Pretty good read over at Chateau Heartiste from late last week. For the newer guys who just joined from EMSK, who may be wondering what you could easily change about your interactions with females, this is a pretty easy one: stop handing out so many damn compliments.

Pretty women know they're pretty. They've been getting told that every day by desperate men/boys since the first day of the eighth grade. By doing the same thing, you are behaving just like every thirsty beta simp who's been trying to get into her cutoff daisy dukes for the last decade. Make no mistake, she still loves the validation, that shit NEVER gets old for women. But she's not going to be fucking you.

But this article takes it even a step FORWARD. Let's say you do land a solid 8 or 9. And let's say you snag her into a pretty solid plate or LTR situation, where she's just enthralled with the idea of your dick doing things to her that would make her mother cry if she ever saw the video. Great. But all of a sudden, you start telling her how pretty she is, how good her ass looks, how nice her eyes are, etc, etc....

Read on and enjoy. (h/t CH, obviously).

Don’t Flatter A Woman If You Want Her To Stay Pretty

June 26, 2014 by CH

If you waste ten minutes of your life scanning relationship or dating advice from female columnists, one theme you’ll often read is the belief that compliments and flattery are the way to a woman’s heart. Naturally, as it goes with 99% of the “””wisdom””” of your feminist elders, this advice is a crock. Any man who has interacted with live women in anything other than a submissive capacity will quickly learn from experience the self-defeating consequences of attempting to court women with compliments.

Reader Joe Sixpack forwards an example of the awful advice you’ll ingest from Hivemind drones, and of the glimmering shards of Realtalk that are beginning to pierce the veil of vapidity,

A Game element leaks out, of all places, a Yahoo! message board comment:

This was regarding an article that said, “Here’s a wakeup call for you: Women spend an average of 55 minutes getting ready every morning — frittering away the equivalent of 6.4 hours a week, or 335 hours a year, on looks alone, a new survey finds. ”

There is a good way to reduce these numbers. Men, tell your woman that she is pretty. I once dated a guy who told me on a regular basis how pretty I was, how much he loved my eyes, how I was the smartest girl he had ever dated, ect. Who cares if he didn’t mean all of it, it made me feel good. I started wearing a little less makeup and found simpler ways to do my hair just so I could get over to his house early before work. He still said the same things. Sadly the whole thing started to go downhill after his daughter called me mom. Now I’m married to a man who never tells me I’m pretty, smart, ect. I put on loads of makeup and wear revealing clothing around him all the time just to get his attention with no success. I have decided to use up my makeup and only replace the ones I really care for. Maybe he will notice when I’m no longer trying to dress like the playboy playmates he claims he wants.

So, the one beta guy tells her how hot/smart/etc. she is all the time. The result? She turns frumpy and obviously is no longer with him.

She is now married to a man who never tells her such things. The result? She puts on “loads of make up and wear revealing clothing around him all the time just to get his attention” and dresses “like the playboy playmates he claims he wants”.

You can sometimes pry nuggets of truth from women, but it requires a facility with comprehending subtext. Women will drop clues revealing their true feelings stuffed between over-sized cushions of egoistic pabulum.

Do you want to persuade your girlfriend or wife to keep up her looks? (And if you’re a non-gay man with T readings above 0.1 ng, you will.) Then keep her on her toes.

Maxim #101: Compliments breed complacency. Critique breeds conciliation. A woman will never work as hard for a man’s approval as when his approval is most elusive.
