Preface
Krauser made major contributions to Daygame, both in theory and in fostering the community itself. A true pioneer and giant of our cult (if you want to call it that). We wouldn’t be here without him, and this is an indisputable fact.
However, in your progression as Daygamer you should eventually cut ties and see him for who he truly is: a human, not an idol. Because to prosper, you must eventually cut off from all influences.
There is an effect that such strong personalities have that they warp people in their view of morality and lifestyle. Such a thing is documented in John Bodi’s books (albeit pathologically).
I personally had some struggle disassociating from Krauser, endlessly comparing stats and achievements. At times, even applying part of his Game where it was not the best idea to do so, just for the thrill of emulation and competition (dick size contest in pure English).
This article will provide criticism, but only insofar as you can free yourself from the gravity of their personalities. It is not meant as demonization or an end-all, be-all critique. So bear this in mind.
Krauser
Krauser was the person who had the most influence on me personally. I never gravitated to other PUAs, and from context, our personalities were a natural match, hence a tailored mentor for my journey.
In particular, his books, Daygame Mastery, Daygame Infinite and the first memoir – Balls Deep – should be mandatory reading for every Daygamer, if not PUA in general. Well, then let’s get into it.
He started incredibly Beta
This is all over Balls Deep and parts of other memoirs. Of course, such influence has dissolved by the time we reach Daygame Mastery in 2014. The main culprits are as follows:
- Slow dates.
- Taking too much pleasure in intermediate results (nudes, kisses, dates, etc.) that are not sex.
- And worst of all: developing long game.
All these points are exaggerated in the Black girl he was chasing in Balls Deep. Which makes a nice story, but at the end of the day is an exercise in tail chasing.
Now, being Beta is not a sin, we all start like that, but emulating or taking parts of his journey is bad when you are not in that spot yourself. His tactic of intermediate results works well for keeping engaged with the art of Daygame until mastery, but for you, the student, disassociate the points that are there for authenticity and narrative from the actual good theoretical points.
Most of his early escapades are just nice stories aimed at highlighting personal development.
He lived in a different world
The thing that people missed is that the world of 2010-2015 (or the pre-first Trump era, where Zog had not amplified his attacks) was not a slightly different epoch; they were a different planet entirely.
Back then, there were no dating apps, the Gender war was more moderate, people were way more outgoing and open (destroyed since Covid entirely), immigration hadn’t flattened everything yet, and people were generally more positive.
In particular, in terms of SMP we can summarize it in the following graph:
Obesity rates by counties
If we include overweights, most countries have increased fatty rates by about 10-20% in the last 15 years. Just consider how much value this adds to thin pussy in terms of market price. Nowadays, just being thin is probably the only requirement to being a 7. Imagine wanting to consider proportions or other metrics.
In short, the sociological and physiological conditions were much better than the craphole we live in now. You simply cannot compare your conditions now with his back then. In particular, and worst of all, Gen Z right now ranges from moderately to fully retarded (depending on where you live). All the vitality and lust for life has left these empty bodies. At its worst, you have this. Most of the adventures he describes in his books don’t exist right now. I am sorry. This type of girl just doesn’t exist right now.
The narratives are constructed
If you are reading his memoirs, then the narratives are constructed. No harm in literary perspective; we all much appreciate a better book, but the comparison is unfair. His books roughly follow this:
- Up to banging a 10/10 (book 1)
- Inner game growth (book 2)
- Mad adventure year (book 3)
- Peak game and publishing career (book 4)
But these narratives have been inserted post fact. The same is true for the hero’s journey that Bodi even admits to.
Living that life was probably hellish and directionless more often than not. And this is not discussed; a backbone of direction is inserted via sleight of hand in the memoirs. This wasn’t the case in the real story.
Krauser even admits it at the end of the first memoir: he was far more unhappy than happy for the first two years. And any happiness he got afterwards was not from becoming good at Game; it was from mental introspection.
The results are rigged
He has a post somewhere that all PUA results are peaks, while the reality on the ground is mostly failure with rare glimpses of success. Infields are inevitably cherry-picked.
Same is true for statistics and his statistics in particular. I am not sure he clarifies it anywhere, but when he claims lays in his Daygame stats, that is all the lays he got in that year, not the Daygame-only lays.
A clear example is here from 2015:
He admits at least one of those was a tinder lay
In particular, his results are lifestyle optimized, take this account from 2013 stats:
The difference from 1/50 to 1/20 is massive, as there is an efficiency claim of more than 150% improvement. Go to London with the same skill set as him, and you will feel like a goose in comparison.
I will stress this again. Nothing wrong with Krauser; he did the best he could given his circumstances. If you make unfair comparisons between yourself and him, that is on you, not him.
Stop following post 2015
Read his story past memoir 5, and you will see pure madness. I refer to his 2015 stats account (or memoir 5). Eurojoints of as low as 3 days. Alternating between UK and Europe over 2-week intervals.
- Makes nice stories: check ✓
- Is pure madness that you should not try to emulate: also check ✓
All the theoretical straight line of improvement (hero’s journey) falls apart here. Six years of PUA lifestyle, and the result was aimless wandering? That is not linear progress, or progress at all, depending on how you count.
He even touched on such dangers in Daygame Infinite. But madness is madness, literary value aside.
He associates with Brooding Sea
“Show me your friend, and I will tell you who you are”
- Do I know Brooding Sea? No.
- Can I attest of his skills? Also No.
- Do I believe him? No.
In short, if you want to make such hard claims of results, quality, and everything you can get from life, you should have evidence to back it up.
Brooding Sea has no such evidence, so bullshitter alarm goes ringing. The only thing he has to market himself is elitism and his association with Krauser.
He might be the big thing; I don’t know. But from what he posses online, he is probably not, and hence Krauser associating with him should ring some alarms about his character as well.
