Recall the CH extended definition of Game:
Applied charisma, i.e. psychological mastery over human perception.
This broader definition is important, because it clarifies to the lay reader the applicability to game to human interactions and pursuits other than those involving romantic gratification. For instance, notice the commonality between Poon Commandment V…
V. Adhere to the golden ratio
Give your woman 2/3 of everything she gives you. For every three calls or texts, give her two back. Three declarations of love earn two in return. Three gifts; two nights out. Give her two displays of affection and stop until she has answered with three more. When she speaks, you reply with fewer words. When she emotes, you emote less. The idea behind the golden ratio is twofold — it establishes your greater value by making her chase you, and it demonstrates that you have the self-restraint to avoid getting swept up in her personal dramas. Refraining from reciprocating everything she does for you in equal measure instills in her the proper attitude of belief in your higher status. In her deepest loins it is what she truly wants.
…and the advice in this article to emulate the email habits of successful businessmen:
Want to get ahead? Emulate the super-successful and never send a long email. […]
“For various reasons, short emails are more associated with people at the top of the food chain. If you also send short emails it puts you in the company of the decision-makers,” said Will Schwalbe, co-author with David Shipley of Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better. Short emails, he said, are “much more respectful of everyone’s time.” […]
Writing short emails shows confidence in what you have to say.
It also shows high status. As in matters of the female heart, the person who invests less is admired/loved more. Replying with a shorter email than the one you receive will influence the perception of the person with whom you are communicating to presume your status as relatively higher than his or her own. This is because people instinctively infer, justifiably or not, that the lower investment party is less interested in seeking approval, and indifference to the approval of others is one signal of high value, particularly for men whose fitness — reproductive or otherwise — is determined in large measure by non-physical attributes.
Perception control is the energy source of game. It’s why overconfident men succeed with women just as they do in the world of business.
High status businessmen, like players who seem to have a supernatural pull over women, don’t get mired in long-winded transactions and deliberations with their customers/clients/love interests. They command respect and awe, and inspire curiosity, by holding back when others have an expectation or a desire for more, and by maintaining an emotional and social circumspection that entices estimation and affection.
The above advice may be applied badly. Example later.

RE: ROOF FRAMING
[PROJECT] – [CITY], [STATE]
It has come to my attention that the roof framing for the referenced structure is being stick-framed. The structural design is based on use of pre-engineered, plant fabricated wood roof trusses. The stick-framed system is not acceptable and must be removed and replaced with the pre-engineered
wood truss system as specified in the structural plans.
Referencing the wood roof truss notes on Sheet S 1.0: The trusses shall be designed by an engineer licensed in the State of Arkansas and Be stamped and signed by the engineer. Design and details shall include specifying all truss hangers and hold[-]down devices
Truss shop drawings shall be submitted for review and approval prior to fabrication.

The above example from three days ago could be even shorter, however; such a letter, even shorter, still fails for some very fundamental reasons.
1. The letter assumes absolute authority which the writer lacks. In this specific case, I received a phone call from his client one day after he wrote the letter. It is likely that this bonehead will be replaced by me.
2. The letter lacks active voice. Remove passive voice from all your business correspondence. Do not say, “The present given by you to me was great,” when you can say, “The present you gave me was great,” or, “You gave me a great present!” Own everything you write unless legal constraints interfere, such as “Company A offers Company B services for $$$…” In the above example, “It has come to my attention that…” should be replaced with, “So-and-so told me…”
3. Present yourself as the authority for any statement, or name another authority if that’s the real power governing everybody. In our example, “The stick-framed system is not acceptable…” should be “I will not accept the stick-framed system…”
4. ALWAYS provide an opportunity for negotiation unless you mean to terminate a business AND PERSONAL relationship. the example letter should have begun with a sentence like this: “So-and-so told me [the contractor] is stick-framing the roof. I specified plant-fabricated wood trusses. Call me so we can fix this.”
Enough of my example.
CH’s advice is generally alright with the following caveats.
1. Know your place. If you’re the boss, be the boss. If not, adjust accordingly.
2. Know when you’ll walk away from a client/vendor/employee/employer. Adjust so you walk away, not the message recipient.
3. Sometimes you “graduate” from one client to another; in the meantime, don’t sacrifice income for stupid email rules.
4. If you’re paid for advice, balance the fine line between saying little and condescension. Jobs thought he owned “-Pad” as a trademark. His rotting corpse can kiss my @ss-Pad.
5. Do not be afraid to demonstrate vastly superior competence even if it takes several paragraphs. I wrote a long email to a stupid – but concise – idiot. When I met him later, he was explaining and I was listening.
6. Know the time horizon of your audience. Be terse with short-timers. Even Bezos “?” is too much verbiage for some.
7. Writing is for CYA. Use your phone for conversations. If somebody avoids conversations, do not respond to their correspondence; correspondence generates “gotchas.”
7-a. If you’re female and not bag-on-the-head ugly, this goes double for you. Men like the company of women, and email doesn’t provide that.
Finally [yeah, I know, whatever], information technology is the “big thing” these days, so we all tend to look to those guys, living and dead, for good examples. We shouldn’t. Such men sell vapor, while many of us still work with reality. The Bay Area is chock-full of socially inept nerds clicking away at keyboards with one social pronouncement after another. CH does a great job identifying these fools for us and detailing their foolishness, but they’re not the best examples for living.
Your small-town plumber ain’t worried about email. He wants to know you can pay for labor and materials. All the rest is bullshit. On the personal side, he gets laid by his old-lady when he’s interested. Other women are bullshit. Ask him about his hobbies and his family. Be prepared to discuss fishing and hunting. Damn-straight have your own true stories to share: you’re talking to a man that annually shoots mammals to death and guts them warm.

