Always take things into account, never overreact or choke

I see it in this way: If the girl is secure, she will actually appreciate that you want to clarify things about the relationship, she loves certainty and security, that's the way she connects with others, through security. If the girl is anxious, you're in trouble, clarifying things lowers her anxiety, this stops the emotional rollercoaster which will make her feel bored, as you are not triggering her anxious attachment, she's insecure, she doesn't connect through certainty and security. If she'…

Sometimes the motivation comes from the change itself, for example a guy that lifts releases more testosterone, and this hormone increases motivation and competitiveness

The trick to handle rejection is to just take it into account, but never overreact or overthink about it, some guys have their brains wired to be oversensitive to rejection, so they need lots of active mind correction to go back to baseline state after getting rejected. Getting rejected many times and always focusing on handling it correctly, eventually rewires the brain to do this automatically, to the point where handling rejection can become effortless over time. Some guys are "naturals" or "…

Anxious attachment bro, the "but i'm fucked up" happens because the part of your brain that takes care of emotional regulation, was probably not nurtured when you were a kid, and so any feelings and emotions both positive and negative escalate to the point where they severely interfere with your thoughts and actions, this will make you feel quite bad and like you say it fucks with your life as a whole. With therapy or self-therapy you can develop self-regulation (also called self-soothing), afte…

Being secure and getting a partner with a secure attachment style ends the cycle of empty toxic relationships

When talking about something, focus on talking about how you feel or felt about it, instead of just the logical facts about it. In the same way, ask her about how does she feel about things. Logical: "this room looks spacious, it has a nice big bed" Emotional: "this room makes me feel calm and relaxed" - she gets more useful information this way

First move the conversation to intimacy topics to set the mood, and then you can ask her what does she think about these kind of pics, if she says something that can be read as positive, then you can invite her to share some of these

Stop chasing dismissive-avoidants and fearful-avoidants, and things will improve quickly. Learn to recognize secure women (women that don't flake or ghost), and become secure yourself, so that you can connect with them

This may sound crazy, but the way this girl behaved looks very green flag to me, i wouldn't have blocked her on the spot, i would have tried to know her better to see if something else can develop from there

Fearful-avoidants are complicated, they are also called "disorganized attachment", so what is up with them is always the question with people that have this attachment style. My guess is that her anxious side is being triggered when she sees you in person, that she becomes weak towards you when you are in the presence of her, if you approach and she treats you very amazingly well, this could be a confirmation that she's in anxious mode

Sounds like you have fearful-avoidant attachment style, this is quite difficult to heal, as your fears will make you resistant to therapy, increasing the chances of it failing due to not being able to connect and trust the therapist. On the positive side, being like this is 100% not your fault, it's probably the fault of your parents, inside of you there's a secure guy that has no fears, but you have to rediscover and rebuild it, it was probably only allowed to exist briefly when you were a kid,…

- She approaches you but becomes weirdly distant or resistant to connect when you try to match her energy. - She gives you no option but to put all the effort to maintain a conversation or interaction with her. - The convo is not about knowing each other, but only about her and her traumas and exes. - She displays or mentions way too many obvious insecurities

If your parents never really spoke to you growing up, then you may had no choice but to become a dismissive-avoidant, a very independent person that doesn't see any meaning in bonding with others

Catch the feeling that makes you want to pull away, and force yourself to stay. Try to associate dismissive thoughts to this feeling, something like "this is bullshit, i'm staying", imagine the feeling as a snake that you subdue and grab by the neck to show it who's in charge. When your mind want to focus on your body, force it to focus back on the interaction with the girl, you may have to do this multiple times during a conversation with a girl. This active mental process will heal you over ti…

Ask her about her preferences for touching, make it a conversation topic, tell her about the way you want to touch her and if that's is ok or not, in the same way, also tell her about your preferences to test compatibility. Consider big deviations from what she tells you as the boundaries, if after asking you get nothing useful from her, or she confronts or mocks you, consider it a red flag, a strong sign of incompatibility

