'''Game''' is intentional social signaling of real or manufactured non-physical personal qualities for the purposes of [[courtship]].  
'''Game''' is a kind of [[courtship]] behavior in which the man displays [[charisma]], [[confidence]], [[beauty|smoothness]] and related aspects of [[personality]] the way courtship is often depicted in films. This is not to be confused with [[negging]] which is a more aggressive and manipulative kind of [[PUA]] technique.


Most lookism theorists and many [[blackpill|blackpillers]] believe romantic success is mostly determined by one's looks. Some believe that game only works for good looking men. I.e. they believe good looking people are allowed to express themselves more than ugly people, and hence develop a more compelling demeanor.

Indeed, multiple studies indicate that out of diverse measures of physical and personality traits, including extroversion, gregariousness and intelligence, only physical attractiveness predicts initial romantic interest and strongly so, meaning game is probably largely ineffective in one-on-one dating settings like blind or online dating.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Looks_are_most_important_to_women_in_blind_dating</ref> However, game may be useful in other mating settings as it amounts to criteria important for social status. Someone who is smooth, eloquent and witty will be more popular, i.e will achieve higher [[dominance hierarchy|social status]] and hence get access to reproductive opportunities.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men.27s_social_status_accounts_for_62.25_of_the_variance_of_copulation_opportunities</ref>
Multiple studies suggest out of diverse measures of physical and personality traits, including extroversion, gregariousness and intelligence, only physical attractiveness predicts initial romantic interest and strongly so. This suggests game is ineffective in face-to-face dating settings like blind dating or online dating.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Looks_are_most_important_to_women_in_blind_dating</ref> Confidence and charisma possibly rather only work as means of gaining [[dominance hierarchy|status]], intimidating other males in [[intrasexual competition]] and thereby allowing men to gain access to women.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men.27s_social_status_accounts_for_62.25_of_the_variance_of_copulation_opportunities</ref>

Phonaesthetics is the study of beauty of sounds of words or parts of words.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonaesthetics</ref>
Elegant, fancy words like ''luminescence'' are more attractive than words like ''guttural''. A study done in 1995 by David Crystal, determined what type of words sound attractive.
* Words with three or more syllables (e.g., goss·a·mer and mel·o·dy)
* Stress on the first syllable e.g., góssamer (GO-ssamer) and mélody (ME-lody)
* /l/ is the most common consonant phoneme, followed by /m, s, n, k, t, d/, then a huge drop-off before others consonants (e.g., luminous contains the first four)
* Short vowels (e.g., the schwa, followed in order by the vowels in bid, bed, and bad) are favored over long vowels and diphthongs (e.g., as in bide, bode, bowed)


Three or more manners of articulation (with approximant consonants the most common, followed by stop consonants, and so on)
A perfect example word, according to these findings, is tremulous. Crystal also suggests the invented words ramelon /ˈræməlɒn/ and drematol /ˈdrɛmətɒl/, which he notes are similar to the types of names often employed in the marketing of pharmaceutical drugs.<ref>http://www.davidcrystal.com/?fileid=-4009</ref>
A quick and easy way to improve ones attractiveness is to start using an attractively named alias. For example, the name Lucien Labellous is automatically perceived as attractive, high class, and royal of European descent. Same for a name of Middlle Eastern descent, such as Aramar Jadavra. Or a name of African descent like Zomar Kovaku. Or finally, a name of Asian descent like Minkkhanadori Sensisimoor.

A couple studies suggested that signaling ability to play the guitar seemed to be particularly attractive to women in the 2010s.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0305735613482025</ref><ref>https://lebs.hbesj.org/index.php/lebs/article/view/66</ref> This may still be true today.  Heavy metal and rock music were correlated with more positive female evaluations of men than classical or avant-garde music.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00995420</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563213002641</ref>

A study done in 20011 showed that armpit odor pleasantness was the single attribute that consistently predicted attractiveness of nonverbal behavior.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-011-9803-8</ref> In laymen's terms the better smelling the mans armpits the more attractive, his gait, as well as any other nonverbal movement, and armpit smell is the most important factor of nonverbal attractiveness, probably by [[halo effect]]. One study found [[fashion|pine]] is an objectively, generally attractive smell.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.2466/pms.100.1.135-141</ref> 3 studies found [[Pretty Boy|the smell of flowers]] to be sexually attractive to women.<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224545.2012.683463</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224545.2012.683463</ref>
