Men can be surprisingly honest about themselves when they're not concerned about impressing a girl.
/r/seduction25/02/26 11:00 PM

I once had a girl try to stick me in the friend zone while I was trying to make something happen with her, sitting on her bed, at her place, after the first date. Now, she was doing it because she didn't want to seem easy and wanted to slow things down, but she picked the worst possible way to go about it because I took her at her word and calmly called it a night. She followed me out into the hall trying to change my mind, but by that point I was tired and just wanted to get some sleep. Point b…

It definitely does happen. You're thinking about it like a guy. Think of it instead like this - if a girl is giving you everything you want sexually and isn't pushing too hard for commitment, how likely are you to give it to her when having your cake and eating it too is an option? Friendzone happens when guys emotionally over-invest in a woman and fail to maintain sexual chemistry. Often it happens because she's hung up on another guy and you're her backup or second priority. The key variables …

Both are bad in different ways. What women really screen for is initiative, assertiveness, emotional composure, and authenticity.

Here's the truth. When guys ignore signs and signals, it's generally for one of three reasons, which are easy to tell apart. Novelty/Inexperience. He's not used to a girl crushing on him, so he second guesses everything and is slow to respond and slow to react because he doesn't know what it means or what the move is. The way to correct for this is slow and patient attention and a bit of gentle coaxing to take action. Once he gets some idea of your intentions and expectations, this gets smoothed…

The important thing is to understand that it happens either because you never had a chance and she's just social gaming you, or she sensed a lack of direction and started selling you short. Your early text history will tell you which. Another useful MM heuristic is - receptive, unreceptive and neutral. Your goal should be to suss out which one she is as quickly as possible to avoid wasting time, while also not leading with your chin by trying to push her too far.

Think of it like a hand of poker. She's advertising a low interest level, which translated to poker is the equivalent of checking or min-betting. Either her interest level really is that low, or she's slow playing to see if she can get leverage and therefore potential profit if she can see the turn. Your choices are to either match her slow-play or bet big and chase her out of the pot. Matching the slow play doesn't serve your interests as she likely will only invest more if she sees an opportun…

Text game is all about tempo. Women love it because it allows them to flirt from a position of safety and ambiguity, where they can take their time responding. Because of this, almost every man is at a disadvantage over text, which is why the traditional advice is to get away from texting as fast as possible and use it for logistics only. Otherwise you run the risk of over-pursuing, losing your read on her and either spilling your guts, getting try hard, both, or saying something dumb that gets …

I don't need to moralize to say what you're suggesting is a bad idea. Argument to pragmatism - bunny boilers are a bad time. Argument to common sense - seducing women by damaging their self-esteem just breeds dependence and obsession, assuming you're successful- are you sure you want that? Don't piss in the dating pool - once again, just common sense. Those girls you mistreat will be another brick in some other guy's wall. Argument to screening - using tactics that only work on low self esteem w…

Getting this level of compliance out of a woman is more dependent on the woman than on the man or what he says or does. And tbh, that level of compliance is not healthy and doesn't reflect healthy feminine behavior. That's the kind of thing you want out of a woman if you have complete contempt for her and want her to be in OP's words, "emotionally enslaved". I ain't interested in that, and I think any man who actually understands women would say the same. Only a fool idolizes pimp game. Unless y…

I'll describe it like this. Having female friends is good. It will reduce any sense of alienation you might feel with women, get more comfortable with them, and get better insight into the female mind. What it will not do as a general rule is help you get laid, with one notable exception that I'll cover later on. Let's talk about some of the things you need watch out for: Putting yourself in the friend zone. - You want to know how guys get in the friend zone? When a girl knows that a guy is into…

I would make three points on this topic. First, if your benchmark of success is having women openly and blatantly make eyes at you or give you attention without having to lift a finger, you're chasing the wrong goal. First, some women never do this, some women do this all the time. Second, the kind of men who tend to get this are men who are striking in terms of superficial appearance, and it's not always a straight looks/money/status thing. It's having a polarizing (in a romantic sense) appeara…

Yeah as a general rule if you have these four things, you won't hurt for female attention. They aren't the last word, but if you have issues in one of these four, you're holding yourself back.

Here's the riddle. OP is really pointing out the difference between outer game and inner game. And it's a valid point to make. Amazing products go unsold or fail in the market because they're badly marketed. Here's the riddle. There is a third piece that integrates and relies upon both inner and outer game and that's attitude. It's the piece that knits the two together. And it's why you see guys with big gaps in either their inner or outer game or both succeed. And it's the hardest thing to teac…

The best way I can describe it is like this: One of the biggest blind spots women have with men is mistaking indifference for authenticity. That's what the bad boy mystique is really about. Women are desperate for attractive guys who don't kiss their ass and make them chase at a psychological level. The root cause of this is likely a lack of confidence in themselves and their ability to assess a man's character but ours is not to reason why. Where this boggles the minds of men is that when a wom…

Everyone's dumping on OP and I don't get why. This is solid advice for dealing with dudes trying to flex on you, and it will happen. The more successful you are, the more often it will happen. And the big mistake most guys make is they get rattled.

To me this is overstating a valid point. Looks obviously matter, but up to a point. To me, the key point is to make the most of what you've got, and to remember that style, fashion, grooming, hygiene - all the little details matter. Another important thing to remember is that the main reason why looks matter for men is because one of women's primary criteria is whether or not you're a guy that will make her girlfriends jealous. Sex also obviously matters, but this is primarily a matter of emotio…

One big blind spot for most men is that we can have sex with a girl under almost any circumstances provided the attraction is there. She could be a friend's ex/crush. We could hate her guts. It could be in a back alley or a club bathroom, but provided the willingness is there, we'd hit that. Women are different. For women, it actually makes a huge difference whether a potential sexual encounter is something which is ego-syntonic (where the ego gives her "permission") or ego-dystonic (where the e…

There are loads of ways to work in incidental touch under the guise of being chivalrous. Trick is to not be obvious or pushy about it. Women like chivalry, they just don't like feeling controlled or imposed upon. That's why the secret is to keep it light, informal, and a gift, rather than an obligation - for either of you.

So you want to sleep with girls without them getting emotionally attached? To some extent, this risk is impossible to hedge. When people hook up, there's always a non-zero chance of either person catching feels before, during, or after. Now that being said, there are some things you can do: Be emotionally closed off. Be more stoic, strong-silent, and only show vulnerability when it comes to flirting and sexual desire at the appropriate moments. The more emotionally open you are, the easier it is…

I would say you start hitting diminishing returns once you get below 20% BF and have some muscle definition. What women really look for is how well you wear what you've got. Of course they'll take a 6 pack over a beer belly. Beyond that, you want good cardio, some upper body mass, and the V-shaped torso.

Lifestyle is one of Mark Manson's Three Fundamentals but it's the one that determines the "quality" of girls you have a chance with. According to him, the fundamental that influences the sheer quantity is your willingness to take action. That's how starving artists who crash on their friend's couch get laid.

/r/seduction02/03/25 02:29 PM

This is a very fair point. Even if you have an "excuse" to talk to her, girls ain't stupid. If you're a random guy coming up to talk to her, the possibility that your intent is to hit on her will have crossed her mind (unless she has low sexual self esteem). So rather than try to hide your intent or preemptively justify it or explain it, just own it. Most women find being hit on to be a flattering experience unless she's having a bad day or the guy goes after her ego or makes her feel unsafe. Ju…

Well, it's repackaged Mark Manson, but it's still true. In fact I would argue that any seduction without emotional connection is by definition an example of fool's mate. 9 times out of 10 this happens because the girl has already decided she just wants to get laid and you're the right guy at the right place/right time. So given that, we can safely establish that a large part, if not almost the entirety of seduction is building an emotional connection, especially in the case of men seducing women…

These are all good counterpoints: Never chase. Actually many women like men who chase. The issue is chasing too hard and being too needy. It all really comes to down her investment level and if she's the type that likes to choose, or be chosen. The former responds to indirect game, the latter to direct game. Always escalate and be polarizing. Be careful with that at work or social circle. Also some girls want you to take things slow. The secret here is state control. You need to be able to slip …

To me, the difference between them is the amount of emotional pressure being brought to bear and any deception or duplicity being brought to bear. Ultimately to me manipulation is an attempt to force what good persuasion does naturally. And will agree that the line between persuasion and manipulation can get blurry. Which is why I say, when in doubt, check your intentions. Is it to guide them towards a choice, pressure them to make the choice you want, or take the choice away entirely? There has…

I think OP is conflating persuasion and manipulation. What's the difference? Persuasion is trying to sell someone on something that you genuinely believe in, like the truth or what you think is in their best interest. Manipulation is when you don't care what the truth is or what's good for them and getting what you want is what matters. Coercion is when you take the choice away entirely. Persuasion is fine. Manipulation is ethically gray at best, and often a great deal worse. And coercion is the…

Wrong. It's not that those things don't matter, it's just the wrong thing to aim at. The essence of masculinity is psychological self-sufficiency. It's wanting the company of someone from a place of want rather than need. And it's what women pick up on because the thing they crave most in a man is authenticity - a vibe which is literally impossible to give off when you are seeking someone's approval. That's why women dig assholes over chumps - because an asshole may be an asshole, but women doub…

To me the whole issue around the "Nice Guy" misses the point - especially as a lesson for men. Nice Guys are not unattractive because they're nice. Not all Nice Guys are manipulative incels, in fact most of them aren't or grow out of it fairly quickly. The problem with Nice Guys is that they crave approval too much, even if its just at an unconscious level. They're the "Pick Me" guys. And then people wonder why women turn up their noses at them. Why wouldn't they? You can't respect someone who v…

That's why I think it's important to distinguish between being courteous and kind, versus being approval-seeking and overly empathetic. A strong guy can be kind and empathetic, but only when she's seeking it, rather than it being pre-emptively offered.

