In my book the Art of Social Natural, I talked about how a social natural is an efficient social calibrator, meaning he has lots of social experiences under his belt and with those experiences, make him an extremely efficient socializer, almost like he has a sixth-sense for social dynamic interaction to perceive other people’s emotions without them ever revealing it and be able to predict and know and have the right thing to say at the right time.

That is how you get to natural game.

Complete natural game is when you are unconscious of what you are doing, but to get there you have to have some sorts of structural blueprint to know how to get there and do, to be an unconscious natural.

For most people coming from an inexperienced place of not knowing what to do in social situation like approaching and talking to girls, routines are guidelines to social calibration. They provide you a practical idea of the frame to work with, without it, you will just be all over the place (social miscalibration).

Almost all the top pickup artists who are natural now, had some form of structures to help them finally get there in the first place (like Mystery, etc.)

Social calibration is not something you can be good at overnight. It takes a lot of practice, even if you get good at a certain aspect of it, doesn’t mean you will be good at another.

What I mean by this is you might start picking up women effortlessly at a bar but for a night club, you will have to fine-tune and tweak your social calibration a bit.

I know lots of guys who exceptionally good with picking up women in a bar, but they wouldn’t dare go into a night club because the whole game changes and their pickup skills in that environment are not perfectly calibrated yet, even if the skill sets seem the same.

Think of it like putting a piece of puzzles together, even if the side shapes look the same, the sizes and edge can’t be bigger or smaller for them to perfectly fit.

Just the same as some people will only do "day game" because they are better calibrated in their skill sets of picking up women during the day but avoid picking up women at night because their social calibration levels are completely different.

Now take somebody, for example, who has been working with a large corporation for a very long time will have almost perfect social calibration skills and developed almost like a sixth-sense because they know the culture, environment, atmosphere, people, etc; but take them to a night club, and then see how they do with people.

Mastering social calibration is like adapting.

Test and experiment and see the world as your giant social laboratory.