If this "alter ego" is secure, then it may actually be the most real version of you, that was suppressed by your mind, probably long long time ago, maybe even when you were a baby. With enough effort you can probably find when insecure strategies like hesitating and doubting began, for some they were the most effective thing to survive bad parents when they were a kid, their insecure self is actually the "alter ego" created and internalized for too long to survive a bad upbringing,

I've found that lifting weights helps, it releases a bit of testosterone that helps to recover emotional regulation after an overload of rejections and negative responses. Having secure friends helps a lot too, reliable and dependable people that sort of "restore faith in humanity", they are like a golden reference of how a healthy person should be, they listen and can offer support

My hypothesis is that texting is a connection based more on dopamine than oxytocin, and so when the dopamine runs out, she stops being motivated to keep on texting, it fizzles out. Using texting only for planning dates doesn't exhaust her reward system and so it's more effective and sustainable. Guys that run text game may be fighting an uphill battle to keep her releasing dopamine, but at some point her receptors may downregulate and so she will feel less and less motivated to text, even if his…

There are many possible reasons, but at the end what matters is what you are doing to do about it, in my opinion the best course of action is to de-prioritize this girl and move on to more available and responsive girls.

This may sound crazy to you, but you did well, starting with small talk is excellent to gauge the level of availability of a person for a longer conversation, and these women weren't available, and so you did well by disengaging and walking away. It seems that your mind is trying to internalize what happened as a huge failure, as a bloodline ending event, as a sign that something is very wrong with you, but try to have a more moderate stance on this, so that you can recover quickly and become re…

When texting the watch is not really needed as the phone shows the time on the screen, but in dates and public settings where keeping track of time is sometimes not so easy or practical with a phone, a watch shines
/r/seduction15/02/25 04:29 PM

Apart from looks, watches are excellent to keep track of time in a practical and more subtle socially accepted way, compared to pulling out a huge smartphone, and activating the screen to check the time, which can be a big interruption to a conversation, etc. Some women are time wasters, and with a watch a guy can avoid spending hours on her and control his time in a more efficient way, he can even micromanage it if necessary

This could be anxious attachment, the rejection and mixed signals of this girl activates your attachment wounds, and so your brain creates super strong neural pathways to her (the oneitis), making it very difficult for you to be available for other girls. Basically, the way this girl behaves, is the way in which your attachment system was wired (miswired) to work. A man with a secure attachment style, has his attachment system wired in a healthy way, and so he gives priority to the women that ar…

Secure women reject in a polite and direct way, if she notices that you are secure too, she will offer you a reliable friendship, she may even be ok with finding a girl for you if you request her help. Anxious women usually reject in an "i'm not good enough for you" way, this will usually happen if you behave secure, loving and supportive with them from the get go, they don't feel like they have earned your love, and so, they can't accept it. Fearful-avoidants don't reject directly, they usually…

Fear is kinda like the alarms of a plane cockpit, it can be quite scary when they sound, but you just focus on keep flying the thing. When a "scared little boy" (insecure man) guy approaches a girl, many alarms go off inside his head, something like "warning: possible rejection", "warning: closeness", "warning: shame", "warning: amog detected", and so on, he becomes overwhelmed by so many alarms that he just decides to avoid the situation. A secure man just keeps doing his job even if there are …

Then it is an insecure attachment, dismissive-avoidant i think, because op standards just go up and up and no girl can satisfy them no matter how much effort they put for him.
/r/seduction27/01/25 11:44 PM

The secure way of handling this is to take what the girl said into account but without taking it personally or getting emotionally riddled up because of it. When going to a bar or club, try to hit conversation with someone, if no girls want to talk to you, talk with the guys, maybe you'll make a good friend there

If she's anxious, text, with minimal explanations, the more anxiety you can get out of her, the more she will attach to you. If she's avoidant, then call, she will get annoyed at it, but she can only attach to others through negative emotions. If she's secure, text or call will work, but don't play games on her, she has boundaries, she doesn't attach through negative emotions, so be polite, respectful and reliable