If she's rounding bases with the OP but slamming the brakes on sex, it's not a friend zone situation. But it's similar. There's another guy she's more into, who's just not that into her. So she's setting up OP as her backup plan.

Your average man's ability to pull any given girl is dependent on 3 factors. How "in her league" he is. This is not a hard blocker, but it determines how receptive she'll be off the hop. If you're at or above her ball park in terms of lifestyle, she's a lot more likely to be receptive. And even if you aren't, differences create potential for chemistry, but they also increase the risk of friction. This is why being able to suss out her values and worldview can make a big difference, because those…

There's only two considerations in my mind when deciding how/when to text a girl: What am I trying to accomplish? Ideally it should be organizing a date/meetup. What's her buying temperature like? If it's high, I want to strike while the iron is hot and as soon as appropriate (if you met her last night, the next day, just not crazy early). If it's medium, I want to keep the momentum up without going hard sell. I'd text her later the next day. If it's low, I'd either not text, do a pro forma foll…

This is why I have a multi-stage screening process: Step 1: Do they turn me on? Step 2: Is the chemistry good enough that I want to sleep with them more than once? Step 3: Do I like them enough as a person that I'd hang with them? Step 4: Do I like them enough to start seriously investing? Step 5: Are we compatible long term? Are we aligned on values, beliefs, goals, hopes and fears? Step 6: Do I believe in "us" enough to go all-in?

Taking action is the one essential ingredient of getting laid. If you don't approach, if you don't flirt, if you don't go for the digits etc. Nothing else will help. And the more you do this, the sooner you'll find success. Improving your lifestyle boosts your self-esteem and keeps you out of the "ones you want, you can't get" trap. And you don't need to go be Tony Stark, just be the kind of person you want to date. And then working on game? That just boosts your batting average. Another trick i…

This strikes me as a bit of a strawman. So let's talk truth. The truth is that picking up girls is not hard provided you have the three fundamentals down.

There's no such thing really as a "good girl". Just girls who try to appear that way as a way of managing their relationships with guys. Even the "good girls" want to be seduced and turned on by attractive men, they just place a higher premium on maintaining control and not being seen as or feeling easy. The secret to these girls however is that because they repress their sexuality and other strong emotions, they live in their heads and have powerful fantasies. So leverage that by being stoic, b…

I think you're getting a little insecure. I should have read the OP closer as this girl has given you some clear signs of interest. Some girls just aren't big texters. It does sound like she's trying to avoid letting things move too fast + trying to manage expectations/your interest level. So my advice is avoid overtexting and focus on meeting her in person. Then when you do meet up with her, focus on teasing her in the flirtatious and confident manner to spike attraction and sexual tension and …

In my experience, when you get hot and cold behavior from a woman, the root causes basically break down into two camps: She was never that into you and is just milking you for attention. The dead giveaways for this are 1) She has a boyfriend or withholds her relationship status. 2) when she's hot, she's hot, and when she's cold, she's ice cold. 3) she sidesteps or resists your attempts to escalate or take things further while simultaneously trying to avoid rejecting you outright.

This is actually quality advice for women. Basically stop expecting everything to just fall into place and for guys to fall all over themselves just for the faint possibility of sex. It's amazing what can happen when a girl just strategically takes initiative and actually tries to build a relationship with a guy, rather than playing silly sexual brinksmanship games that only wind up screening for fuckboys who just ain't that into ya.

Ehh, that strategy might work for you, but I find it too passive for me. It can work, but it means you pretty much are locked in the role of being the bright shiny male object just out of reach for lonely girls with low self esteem. I've had girls develop crushes and chase me too, but I don't find the results terribly satisfying as you often wind up with a needy girl where it's difficult to manage expectations.

Also, for me it isn't about withholding my approval (women already know you like them) so much as it is about respecting their space and their comfort zone. Women constantly meet guys who won't leave them alone. Actually, women are not the best at telling how into them a guy is, unless the guy is making himself an open book. In most guy's experiences, letting a woman know how into you are is placing yourself at her mercy, so you better hope she's just as into you, at the exact time. Women don't …

Ironically, women think this is what screws them up with guys, when in reality, it's their lack of game that holds them back. A woman really could screw a guy fast or not, that's not the difference-maker. Either the pathway to a relationship is still open, or it never was.

Hard disagree. Women are attracted to how a man makes them feel, and both men and women back-rationalize this to something more superficial like looks/money/status. Because the truth is those things are like dick size - if people say it's irrelevant, they're lying. If they say it's superimportant, they're either externalizing some fucked up fetish or trolling. And truth be told, the same thing is true of men when it comes to women. Most men chase physically attractive, high status women because …

Women like nice guys because they're safe and generous. Women like bad boys because they're sexually and emotionally stimulating. Women like good men because they represent the direction a woman wants to grow towards. Optimizing for being a good man will yield the best results personally and romantically, but it means having to risk being overlooked or having to do a lot of sifting. Optimizing for being a bad boy will get you sexual results and options, but it has a low ceiling and takes a lot o…

Here's my thoughts/experiences with this. How women respond to male vulnerability largely depends on their self-esteem and investment level, which is why you can see some really extreme love/hate reactions to it. If she has high self-esteem and is super-invested in you, you saying you want something official would be music to her ears. She's hoping and waiting to hear such things and will often be dropping hints or trying to have "the talk". If she has low self-esteem and isn't very invested, he…

My advice is make connections, but don't over invest and don't simp. A wide social circle can only help you in game, and so long as you pay close attention to how much time and effort a girl is demanding before she does anything for you, you can spot the girls who are looking for orbiters fairly easily.

The answer to the riddle you're trying to overcome is this - yes if you approach her randomly and chat her up, sooner or later she's going to assume you're hitting on her. And so what? Girls aren't stupid. By the time they get to college, they have a pretty good understanding of what's likely on a guy's mind when he approaches.

You're more valuable to her as a friend than as a boyfriend she might have to eventually move on from. Accept that your window to make an impression on her as a potential sexual option closed a long time ago, and the only way that might change is if you move on and get over her completely.

The big change that I notice is that she's far more unguarded around you. Before you sleep with a woman, especially if the sexual tension is well established, her shields will be up, not because she doesn't trust you per se, but because she wants to maintain plausible deniability and with that, some control and some leverage over the sexual tension.

There can be multiple root causes to this, so I think I'll approach this from most likely to least likely. You telegraphed too much approval.

9 times out of 10, the juice isn't worth the squeeze playing the long game, especially as it usually takes a pretty dramatic turnaround to increase a girl's attraction meaningfully after she's already made a decision about a guy.

By that logic, the only way to be emotionally unavailable is to basically ice her out.

Effective and easy solutions do not need a thousand or so words to explain. Next, who ever said that good listening and having a strong presence weren't powerful tools? But those alone in my experience don't get you laid unless the girl you're dealing with is ready and willing to take the initiative. In fact, taking the initiative is the best way to get her talking so you can practice this kind of game.

It's simple - when in doubt, match her level of interest. The reason for all these silly and uncodified "rules" around texting is because everybody uses it as a way to gauge interest. Even if they say they don't. So go off the vibe from when you last talked to her. If she's super into you, then play it casual and direct. The only way you can fuck up here is going to extremes. If she was giving off neutral vibes and yellow lights, then you give a little space just to hedge against looking too thi…

Did you forget, or did you chicken out? The fact that she followed up with you is actually a good sign. Some girls would just shrug and put you in their slush pile. But your insecurities got the better of you and you overcompensated. Your initial response wasn't bad, but the mistake was not following up with actual plans. Give it another day and ask her out for realsies. If she's still into you maybe she'll give it another chance, but you were being try hard.

They fuck the toxic asshole because the toxic asshole is often the only guy with the stones to make a move and not let her walk all over him. In a lot of ways, women are trying to play the game like men, and then wondering why they can't get what they want. What they fail to realize is that men play that style of game because they don't care about getting in a relationship, and even then, guys who play the field still have a nasty tendency to go after the exact wrong girl.

To put it bluntly OP, you're struggling with women because you're giving away your time and attention for free. Attracting women isn't really about looks (though it does help - go to the gym), nor is it about running psychotic pimp game (outside of not being a pushover). Attracting women is really about internalizing a belief in your own value as a man and acting accordingly. It's about cultivating a healthy and sane level of self-respect. Not everyone will have the same valuation of you as you …

I’ve always thought it was bullshit when women talked about the “female gaze” because, I mean, just look at who’s the most attractive to women - the same type of guy: tall, white, handsome, athletic looking, etc. It would feel like women were lying about how they “don’t care about looks” because we have eyes and can see what women respond to. I'd say it's more like they do and they don't. It's not that they don't care about looks, it's that looks is just one factor in a holistic process. Men are…

This. Largely because women can sooner or later tell if you're interested in them. And hiding your interest, especially when she wants it, seems either weak or mean. Like when you can tell a girl is interested in you, but just won't play ball. Eventually you get to a point where you just don't want to bother with them unless they're under your thumb.

