Lots of guys are asking about Dread and I thought we needed a thread to drop the known links on this tactic.

If you don't know, "Dread" is a tactic you can use in a low sex marriage based on the concept of Secondary Sexual Selection. In short, women are enormously attracted to men who are approved by other women. PUA's even claim that "every single thing in women related to attraction are cues that you are fucking other women." Think about it!

Confidence: Hmm, how does a man get confidence with women?

Smooth approach: Check.

So "Dread" is the SLIGHT feeling in the back of a woman's mind that "her" man might be able to pull younger, prettier, more desirable women. If you are generating actual fear you are not doing it right. Fear does not turn on the tingles. The nagging fear in the back of the mind that maybe, just maybe you are not in total control is almost always enough "Dread."

The first- and in my ever so humble opinion the best place- is my post on the 12 Levels of Dread.

No doubt I have missed many links to discussions about this on the manosphere. Please throw them out there and I will add them to OP.