A trick to beat insecurities is to just do the opposite of what your subconscious is telling you to do, if you feel nervous and want to run away, just stay, recognize what's happening within you and put conscious effort on engaging with the girl. You can also apply a bit of cbt therapy in the moment, by thinking something like "ok brain i know you want me to run away, but i'll be fine, let me talk with this girl, nothing bad is going to happen, and if it does, i'l handle it"

I think that balanced commitment is the sweet spot, secure attachment, a guy that doesn't commit anxiously to the point where he sacrifices everything about himself when approaching a girl, but that also doesn't barely commit, acts fake, uses masks, or runs away like an avoidant. A guy that's present in the moment, listens and enjoys time with the girl, but that never forgets about himself in the process, when approaching he conveys a very natural amused mastery, that comes from his secure view …

"There are no other girls in our class I'm interested in" - this is bad because there could be girls that may be available and interested in you, but you are ignoring them due to your anxious attachment to this very unavailable girl

If the relationship needs "new topics" all the time to keep the spark alive, then it's an insecure attachment because a secure relationship doesn't need that, it just needs closeness and intimacy, two quiet people that are happy with each other is secure, with no fear that the relationship will fail because they are not constantly talking about new things

This is true, because if that girl wanted to go with op, she could have said something like "my parents are rlly strict and will try to get in our way, but don't worry, i'll find a way to make our date happen"

A secure woman may take this into account but she's flexible, if a guy has no social media presence is not like she's going to consider it a red flag or something. The anxious woman will be obsessed with the social media of the guy, always checking everything, if the guy stops posting, she will confront and manipulate him so that he posts more, "why are you so reserved? that's loser behavior, post more, more!!!". A hot dismissive-avoidant woman with 30,000 followers will probably consider it a h…

For guys that feel the "next time, i'll do it", learn about the cycle of fear, recognize your mind trying to apply inaction or avoidance, and then break it, the result will be a mindset where you will think something like "i feel fear, but i will approach, i'll do my best, whatever happens, i'll handle it". Most people feel fear, it's a natural emotion, but what makes a guy secure is the way he handles fear, he doesn't feed the cycle of fear, he recognizes it and breaks it, this makes his mindse…

You can confront her if you want, focus on making her clarify her singleness status, if she keeps giving mixed signals tell her that you can't keep dating her, as a boundary. Secure men confront (in respectful ways) and have practical boundaries, something like "i can't spend money, effort and time dating women that are not confirmed single and available, sorry"

It depends, if you are wearing them to hear music, there's no problem, but if you are wearing them to discourage people from talking to you, then avoidant. A secure person won't want to disconnect from the world so they would probably wear a single headphone, or headphones that easily let them hear outside sounds
/r/seduction04/01/25 09:15 PM

Two headphones - dismissive or fearful avoidant, approach not recommended, you will have a bad experience if you do that. Single headphone - safer to approach, a woman that's maybe half open to hear someone. No headphones - ideal, a better chance of being a woman open to hear others

It makes sense because secure and anxious women are already in relationships, and if they aren't, they prefer to meet their guys outside without apps, so that leaves only avoidants, women that flake and ghost due to insecurities

Saying "i like you" will be perfectly fine with a secure woman, she will even appreciate it, and reciprocate some of it even if for some reason she can't pursue a relationship with you. For an anxious woman, you will notice that she will not easily accept that you like her, she may not get turned off, but she may become weird, she will give a vibe of "why do you like me? what do you see in me? w-what is wrong with you?", she may even confront you.