Focusing on whether or not you kiss, smash, or hit some milestone of physical intimacy is missing the forest for the trees. It's also exactly what women are on guard against. If the chemistry and sexual tension are there, whether or not you kiss or get into bed is almost irrelevant. It'll happen sooner or later provided the vibe is right.

As a general rule, that's the best thing. When I'm texting a girl, I want the tempo of the conversation to get faster. That means she's invested in the conversation and enjoying herself.

No spark = no sexual chemistry. No sexual chemistry = no sexual tension. No sexual tension = no flirting and/or botched flirting. This is why flirtation exists, to build sexual chemistry without breaking the tension. Flirting works because the sexual communication is all subtextual (i.e. no direct and overt intentions). Seduction is a dance and flirting is the steps. You're communicating what it'd be like to be in bed with you by the way you flirt with her. This is why men tease, why they compli…

4-5 days in my books is playing it a little too cool. But then again, I try to avoid at all costs setting up a date more than a few days in advance. A week at the most.

No OP is right on this one. I went with a girl to a party once, she didn't want to drink (even though I knew she did) and I didn't press the issue because it didn't matter to me.

She was playing the field dude. Every time a girl has behaved like that with me, it was because I wasn't her priority.

What do you need to prove to her? Any girl who'd say that to you either really really dislikes you, or is crushing on you and wants to bust your chops.

Some girls need to be teased before they're comfortable being hit on, because need to be invested first. Some girls need a guy to…

It really depends. Sometimes they just can't be bothered to deal with you heads up, especially if it's something awkward or painful like rejection. Sometimes they get so anxious about dealing with you, for any number of reasons, that they just lock up. Sometimes they feel whatever they have with you is doomed and want to bail first. Especially if they're spiteful or vindictive. Ultimately, unless you have kids with her, a woman can't do shit to you emotionally unless you give a shit about her an…

This is actually why seduction gets a bad rap because this is a human nature problem. People want all the benefits of an intimate relationship, whether they're consciously aware of it or not, and avoid the strings attached. And if you allow people to do that, they often will. You'll hear this exact same story out of women who start hooking up with a guy, he starts treating her like a GF, she catches feels, he bounces. This is why my rule is to never lie or hold out when it comes to how I feel ab…

It means she wants a guy who is a challenge to win over, rather than say a Ted Mosby. Some girls, all they really want is a guy who wants them back and isn't afraid to let it show. Other girls, they want a guy they choose and chase. All it really means for a guy is how you approach them. Do you add value to the interaction by say complimenting her, or do you ask for value first, by say teasing her a little and playing hard to get.

Rejecting people is never easy and never something I look forward to, but there's a few simple guidelines to make it as pain-free as possible. 1. Don't lie. Should be common sense but the temptation will be there. Most of the hurt feelings from a rejection come from deception, be it from another or to yourself. Truth is the active medicinal ingredient of any rejection, and the rule of thumb should be to be as honest as they ask for or you think they can handle. Remember that just because you sho…

It's good to have boundaries with these sorts of things I find.

Bullshit. The only difference is hotter girls have on average more options. Self-esteem and character do not track with hotness past a fairly low threshold. And the proof of that is girl game. I've met 7s with girl game for days. They weren't the hottest ones, but they played their cards right and never lacked for options. And I've met 9s who were their own worst enemy when it came to men.

If the only women you're trying with are super-hot ones, then straight up, you're looking for trophies and your priorities are outta whack. I'll take a 7 with the right personality and the right chemistry, than a 9 without those things. 10/10 times. There are limits to how much I'll compromise on looks, but the point still stands that past a minimum threshold, looks count for less and less, especially if there are other things missing.

This is a somewhat complex question, because it hinges a lot on her personality and what she responds to, so you have to get a read on her.

Confident persistence shows up best when a girl is wishy-washy about you or giving you lots of shit tests. She does that because she's unsure about how she feels about you, so your move is to be super confident about where you stand. If she senses uncertainty from you, it will confirm her uncertainty.

Persistence is when you hold your course while she stays on the fence. Chasing is when she's showing you clear disinterest and you ignore it.

I'd be careful with this one dude. If she's well adjusted but just awkward she'll feel embarrassed and vulnerable around you. And if she's not well adjusted she'll be thirsty AF. I'm not saying run, but what I am saying is this might be one of situations where the right thing to do by her is not sleep with her, even if she wants it bad.

This is an important thing for guys to understand, especially as they gain some experience and perspective. And that is that a frightening amount of women have no game, or worse, deeply flawed game. This is a hard thing for guys to wrap their head around, largely because the average girl has far better social skills and more social experience than the average guy. By the time you've lost your virginity, let's say in college, she's on her third boyfriend. But that's the typical thing and we're fo…

OP sounds like some weird tourist/shill. The answer to what OP is describing is simple - they're naturals and/or she picked him. Women have needs too and when they find a guy who fits them and is available, they seduce him and lock him down. Women invented seduction after all, though it's rapidly becoming a lost art as evidenced by the increasing number of women coming on here looking for advice. I personally welcome this because I believe the fundamental principles of good game are universal an…

Okay, I can relate to this more than one might think, so I'mma unpack some of my thoughts on the matter. One of the big difficulties with having self-esteem issues is that you have trouble seeing yourself the way others see you. You have a hard time putting their reactions to you into context because you don't see the big picture with how you come across. If anything you probably confuse the shit out of women. Many of them will probably think you're either gay, or unattainable. No joke - I saw t…

Dude I was in a fraternity. What I haven't done, I've seen. I once went through three different girls in three days. And my game was weak compared to others I knew. Is it hypothetically possible?

Guys hear this, think of every time a woman dropped him like a hot potato because he expressed emotion in a way that violated some unspoken expectation of hers, and disregard this as well-meaning words and nothing more. Maybe that's not fair, but that's where guys are at now, circa 2022.

The issue is different women have different reactions to men showing emotion. And most men either have no idea what to expect with a given woman, or lead with their chin and suffer. Some will be turned on and drawn in by vulnerability/emotional expression, others will think it weak, and others will think it makes the guy an easy mark and start putting him in the friend zone. The other variable is what kind of emotion. Sadness or despair? Ladyboner-killer. Hello darkness my old friend. Anger? Dep…

Sorta in the sense that I got a FWB to hook up with me again after I gave her some good reason to be pissed with me.

I too can relate to the experience of getting female attention when I wasn't looking for it and/or too awkward and young to know what to do with it.

game has no gender. Disagree 100%. Many of the fundamental principles and concepts of game cut both ways, but men and women have different strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, as well as different goals and agendas. We may all want the same things from a 30,000 foot view, but we walk very different paths to get there.

Women only hate being put in the friend zone when they're crushing hard on a guy. Even if they're just attracted to him, they know it's relatively easy for a woman to convince her male friends to sleep with her (assuming they're not gay and she's not unattractive). Picture it like this - what if an attractive woman came up to you and said "I don't want to date you, but I'm totally down for a friends with benefits type deal". The only way as a guy would hate that is like a 500 Days of Summer type…

Dude if she's giving you ultimatums this early on, you need to run. Forget teaching her a lesson, just run.

Women want to be desired. That's what they really crave from men. To feel special, important, valued. In respects, that's what we all want out of the opposite sex. So if you're a guy who just so happens to stir a woman's interest and you dilly-dally, go super slow, give her nothing to react to, and generally waste her time, you're holding back the one thing she wants most from you, like a girl who acts super-prudish for some unknown reason.

The trick is the vibe and sending the message that you're only using the request for a spot as a means to break the ice.

Do what women have done for millennia with shy men. Play "tag". Go up and approach him with some excuse like asking him to spot you. Then give him your name after and wander off without a care in the world. If he can't take that hint, he's either gay, a pussy, or just not interested.

This is the best short answer to this question. Anyone paying attention knows that a woman values confidence in a man above almost anything else (though we should define confidence as the ability to be unaffected by thirst/neediness). The irony I've noticed is that the lower a woman's self-esteem is, the higher a priority confidence in a man is for her. That's how you see women winding up with obvious bad news men. But even with high self-esteem women, if you haven't got that baseline level of c…

It's my working theory that the true distinction between "assholes" and "chumps" is the amount of thirst they display in their behavior. There can be no difference between them, or the chump is actually superior in many respects. They can even actually feel the same level of thirst, but the simp lets it alter his behavior while the Chad is either unfazed or relies on a number of smokescreens, either deliberate or unintentional.

Sounds to me less like a self-esteem problem and more of a specific issue with women. Best guess is repressed thirst. When we're thirsty, we have a nasty tendency to idealize hot women, then we can't live up to the idealized version of her, then we feel inferior. You don't see her insecurities, her underdeveloped personality, her unresolved trauma, the ugly ducking teenager she sees in the mirror, or her overwhelming need to just feel appreciated by someone.

A week is too long IMO. I would wait 2-3 days since last response and if there's more weirdness, then I pull back to 2 weeks. When you have momentum on your side, you run with it. If she's going cold on you for no reason, then you pull back and pull back hard.

Yeah, sounds like the timing is wrong for dating and you guys were just the right person at the right time, and now her focus is on another dude, and your focus is on another girl. Let her go, and don't be surprised if she circles back.

Taking a step back in this context would be cancelling plans or being a little more aloof, not sleepwalking through a hangout and then going off to someplace else.

The #1 sign a girl is catching feelings in an FWB situation is when she starts trying harder or taking more initiative.

When a girl is attracted to a guy or has designs in him, she's super concerned about making the right impression. If she's venting to you and unloading her baggage with you, that behavior flies in the face of the first point. Therefore unless you guys are already hooking up, you're just a friend.

