Often times when giving advice to new guys just starting out, the general mantra is, "Be confident, have abundance, increase SMV, don't be needy". The first and most important of these by far is minimizing neediness.

There are so many times in the past where i've fucked things up being needy. At first the girl was interested and excited to hang out, then due to the fact that I was constantly hitting her up and inviting her out, that excitement and attraction faded INSTANTLY.

Oneitis and abundance mentality aside, there's a reason that RSDTyler has said "The best thing to do when you find a girl you really like is to find five others."; the dynamic in a relationship (guys and girls) entirely revolves around value and investment.

By texting those girls, and further by inviting them to hang out on the weekends instead of letting them initiate first, I demonstrated that I was overly invested in them and they lost interest. On the flipside, if I went out and spread my time and attention among other girls, the scarcity of my attention and investment becomes more apparent and thus the attraction continues and increases.

Needy things you do and need to cut out ASAP:

  • CONSISTENTLY texting her first.

Don't bullshit yourself--girls have their phone on them and are using them literally 24/7. If you've initiated first in the past and have went out before, then leave the initiating to them. If a girl is interested she can and will text first. By hitting her up first all the time you're showing that you're way too invested. If you absolutely have to text her first (you don't), leave at least two weeks between contact minimum.

  • Getting mad when she flakes or doesn't want to be with you

She doesn't want to come out tonight? WHO FUCKING CARES?? Doesn't matter if she was your only option, your reaction should be "Alright have a good night!" and go out yourself or with someone else. A girl or (guy) is and should simply be a positive addition to your life, not the sole component in whether or not you can go out and do things.

Conclusion: Build yourself into something other people can invest in and be reluctant to invest in others. Be a fucking man and realize that the only person you need to focus on is yourself.

And on this line of thinking it's just as important to remember that the MOST important key to being attractive is NOT doing unattractive things. Doesn't matter how literally attractive you are if you keep doing UNATTRACTIVE things. ALL your upside can be wiped clean with one downside.

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (82 children) | Copy

Dude, no kidding.

How does someone identify what they're doing that's unattractive?

Over the last 10 or so years I've realized how many issues I've had that need to be worked on and I've been all over the place and have gotten about the same lack of success:

  • Down to 200 lbs from 265 at my worst.
  • Started dressing/grooming better.
  • Quit playing video games religiously.
  • Started down a career path in IT that paid well, but it fueled the depression so I abandoned it.
  • Been aloof about my intentions.
  • Been honest and upfront about my intentions.
  • When I wanted short, sexual relationships, I looked for women who signaled that.
  • When I wanted relationships, I looked for women looking for relationships.
  • I've tried to be more honest and expressive with my emotions, to being more stoic and withholding them.

It seems like I was doing better at 20 than I am approaching 30.

[–]Senior Endorsed Contributormax_peenor104 points105 points  (9 children) | Copy

Been aloof about my intentions.

No no no. Be direct with your intentions. You can't close without showing desire. Be aloof with your commitment. You want it! But you can take it or leave it.

I looked for women who signaled that.

AWALT. The problem here is you are trying to find unicorns instead of shaping your battlefield. Want and pursue short, sexual relationships with ALL women you find attractive. Quickly and politely move on from those that don't respond. They owe you nothing. You owe them nothing.

[–]PreOrgasmGroanLness13 points14 points  (2 children) | Copy

This. My issue is I don't recognize neediness before it's too late. There's a lot of posts on how you shouldn't be needy, but there are very few examples on what is needy behaviour or texts. For example it seems to me as if all my Tinder texts are needy. I have no idea how to do it differently and no idea what am I doing wrong

[–]RedwallAllratuRatbar2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy

If you are being needy, you feel this. If you think hard what to tell, in order not to "lose" her, you are being needy. On the other hand, everyone is needy, just successful people have enough plates to satisfy this hunger

[–]Toker952 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy

How are you worse when you're older. Something went wrong somewhere

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy

Agreed. Still figuring it out. I did plan to become a Marine when I was 21/22, which I don't think was a bad path to take, but I never completely committed to it or signed the contract. Living with my mom for as long as I did around that time didn't help. Even though she was supportive, it wasn't what I needed in my life.

I think I realized something was wrong and went to focus on the wrong things to fix.