When your insecure inner voice talks, respond to it by thinking something like "i hear you, but i can approach this girl, i'll be fine, trust me". Consider your insecure inner voice as a sort of imaginary friend that worries way too much about you, and then you just give it reassurance that everything will be fine, and that you can handle things, then you take the rational actions as decided by your conscious mind

Those are their preferences, and so they have to be acknowledged and respected, in that case you can disengage in a respectful way from the interaction or if you have secondary goals like making your social circle bigger, then you can offer her friendship, to see if she agrees with that. Let's say she also rejects your friendship proposal with "i want only tall guys as friends", then you will have no option but to say goodbye and move on. If during the rejection you feel very bad, you can activa…

Don't assume anything, just focus on liking yourself and on liking her, secure attachment. If she rejects you, no worries, you still like yourself, if she accepts you, great, you will treat her right because you like her as a person.

Excessively intense (lovebombing level) friendships like this don't tend to last, don't be surprised if a huge disagreement happens between them at some point, and then they separate. Try to identify who's has the anxious attachment and who has the disorganized attachment in this friendship, the latter will be the one to hit the "eject" button when a big conflict appears.

This could be a good test of her attachment style, if she's a secure woman, you will be fine, if she's anxious, she may make fun of you, but she will stay, but if she's any kind of avoidant...she will ghost you, you may notice a 180 degree change in her behavior, she will think less of you, a fearful-avoidant woman may even end up hating you

For those that have insecure attachment styles, "yourself" doesn't exist, as your parents didn't raise you in a secure attachment environment, you were not allowed to develop a healthy concept of "yourself". Anxious guys have their brains wired to reduce "yourself" to nothing, and so they consider her as "everything", like some songs "i'm nothing without you". The concept of "yourself" for fearful-avoidant guys was destroyed in between fears and emotional dysregulation, they appear as chaotic an…

Frame is restored by learning and applying emotional regulation skills, the result is that anxiety ends up replaced by acceptance and self-compassion, which will make you secure again, instead of anxious insecure.

Ideally he should foster a secure communication frame between him and you so that you can freely talk with him as needed without fears of him acting in a negative way towards you, due to overstepping unknown boundaries by accident

Try to foster a secure enviroment with them so that they can freely communicate what can you do to connect better with them. Just take into account that avoidants will strongly resist your attempts of doing this, as this will look ridiculously needy and annoying to them, or uncomfortable, like a sort of direct attack on their person. If you can handle never finding the balance with an avoidant, you can make them kinda stay with you, however these kind of women have the habit of "deactivating" ju…

If the girl has an avoidant attachment style, the balance that you want will never ever happen, you will always appear needy and too eager to them. If the girl has an anxious attachment style, you will always look standoffish to her, and whatever you do, it's just not enough. If the girl has a secure attachment style, she will communicate you her preferences and boundaries so that you can calibrate and find the balance, so that a healthy relationship or friendship can happen

Have as much relationships as you want, guys, just try to be careful to not fall prey of codependence, a damaging mindset where you lose the ability to be alone or to separate from someone because you'll feel very lonely, depressed and worthless without them. Examples of codependence: "i can't live without you", "i will never ever find someone better than you", "i can't be happy alone, i need a girl asap", and so on. As long as you keep things on the side of interdependence, you will be ok, a mi…

Hot and cold tends to be because of a disorganized attachment style, a person that has not good emotional regulation, if they feel good they behave hot, if they feel bad or insecure, they behave cold, and this constantly changes depending on triggers, hence disorganized. A secure woman has good regulation, her behavior is stable, communicative and predictable, she doesn't go hot or cold, she looks to stay in the middle

What i understood is that op feels like he's doing quite well by doing things in his own way, he wants to know if other guys in the same circumstances are doing well like he's doing, but the goal of this is unclear, my guess is that that he wants validation through others? i mean, if he already has internal validation (he feels good being himself), why does he need external validation? what difference does it make if other guys tell him that they are doing well too by being feminine?