80-90% of rejections happen for two reasons. Your approach was weak or you made mistakes. Women have defenses for a reason so you need to be at least competent at flirting and have your mindset sorted. But mistakes are also correctible, and often impersonal.

Push-pull is cute when it's early days or you know where they stand. The added context makes it sound like this guy is all over the place. He ain't worth your time sister. The only answer to persistent Push-pull is to walk away. The best comparison I can think of between guy game and girl game is that it's like a dance, one person leads, the other follows and it switches back and forth. But when one person doesn't follow any sort of steps and is all over the place, you can't dance with them.

Eye contact is not really a conscious thing unless it's a held gaze. You're reading too much into it.

Eye contact is my go-to cue on a woman's interest level. Mark Manson has a great article on it here. If a girl is holding eye contact with you from across a room, approach. If she's acting like you're invisible, you've got nothing to go on.

This is fantastic advice. Guys who are open books don't intrigue women, because they're so easy to read. There is a time and place for expressing yourself without restraint, but make it a conscious, deliberate choice, rather than an impulsive or unconscious decision.

Then you can both exercise some charisma without giving away the store in terms of your thoughts and emotions.

Well, at the risk of sounding neckbeardy, this is what happens when you have the feminists telling entire generations of women that men are scumbag manchildren who only want one thing and they cannot be trusted. If the genders were reversed, everyone would call that sentiment outright bigotry. And it won't stop until women stand up to feminism and say "who gave you the right to say such hateful shit to our daughters about our sons, in our name?"

Nowhere is it written that a guy has to put up with that. Women treat men as badly as men let themselves be treated. Yes there are a lot of women out there with bad attitudes and red flags. That's why you need to be screening and have standards. Don't waste your time with hot messes.

Nowhere is it written that you can't take a break and just do you. It's your life bro. In fact, if you're feeling frustrated and burnt out with women, the best thing you can do for yourself is take a break and work on yourself. Otherwise you're take that frustrated energy into your dealings with women and it will sabotage you. Just don't let it turn into your excuse for not getting back on the horse.

If that's happening, it's because you're taking the dating apps too seriously. Do you think girls go on Tinder hoping to meet Mr Right? The reality is that most girls go on Tinder either looking for quick dick, or attention. So the solution is to stop sweating every convo, hone your profile to get as many matches as possible and just treat it like batting practice. The guys who get laid off Tinder get laid because they either have maxed out their looks, or because they're DGAF enough to polarize…

Comparing guys who clearly have issues escalating with guys who just mine their little black book is a bit apples and oranges. Being social will get you around women sure, but if you're not actually putting yourself out there and polarizing to attract, what difference does it make? But at the same time, that's a more advanced problem. Many of the guys on here have trouble simply cold approaching a girl.

Everyone isn't you. Furthermore, no matter how valid your issues are, you aren't gonna make anything happen unless you put yourself out there. There is simply no way around it. So you can blame your lack of results on your lifestyle circumstances, and you might not even be wrong doing so. But that doesn't change anything. So once again, the choice is to either accept your limitations and be bound by them, or find a way around them.

Women are no more superficial than men are. They just have different priorities, and OP is viewing things through the wrong lens. Mark Manson said it best in Models - what women ultimately care about is a man's character. And if us guys have any brains or maturity, we'd be concerned about the exact same thing. Seduction is roleplay, and we're all looking for people who can play the masculine and feminine roles. Sometimes we prioritize some of these over others, often guided unconsciously by our …

This is both true and false. Yes, what ultimately matters to a woman is how a man makes her feel.

The guy reinvented himself in such a way that it would be an unrealistic story if he hadn't done it. And he did it by getting on his purpose.

It's the pickup artist paradox. Attractive men don't focus their lives around seducing women. And the further down that rabbit hole you go, the more you find yourself actually focusing on impressing other guys, which is not exactly "alpha male" behavior. To me, it's the single biggest sign of a grifter - when their "everything" is about pickup. Look at Mark Manson. He's gone on to write many other books, many of which have nothing to do with dating.

There is a line between building and breaking sexual tension. You break it when you clearly say or show that you want to sleep with them. Everything before that is still in the grey area of flirting where signs can be ambiguous, mixed, or highly indirect.

Just because something is socially reinforced doesn't automatically mean it is irrational, arbitrary, or wrong. Girls have many valid reasons to avoid being seen as "slutty", like losing face in front of their friends. The irony is, in my mind what is slutty is use to your sexuality as a bargaining chip or a commodity, not the things you do with someone you want to do them with. But I suspect that attitude will take a long time to spread to others, women especially.

A woman in this situation isn't likely to just ragequit or take her ball and go home. Instead she'll just write you off as a sexual prospect and stop trying, go cold, stick you in the friend zone, or all of the above. I've seen women do this all the time where they'll have a guy in their life with a crush that they're no longer into because he's a wimp, and keep him around because they like the attention or to outright use him.

I endorse everything he said, especially about the bitter losers in this thread. To-bang-or-not-to-bang is ultimately a risk-reward problem and if rejection is off the table, there's something else making him anxious. Putting him on the spot will just make him withdraw, so the best move is to alter the reward side of the equation. And this is easy because you've already had the sex. The only thing to remember is to know when to fold. Sometimes a guy/girl just ain't worth the effort.

The honeymoon phase is wearing off, and you're finding that you're not as into him as he is into you. If this wasn't the case, you'd be all like "what is this/where are we going" rather than "I could take it or leave it". I think a lot of this has to do with our societally unhealthy expectations when it comes to love. All too often we mistake infatuation for love, and then wonder why it comes and goes. Love isn't just a 6mo-1yr milepost on the "serious relationship" evolution. It's both accident…

Aye, If she comes back good I'll invite her round No, don't take her seriously. Her behavior has said "don't take me seriously, I'm just playing around". If you must, treat her like an acquaintance and invite her to parties. In the meantime I've got two other dates set up. Case closed. As far of the butterfly factor it makes perfect sense, Cheers Good luck!

Remember that the hottest girl can be a total waste of time in bed if the vibe ain't right. If a girl's looks are getting you shook, the problem is with you, not with her. Either you've got something to prove or you think she's out of your league. Maybe she does have more options than you, there's only one you. Treat yourself like you matter to yourself. Nothing more, nothing less. Hot girls are impressed by the guys that don't feel the need to impress her.

Noted on PDA, She is still texting but not commiting to meeting, therefore, best option is just to stop texting and let it go I think. See that's what I mean, you went from a guy she was interested in to a back burner guy. If she was still into you, she'd treat you like a priority. This can happen for all sorts of reasons. If you did or said something to turn her off, her interest level would have likely fallen further, which suggests it's something on her end. The harder you try, the more strin…

"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness.

Even if that's not the case, she's treating you like an option rather than a priority and she's being kinda obvious about it. M…

This is one of the first and most important lessons. Learn it as fast as possible. People who do this, intentionally or not, are waving a sign saying "I'm not worth your time". It's a sign that should not be ignored or rationalized away. And that's it. Lesson over. It's that simple. If shit happens, the normal thing to do is reschedule. If you start accepting flaky behavior, that shit sets a precedent and it never ever ever gets better. Even if you walk away and get back in touch later.

Well what I took away from that is, your vibe is wrong. That's what people mean when they say "the stink of desperation". You're noseblind to it, but all the women you meet see it and react to it.

This reads to me like taking a valid point and pushing it to silly town.

Sounds to me like she's not sure you're into her, or at least is feeling insecure about that. Teasing her is good, but you need to reward her with some affection when she plays along. A good rule of thumb with women is to positively reinforce the positive things she does, and either ignore or negatively reinforce the negative. This what people mean when they say "you teach others how to treat you".

Girls can act hot and cold for a variety of different reasons. They could be playing the field, they could be not sure if you're into them or vice versa.

To be fair, as a woman it isn't your responsibility to make something happen. As you yourself point out, you just want to sit back, respond positively to his flirtations and let it all unfold.

The best way to look at this is to take the "no spark" as a rejection-by-default. Think of it this way. If you are showing on some level that you want her, one of two things will happen. Either you'll get rejected and you'll have your answer. Or she'll be into it and things will proceed as they should. Therefore, if you're on a date with a girl and you're neither getting shot down, nor making progress, you are categorically playing it too safe. The only time this isn't the case is if she's going…

Start with small and achievable and be persistent. You will fall down and have to pick yourself up. In fact if you aren't doing that, you aren't trying hard enough. Another trick is to find things worthy of your time and investment and sink your energy into that.

Deliberately avoiding purpose is an exercise in nihilism. Everyone needs a purpose on some level. Something to direct their efforts toward, even if it's just basic survival.

This. The secret to approaching a woman in a group is to pay more attention to the group than to her. On some level, she'll start chasing your attention, especially if there's initial attraction.

There's two main reasons why women say this. The first and most obvious reason is because there's nothing women can't stand more than an inauthentic and insincere man.

This is just a tale of two mediums. The "only text to sort out logistics" is a rule that comes from meeting ppl IRL and wanting to keep the intrigue and anticipation going. Very easy to over-text in these situations and it doesn't help you. Whereas on Tinder and online dating apps in general, you must use text game because you don't know that person IRL.

Taking the initiative and moving the ball forward on a physical level. Assuming she's into you, this is what she'll want you to do.