It's like troubleshooting a problem with a car. You think you know the problem but don't properly diagnose the issue, you start replacing parts that aren't causing the problem, yet your car still has trouble starting. Eventually you get to the point where there are many quality components to the car and yet the original issue is still getting worse.

Eventually you find the problem and everything clicks, starts running smoothly and you start rapidly accelerating.

[–]Eulerbrah1 point2 points  (56 children) | Copy

what's with "quit video games" bullshit that is being thrown around???

[–]OhhDatDogOMine43 points44 points  (3 children) | Copy

He said "Quit playing video games religiously." Meaning he was addicted.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (2 children) | Copy

wouldn't say I was addicted, but I have sunk a ridiculous amount of time into call of duty and battlefield. Yet that's probably what an addict would say.

I just realized one day that games stopped being fun.

[–]truedemocracy316 points17 points  (15 children) | Copy

It's a zero-add activity. Feel free to play video games - but recognize it for what it is.

[–]TheTruthHelps1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

Personally I use video games to stay in touch with a few of my friends that I only see during summer and winter breaks. It's probably twice a month that I'll sit down for 3 hours to catch up with the gang.

[–]truedemocracy30 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

nah man it's totally worth it in that regard. Especially as you grow up and live in different cities. I love games, I just only use it after long days of productivity to unwind

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (12 children) | Copy

Training for your reaction time and brain overall, improving decision making, improving social skills and a good way to reduce stress?

[–]truedemocracy330 points31 points  (5 children) | Copy

Rationalization and bullshit is all the above is. Reduce stress, sure. That's why I said in moderation.

[–]NitricTV4 points5 points  (2 children) | Copy

It does improve reaction time but that’s only twitch shooters really

[–]sd4c6 points7 points  (1 child) | Copy

No it doesn't. Generalized Reaction time is a factor of IQ, gender, health, and stress. That's why good race car drivers, pro boxers, and pro video game players are almost all young men, and will always smoke their older, future selves. IQ, and health, decline with age.

[–]NitricTV-2 points-1 points  (0 children) | Copy

It can be maintained via video games

[–]DisciplineOverDrive1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

Reduces stress, sure.

Even that is hardly true anymore. I think the sooner young men find alternative hobbies the better. It's not that you can't be a baller if you play video games but latching onto them is showing lack of abundance, in my opinion. It's more of a placeholder until you find more interesting, rewarding, and beneficial shit to be doing with your free time.

[–]truedemocracy32 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy

Yea exactly man. You cant possibly rationalize it as a beneficial hobby. That doesnt mean get rid of video games or stop playing them if you enjoy them. But dont act like you are building your reflex skills or social skills because you talk to 15 year olds online while playing them. It's a zero add activity. Which again, is fine, similar to watching Netflix for hours which the average millennial does anyway.

But if you want to be exceptional then cut it out as a hobby and use that time for something else. I'll play games every now and then, but if I log on the Xbox and play 2-3 hours I feel like an idiot after because of that time sink.

[–]juliusstreicher6 points7 points  (1 child) | Copy

Damn! Who needs to work, lift, or go to school! All anybody ever needs is some Video Games!

[–]Azhf0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

I know this is a month old comment now, but I have time enough to go to school, lift, got a part-time job, and still find time for other hobbies, browsing the internet (mostly when I'm waiting for stuff), but most relevantly plenty of time to game with buds.

[–]sd4c5 points6 points  (2 children) | Copy

Yeah that would be judo, jiujitsu, or wrestling. Not videogames.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy

There are countless of studies which prove these effects by playing videogames.

[–]sd4c1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

No, dude. That improves reaction time IN THAT GAME, or pretty similar games. Generalized knowledge, is mostly a myth.

Otherwise SFV pros, would be unstoppable strikers, in real life.

They ain't.

[–]sd4c8 points9 points  (0 children) | Copy

Make life your video game. We've got character customization, different language packs, fighting styles, tons of really cool weapons, and vehicles that would blow your mind.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (33 children) | Copy

Simply put, a man playing video games is not sexually attractive to a woman. You can play them, you can play them all you want, just don't do them in front of your woman.

A woman watching a man play video games is like a man watching a woman eating big macs. It's that repulsive. It's how the sexual dynamics work. And I love playing video games.

[–]truedemocracy38 points9 points  (0 children) | Copy

This is true. Not only is it 'not sexually attractive', but it is actually UNATTRACTIVE to women (where if you mention it as a hobby they will be repulsed).

