A Bastard Game Supplemental:

I realized today that I left something out of my Bastard Game articles (One/Two).  The following falls under the guidelines outlined in Part Two, to be used as as a discretionary Tactic.

On Lying:

Lying exists in a touchy moral gray area.  Depending on the circumstance and severity, there are arguments to be made for the Pros and Cons of lying.  No moral ambiguity exists when it comes to Game because it is a Con.

Bastard Game is a little different in this respect – it isn’t intended to be a put-on at all.  You don’t plug in a series of behaviors and hope for a result.  Instead, you cultivate a series of behaviors for the sake of aesthetics.  In this case, the aesthetic is the “swaggering alpha male” who will just as soon turn women away as unzip his fly for them.

Why would he want to do this?  Because he can.

Sometimes breaking hearts is more fun than winning them.

The philosopher Immanuel Kant was a firm opponent of lies.  He believed that for an action to be morally credible, it had to be universalizable; that is, it must follow the Categorical Imperative.

Put in plain English, the Categorical Imperative is a moral obligation to behave in a manner that is logically consistent.  Game has nothing to do with behaving in a logical manner.  Game is about manipulating people, and most people (especially women) don’t run on logic.

People are emotional creatures.  If you can manipulate their emotions you can manipulate their sex drive.  Say the right things – and avoid saying the wrong things – and you have a much better chance of getting your dick wet.

Lie Your Ass Off:

Lying can be a crucial component in Bastard Game (BG).  In the early phases of BG, when you are gaining her interest and demonstrating yours (A1-A2), the last thing you want to do is give her any real information about yourself.

If you’re running BG you aren’t looking for a relationship, you’re looking for a couch to pass out on because you spent your money on whiskey.  Spraying her with semen is a bonus, not a requisite.

Lying is important for several reasons:

1) Women are crazy.  You’re trying to knock over some strange ass.  No matter what you think you can read on the first night, you’re probably wrong.  Women are adept at being complicated.  They’re going to conceal things from you.  Women can hide things through 30 years of marriage, don’t feel pressured to figure them out in twenty minutes.

Why is this important?  If she’s lying (and she IS lying) then it makes no difference if you’re lying.  Furthermore, you don’t want to tell some lying bitch intimate details like your name.  You don’t want to find out she’s dating a cop after she blows you in your car and takes down your plate number.

2) Lying is the Neg that keeps on giving.  A woman might not know she is being negged when you tell her a lie that is easy to believe (i.e. a fake name).  However, if you decide to fill her in on the lie later, letting her behind the curtain to see “the real you” (preferably another lie), then you’ll have negged her by showing her that she wasn’t important enough for you to tell her the truth in the first place.

3) Lying keeps them guessing.  Feeding a woman a never ending line of dubious information keeps her insecure.  Insecure women feel the need to justify themselves and seek approval from you, rather than the other way around.

By dubious information, I mean truthful seeming lies (My name is [a lie]) mixed with complete fucking non-sense.  Explain, with a straight face, that you repair turbo encabulators.  Bullshit is better than any canned routine.  Any nonsense you make up on the spot will come off more natural than any routine you’ve a) not practiced enough or b) practiced too much.
