Still, let us say that I am entering a club, in which I would like to pick up an attractive woman. A reading of The Game will tell me that I must believe myself to be the most attractive, interesting, desirable man in the room.
Sorry, but I have extensive knowledge of the seduction community and this assertion is wrong, even though it may be written in “The Game”. Btw, can you quote where exactly it is written?
Mystery one of the greatest teachers in the community has coined the phrase: “Competence over confidence”. The key is to have a skillset not develop some conceited self-image. Of course it may be helpful to project this image of self-confidence outwards but it is not a problem if you know that you are just playing a role. After all, it’s called the game for a reason.

But that’s just his personal road to confidence, and one that’s suitable for people who need to believe that they’re skilled in order to feel confident—as opposed to people who prefer “natural” or “inner game” schools. What kind of competence is being displayed by the use of random openings like, “I like salad”? What kind of competence is a natural—who’s never heard of Mystery’s A1 and C3 and such—displaying?
(Btw, I agree that MBlume needn’t consider himself the most attractive, etc. man in the room.)

Mea Culpa—I should’ve know better than to round to the nearest stereotype.