Even if I'm playing video games I wont tell a chick I'm gaming.

[–]BaronIncognito8 points9 points  (8 children) | Copy

It depends. I know a guy who plays video games in front of his wife all the time, always has. But is a VP at his company and makes mid six figures and come from a very wealthy family. If your SMV is high enough, you can do whatever you want. In addition to being rich he is tall, athletic and extremely personable.

In the flip side if you are teetering in the edge of whether a woman thinks you are high enough value to commit to, your video gaming could be exactly the thing for her to justify ditching you.

All this assumes it is not a girl gamer. Obviously with them, your gaming will have different effects on SMV. It all depends on context.

[–]Eulerbrah14 points15 points  (6 children) | Copy

this is bullshit. honestly. be tall, handsome, make six-figure ..etc so that "your girl" won't mind? fuck what she wants. be a fuckin man and do whatever the fuck you want.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children) | Copy

be tall, handsome, make six-figure ..etc so that "your girl" won't mind?

Yep, that's his beta brain talking. We all have one and that tries to talk to us sometimes.

[–]BaronIncognito0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

Educate me then. What did I say that was "beta"?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children) | Copy

"Tall, handsome, making six figure" are all secondary traits. Succumbing to SOMEONE ELSE's secondary traits is a beta attitude. Note - I'm not insulting you, trust me I've been there. I know beta has bad connotation but to be more "alpha" we have to have awareness on what we say/do are "beta". My 2 cents.

[–]BaronIncognito2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy

I didn't take it as an insult, I was genuinely curious and I appreciate the discussion. In this case though, it's his wife that is succumbing to his traits, no? He may have beta bux, but he is pretty alpha. I was just arguing that his extremely high SMV gives him more leeway to engage in unattractive behaviors (video gaming) than a guy that is a borderline 6 and barely making ends meet. A lot chicks would hang on to my friend for dear life even if he was playing WoW 6 hours a day. The second guy will get kicked to curb and/or cheated on in a heartbeat and her girlfriends will tell her she made the right choice because he was always playing video games. Again, context is king.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I'm sure there are nfl players who play video games, and have plenty of women throwing themselves at them.

The point is, if you are here, learning red pill, you aren't one of those guys.

[–]ambientwhisper12317 points18 points  (20 children) | Copy

With respect this is bullshit. Not taking into account the fact that your time would be much better spent elsewhere, if you're passionate about something you should express it and put it out into the world.

It doesnt matter what you like doing with your time, as long as you own it and dont care what people think about it women will respond favourably to it. Stamp collecting, video games, being one of those weird guys that walk along beaches with a metal detector, it doesn't matter. Women are emotional creatures and will sense and appreciate your passion.

[–]truedemocracy334 points35 points  (13 children) | Copy

Nope. Passion is attractive, but only if there are social or monetary gains from it. Building a game app to be sold on the app store? That's attractive. Opening a video game arcade bar? That's attractive.

Playing Xbox for 5 hours even if it's your passion? Not attractive. Absolutely unattractive.

[–]Vulgar_Wanderer 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy

on the flipside, not playing video games even if you enjoy them because you want to impress women with all your 'interesting' hobbies goes against the core principles of TRP.

If you're significantly cutting down on or completely quitting video games, it should be because you want to spend that time doing things that will help you to improve as a person, not because you want to impress others.

[–]truedemocracy38 points9 points  (0 children) | Copy

This is the ultimate chicken and egg part of TRP though. However, I agree that you should live for yourself.

[–]ambientwhisper1238 points9 points  (4 children) | Copy

I disagree completely, whatever your passion is, own it and women will appreciate it. If your passion is playing games and you hide it from women because you think it makes you more attractive you're missing the whole point of this thing. You're just adding more imaginary barriers and excuses between yourself and the women you want to be with.

'I cant do what im passionate about because she wont like me waaahhh' - This is pussy think, its pathetic. You're letting someone else's frame dictate yours.

'I'm passionate about this and I dont care what anyone else thinks of it' - Is an attitude that women will respect and be attracted to.

You're looking at things too literally because you're a man. In your mind, of course flying planes is more interesting than playing games but remember, women are emotional creatures. The fact that you're passionate about something is more important than what you're passionate about. It allows them to feel that emotional high from you, they're drawn to emotion and attracted to guys that can make them feel.