Not sure I understand about authority. The contract between you and me says x, you did not do x and did y instead, I write you to say I caught you and I want you to do x as agreed.
There’s an implied threat that if you don’t do it, I may sue you in civil court.
If a judge gives a judgment that you must do “specific performance” i.e. do x as written, then the judge has authority over the contract, and if you don’t follow his judgment, then more shit can happen to you. But until it goes to court, there is no authority, only a contract which contains the threat, often stated explicitly, that if one party does not perform, they can be hauled into court.
As Zombie says, this looks like most of the business correspondence I’ve seen.
If you say “call me to negotiate” then you’ll get a wishy washy response and furthermore, you might not have fulfilled the prerequesites for going to court. There’s often a legal requirement that you try to notify the other party outside of court before you can win a judgment in court.

Above all, show that you are in control. In control of your desires, above fears and worries. You don’t spend time pining for a girl or mulling over things in the past. If you do tell a girl about some trouble you are dealing with, or something negative in your past, your attitude should be that it’s nothing you can’t handle.
Yes, this applies to business as well, and all walks of life. But accomplishing this attitude isn’t always easy.

One addendum: you also get this casual, confident, positive attitude easier by being constantly active.

Even if you are living with a daily routine that seems never changing, you can do small changes to make sure you are never stuck. This way you avoid a feeling of lethargy and stay prepared for opportunities in the future. I see many people who just won’t try anymore, because after months or years of doing the same thing over and over they lose the courage to try. Don’t be that guy. Even changing small things in your routines, in your home, in what you do outside the home, will help. Then you can move on to bigger change. You get moving and stop sweating the small stuff.

And then The Frankfurt School uses its uniform monopoly on all mass-media broadcasts and edumakashunal pronouncements to blame the collapse on its enemies.
And its uniform monopoly on the judiciary [now that it has turned the sodomite plant, John Roberts, to its side] to roadblock any possible legislative remedy.

Since “they” would not let him teach a class called “White Supremacy 101”, He called it something like “Socio-Economic and Political Policies of European Imperial Expression and Expansion…”

While I am on the topic, responding instantly means the other person controls the timing. My general rule for cell phones is that they are to call people not to be called on.

People respect people who are busy because it means their time is at a premium, people with a lot of time on their hands not so much. Sort of a pre-selection thing.

One of the most important aspects of game & business is “assume the sale”…”let’s meet …I’m free Thursday or Friday”.
The other aspect of game that has been written about extensively that applies to business is availability cheapens the currency.
A more aloof attitude, scarcity, limited editions etc push up demand.
Then there is “pre-selection”—the whole concept behind celebrity endorsers and product placement: If George Clooney drinks Nespresso I want that too.
The whole “re-branding” and authenticity are also aspects of marketing that also apply to game.
There is also a concept in game of when you’re alpha, women will forgive transgressions—to a point.
You see this concept also applied with products like Apple where even though there were problems with one of its suppliers in China, customers didn’t get too upset because they wanted the product so badly that the problems could be seen as more distant. Whereas if a company had not been seen as having that cachet, they get raked over the coals at the slightest complaint.

> “A more aloof attitude, scarcity, limited editions etc push up demand.”
In “fake” businesses, maybe.
In real businesses, a real businessman wants to pick up the phone, speak to a native White American English speaking sales/support rep, physically [geographically] sitting in the lower 48 states [as opposed to the Philipines, Pakistan, or India], who answers the phone on the first ring, and who says either, “We are shipping the part overnight and it will be there by tomorrow morning,” or, better yet, “Our regional field engineer will be there in two hours.”
In real business, performance talks and bullshit walks.
Which, of course, has no bearing whatsoever on how to behave in fake businesses.

Other times you actually will have something worth fighting for, and you should stand your ground and fight [“negotiate”] and fight [“negotiate”] and fight [“negotiate”] until you finally get a “Yes”.
PS: Despite what The Frankfurt School said about Bill Clinton during the Monicagate fiasco, there very much is a strong correlation between private morality and public morality.
In particular, cheating on business partners and on business deals should be very much expected from the same folks who cheat on spouses and on [implicit] marriage contracts.
