socialization.</p>
<p>Guys will basically develop themselves, game-wise, to be able to function at the lowest possible level which allows them to have sex with women they&#8217;re attracted to.</p>
<p>Now&#8230; Depending on the type of chicks they like, that might not be much mental development at all. :D  If he likes to <a href="http://billcammack.com/2007/06/07/no-sitting-on-couches/">sit on couches after 2am</a> hoping that a chick is drunk enough at that point to give him some, no questions asked&#8230; If that works for him, he&#8217;s not going to develop his game past there.  If a guy just has a look that women like, and he can pull different chicks every day&#8230; He&#8217;s not going to put any effort into mental development.  If a guy has gimmicks and tricks that work every time, or chicks like his Porsche or whatever, again, no development.</p>
<p>So then he meets you, and you consider yourself sophisticated and intelligent.  He wants to get on with you too, except alcohol, his looks, his gimmicks and his car aren&#8217;t making it happen for him. :)  This means he actually has to TALK to you.  This is how we end up in the scenario I started with.  This guy who really has nothing to say to you and doesn&#8217;t care what you have to say either is at a loss for tactics so all he can do is stall until he can figure out the winning play.  This is why guys get defensive or try to talk over you or leave a conversation when you&#8217;re winning it.  They didn&#8217;t want to talk to you in the first place, MUCH LESS lose an argument to some chick! :D  Also, if they kept talking, it was going to become obvious to you that you&#8217;re smarter than they are, and then the jig is up!</p>
<p>Socialization, or lack thereof, with intelligent and/or classy women is also a major factor in how a guy&#8217;s going to be able to interact with you in a dating scenario.  It&#8217;s very easy for guys to dress up in suits and put on shiny shoes and pay for tables in the right bars.  All you need for that is MONEY.  What they can&#8217;t buy is CLASS.  Class is achieved through fraternization and socialization with classy people.  When someone does something that you admire, you may absorb that trait and carry it with you, going forward.  Similarly, the only way to learn how to carry yourself around classy women is to BE AROUND classy women.  It&#8217;s on-the-job training.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not all guys get the opportunity to have extensive amounts of genuine authentic interaction with women of high calibre.  This makes sense, because the top women are striving to spend time with the top men.  This creates, basically, an &#8216;underclass&#8217; of men who can dress themselves appropriately and have the right jobs and acquaintances and houses and bank accounts&#8230;. but they don&#8217;t have the slightest clue about how to interact with a woman who carries herself regally and exudes an air of respectability.</p>
<p>So here you are&#8230; wondering why your boyfriend (or at least a potential suitor) says and does such STUPID things, when the reason is that you&#8217;re BETTER THAN HIM and your man is quite literally a fish out of water in your presence.  So, Stop thinking about what YOU&#8217;RE doing wrong or what you&#8217;re doing to bring about this situation, and consider that your man just MIGHT NOT be mentally and/or socially equipped to step his game up to the level you request, expect and demand.</p>