A woman doesn't want the perfect man, she wants the man thats perfectly fine with himself...but being tall, good looking and rich helps a lot.

[–]BaronIncognito1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

So if your passion is fucking anime pillows women will be cool with it as long as you’re passionate about it and maintain frame? Of course they won’t be. Many women view video games almost as bad. Is it fair? Nope. Just the way it is. Again, though, if you’re value is high enough they will tolerate it, or if your value is super high they might even make themselves get into it too. It’s all about context.

[–]truedemocracy37 points8 points  (2 children) | Copy

The Red Pill is about revealing the truth behind gender dynamics, that doesn't mean you have to be a slave to it. Fact is women respond to things such as being in shape, social proof, wealth, adventure, etc. If you want women, work on those things (and no that isn't 'breaking frame', though you should do it for yourself primarily but this sub wouldn't exist if that was solely the case). If you don't care about maximizing your SMV/RMV and are content in some areas that is fine too, just realize it is a trade off you have to take. Almost no one engages in SMV positive behavior 100% of the time.

TRP is about RECOGNIZING how the game is structured. It is up to you on HOW to play it. And in no way is being passionate about video games a positive. The best hobbies in terms of social validation (men, women, family, whatever) should do one of three things: Improve your body, improve your mind, improve your financial standing, improve your social standing. Some hobbies/passions even do multiple of these at once.

Video games does none of them. It's the same as saying you're passionate about Netflix, or passionate about Reddit. Play games all you want and DONT FEEL BAD ABOUT IT but don't rationalize it as something a woman will be interested in because you are passionate. That's bullshit.

[–]ambientwhisper123-1 points0 points  (1 child) | Copy

I dont think you're understanding what I'm saying brother. You're not seeing this from a woman's perspective and you're treating this forum like a step by step walkthrough rather than a guide.

I guarantee if all other things are equal, a woman will be more attracted to a man who speaks passionately about video games than a man who speaks as if he's bored about flying planes. The emotion you give them is more important than the content. This is why you can speak complete shit to them on nights out and still have them be attracted to you. Its the delivery, the emotion. The boring, too serious club owner will be less attractive than the exciting, funny and charismatic random guy.

I'm not saying you should disregard raising your SMV as thats hugely important, I dont play games anymore for this reason. Its a very, very hard thing to accept that you have everything that you need to attract women within yourself right now, it means that the only thing holding you back from doing it is you. If you place arbitrary barriers on yourself 'Oh I cant pull until after I cut this fat' - 'I need a better job before women will be attracted to me' then you'll need those things before you can attract women.

[–]truedemocracy31 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I agree on what most of what you say, and that passion on certain interests beats being boring on others. An example of this is many people with 'high end jobs' aka investment banker that make them absolutely miserable not able to have as much success with women vs say someone who works in social media but is passionate about it.

However, video games is something where it just doesn't work. You can talk up 'cool hobbies' like surfing, rock climbing, etc. pretty easily. You can talk up 'indifferent' hobbies like reading, photography, etc.

But 'negative' hobbies like video games, anime, etc. will HURT you with almost any women of quality no matter how passionate about it (unless you happen to be alpha in every other regard, but those people are so rare it's almost not worth mentioning).

As I said earlier, you can spin 'negative hobbies' like browsing the internet, video games, etc. into a positive if you create something of value out of it. But just being someone who enjoys it will be too much to overcome unless you are stupid strong in other areas. I see where you are coming from and agree with it mostly, but believe it has limits.

[–]Nino_BrownX3 points4 points  (5 children) | Copy

Women are just jealous that video games are another thing that they can't enjoy. Plus, its another thing that takes attention away from them. But you all know this.

But if you have got a high SMV you can play all you want.

As long as you're paying the bills, groomed, lifting and hanging with friends from time to time. Theres only so many hours in the day anyway.

[–]truedemocracy34 points5 points  (4 children) | Copy

This is all true. Women hate video games because they see no benefit arising from it that can be directed to them. It basically boils down to "he is giving a machine attention, and not me". However, the lack of benefits video games provide a man should make it a hobby used only sparingly. If I engage time in a hobby I want it to either give me benefits from one of 4 areas:

Social (team sports, 'going out', bar trivia)

Physical (weightlifting, running, climbing)

Mental (reading, working on a project, podcasts, learning a language)

Monetary (side business, investing)

video games don't check any of those boxes. When I'm burnt out after a long day and have nothing going on I will fire up the Xbox, sure, but it is after everything else has been satisfied

[–]Nino_BrownX1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

It all depends on what we're talking about. Because a Chad that makes nothing but lifting and video game videos on YouTube is gonna get all the pussy.

