Game often takes the stance that...

• There is a winner and a loser in every match. The goal is to win, and overcome the defenses of women to win sex and validation.

BROJO's Viewpoint

In BROJO's view, many versions of "game" are unhelpful to building real, meaningful connections, and to building self-respect and self-worth. There are three key reasons;

1. Game often depends on manipulative tactics
2. The mindset behind game leans towards aggression, which is different from assertiveness.
3. The intention of game is often to win, or to get. Winning at game means getting sex and affection.

We describe a more helpful, non-manipulative as charisma.
