I've been feeling good about Game so far this year, but I also feel like there's been a lack of intensity and focus. I've been taking the experiences as they come, but I also don't feel like there's been too much challenge to learn from. Part of the problem is that my biggest knowledge gap …

As I locked my bike up to go out today, I was thinking: I haven't had an instadate in a while... My wish came true, but not in a way I'll remember fondly. Ended up having one of the best Herald Square days of my life, and Squilliam joined me for the final stretch. We …

Yesterday I saw a girl pop out of the subway at Herald Square wearing a baggy neon blue fleece, tight blue jeans, multicolor Nike Dunks, a septum piercing, and African-style earrings.

But they've become a crutch. I've noticed lately that I've been losing out on sets where the girl is kind of bitchy. I try …

I was gaming with Lean and approached a 2-set right as they were leaving the park. One whitewashed Boricua, one lightskin Bajan. They stopped, hooked, and I brought him into set per my How to Open 2-Sets With a Wing article. They were two friends originally from California that go to different colleges here. One …

Date with 19yo African college student I approached her over two weeks ago. We texted while I was out of town and then set this up for tonight. She was an international student with an accent and my read on her texting was that she was conservative, also due to her culture (Muslim). I surmised …