And what you'll then see happen, is the girl is gonna get interested (or rather pretend to be) in whatever it is hes doing just to feel like she belongs in his world and gets off from trying to distract him from gamepads to boobies.

[–]truedemocracy30 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Making video game videos is still making something, compared to just playing video games. You tell someone (guy or girl) that you play video games as a passion they will scoff. You say you have a YouTube channel, X number of subscribers, advertising deals with Y, met celebrity Z because of it and all of a sudden they are drawn in.

Though I agree with you that if you have a naturally good looking guy who puts the gym and diet effort to get shredded but also loves video games and plays hours a day he wont have trouble getting laid and women will be drawn in. But that is because the other aspects are so strong, and not because of his video game passion.

Its aalllll frame my man.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

That kind of proves my point. If I excel at a physical sport, I will have women interested in me, without saying a word. The act itself is physically attractive.

The act of playing a video game? You are absolutely right, you need frame to counterbalance it.

[–]Brickles091 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

That's true, and that happens because they see it as a childish thing, it doesn't matter what the game is, they always see it as a 'toy'.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Depends on the game.

I actually secured a date with a woman because we enjoyed Overwatch together. We got to bond and shoot the shit in a more meaningful way than OkCupid. (Which just ruined their own app by making it next to impossible to talk to women, even HB5s, now.)

How did you start your IT career path? I've been heavily wanting to pursue this path...?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

I went to school for computer science, dropped out because I didn't want to do programming, couldn't find work, started a $9/hr job doing data entry and calls for our door to door sales reps while I lived with my mom for a couple years. When I left my mom's I started working for temp agencies who had technical jobs and grinded through those for a year or two until I found a temp to hire one that started at $12/hr doing VOIP support. I was at that job and learned any and all skills I could, including networking. Left there at about $16 an hour after three years for a better opportunity with a more local client base where I ended up making about $52k a year, which isn't a lot, but considering what I was doing and where I lived it was easy to live off of. Certifications like CCNA/CCIE will get you farther quicker, but you're going to start off making less money than you'll be happy with. I was mentally/emotionally drained and had no willpower for a large part of my career, making me decide to leave it behind and try something else. I knew people that loved it but it wasn't for me.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Good for you for leaving something that's causing you to be mentally drained. I had a contract last year they paid me $100 an hour, but it was useless and it was soul draining so after a couple of months I left it and took my career to a whole new different direction... makes a lot less money but more fulfilling.

How did the IT path fuel your depression?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

Cubicle death.

Man was not meant to sit behind a desk without a view past a couple feet for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, running your brain like it's an engine needing an oil change. Maybe for some people the work itself is fuel for them to keep going. Some people I know there love what they're doing because it gives them a means to provide for their family and gives their lives meaning. I'm a single guy who at the time didn't have many options or outlets for sexual relationships.

Basically I realized I was good at something, but that something wasn't good for me. Just because I'm good at drinking whiskey doesn't mean I should keep doing it.

[–]Dudedontbedumb0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Question. Ok so video games are not attractive because there is no monitery or social gain. What about activities like Snowboarding, Mountain Biking or Climbing?

Yup. Avoiding unattractive behavior is enough to put you above the average man, because the average man constantly exhibits unattractive behavior.

You're welcome. Needy and dependant are the top 'unattractives' for both genders. If you act like you 'need' the other as opposed to 'wanting', it's a red flag. Controlling, passive/aggressive and manipulative are right around the corner.

[–]sappy020 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

And what would be examples of those downsides?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy

Being needy; not saying 'No'; deferring to her wants more often than yours; being always avail to talk/text/meet; no eye contact; weak posture; no guy friends; waiting for her to initiate/lead; one-itis; regulary cleaning, polishing and raising her 'pedestal'.

[–]sappy020 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

Thanks for this. I certainly am guilty of doing a few of those, sometimes at the same time. What about the attractive things?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Attractive is simply the opposite of the above. Again, that's why I say being attractive is mostly NOT doing unattractive things. The basic grooming and cleanliness is all you can do above what you've genetically been given. Maximize what you have been given. Then don't 'negate' those by doing 'unattractive' things/behaviours. You can catch her eye with looking 'nice' and walking with confidence and using eye contact. But then when talking to her (presuming you use that confidence to go talk to her) you undermine that initial attraction by averting your eyes, deferring to her perspective, letting her run the conversation, not initiating touch, complaining about 'other women/ex's, etc.

