The Return of the Player

June 23, 2018 by Jack North 2 Comments

What’s going on players?!

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’ve had an… extended hiatus here. More specifically, I’ve been missing in action from this site for about a year and a half.

What happened to you, Jack? Are you still in Korea? Are you even still alive? I got these questions and many more like them in my inbox every single week for the last 18 months or so.

First of all, yes I’m still alive. Yes, I’m still answering all my emails and yes, I’m still teaching guys how to be successful with Korean women. Worry not, young padawan, Papa Jack is still kicking, playing, and going strong!

A lot has changed in my life since I last wrote. Part of that has been by choice and part of it has been an inevitable change and growth as I’ve been growing older. Overall, these changes have all been a net positive for me, and for you dear reader, they will surely be a boon to you as I now have more stories and experiences to share with you as I guide you down the precarious path of pooze.

The Weirdest First Date

October 11, 2016 by Jack North Leave a Comment

Today I’m going to try something new on request from several readers. Instead of just giving advice or explaining situations, I’m telling an actual story of something that happened during my time dating around here in Korea. If I get a favorable response from these, I’ll continue telling my other stories as well. Some will be of success, some will be of failure, and some will just be of the notably weird, but all will be true and show a part of the dating life as a foreigner in Korea.

*************************

Anyone who dates around a lot is bound to have some pretty weird first date stories, and I am no stranger to bad first dates. This particular girl however even surprised me with how incredibly weird and awkward she made our first date.

This story happened back in May, when I was not drinking for a month as an experiment to see if I could still get laid completely sober. I had hooked up with an airline stewardess who lived nearby on a Tuesday night and the next morning we took my dog, Simba, out for a walk and she was heading home. A few minutes after parting ways with the stewardess, I saw a cute girl also walking a dog.

Simba, being much like me, ran up to the other one and started trying to hump it immediately. The girl and I both laughed and started talking. After about a 15 minute chat, she asked for my number (a huge signal of interest) and we parted ways, agreeing to meet up on Friday for a date.

She immediately began messaging me regularly with great enthusiasm, always a good sign. We banter back and forth for a couple of days and she seems genuinely excited about the date.

Now before I get to the date, let me tell you a little about the girl. She’s 22, very cute but not sexy, exactly the style I normally go for. Probably a 6-8 on most guys’ scales, depending on how much you like the cute factor. She speaks minimal to no English, so we’re communicating entirely in Korean. Because of these factors, I can immediately rule her out as being a Foreigner Lover. She tells me that she doesn’t drink at all, so she’s not an Attention Whore or an Alcoholic, and she just recently broke up with her first and only boyfriend so she’s likely not a Slut. I narrow down that she’s probably a mix between a Prude and a Friend. [Read more…] about The Weirdest First Date

The Player’s Experiment

May 26, 2016 by Jack North 1 Comment

After nearly a decade in Korea dealing with the women here, I like to foolishly think that I know enough about them to answer almost any question regarding game. This illusion was quickly shattered a couple of months ago when a reader asked me a question that truly stumped me. The embarrassing thing was that it wasn’t a question of specific techniques or venues, not even a silly NAWALT exception that would need to be explained. It was much simpler than that, and it was a question that any reasonable person with as much experience as me should be able to answer.

It was a question that hit directly at a huge personal fault of mine and made me realize how limited my experiences have been because of it.

The Question

“I don’t drink alcohol so how can I game women and get laid without drinking?” [Read more…] about The Player’s Experiment

Never Back Down – Always Play to Win

April 29, 2016 by Jack North 1 Comment

Since the articles I write on here tend to generate quite a bit of hate and self-righteous indignation from the angry folks who stumble across them, I wasn’t surprised when my article about staying in Korea got some angry responses. What really surprised me was the source of the hate – it came almost exclusively from my family.

A few hours after posting it, I got a message from my father saying that I should think about taking down the article because it might ‘hurt some feelings’ among people back home. I laughed at him and explained that doing so would actually be antithetical to the whole premise of the article. Going your own way and living life on your own terms was the whole point, and capitulating to such silliness would be the most hypocritical act possible.

How to Avoid the Friend Zone

April 11, 2016 by Jack North 3 Comments

One of the worst possible fates for a man is to wind up in the dreaded friend zone. Everyone knows what that means – a girl wants to ‘hang out’ with you but doesn’t want anything more than that. She wants you to buy her dinner and drinks while she vents about problems with her family, friends, and the guy who is actually getting to fuck her.

That guy is not you.

Essentially she is using you as an emotional tampon. And being stuck in the friend zone really is as gross as that sounds.

This terrible tragedy befalls many would-be players every year, and unfortunately it is a reality that everybody has to deal with at one time or another.

I myself recently had a brush with The F-Zone. It was an especially dangerous run in because in this case the girl was particularly hot. Every man knows that the hotter a girl is, the harder it is to say no to her.

hot crazy matrix — She was dangerously high on the matrix.

Allow me to explain how I managed to avoid the friend zone with this cutie. [Read more…] about How to Avoid the Friend Zone