Almost all women want to feel pretty, I could have rephrased it better. Some women want to chase sexually, because it allows them to feel in control and keeps them from losing their nerve. Some women need to be chased sexually because that's how they feel wanted and turned on. The ones that need to chase sexually respond more powerfully to the "bad boy" vibe, whereas the ones that need to chased want more direct attention - sexual tension turns them on rather than gets them anxious.

Is the answer to everything, to just be polygamous ? I don't see how you got there from what I've said. Sounds like there's something else going on in your head that you should examine. Holding frame and tactics are training wheels bro. When you have the right mindset, you won't need to think about these things. Your goal should be to get to a place where you hold frame without needing to think about it. You get there by being detached and not sacrificing your self-respect to keep a girl happy. …

One of the things that has always surprised me during my adventures and misadventures with women is how smoking hot girls will give me approach signals. Not just eye contact, but full-blown staredowns or even approaching me first. And in a way that more normal looking girls simply don't (unless they're basically throwing themselves at me in a kinda desperate way). I'd walk up to a girl who had been giving me signals, me all terrified to approach, and she'd give me her number easy-peasy with an a…

Dread game to me is overcompensation. And if you actually feel you need to practice it with a girl, she's probably the wrong girl. Guys think dread game works because they're terrified of becoming a simp and the girl losing all respect and attraction for him. The answer is actually real simple - don't be a simp! Be a bit of a mystery, keep your cards close to the chest, let her wonder about you, speculate, fantasize, obsess. All girls on some level need to do a little chasing of your vulnerabili…

You did everything exactly right, especially flipping the script after she flaked and tried to set the hook by saying reach out again. Sometimes girls just flake man, or decide to put you on the back burner. Could be she's chasing an ex. Could be she just got with her crush. Could be something crushed her ego and she's hiding on her couch with ice cream and chick flicks. Point is, she's taken the position that you're not a priority to her. To pursue her after that is to start chasing. She's on y…

Basically that if they start giving you signals of disinterest (long reply times, short boring texts, no initiation/reciprocation, ghosting etc.), that you shouldn't waste your time trying to figure out if she's actually interested or playing games.

Ahh some good questions there. When it comes to the question of timing, that's why I try to avoid texting girls during business hours.

If she ghosts, I maybe text once to confirm, then return the favor. It's also important not to read too much into an…

There's absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting casual sex. I think a lot of people these days are not doing casual sex right. They're either: Pursuing sex for the sake of ego. Pursuing sex to paper over/cover up their issues with their emotions/intimacy. Using sex as a power tool, which is downright toxic and ultimately self-harming.

Put yourself out there a little. If she's into you, she'll reciprocate. If she's not, she'll politely brush it off. The difference between platonic and romantic/sexual interest is investment level and vulnerability. When someone isn't interested in you that way, they won't be that invested and they won't put themselves out there or respond to flirtations positively.

Direct versus indirect really depends on the girl and the context. Day game and in person works better with direct because girls in that context aren't expecting to be hit on and making an impression is key. Night game and online works better indirect because girls have their defenses up and screen out guys who come on too strong. Cold approaching works better with direct, especially during the day, while social circle game with all its minefields and lower tolerance for failure favors indirect.…

Send clear signals. Ask good questions. If you're into it, reciprocate flirtations. Touch to show interest. Feel the ebb and flow of a conversation. Don't clam up when it's your turn to talk, and don't try to dominate the conversation. Have an air of curiosity about a guy.

Honestly, go into this with the assumption you'll fuck it up sooner or later, that way there's no pressure. It's also safe to assume attraction at this point, so my question to you is: What would do you do if you were totally unconcerned with failure? Do that. And in case I'm not being clear, in person is always the choice unless it's not an option. Men always do better in person.

Calibration is so key and it only really comes with experience. You have to get used to being present with a woman and understanding how she approaches the world. When you do that, then you gain a clearer understanding of what she wants and needs. Then it's just a question of flirting with giving her those things, and being clear about your needs and wants too.

Attracting and arousing a woman is only half the battle. That gets you chemistry. Compatibility is a whole different ball game, because that's about getting to know and understand each other on a non-sexual level. In some ways it's simpler, in some ways it's more complex.

One important thing to note is that sometimes the most boss move with a woman is to flirt indirectly (i.e. not with a direct/obvious sexual intent).

With those types, it's better to tease her and subtly frame her as sexually inadequate ("oh that's cute", bratty lil sister frame, "you're soo nice, but I like girls who have a dark side").

My theory of text game is evolving to this point: If you allow a woman to play her game over texts, she'll play you. Women are too used to stringing guys along over text.

One thing guys don't understand about text game is that it's biased in a woman's favor. A man's attractive power comes in the way he acts, the way he talks, the way he looks at a woman.

Women generally have no problem talking to, getting along with, and relating to different is types of people, while men struggle with interacting with women as people. Honestly this seems a little defensive. Everyone has problems dealing with everyone, that's life. I'm no…

Yes I agree with a lot of what you said, but I still have one catch. One thing I've definitely picked up on in my travels through the dating world is that a lot of women have no real respect for male vulnerability. They just don't. I've seen it, both firsthand and in other people's interactions. Best case these types of women will grudgingly tolerate male vulnerability the same way a guy might grudgingly tolerate a woman's temper tantrums. But I've seen women lose respect for a man, distance the…

I'd say the problem is the demonization of male sexuality. Men have no way to figure out how to be masculine enough to attract a woman without overdosing except through trial and error. And the consequences of error are potentially severe, even if there was little to no actual harm done. The man has to take risks. He can't bet on women to throw him a bone or even approach him, even if he is attractive. But at the same time, women are so bipolar with male sexuality that if he comes on too strong,…

If you can't strike up a conversation with a random stranger, you can't cold approach properly. That's how you get better at cold approaching - get more comfortable being social and extroverted with people you don't know and don't want anything from. What a woman respects and what turns her on is when she can't tell whether or not a man wants her until he decides he wants her. So approach women with the mindset of you want to know what she's about. That way, you haven't decided whether or not yo…

Give sexual affection as a reward, not a demand. Tease her, challenge her, playfully disqualify yourself ("you're too cute and innocent for me, I like bad girls"). When she plays along, she gets more invested in you, and you reward this with sexual attention, like touch, an earned compliment, or leading the interaction on. You want to establish that man-to-woman frame? Flirt with her. Polarize to attract. The time to show intent is the same as the way - kiss her.

Yes they can, but it can also get messy very easily. It usually goes bad in one of two ways. Men have a problem with female friends is that it easily becomes an emotional affair. You're spending time together, you have that rapport and maybe even emotional intimacy, maybe a lot of investment. The only thing separating that from a relationship is a sexual connection. And if she's attractive, then the question of her and him in the guy's mind is a matter of time. And then that brings all kinds of …

What's left unsaid is "real men aren't afraid to cry, when it's appropriate for them to do so." Women like to believe their man is so ballsy and authentic that if say his kid dies, he'll cry and not give a fuck. But of course, women's standards on when it's appropriate for a man to cry is often capricious, left unsaid, or decided in the moment.

Girls legit prize guys they can be emotionally vulnerable with more than guys they can sleep with. The way they figure it, they can find a fuckable guy fairly easily.

Femininity is not necessarily weak, it's just not masculine. And your advice is a great way to get stuck playing the Chad with some high-maintainence girl who doesn't really like you.

Why not instead focus on having a good time and building chemistry. That's an intention you don't have to hide and gets you where you need to go. That way, your focus is instead on staying present and enjoying yourself. If she chooses not to flirt back or respond in kind, then you know not to waste anymore time on her because it's obviously not gonna work. That way, you don't have to "force" making a move. If the vibe is right and you're getting out of your own way, it'll come naturally.

The behavior of "acting inauthentically" can be all over the place. If anything it's defined by its extremes. But in the context of dating, what it was really is, is "behaving in a way that is motivated by desire to achieve a specific outcome, rather than natural expressions of one's personality". When guys do this, it's like when a girl fakes or exaggerates her sexual interest, or plays really hot and cold.

Dude, she's into you. Trust me. If anything she's probably frustrated that you aren't returning her flirtations/making a move. Get out of your head and act authentically. If you like her and want something more, return the flirtations, and take some initiative. Just don't get super invested in an outcome like hooking up or becoming bf/gf.

It's not that complicated.

Guys get over-invested because they place too much of an emphasis on getting laid. Even if they don't say anything outright, if there's one thing girls are attuned to spot in guys, it's how much they want to smash. There's two reasons why this pattern is an attraction-killer: It undermines, often fatally, any sincere interest/rapport you have in her. She can't trust you if your intent is too obvious.

Thanks for this advice! A few questions: what do you mean by "Stop worrying about earning her trust, start challenging her to earn yours?" Girls go into their interactions with guys with the semi-valid assumption that guys only want one thing. Therefore, if a girl wants to find reasons to distrust a guy, she will.

The biggest tell is her body language. If she's laughing and smiling and enjoying herself, and then starting talking about how other guys chase her. It's number 1 for sure. If she's in a shall we say less buoyant mood, and more kinda hanging back and studying you, and not in a such a happy way, it's likely number 2. Another tell is that number one always looks similar, while number two can take many different forms, but the key sign is the absence of the body language of number 1.

Re-inventing the wheel much. This is not a new line. Approaching to me is really simple. If you're going direct, walk up and give her a gentle non-sexual compliment, then start making small talk and go from there. If you're going indirect, use an opinion opener or talk about something in your environment, then gently tease her at an opportune moment. And if you're really stuck, just say hi and go from there. In pickup, simple solutions and methods always beat more complex ones.