[–]SigmundRoidd92 points93 points  (2 children) | Copy

Have a long term goal and drive and all the neediness will go away.

All the side effects of being driven and working towards long and short term goals are you what define a lot of redpill truths. Doesn't even need to be anything grand. We as men are built to test ideas, and our own limits. We are programmed to hunt; and modern day hunting is just that.

You won't be texting her incessantly because you are busy with life; your life that you've created and building upon.

A lot of BP guys that I've seen are also losers in life. They work mediocre jobs, play video games, and eat junk food daily. No shit a pretty girl is going to intimidate them, drive up their anxiety, cause them to be needy, and cause them to overprice the product. That's the scariest and most intimidating thing in their sad lives.

[–]TruthSeekaaaaa25 points26 points  (1 child) | Copy

One of the best trick I use regarding texting is to save the girl's number somewhere (like a peace of paper, a txt file etc) and then delete the number from my phone. This counter the urge to text her

For oneitis you need to force yourself to keep AWALT at the forefront of your mind - it's hard to be specific because we don't know what it is about this oneitis that's making you become dependent and losing frame. Is it because she's presenting a challenge?

[–]_MysticFox 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy

I have an awful crush on this girl because she has the most green flags I've ever seen on one.

[–]vast_rightwing 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy

They always do when you first meet them. Once you know her for a while you'll realize many of those green flags weren't actualy green flags. You're measuring her against what you now know about other women despite not knowing her well enough to accept that she's like the rest, just better at hiding it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I think you hit the nail on the head - she's much younger (legal), very pretty but in a unique way, and different nationality (she's really into the latin culture). Anyway-- Here's an update since I last posted: after two weeks of dicking around talking to her on Facebook once in a while, I finally got the balls to ask her out last night at 8:30pm. Just get it over with and move on. Then...no response. I've been around the game enough that with women if they like you no matter how "busy" they are they'll make time for you. After I had sent it, walked around wishing, DARING her to say "no" so I can use that as log to add into my fire. Got pretty hyped last night, watched the RSD video linked here, did some mental prioritizing of what I want to do today and about to hit the gym actually. As I predicted she said no (it was a nice but clear way to say no) but at this point I don't care anymore.

Another observation: our dualities: It's funny how we have dualities. With the crush, I was like a puppy dog trying to cross the street for the first time - hesitant, scared, deliberate. Then last night texted with a plate of mine that really sees me as a man, our attraction is quite primal like two animals in heat and nothing more, and with her I automatically feel like the lead tiger in the jungle. Saying all these nasty things I'd do to her without hesitation and she eats it up. I felt like a puppy and a tiger in the same day. Funny.

[–]slimydogs14 points15 points  (0 children) | Copy

All women have the capacity to cheat on you and be sluts. Most women have fucked and sucked a few dicks already - if she hasn't there's usually something weird going on in that head anyway. Women's inherent nature is to be hypergamous - this is true for EVERY woman. She will be that loyal, top tier wife until you lose frame and fuck up. Then she will jump branches or abuse her new position in power. She may not even mean to do it. But that's simply how women are.

[–]Senior Endorsed Contributormax_peenor14 points15 points  (6 children) | Copy

Yup. I trace back to the moment where my marriage went to shit and it when I failed a test in a spectacular fashion. She used to hound me about how I didn't need her. Eventually I got tired of it and literally started fabricating reasons why I needed her.

MISTAKE!

Always do the complete opposite of what they want. They’re like dogs chasing cars. They wouldn’t know what to do if they caught one.

You know, that's a good point. They will chase you like no tomorrow, but if they get you, it's completely up to you to take control of the situation. Or they will just chase another car.

[–]metallicdrama2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy

Exactly. You have to keep them chasing. As soon as the chase is over, no matter how long it has been, it’s new car time. This is why marriages fail. This is why LTRs fail. But we have to also be chaseable.

