What's the difference between a "normal" conversion, and one that's initiated by a day gamer? Probably less than you think. I"d argue that they're really the same thing, at least from the man's perspective, and really only differ by degree, not by kind. It's scary to approach a woman you find attractive and strike up a conversation. The day gamer is doing deliberately and consciously what the normal guy is also doing, just haphazardly and subconsciously. Ladies, these "accidental" meetings and encounters often aren't as random as you might think! 😉
Perhaps I’ve had many nice conversations with guys who were day gaming and I didn’t even notice. These men would be best in class, yeah? Organic, interesting chats based on the situation and the person who is in front of them.
But the guys who I *notice* are doing it are, well, noticeably doing it if you get what I mean.
If you’re using the exact same line on 20 women in a row… I can kind of tell now. And it doesn’t feel like a great starting point.
By all means follow the more romantic path of typing up a 100 word summary plus pic and posting it on a few internet dating sites like all the kids do these days. But I'm calling BS on this story; the author is a bit "thick" for being hit on as often as she claims.
"To love a person — even in the earliest of stages — you must first accept that they could hurt you. You can’t escape that exquisite vulnerability. But who would want to? All good gambles come with risks. You just have to be brave enough to roll the dice."
Have you ever approached anyone and risked that rejection?
Hu, you know what? I never appreciated that my disingenuous, numbers game of engagement might actually not be a welcomed thing while you are minding your own business enjoying your sunny day … I’m going to try to be better. Thank you So much 🙏
Best question to ask yourself is why men think they need to go this route to have women notice them.
Or why normal conversations aren't going to work.
Absolutely a question I’m interested in. Modern dating kinda sucks for everyone.

I think this is a great point.

You notice when men look like they're talking to a woman for the first time, and vice versa.
The only issue I have with day game and that kind of thing is not progressing and leveling up.
But he's taking action to do something at least.
The Supreme Dark Lord himself has noticed (and quoted) you today:

Oh my God this is so, so good. Thank you for telling me, I would have been utterly bewildered about where all these people have come from otherwise.
What a gift to bring in 2025.

Oh wait - I think you were calling me fat? Hahaha. How embarrassing. Maybe I am thick.
But, yeah. I don’t take it as a compliment, you know? It’s a numbers game.
I love this.
Well who knows? Perhaps I am as thick as cottage cheese. But to be fair to the day gamers they’re not handing out IQ tests before they approach me.
But maybe they should….?
You appear to have drawn the baleful gaze of the Dark Lord.
Truly, I have been blessed on the first day of the new year.
Can’t say you lot are my usual audience… but I also can’t say I have much of an audience… so hey!

Dead sober in the cold hard light of day? Aaaaabsolutely not. Honestly, I have no idea how Jonathan does it.
Because he has to.
Man talks to woman. A windy substack post results.
This was a fucking great read. And I am also thrilled to now ask any man who interacts with me if he’s Day Gaming. Even if I approach him first.
Haha! Nice!
I SO want to be sitting on a bench in a park on a sunny day and be approached by a woman asking me if I'm Day Gaming.
How should I respond?
That's Game 101! It's a s#!t test. Agree and amplify. "Why yes of course, I am indeed day gaming. Can I talk you into being my wingman?"
