Nice post. Ironically, my "problem" is the exact opposite of inner game. I have my shit together internally pretty much, but the external game is where I lack. I'm an awesome product, but I'm currently just not selling it well enough.
Like just this morning, I was walking down an escalator and locked eyes with a cutie who maintained steady EC with me. Immediate attraction. Did I stop to say hi? Nope. Just kept walking. I was thinking about something else at the time, so I wasn't mentally prepared to engage. Failed the Just Say Something test.
I sometimes wonder if it would be good to pair up for pick up with a guy who has the exact opposite problem, i.e. great outer game, but weaker inner game. That way we could cross-learn.
Gringoed,
I have to sort of disagree with #4. One of my big problems, and it is a problem, is that I'm by nature a very generous person. Most people are incredibly selfish, and if you do something for them, they will just assume they were entitled to it in the first place.