[–]Senior Endorsed Contributormax_peenor4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy

The only complication is that the same journey that brought me here is the same journey that left me not wanting a wife. She has often insisted that if I dumped her or something otherwise separated us, I would just find someone else to marry. I kept telling her that I would never get married again. She kept insisting I was laying, I guess assuming I was trying to make her feel better. No, you twat, I really don't want a wife. Marriage is done in modern civilization. I want nothing to do with it.

She's lucky she is good with the kids.

A workable plan is to have 3 plates. This is how you view them:

One coming in. One going out. One in the middle.

Plates do not last. They come and go. The harder you try to hold them, the easier they slip from your grasp.

Their order can change with any event by her, or any whim of your own. You may keep spinning a middle plate for months, while the other two are changing out with new women constantly.

For example, Crazy can be fun once in a while if you are careful, but she will usually go from incoming to outgoing rather quickly.

You spend time with each of them about once a week to 10 days. This gives you 3 dates a week with 3 different women; but you only see each one woman once per week, or less often.

This method helps reduce oneitis a lot. An Excel spreadsheet can help with logistics, pregnancy control, and to make sure you do not see one too often.

Getting mad when she flakes or doesn't want to be with you She doesn't want to come out tonight? WHO FUCKING CARES?? Doesn't matter if she was your only option, your reaction should be "Alright have a good night!"

Disagree. Next this disrespectful bitch. Life is too short to be placing you energies in women who are only half interested. It's not on and by validating this bad behaviour you are only going to get it time and time again. Don't be a second choice. Be first choice or no choice - and use the energy of no choice to find those plates where you're first choice.

[–]becoolstaynschool[S] 16 points17 points  (2 children) | Copy

Sooner or later you’ll realize that in this day and age companionship is easy and low-effort to get (especially for young hotties) and as a result girls will place a low level of commitment on going out with one specific person. I recently watched a documentary about Tinder and one of the girls in that doc—no more than a 5/10 at best—literally had four or five OTHER dates set, same time and everything, outside of the one she intentionally planned with guy number 1.

If you ask a girl out and she flat out says “Haha I would but I’m hanging with (insert other guy or girls’ name here)” or she just blows you off then I absolutely agree, hard next. However, sometimes it just doesn’t work out for other reasons and you simply have to shrug it off in a non-needy way.

Recently I asked a girl if she wanted to join me going bar hopping. She told me her sisters were in town that night so she couldn’t come unless they AND her friends came too. “Nah, was just wanting us to go. Have a good night” and then she thanked me for the invite anyways.

Next weekend she hit me up and we went bar hopping alone without the sex n the city gang cockblocking us.

Agreed, if she blatantly disrespects you or doesn’t show any effort to make things work, next her without a second thought. Sometimes you have to realize though that the logistics of it doesn’t always work out and (OMG) she has tons of familiar guy (orbiters) gaming her who she’ll always prioritize over you

[–]leotard-princess5 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy

Next weekend she hit me up

There's the rub. If she genuinely has social complications - I'd argue that's not flaking - trying to make it up is a world of difference to just flaking and then giving you the slow fade.

[–]Caspero444 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy

yeah I botched one of these recently so bad it should be in high school freshman text books. asked her if she wants to go out next weekend. She says "yes". Then I get swamped by obligations tell her that its 50/50. I tell her I can make it after all. She says "already has plans". I react. Apologize. But its too late to salvage. Women don't change their minds once they write you off.

They do, it just takes very long period of time with no activity(years) and a large change in your demeanor. You have to reset their stereotype of you instantly upon re meeting or you will fall right back into it in her mind though.

Thanks for this posting. We all have faced that neediness is the killer #1 for girls.

However, I think neediness is one of these nice guy behavior/traits. Thus: The underlying result of being not able to escalate and scared of rejection.

I’m particularly interested WHY this is the case for most men these days? I am also interested about any research that has been done (psychology).

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy

Because society has been trying to teach boys growing up that being needy is what women want. "Your wife is your best friend", ie you can talk about anything with her. Is just one example.

School boys, when standing up to a bully in school, get in just as much trouble as the bully. Another example.

"Men don't talk about their feelings"...becomes "where have the real men gone?"

Now we have a bunch of confused men AND women who are sexually frustrated, and they don't know why. But we do, thanks to a little red pill knowledge. Of course there will always be jackwagons taking things to the extreme.

Honestly, maybe my SMV isn't that high but I've NEVER had a girl initiate first. It is just my experience. Even when I went after 3s, 4s, 5s they wouldn't. Not saying it doesn't happen but I've always been under the impression you need to initiate because girls won't.

