Manhattan's most prodigious daygamers have devoted tens of thousands of hours of combined research to identify these …

Game Brotherhood: Meet Wingmen in NYC

I've been in Game communities for years, from blog comment sections, to Good Looking Loser, to RooshV, to the Facebook groups and fragmented Telegram communities of the more modern era. Through these experiences, I've learned what works and doesn't work (usually the latter, as the level communication among most Game groups is unbelievably low). For …
