Saying that the poster has a serious personality disorder is just over the top.

Give it a rest, "game" just means having an interpersonal dynamic that makes conversations and relationships more fun and engaging. It doesn't mean changing who you are, and it doesn't mean that everything you do is for women.

If a guy gets in shape and makes himself more fun and interesting to save his marriage, that's a bad thing?

That is not what the linked page describes. Here is one example:

> Just the other night, I called her to let her know I was coming home so she could time dinner to be ready when I got home.

I was dead tired from my martial arts training that day (I was doing full contact kickboxing training, very rigorous)…and I stopped at my friends house at around 5:00pm to drop something off that I had borrowed from them and have a quick drink before heading home.

After one drink, I lay down on my friend’s couch for a moment…and the next thing I know, it’s 2:30am in the morning.

I drove home, and got into bed. I thought she was asleep…but she promptly said in a real bitchy tone “Where you having fun tonight?!?!”

I simply said “I fell asleep on _____’s couch. I’m tired, good night, dear.”

And promptly rolled over and went to sleep. I don’t even remember what she said to me in response.

If you call someone (wife, partner, friend) and tell them you are on your way home at 5:00 PM knowing that they will begin cooking dinner and don't show up until 2:30 AM then not apologizing doesn't make you "alpha", it makes you a shit head.


Gaming doesnt have to mean you do everything for women. It's his language that suggests he's only motivated to improve himself because he isn't good enough for his wife/women in general.

Someone else already explained why "gaming" sounds like code for being an ass.
