Because just on this blog alone, there have been me, greenfieldnews, Jacqueline, bonysony, and Jennifer Meredith who have said they are virgins — who knows if they are all good girls, but I think you have a pretty good shot with this group & with the girls who are reading this blog in general.

Probably most men who get into game, are in it to find a good girlfriend or wife. These are not the men who are most successful in game and definitely not the ones who write the blogs.
The proportion of good men to good women is far greater than 1 in American cities. So I feel that advising these guys to either switch to a pump and dump strategy or to look abroad for wives is a better strategy.

I think Vincent is correct here. A lot of us learned “game principles” for that exact reason, to find a good girlfriend or wife. The advice we got of “be yourself” had clearly failed, for various reasons, so we decided to learn from those who had success (in my case my younger cad brother). While the game principles helped me date a lot (once I actually applied them), my goal wasn’t just to bang as many women as possible…heck, I was relatively chaste during that time, and not because of lack of opportunity. Once I married, the more “visible” results of Game (dating lots of women) became the more muted “LTR” game, which isn’t as flashy.
So us “Light Side” Game practitioners abound. We just tend to not be as flashy about it.
As for Vincent’s comment about the proportion of good men to good women, I might have disagreed with him a decade back, but my time in the SMP really opened my eyes. Maybe it’s not as true in smaller cities, but in the large metro areas I’ve lived in or traveled frequently to (Boston,NYC,various ones of Texas, Nor-Cal, So-Cal), it definitely seemed to be true…
