Daygame is a “game.” There is nothing wrong with saying hi to a woman or a man you find attractive. When the motivations behind the “hello” are driven by stats, sexual exploits, or techniques to get a girl, the whole program becomes suspect. I coach men and women in dating and honest relationship-building ideas. Daygame is not something I would recommend. It is interesting why Jaime, mentioned in this article, has killed his blog and his Twitter account. Maybe it’s time to good him a bit. Use the way-back-machine to see his nefarious “lay list.”

Men need to be even more careful not to game women (or men, if that’s their preferred relationship partner) when casually talking to them on the street. In a bar, I suppose all bets are off. But when this “game” is taken to the streets, it’s not just the bad apples, it’s the entire program that coaches men in the wrong direction. If you see a woman in Whole Foods Market that looks attractive, it’s okay just to admire her. You don’t have to approach her. You don’t have to give her any messages about her desirability or ask her about her availability. We need to have more respect for each other’s boundaries. Daygame is a making play out of crashing boundaries in the quest for scores and “close rates.”