This is actually a good question because attraction and arousal are not the same thing. Here's my thought on the matter. When some is attracted to you, you have their attention.

The term tempo, the way I'm using it comes from chess. It basically means being a step ahead. Similar to "stealing a march", it means having the initiative.

Touch her. You need a sexual connection to get her to go home with you, otherwise what's the point? When a guy says "hey you should come over and check out my vinyl collection/meet my dog/hang at my after-party" - she's not fooled. Those things are just the face saving excuse. Conversation just gets you in the door and gives her something to ostensibly focus on other than your body. Sexual chemistry and tension is what makes her leave with you. The trick is not to overdo it and not get too physi…

100% approve. Lying to women and manipulating them is needy bullshit. All it does is screen for women who lie and manipulate themselves because girls who aren't into that will lose patience with it fast, the same way how a guy with self-esteem will not accept being strung along. The truth is a lot of girls out there do want or at least don't mind a casual thing depending on where they are in life and how they feel about you. A useful tip is not to go too hard on the emotional connection front if…

Honestly this is something where being in a relationship really helps. What I find really starts the shift is actually feeling sexually desirable to women. That's how you see guys with fucked up self-esteem get laid - they at least know how it feels so they have an easier time "playing the Chad". It's often what makes naturals so good - they intuitively know their value to women and then just accrue experience. Girls don't give guys compliments or express much if any direct interest to guys they…

How other people feel or think about your ethnicity is something you cannot control. Sometimes it'll work in your favor because you're different. Other times it might work against you, because people are stupid. The key thing is good social skills and being able to fit in the culture. That matters everywhere and to everyone. The straight truth is I've seen tons of brown guys who did just fine with women. I was impressed with two guys in particular, and ironically they were both short and both ha…

Especially these days, breaking the touch barrier is a boss move for chicks who want to show a little interest. It's not as out there as you think (so most well adjusted guys won't read too much into it) and it allows the guy to reciprocate. Guys are more self-conscious about being a creep more than ever before, so a girl showing the right amount of interest at the right time is a great catalyst. It won't make a guy fall for you, but if he is interested, it will encourage him to put himself more…

Of course not. Don't even do it for the women. From what I've seen and experienced, a lot of guys who have issues with women, the root of the problem is in their heads. Get to the bottom of that and getting more attention from women is just the cherry on top. And when it comes to age and looks, one thing you'll learn is that men have it easy in that department.

By communicating indirectly. Telling a girl you straight up like her is like spoiling the movie. Even if she wants you to like her, it's boring and lame to just hand her your keys like that.

There's two things driving that trend. The first is the sexual marketplace favoring women right now, the same way it favored men back in the 1950s and all the women complained about the Madonna/whore complex. The second is men themselves in the doldrums. These days, men are either good at playing the provider or the lover role and suck at doing both. And that's largely due to our unhealthy society and our fucked-up relationship with masculinity and male sexuality. So the way women adapt is the s…

They talk too much. That's why. Highly verbal guys have a nasty tendency to give away too much and make themselves into a sure thing. And then they wonder why they wind up in the friend zone. It's not like you need to go to the opposite extreme and go uber-"strong, silent type". You just need to recognize that less is more and learn to develop a filter.

Hanging back and observing could be what got you into this. Your passivity may have made her feel insecure, which leads to mixed messages, which makes you feel insecure.

Yeah there's some kinda weirdness going on there. My instinct would be to pull back. Either she's gonna keep pursuing and make things clear, or she's gonna keep sending mixed messages. Either way, you move is to walk backwards, not necessarily run. You sound too passive and too in your head. When in doubt, shrug. And when a girl is stepping into your sights, do something and see what happens. Even if it totally blows up in your face, there are other girls.

I disagree. You can't lead an interaction without putting some energy into it. You have to apply a little bit of pressure in order to polarize and get your counterpart to make a decision. What women don't like is when guys are too intense, or spazzy, can't follow the vibe, or can't control their energy level. Some girls like party animals, some girls like the chill smooth guy. Some girls respond to both or neither at different points in the dance.

It really depends on how girly the girl is. Really girly girls want bad boys because they're they're the opposite. They want the stones to tell society as a whole to fuck off and live life on their own terms, but they want to be accepted more. So they gravitate towards guys who don't give a shit what society thinks of them. And it's not so much about being an outlaw biker, as much as it is about being super non-needy.

Our current shitty dating climate (as in shitty for both men and women) is due largely to two trends.

The friendzone happens because guys fail to polarize. The female sex drive is more reactive than active, so for most women, they need to feel a guy's passion in order to get turned on and invested in a sexual outcome. That's why dominance is a big deal for women. Not because they want to be some guy's slave, but because it's how men can express their vulnerability, their raw desire, without sounding like an emo kid or their little brother.

When girls pull back, the move is not to chase. This is why abundance mentality is so key. Because the only sane way to deal with girls when they give off not-minor signs of disinterest is to take them at their word. Then either she'll come back for another chance or she won't. If it was just a shit test, she'll come back within roughly 2 weeks. If it wasn't a test, well don't wait up.

That's actually the kind of feedback that registers with guys. Often we have no idea how we really come across to women because women never tell us that truth.

My experience with female friends all seems to coalesce around one theme: sexual tension and how people deal with it makes or breaks a male-female friendship. How I Met Your Mother had something called the Mermaid Theory which was that if you spent enough one-on-one time with any woman, you'd eventually start to develop feelings. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but my take basically goes that if there's any residual attraction and it isn't totally off the table (like someone is married or it'd ju…

I'm actually going to be the contrarian on this one. When you actually get to know women and really really get them - you realize their standards for sex are actually not that high.

It's like you're taking okay ideas, and taking them waay too far. Real dominance is decisiveness and self-possession. If all it takes is the slightest hint of disrespect to get a "response" (not a reaction) out of you, that's not self-possession. That's throwing a temper tantrum.

There's a lot of truth to this. Women want you to be that guy that all their usual tricks don't work on. The guy where she has to come correct or she ain't gonna get anywhere. The one who's neediness level is so low that she's the needy one instead. Be that guy and women will seek you out.

Social rejection usually comes from a lack of self-awareness. You're not aware of the things you're doing, how you come across, what you're saying or why you're saying it. That's what makes other people react that way. Social skills is really the art of communication and expression.

Mark Manson gave a pretty good theory for push/pull in Models. The basic idea is you break rapport with the other person, then they restore rapport (because they're attracted) by chasing, and you reward them, then the cycle repeats. And the two main ways of breaking rapport in an attractive, even flirtatious manner are teasing and leading. Those two things are polarizing and break rapport, and when she complies or reciprocates, you reward this with interest, then you pull away leaving her wantin…

These are all good points. Find a way to stand out - be good at something. Find a way to take that skill and use it to add value to others. Use that to win friends and influence people, just don't let it go to your head. Don't let your social power go to your head. Wise people stay out of drama that doesn't involve them. The value you add to people's lives, the more word spreads and the more people recognize and treat you as a leader. Then the girls practically open themselves.

Because the truth is any type of game can eventually work if you go through enough women because not all women like the same things in the same way.

If you're gonna use dating apps, you're gonna get flakes. It comes with the territory + a lot of women just use them for validation/attention. You might want to try more teasing and qualification to keep them on the back foot and chasing. But beyond that, all you can do is be detached until you meet one of the girls in person.

Asking for a girl's number isn't polarizing. Isolating her and going for the kiss is, or asking her out, or inviting her back to your place. Polarization is when you get her to make a shit or get off the pot decision. Where if she says no, it's reasonable to assume she's not interested. And she'll know that too, that's part of why it works. Even if she rejects you this works to your advantage because then you know not to waste anymore time on her. And yes, polarization rarely happens with one es…

You're forgetting one of the most central parts of MM's ideas: polarize to attract. Sure working on your lifestyle will improve your overall odds and increase the pool of women receptive to you, but very rarely if ever do women just come on to a guy and chase him into the bedroom. In fact, it's somewhat suspicious behavior. You still have to game girls. You still have to approach them and flirt with them and lead them. The trick is, recognizing when and where to make the bold move so that when s…

I like his "you're right vs. that's right!" concept. Very clearly illustrates the difference between when someone is agreeing with you just to go along/shut you up, and when someone really buys into what you're saying.

Exposure therapy works best when it is gradual and successful. You don't get good at skiing just by bombing down the hill, hoping you don't crash into a tree. You may overcome your fear of a steep slope, but it's suboptimal. In the same sense, going out and getting blown out a bunch of times may lessen your fear of rejection, but you don't really learn the right things or internalize the right behaviors.

My philosophy is that if you're getting LMR, your game is flawed. LMR to me seems to be a symptom of mismanaged sexual tension. When things are going right, LMR should be a near non-issue (unless it's for obvious reasons, like Aunt Flo). I'll explain it like this. Sexual tension is the state where two people are aroused by each other but neither one has expressed real sexual intent yet. It's that highly ambiguous and nerve-wracking part of courtship that both sides definitely deal with, and ofte…

With shy girls, the eye contact will be more fleeting and coy. She'll ping you, rather than just stare you down. With the proverbial shy Asian girl, the prolonged eye contact comes when you're alone with her and the tension is beginning to spike. Then usually their body language will start to get obvious. So even if they come from a culture with a stigma against prolonged eye contact and/or are shy, eye contact is still a useful clue.

