Lemme be real with you real quick, getting a girlfriend is kind of like beating the final boss in a game (I’m sure you have some experience). You can’t just barge into the last level without a plan and hope for the best. There’s strategy involved, my friend. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. This article is your cheat sheet to clearing the three levels of “The Girlfriend Game.” Plus, I’ll throw in six cheat codes to make the journey a little smoother.
Level One: Interest
Here’s a little secret: for women, the game doesn’t start with physical attraction. Nope, it starts with interest. You’ve got to catch her attention before she even considers being attracted to you. Think of this level as your chance to prove you’re more than just a profile picture.
Cheat Code #1: Optimize Your Dating App Profile
Your dating profile is your first impression. And let’s be real, no one swipes right on a guy whose pictures scream, “I’m trying way too hard.” You need five killer photos, in this exact order:
- The Family Man Shot: A photo of you with your parents, younger siblings, or, ideally, a cute dog. Bonus points if the dog’s wearing a little bowtie.
- The Style Photo: Show off your sense of style—a sharp suit or a well-fitted shirt on a night out.
- The Physique Shot: A casual beach or vacation pic. No gym selfies, though; you’re aiming for “effortlessly fit” not “toolbag with a protein shaker.”
- The Jealousy Photo: A pic with an attractive girl—could be your sister, best friend, whatever. It subtly says, “Hey, women like me.”
- The Hobby Photo: Show off your passions—playing guitar, hiking, or whatever makes you interesting.
Fun fact: when I uploaded my own “Family Man” pic with my niece and her puppy, my matches tripled. Moral of the story? Puppies are basically social currency.
Cheat Code #2: Master the Art of Conversation
Once you’ve snagged her interest, you’ve got to keep it. Nothing kills a vibe faster than asking generic questions like, “What do you do for work?” Instead, try this:
- If she’s traveled recently, ask: “I saw you went to Greece. Was it worth the hype?”
- If you know her job, go with: “Do you see yourself doing this long-term, or is it more of a stepping stone?”
When the talk starts dying off, always have a few quick questions prepared. “Conversation Lifesavers” is the title of the note I have on my phone. A lil smart situational joke, a few deep questions like “If you could be anywhere where would you go?” comes to the rescue.
Level Two: Attraction
Congratulations! You’ve passed Level One. Now it’s time to turn up the heat and make her physically attracted to you. Think of this level as a makeover montage—cue the “Eye of the Tiger” soundtrack.
Cheat Code #3: Focus on the Three Attraction Focal Points
- Hair: Keep it healthy and stylish. If you’re battling a receding hairline, start incorporating biotin into your diet (or take a supplement). Pro tip: A good barber is worth their weight in gold. I once got a haircut that made me look like I’d just walked out of a rom-com, and let me tell you, the compliments were nonstop.
- Skin: Clear skin signals you take care of yourself. Invest in a skincare routine and add vitamin E to your diet (or, again, supplements). Trust me, you’ll thank yourself the next time you’re in a well-lit room.
- Energy and Mood: Confidence and high energy are magnetic. Make sure you’re getting enough vitamin B6 to keep you feeling good. And remember, nothing’s more attractive than a guy who’s genuinely enjoying life.
Cheat Code #4: Get the Right Haircut
The wrong haircut can make you look like you’re auditioning for a middle school play. The right one? Total game-changer. Here’s the quick breakdown:
- Round face? Go for a high fade.
- Long face? Low fade is your friend.
- Well-balanced face? Mid fade—you can pull off almost anything.
One time, my barber talked me into a haircut that was way out of my comfort zone. I was skeptical, but by the end of the day, I had three strangers compliment me. Moral of the story? Trust your barber.
Level Three: Infatuation
This is the final boss. She’s interested, she’s attracted… now you need to make her emotionally infatuated with you.
Cheat Code #5: The Bait-and-Switch Technique
Here’s how it works:
- Don’t respond to her messages right away. Wait until the next day and apologize with a casual, “Sorry, I got busy.”
- Suggest a FaceTime call but delay it slightly.
- Plan a weekend meetup, then reschedule last minute to keep things unpredictable.
This might feel counterintuitive, but it creates intrigue. It’s like the dating version of leaving a Netflix cliffhanger.
Cheat Code #6: Understand How She Falls in Love
Here’s the thing: men and women fall in love differently. Guys fall in love quickly, women more slowly. Guys fall for what they see, women for what they hear. So:
- Be a man of your word.
- Treat others with kindness (bonus points if she sees you tip generously).
- Show emotions, but stay in control of them.
I’ll never forget the time my girlfriend told me she started falling for me because I helped a stranger carry groceries to their car. Small acts of kindness go a long way.
Ready to Win the Game?
There you have it—the three levels to getting a girlfriend and the cheat codes to breeze through them. Remember, this isn’t about tricking someone into liking you. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself so the right person can see you for who you truly are.
Now get out there and level up, champ. And don’t forget to let me know when you’ve beaten the boss—I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines.