She's an avoidant person, outright dismissed your reasonable proposal of taking it easy with no pressure, considering how quickly she detached from you, i'd say she's probably dismissive-avoidant. Dismissive-avoidants have so ridiculously extreme boundaries that anything you do looks like a mistake or offense to them, whatever you do is ammunition for them to abuse you or push you away, because of this they have the ability to reject in the most hurtful ways. But don't worry, dismissive-avoidant…

If your confidence is going down after heartbreak then yes, you were hurt and if you don't heal through therapy or self therapy, you may end up adopting an insecure attachment style like anxious or fearful avoidant, these won't allow you to approach in a relaxed secure way free of anxiety

Codependency, you used to have good approach skills, but online dating dulled them, now that you want to go back, you feel that you can't...you became dependent on online dating. Now there's a fear that you didn't had before, caused by the codependency. Completely cutting off online dating would be counterdependence, which is also not usually healthy, you lose all possible advantages of online dating, putting some women out of your reach. Interdependence would be ideal, just reducing the usage o…

Signal her that a boundary is going to appear "look, i'm feeling a bit unsure and confused about how you are behaving towards me, i'm...starting to think that it may be best for me to go". (simplify this in your preferred wording). This "soft" boundary will act as a warning to her, that she has to behave in more clearer way or else you will escalate it to a solid boundary which could be something like "ok, it's enough, girl, if you don't behave consistently, i'm gone". Some women will tell you "…

It sounds like you want a dismissive-avoidant woman, they have high self-esteem, they are hot, they know they are hot, they take care of themselves very well...but they have very low opinion of others, everybody looks super needy to them, and so, counterdependence is their default way of operation, and this is not an "initial defense", this is a permanent one, they will always treat you in a cold dismissive way. With enough insistence you may get tiny glimpses of a healthy attachment, this is ca…

A big problem of anxious attachment is the codependence that tends to come with it, because you'll find yourself doing things for the girl, which is not bad but...they will be often at the expense of yourself, you will be neglecting yourself for her, and this is terrible. The solution is interdependence, doing things for her, but never at the expense of yourself, a man that loves himself but that also loves her, real secure attachment. Avoidants go the opposite side, they are too independent, an…

Counteracting this requires an active process, when your mind wants to take rejections personally you then deploy self-therapeutic techniques to manage emotions and to bring you back to baseline emotional level again. After some time and consistent practice it may become a subconscious process, your mind will automatically do what's necessary and rejection may just end up feeling like a slight tingle at most, or not even affect you in any way, rejections will go thorough a new neural pathway whe…

"Everytime it starts to get serious with a girl i get anxious and feel i want to get out" - fearful avoidant attachment, this cycle will repeat forever unless you heal it with therapy or self-therapy. It starts to get serious - this is the "trigger" that starts the deactivation process. I get anxious - the "fearful" part, a sense of discomfort and anxiety, not feeling at ease and secure with the girl. I want to get out - the "avoidant" part, the mind decides that you have run away to ease the an…

This works with secure women, they even appreciate that you are being direct and communicative of your interest in her, in the same way she will tell you how she feels about you, she may reciprocate, or she may reject, but she won't ghost, at least not without telling you first that she will do so. Insecure women (anxious and avoidants) will feel overwhelmed/annoyed/undeserving of direct interest, and so being direct with them will make them deploy their defense mechanisms, like ghosting, avoidi…

Self-esteem by definition is the opinion that you have of yourself, if you tie that to the input of others...you're in for a rollercoaster of emotions, because people have their biases and even culture affects their perceptions and opinions. Even their insecurities shape their opinions, someone can tell you that you are ugly because may be jealous of your good looks

That would be exposure therapy, however there's the risk to worsen the fear, especially if some of the rejections are traumatic, this will increase approach anxiety even higher and may also make future rejections hit like a truck, due to the mind not getting positive feedback, compared to fears that are easier to get over it when confronted. Exposure theraphy works better where just exposure will give positive feedback, convincing the subconscious to let go of the fear, but rejection is real, an…

Dating can be enjoyable and super chill, and you can be yourself all day long...as long as it's the secure yourself, not the unhealed insecure yourself. Most game theory is basically ways and shortcuts to hide the insecure yourself, but this is not sustainable because it's a façade, you're faking, acting like an attractive guy, instead of being the attractive guy, this puts a huge tiresome mental load because like you say, it's like walking on a tight rope, and no guy can do this forever, at som…

If she's unresponsive, just put more focus on other girls. Don't block or hate unresponsive girls, always keep a door open for them. If you want to message her after some time, say something positive and that you are open to hear from her again.