100% agree. The eyes don't lie. When a girl makes long prolonged eye contact with you, you know that you're on her mind. When the eye contact is fleeting or coy, you know she's into you, but feels a little insecure, usually because she doesn't know you well enough. Like when a girl is checking you out on the bus or something. And when she doesn't make that eye contact, you know her mind is somewhere else.

Yes that's all true and valid. Where self-esteem enters into that is that guys with self-esteem are authentic, guys without it are not.

To me, the secret to a good first kiss is sexual tension. When you're both feeling it, the opportunity will present it itself and you'll both on an unspoken level want it to happen. If the tension isn't there, the window of opportunity is less likely to be there and the risk of awkwardness is much higher.

Women have to challenge men too - that's the problem. And crazy is the wrong kind of challenge with the wrong kind of reward. In some ways, this is a symptom of a dysfunctional dating market - where people make all sorts of compromises because the person they really need with the right balance of traits simply isn't available in sufficient supply. Back in the 50s, the dating market was lopsided in men's favor (partly due to male deaths in WW2) and that's where we saw the "Madonna-whore" dichotom…

What you'll likely find is this is an extreme and unusually self-aware example. In my experience, women who go for guys "who treat them like crap" have very low-self esteem. That's why they want a guy who treats them like crap, it confirms their self-opinion. And when they're able to win over the guy, it represents a sort of moral victory for them. But it's a neurotic and self-destructive pattern as the relationship almost always devolves into her attempting to use sex as power and the guy eithe…

What you're missing is sexual tension. It's that happy/anxious butterflies in the stomach feeling people get when they first start seeing someone. And I'm convinced it's what missing when the chemistry of a relationship begins to flatline. All sexual tension really is, is the state of arousal, without the intent. Where you're turned on, but don't make it obvious what's on your mind. That's what generates the "will we/won't we?" feeling and the anticipation. Maybe a bit of mystery too if you do i…

Don't use words, use actions. Most girls run into trouble flirting for one of three reasons: They blow hot and cold or send mixed messages, which confuses and frustrates anyone. They're way too in your face, which feels like pressure and can be awkward. They're afraid to take risks and as a result they're too clever by half. Guys don't hate hints, what they hate is hints they can't understand or seem to lead them around in circles. What's very common is for a guy to notice a hint, not know what …

Tease him. Do a slow campaign of sexual guerrilla warfare. Let the sexual tension build up over days, if not weeks until he can barely control himself. A classic trick is to tease him in situations where sex can't happen yet, like right before he leaves for work. That's how you get in someone's head for the rest of the day. Seems to me that the secret to keeping the chemistry going in a relationship is to always be stirring the pot just a little and developing a bit of a rhythm with the sexual t…

If you want a relationship with this guy you have to be a little proactive.

It's all about the eye contact. Maybe mix it up with a bit of triangular gazing (eyes, mouth, back to eyes). Then you close the distance. Either she'll pull away fast, or stay put. Don't say anything, just hold the eye contact until she pulls away or meets you halfway. Another fun trick is what I call the kiss tease.

I actually find nightgame is the worst in big cities for this exact reason. It turns into some horrible artificial competition for attention from the opposite sex where the girls play games and the guys cockblock. It stops being fun when people treat it like some ugly zero-sum competition and start throwing elbows. What I find is better is going to cool bars outside of the downtown core. Night game in the clubs is a racket. It's set up to benefit women and hinder low-status men.

Sounds to me a little bit like your preference is daygame and that's fair. Daygame has lot going for it as you point out, and if you're a good talker, it can play to your strengths. Nightgame is just different. Alcohol has a tendency to speed things up and make things more intense. Yeah the girls behave differently but if you know how to play it, same-night-lays and solid numbers can be yours. Nightgame encourages you to take risks, be polarizing, and not dawdle.

I've tried that before. Doesn't work. 0% or pretty close to 0% success rate. When you start making moves or trolling for reactions, you kill the sexual tension. Why? Because you're showing intent.

Because women are even more sensitive to and scared of rejection than guys. Ever heard the saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"? In the future, when a girl flirts with you and you don't know how to respond, just acknowledge it briefly and nicely ("that's nice/funny/cool") and carry on. This actually drives women nuts because you're neither rejecting her nor coming on to her so you become a bit of a mystery rather than that douche who ignored her.

To me, the root of masculinity is psychological independence. That's why non-neediness and even assertive expressions of it have such a powerful effect on women.

There is a difference between ignoring your emotions and indulging them. Accept how you feel. When we accept emotions, we take away their power. All emotions are temporary, and if you feels pent up, find other outlets for those emotions. Write in a journal, work out, hit on other girls. That's why this sub preaches not getting focused on one person. You catch one-itis, start trying to repress your emotions, it inevitably fails, and you shame yourself even further.

Instant mood killer.

Show, don't tell. Let your decisions communicate, not your words. In the current "meta" of dating - he who makes direct statements of intent first, loses. Women might say they want stability, simplicity, and certainty, but they really don't want these things until they've found a guy they want to lock down. What really makes them chase is mystery and intrigue which means sexual tension is everything and the cold water of sexual tension is showing, and especially verbalizing direct intent.

Either about what they want or who they're with. What it also means is that the harder you chase, the more you'll push her away. The solution is to stop caring about what she wants a…

You're not wrong OP in that you can do those things with text game, but they take skill, practice, and experience. In my experience, the best medium by far to attract a woman is in person, followed by voice, then text if you don't have a better option. Which means texting should ultimately be about setting up dates, but you don't have be to quite so laser focused on it. The trick I've found is getting to the hook point in a text convo. This happens when she's chasing you rather than the other wa…

I don't like work relationships. It adds another layer of worry and complexity to your work that you don't need, and if she has no integrity, she'll make your life hell either before or after the inevitable end. Which isn't to say I haven't gone there. But my rule of thumb is she has to put herself out there first. And if she really does want something, she will. Lead her on/play along if necessary, but she has to go there first. It also helps if the job isn't that important to you. In a serious…

You were so shocked she showed some interest that you didn't know how to respond. Stop treating it like it's a big deal - that kinda thing can and should happen all the time. She was curious about you, the right way to respond to that is to reciprocate. If she's interested, she'll play along, maybe do something different just to see how you respond. …

Acting disinterested often comes off as actually disinterested or just plain mean/rude. That works better when she already likes you/knows you and you're obviously teasing her.

It gives me no pleasure to say this, but she's setting up to play you. Real talk. When a girl starts withholding sex before you've even had it, it's a control move. Girls do it because you've signaled too much interest in getting in her pants and/or broken sexual tension. Why do girls do this?

The root of confidence is really how validated your opinion is of yourself. The more self-esteem you have, the more self-trust you have (and you only get this the hard way, by earning it), the less you need approval from others and this is what women notice. They can tell when you're unaffected by her opinion of you, and that's how they gauge male confidence. You can fake this by being unreactive, but in my experience that only just provokes shit tests which will eventually expose you. The more …

People can act or say things all over the place and it could be straight truth or utter bullshit. Decisions don't lie.

What you're doing wrong is that you're giving girls too much free attention.

Two things on this topic. Make eye contact and hold it. The longer she holds it, the more interested she is. Make approaching an intuitive thing.

You need an ego to know what's important to you and where you find meaning in life. Gives you a consistent social identity. You need an ego to understan…

Okay so it goes like this. Girls send lots of signs, some subtle, others not. Sometimes legit, sometimes exaggerated or deceptive. That's why when it comes to a girl's interest, the best cues are her decisions and actions. Flashing googly eyes or saying a few flirtatious things is cheap, going out with you not so much. So, Initiation = she makes the first move. She flirts first, touches you first, approaches you, asks you out, or flat out asks you to sleep with her. Biggest green light you can g…

Compliments are not a bad thing, the trick is to do it right. Most guys don't. The kind of compliments women like are the ones that a) feel earned, b) make her feel special, and c) make her feel sexy without breaking sexual tension (i.e. indirect). The kind she doesn't like are the ones that a) feel incongruous, b) are over the top or cliche (OMG ur so beautiful), or c) belong in the bedroom. So here's some other tips: Compliment a girl either as an icebreaker or after she's qualified herself/wo…

The explanation of Number 9 seems to conflict with the whole Models style of seduction where vulnerability is strength. But the actually rule you have seems to be in alignment. That's because non-neediness and vulnerability counterbalance each other. In fact vulnerability works against you without non-neediness because it comes across as desperate/weak/ingratiating. Give a girl nonstop vulnerability and even if she likes it, she'll put you in the friend zone every time. Having a strong identity …

My theory on harm avoidance is that it comes from high serotonin activity, not high serotonin levels. When is this the case? When your brain is low on serotonin and therefore hypersensitive. It makes even more sense if you think of it in terms of balance between serotonin and dopamine levels. A brain high in serotonin and low in dopamine is risk-embracing, positive in its outlook, more energetic and motivated and more sensitive to cues of interest and desire (i.e. reward), rather than approval a…

Feminism did a lot of damage to women. Damage that they're only just starting to take stock of now. Ultimately the big way feminism let women down was by giving women whole new scopes of freedom, and no guidance or even thought about how that freedom should be used responsibly. If we did the same thing with men, we'd see equally disastrous results, if not even worse. Freedom without personal responsibility is a recipe for entitlement, insecurity, and aimlessness.

Girls shit test because they don't really care what a guy says, they care immensely about why they say it.