TRP has taught me to think that I am the boss. To never get attached to no woman. When I got some girl's number earlier this year, I did start texting her first (not everyday) whenever we talked. Sometimes she wouldn't reply but I always thought, if she fucks off, then she fucks off. If she's interested then maybe she'll hit me up first.

So I got busy with life and didn't text her for about 3 weeks. After those 3 weeks she does text first and even tells me that I forgot about her. I just said I was busy but didn't apologize(apologize for what).

About that texting first thing, I don't know if that'll always be true. Maybe some girls really want you to talk to you but want you to text first (as in my case)? But I do agree with the texting everyday part. Fuck that

Even for someone who is seasoned if you are focusing on one girl this can be hard to improve. This is why abundance is so important.

The last (almost) relationship I was in I totally ruined by being needy. She liked me, i don’t doubt that. She bailed on me a few times and the last time I calmly told her off. We talked it out and hung out a couple more times but i soon after got friend zoned. I was too invested, too needy. It’s an important lesson I won’t soon forget.

[–]Endorsed Contributormonsieurhire20 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Eh, unfortunately, if a girl is chasing you, there maybe something very wrong with her, as I've found out on several occasions. Initiating is NOT chasing. Chasing is repeated initiations after repeated signals of lack of interest. She doesn't reply to your text? Stop thinking about her for awhile and move on to someone else. Try again in a few months if at all. There are billions of girls on the planet; don't fixate on one. Easier said than done, as most of them are fugly, reducing the interesting pool to millions, or even hundreds of thousands depending on how high your standards are.

Be a fucking man and realize that the only person you need to focus on is yourself.

That's called selfishness. It's not a virtue and doesn't lead to a good life. There are plenty of things you should also focus on, and it's not like you can have a good relationship if you don't focus to your partner as well. You just must have balance with it and keep your head cool. You can't be the one who always makes the initiative, but that doesn't mean you can never do it.

That being said, you are completely right with the rest of your comment.

I agree with not looking to desperate and not chasing her if she shows zero interest in you. However...a lot of girls just don't like to initiate contact, and they have so many options that they simply don't need to. Doesn't mean they don't like to talk to you and don't wish to be contacted by you. They're just not in love. They won't chase you. And if you refuse to text her first, you might end up missing a nice night of sex. Insisting has actually got me laid many, many times. I like to be clinical. I have a goal and i'll do whatever it takes to achieve it, even if it involves swalling my pride and contacting them first.

[–]TunedtoPerfection0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

Neediness comes from your desire to have other people solve the problems you have that you dont want to face. If you want to get over it quickly you need to face that fear head on.

[–]becoolstaynschool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Neediness because you don’t want to be alone: learn to appreciate solitude and find solidarity by having only yourself

Neediness because you are insecure and seek validation: Set goals to accomplish in order to succeed in your chosen path. Lift and realize that the only source of validation you need is that which comes from yourself

Neediness because you desire to get laid: Focus on yourself and direct that desire into constructive ways that will benefit you (lift). Then you will get laid.

[–]poochman0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Not sure if this is entirely accurate. Some of the very submissive/feminine (ie HOT) girls will never text me first but will be very receptive after I text them. They are expecting me to lead in every way so waiting for them to text me for a meetup is disingenuous.

However, the same concept applies. I don’t text or push for a meet up too much and don’t act needy. I spread my time to a few plates at once to prevent this. When I feel like fucking one I hit her up which is once or maybe twice a week at most.

How does this count in a Long distance Relationship? I know Ldr is beta itself, but I dont care for that. In an ldr it's just that you have mostly not that much contact and either my girlfriend or I get kinda needy (seems like it's always one of us, always exchanging) to be sure our relationship is still like it's used to be. I dont really want that and when I'm busy with University I feel how it gets much better but I also feel like moving emotionally away from her and she gets mad for not having much contact with her. Any tips for that?

I feel you here man. Fuck the holidays. All my hobbies and things that I do are shut down till second week of January and all my plates are gone away for Christmas. Basically all I do is work and read and try and find shit to do.

Secondly there is no such thing as an LDR imo. She is basically using you as a tampon while she fucks other guys in another state/province/country (wherever you're from). Just move on and find another girl. It isn't easy but just don't do it.



You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