That sounds like "fearful-avoidant" attachment, op, a series of insecurities that don't let you attach to women in a secure way, without fears or distrusts. This attachment is called "avoidant" because you feel a strong urge or inclination to disengage and create distance, this process is called "deactivation", when your insecurities get triggered, you will want to go away, to deactivate. This attachment style has a component of low self esteem, where you perceive yourself as creepy, and there's…

You have to keep approaching people because "community" is an emotional need, but instead of approaching with romantic intentions do so only to get friends and aquaintances. If you self-isolate because of her, you will resent her over time, due to unsatisfied community needs

In public it's very important to be discrete with intentions, to respect her privacy. Privacy is an emotional need and if a woman sees that people are noticing things about her romantic life due to you being agressive, she may feel insecure by you not respecting her privacy, and so she may decide to reject and/or ghost, as a protection mechanism

Charisma has a component of social skills, but it's also a lot about liking people, the secure attachment, you like yourself and you like people, this puts you in the sweet spot where you are not needy (because you like yourself), and also are not an avoidant (because you like people). A charismatic guy is not fake because for example if he's feeling tired or down, he's not going to hide that (because he likes himself, he acts like himself), but this doesn't mean that he's going to suddenly avoi…

You are right, but this anxiety is subconscious, not something that op can control much at will, however a good therapist can get to the root of the problem and help op, it's usually due to an unhealed insecurity that became a deep subconscious fear, leading to the anxiety and nausea before a date, op body is activating a strong fight or flight response when it shouldn't. This subconcious fear may be something that op forgot long time ago, but it's still there, programmed deep into his brain, an…

My hypothesis is that it lowers the anxiety and insecurities that comes from unfulfilled "community" needs, community is one of the nine key emotional needs, then the brain subconsciously goes "ok, you belong, you are accepted in this place, approach anxiety reduced, have fun!" Guys that like to be alone will have their approach anxiety through the roof because the brain will be in a fight or flight mode as it hasn't subconsciously recognized belonging to a wide group, a community, then they try…

I extrapolated that from the characteristics of the attachment types. For example, a dismissive-avoidant woman has high self-esteem (she puts herself on a pedestal, her gym, diet, lifestyle, self care and social media game is on point), and low opinion of others (she sees people as annoying or inferior, so she hates when others put her in a pedestal, she hates compliments and it's emotionally closed to everyone)

If she's secure, she's is happy to be in a pedestal, and she also has you on a pedestal. If she's anxious-preoccupant, she can only stay with you if she can put you on a pedestal. If she's fearful-avoidant, the pressure of being in a pedestal will make her go or push you away. If she's dismissive-avoidant, she's annoyed that you put her in a pedestal, and will go or push you away.

I see what you mean, but still i find it hard to "get up and walk away" without that signaling something like "i'm angry, very angry, you touched one of my insecurities, woman!", women tend to lose respect real fast for insecure guys, opening the door for her other options

That sounds too reactive, a bad boy would probably slowly say something like "uh huh, sure", and not even flinch a bit, he would signal something like "i heard you, but whatever, i don't give a fuck" She may or may not exercise her options, but a bad boy is not afraid of losing the woman, very few men have this level of confidence, so by not reacting in an insecure way he has better chances to keep her

It "literally falls right in my lap" for you, but for the woman, she was probably thinking about you for some time, you were seducing her unintentionally, maybe you were her crush, and she decided that she needed you in her life for real. For some guys this is not going to happen, because they may have lives that give them little to no exposure to women, they can't do this "indirect seduction" game, women are not going to fall right in their laps just like that, "out of sight, out of mind"...the…