Yep your issue is definitely setting boundaries. Chicks shit test you a few times and think they've got you figured out when in reality, you just didn't really care. Then you wonder why down the road they treat you like shit, and then they act surprised when you do finally set boundaries and walk away. This is what happens when you don't set boundaries properly and go along to get along. Girls think you're weak and soon the only way to prove them wrong is to ditch them.

Your issue likely lies in setting boundaries. This is one of the hallmark "nice guy" traits, and one of the hardest to break. The reason why it's so hard to break is because setting boundaries is a risk. She could just blow you off, and then your only option is to walk away, or be her bitch.

"You seem old" is a shit test you're falling into. 30 isn't old in the grand scheme of things, in fact early-mid 30s are the perfect age for 20-something girls who are into older men (and they are many).

That wasn't a shit test. A shit test is where a girl tries to put you on the spot to see if she can trigger your insecurities. My best read on what she said is it was just her way of saying she wasn't really into that guy. She probably felt an awkward twinge chatting up another guy, then coming back to sit with you, and didn't want you to get jelly. When it comes to reading the meaning behind the things girls say, the simplest interpretation is most likely the best one.

Direct openers are when you show interest, not intent. You walk up to a girl, say "hey let's go back to my place", and mean it - 99/100 times you'll get rejected and often harshly. Whereas if you opened with a gentle compliment or even something as cliche as "I thought you were cute and I wanted to say hi", you'll do better. Especially with the girls that respond to an initial show of interest.

The secret to getting girls to chase is to express your sexuality indirectly through flirting. The two main types are teasing and leading.

It didn't speak to inner game, and girls got wise to many of the more obvious canned lines and tactics. That's one of the big takeaways from The Game is sure early wins can do wonders for your mindset but it's all superficial and comes crashing down as soon as things get tough or weird. Mark Manson came around and blew all the other PUAs out of the water with Models. The problem is a lot of his s…

Because it touches on the un-PC truth that women generally prefer to chase rather than to be chased. Or they prefer to chase first and then be chased. That they're more comfortable in a relationship where they're the more invested party, rather than the guy. Either way, as a general rule direct sexual interest doesn't go over well with women, they want to want a guy a little first. For many women, this sounds like pain and humiliation because it makes them think of chasing guys who weren't that …

This. It isn't like women are asexual until you turn them on, it's more like they repress their sexuality to prevent themselves from making mistakes. This is another reason why leading with your dick doesn't work - even if she responds to it some level, all it'll mean is her walls clamp down even harder. Gushing about celebrities is actually pretty safe for girls because the odds of something actually happening between her and that celebrity are nil. They also like to idealize and fantasize abou…

This. I actually do believe the sexual marketplace is tipped against most guys these days and there's a variety of reasons for that. Could women help restore balance by changing certain attitudes? Sure. But for the individual guy the way things are is just the way things are, and the only really worthwhile thing to do is adapt and overcome. Blaming others fixes nothing.

A big dick doesn't get you laid. Women only care about the size of your package (to the extent that they do) once they're already getting physical with you. Then it's a selling feature more likely to keep them coming around. Or, you hook up with a girl and she tells her friends. But you kinda need to sleep with her first in order for that possibility. One thing you need to accept is that most women need to be emotionally attracted to someone before they can be sexually attracted. So trying to us…

Seduction is best described as a more specific form of charisma, or the ability to influence the emotions of others by projecting your own. Ironically, there's four main tools to seduction, and they're the same for women as they are for men, because we actually all want the same things, just not in the same way. So the styles and finer details vary widely, but the core palette of emotions are the same: The ability to project high status and confidence through assertive displays of non-neediness.…

You're tall, not ugly, and have a decent to above average lifestyle. On paper you should have no issues getting female attention. You probably have a pattern where girls show initial interest in you, sometimes a lot, and then they slowly tail off and either ghost or just shoot you down with unusual abruptness or bitterness to it. If that's the case, then the likely answer is you're too needy and you're taking them far too seriously. That's why goofy funny guys get laid. They don't take women ser…

If you can't make and hold eye contact with a girl, she'll have trouble viewing you as sexually attractive, even if she already does - that's how important it is. The key to successfully escalating is making sexual affection a gift, not a demand. When she has to earn or justify your attention, interest, and praise she's already primed to see you as a person of value and everything else about you. Women think holistically. The basic flirtation is the tease. There's countless formulas and variatio…

There's nothing really for me left to say. Seizing on her telling you about her plans as a reason to play it cool is simply a mistake and wrong. You're overthinking it. All you need to do is say "hey wanna go grab a drink sometime?" There's about a 90% chance she'll say yes given the signs she's dropping (volunteering that she was single was huge, she might as well have asked if you were). Just nut up and ask the damn girl out.

Women only have more power than you if you want them more than they want you. Now, when you first approach a girl, that's likely to be the case, as she's likely not sexually attracted to you unless she's been sending you massive approach signals. But as soon as it becomes clear you're part of the small percentage of guys who have the right stuff (and they invariably have options), the dynamic turns on a dime. And often it doesn't take much. That's why you hear stories of ordinary guys going home…

You can just go up and straight proposition him. Guys are surprisingly receptive to the blunt approach provided they're attracted to you and don't have a good reason not to. Most girls don't do that because if you lead with sexual favors, you're in a shitty negotiating position for a future relationship, similar to a guy in the friend zone. And they're also often worried about guys talking and getting a rep for being easy. But if you're not worried about either of those things then just go for i…

Sure give her more attention, but make her work for it. Don't just give her attention - that's what she doesn't want. Tease her, flirt with her, give her compliance tests. Women want to earn your attention, not just be given it like some kind of bribe to get her into bed.

Sounds like you don't understand either philosophy too well. For instance, conceal your intentions in a dating context means that you don't tell her right off the bat that you want to sleep with her. Girls aren't stupid and they know that guys don't approach them just to shoot the shit, but that doesn't mean you should be obvious either. And vulnerability just means that when a girl has earned it and wants it, you let your guard down a little and tell her what you really think and feel. It doesn…

Then it sounds like your beef is with your chosen meaning of the word "seduction", not with anything I said. To me seduction is about persuasion and playing the flirting game that men and women secretly love to play. If you're bribing, coercing, manipulating, or otherwise conning women into bed, if you're even thinking about doing those things, you're doing something wrong.

You took her home because you were saying stupid shit.

Tinder is a hookup app. Of course its gonna be shallow and superficial, and the girls will be primed to get down with hot guys.

It's not needy to escalate when she's making herself available and happily playing along. It's actually needier not to in some circumstances, because it's pussy and expecting her to do all the work.

A lot of guys fuck this up right around now because they get all needy and obsessive and scare her off. I've both seen it and done it. The issue guys have is the prior relationship.

Could be just a coincidence, could not be. Do not try too hard. If she wants you, it's totally unnecessary and counterproductive. Showing off the girls you're hanging out with on social media is one thing. Waving other girls right in front of your ex's face is transparent and tryhard and will have the opposite effect.
/r/seduction29/04/19 05:35 PM

You're trying to rationalize try-hard behavior. It's natural, but it's not a temptation to get into. If you want to sleep with her again, your best bet is to be cool, give her some space, and some time to see you just as a guy again, rather than that guy she just dumped. And especially don't wave other girls in her face, she'll see right through it like almost everyone else does. In the short run, you need to give up on her or else I can guarantee it's not going to happen.

You only think she's at stage 2, but she's really at stage 4-5. It can happen, especially if she already wants to get laid and is just looking for any acceptable guy. If you're hooking up with girls inside of an hour, either you're a legit rockstar or it's fool's mate (actually still the same thing).

Honestly dude, that just sounds silly to me. Sure escalation is good, and some girls will play ball in the right context, but nonstop escalation doesn't really work outside of a club and you're screening for same-night-lays. You just turn off a lot of girls that otherwise would be into you if you were just a little more patient.

It doesn't have to be slow. Girls still go through these stages, even if it only takes minutes (and sometimes that is all it takes, especially she's buzzed, horny, and thinks you're cute). As for your sitch, well you dropped the ball. A girl's gotta be really into you if you don't text her for a week. She's probably fallen back to Stage 2 because you didn't keep the momentum going and successfully escalate. Re-engage with her in person if you can and get the wheel turning again, then ask her out…

I've just noticed that every sorta relationship I have with a woman follows this pattern where there's visible spikes in her interest level and changes in her approach to you as you move through the stages. Sometimes they skip a few steps or move quickly or get stuck, but those are the way stations.

Well what do you want - to date the guy, or just get him to call you instead of the other way around? The two have totally different requirements and difficulty levels in terms of girl game. The issue with the first is that you're basically in the fuck-zone, the female equivalent of the friend-zone. Trying to change that dynamic can often be just as hard as a guy trying to get out of the friend zone. And if it's the latter, then all that's really needed is to reintroduce some sexual tension and …

A beer garden is not exactly the kind place where a girl looks for a guy to just to get her in. It would make more sense if it was a posh party for instance.

She'll call. Quit jerking off and lead this chick, don't let her lead you. Girls like this have trouble being vulnerable (you can tell by the tough assertive exterior they put up), their desire to be that way often comes out sarcastically - that's what that was about.

You're missing the point. You can touch her right away, if she's vibing the right way. What you're missing is that you need to get her chasing, and you do that through qualifying, screening, and teasing. Then when you touch her, it's congruent - she's earned it by working for your attention.

Either they're shy, not interested enough, or you're moving too fast. Either way, the answer is likely the same - you're not attracting them in the right way. Girls need to feel like they're earning your interest, and you're not just giving it to them. That's why qualifying, screening, and teasing is so important.
