1	Why women lose the dating game Thanks, Ryan (I assume?). I appreciate the story and insight. You bring up a really good point with respect to reactions to your girlfriend's choices. We (of the female sort) get so danged many mixed messages. Pursue career advancement. But don't be a frigid bitch boss. Work out to be athletic and toned. But not too built, that's gross. Oh, it's so cool that you play video games. Oh, you just want attention go back to Angry Birds. Or in her case, it could be the "Don't depend on a guy for your l…	/r/seduction	29/10/13 05:55 AM
2	Why women lose the dating game You bring up so many good points, but arrgh that's the hard part about dialogue in forum posts. One can try to address each point and bring up 10 more in the process, or just pick one thread to dig deeper. Your thoughts on perceived abundance/scarceness really stuck out to me. And emphasis on the "perceived". Because statistically, there are just as many guys in the world as there are gals, right? But like you said, men are conditioned to pursue, and women are conditioned to withhold. One VERY r…	/r/seduction	29/10/13 05:02 AM
1	Why women lose the dating game So much agreed. There are a lot of biological/evolutionary arguments being brought up in here, but we aren't only animalistic creatures. We learn, we develop behaviors, we have the ability to judge. So much of our success as a species comes from our collective ability seek long-term benefits over short-term gain. I saw another post pop up recently, "A woman can't make you happy, only you can". But /u/StoicGentleman says we "only care about fertility" and "that's how humans have evolved to functi…	/r/seduction	29/10/13 04:09 AM
1	Why women lose the dating game Interesting. Yes I mentioned all of these activities/characteristics, but I definitely did not say they made a guy "weak". That was your modification. I agree that the sub is about attracting women. By providing and demonstrating value to yourself, your peers, and ultimately some lucky lady/ladies. I support that wholeheartedly. But why limit yourself to a predefined set of ways to provide value? A confident man is just that, whether he has a soft spot for teddy bears or no.	/r/seduction	26/10/13 02:31 AM
4	Why women lose the dating game Hmm I never said I had no time to date outside of my job, but I will say it is (was) difficult. I have great friends and great adventures. It's just more difficult now with a demanding job versus say when I was in college. It takes strategy, being incredibly intentional, and trusting that your bonds will hold through periods of job-related disappearance.	/r/seduction	26/10/13 01:41 AM
7	Why women lose the dating game Yeah I can see how that seems to contradict. The way I see it, the majority of my energy and time does go toward my career. Thank goodness my SO is supportive of this. Many guys would not be. But just because I dated and have a boyfriend, I don't think that disqualifies me from being in this pool of women. Just because there's a goalie, right? Ha... I also wanna add on that I did have to challenge myself (and the ideas mentioned in this article) in choosing to date this guy. We all have a gut se…	/r/seduction	26/10/13 01:35 AM

5	Why women lose the dating game I think traditional gender roles existed for a reason the bullshit feminism is currently selling, which is that "You can have it all" attitude. Not really reading between the lines, I take it that you disagree with feminism and prefer a more division-of-labor approach to partnership. Do correct me if I'm wrong, I'm interested in dialogue. Just want to ask you to consider one idea that feminism (though I can't speak for certain extremes) shouldn't be about taking rights away from men and giving t…	/r/seduction	26/10/13 01:20 AM
5	Why women lose the dating game No, not at all. I'm referring to the sand-through-the-fingers analogy as something the world-at-large overwhelmingly seems to enforce (at least in my experience), but with which I disagree. I think the point is that even with a huge net worth, there will be less available men later in life. My analogy would be, "What if you save up money for a while for a product and by the time you have enough it isnt for sale anymore?" I think this is the crux of the matter, and I offer no solutions. It's a Ca…	/r/seduction	26/10/13 12:39 AM
96	Why women lose the dating game Here I go, into the shark tank. I’m sensing a lot of hostility in here, but this is something that really strikes a chord with me. So here’s one perspective. I'm a gal that's in this pool of women focusing on career rather than dating in my post-college years that the article is referring to. Yes, it is unfortunate that by investing in my future career advancement, I am also losing out on key dating opportunities. We all have limited time and resources, and have to make choices with what to do w…	/r/seduction	25/10/13 11:40 PM
24	20 Life-changing things I learned from Robert Glover's book 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' Asking and receiving help can be a great relationship-builder when done correctly. How, you ask? It shows the person you are placing trust in them It puts you in a bit of a 'debt' position, right? If you're conscious of this (which it seems you would be), remember it and one day help them back. This shows your value as an accountable and giving person. When they say thanks, tell them 'Hey not a problem. You did XXX for me, remember? Always let me know if I can help with anything' If you show sin…	/r/seduction	30/09/12 04:24 PM
1	[Swedish] Girl calls into radio show called "Breakup Call" to breakup with her boyfriend on air. It doesn't quite go as expected... I'll post translation/comments in thread. Whoa. Consider me educated	/r/seduction	28/09/12 06:24 PM
1	[Swedish] Girl calls into radio show called "Breakup Call" to breakup with her boyfriend on air. It doesn't quite go as expected... I'll post translation/comments in thread. I gotcha in that respect. Like how Jerry Springer shows are mostly set up or manipulated in some way. I'm just poking fun at how you tagged an "Edit" to the end of your post when it was actually part of your original comment (no asterisk =P)	/r/seduction	28/09/12 06:21 PM
1	[Swedish] Girl calls into radio show called "Breakup Call" to breakup with her boyfriend on air. It doesn't quite go as expected... I'll post translation/comments in thread. Hmm faked like fake "edits"? Unless mods are exempt from the asterisks of death haha Totally agreed though, breaking up in such a public forum reeks of general messed-up-ness. Though I really can't help myself whenever Ryan's Roses comes on the air...	/r/seduction	28/09/12 06:08 PM
2	[Swedish] Girl calls into radio show called "Breakup Call" to breakup with her boyfriend on air. It doesn't quite go as expected... I'll post translation/comments in thread. I don't know, man. I see what OP is trying to demonstrate seduction-wise with this video, but once you enter relationship territory (which is safe to assume if they've been seeing each other for 5 months) there's gotta be communication and mutual respect. I just don't see that here.	/r/seduction	28/09/12 02:22 PM
