This has certainly worked for me in job interviews. The question pounding in my brain has always been: Do I really want to work for this person? (I've always insisted on meeting with the actual boss I'd be working for.)
So I see no reason why it wouldn't work in dating as well. This seems so obvious that I'm smacking my forehead right now for not seeing it earlier. Thanks for this.
Later edit: Thanks for the upvotes. I've been thinking about why I didn't see this a long time ago. I guess I just instinctively find the female form so awesomely attractive that I never thought past it. But no way would I work for a crappy boss just because I got to do it from a high-rise corner office with a panoramic view.
In other words, when it comes to the opposite sex, I've got to stop being blinded by the outer form. I'll go find some cake I can live with too.

This is a very good post and this comment made it truly click for me and explain why it would work. I am like this in job interviews and it has served me well. Will work on this with women and people in general too!

women will FEEL your willingness to walk away…
This is what wound up causing a cutie to realize I was ending the conversation to continue on my way down the sidewalk… so she asked for my phone number (which surprised both me and her) before I could get away. Ended up being the best dating partner of my life so far.

Yep, the Tony Robbins courses make you do this stuff as well. He talks a lot about how our culture is fixated on how “finding my other half” (implying you’re incomplete) and this creates a scarcity mindset that plays against you.
He talks about how relationships are meant to amplify the human experience, not add to is. Going through the MUST HAVES and MUST NOT HAVE daily so that you’re well aware of what to filter out the moment you see it and fore your attraction leads you astray.

Great post for the seduction community to see.
I can sum it up to say-
You ask girls questions that make them prove there worth to you. From here, they’ll actively try to sell themselves as a desirable being. If some of those traits are intriguing to you, than try to bring the encounter full circle.
[–]LucianU 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would replace "worth" with "compatibility". It doesn't mean she's less worthy if she doesn't have what you're looking for. You two just don't match. You can both be valuable as people but not compatible.

This usually hits people’s pride… and they’ll proceed to tell me more about them to show their somewhat interesting .
If not… than I’d walk away because clearly their too closed off and not what I’m looking for. Just makes the search easier :) thanks!
[–]Storm101xx 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Bleugh I just wanna have fun initially not tell you my 5 year plan.
I guess I’m not insecure about being interesting cause I wouldn’t feel I had to prove myself to you or anyone in response to that.
I know I’m interesting, even though I don’t spill my life story and hopes and dreams I’m good company and if someone cba to get to be patient and get to know me I figure they didn’t like me enough anyway.
[–]Amazing-Intention-11 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Well this post is directed around the subject of not doing the basic ‘man seeking her approval’.
Just by your reaction to this I can see that the method of asking you questions like that clearly weeds out what a dude isn’t looking for.
Like OP said we walk away here. I’m not going to give you my all if you can’t even tell me one thing your interested in or seeking. People generally love speaking about themselves and it’s a fairly common rapport building technique.
That’s the vibe that makes women chase you. I’m not being thirsty, I’m not being desperate, I genuinely just want to understand you a little better.
In my experience, it’s called ‘demonstrating that you’re a high valued man.’
[–]Storm101xx 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Literally just chatting about my own personal preference not to be asked questions like that not claiming that this is a bad technique for picking up women or whatever lol. Can’t claim I’ve ever chatted up a girl 😁
Thanks for saying I’m not what dudes are looking for though lol. Didn’t anyone teach you to play nicely?
[–]nolagirl79 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Hitting a woman in her pride is probably not the best way to get her to be interested. She has nothing to prove to you, and by implying she has no goals, you just come off like a jerk. Maybe try to ask a different question.
[–]Amazing-Intention-11 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Okay so fair point, you don’t want to attack someone’s character ( especially a stranger)
Though, the friendly tone of voice in person is what’s going to make this encounter not confrontational, but more of a slight challenge.
I’ll give you an example:
You know how you can say something to your friends like ‘ah fuck off’ but it’s friendly?
But that same ‘ah fuck off’ can be very confrontational with a different tone.
That’s how I approach these interactions.
“It’s not about what you say, but how you say it.”
Though, I can see how through just reading that interaction^ in your own head can sound a bit snarky.
Hope you can catch my drift now.
[–]nolagirl79 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I do, but my comment still stands. I feel like instead of challenging her, maybe you should show that you listened to her original answer and ask her questions based off of that. To me, that is a much better option, as it shows that you are a good listener and also that you are accepting of her answer. If I felt judged or challenge, or if your tone implied that I didn’t answer the question correctly, and I was made to feel embarrassed or inadequate, I wouldn’t deal with you at all after that. It sounds like a sure fire way to mess it up before it even starts.

I don't think you understand what simp means. Being a simp is highly disrespectful for yourself.
[–]WakeoftheStorm 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
I didn't say it wasn't. I said this post isn't simping or masculine, nor are those words opposites of each other except in a very broad sense.
Let me put it this way: women don't "simp" every often. Does that mean they're masculine? No. That's silly.
[–]SmokingBeneathStars 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I get what you mean, but then again the media is mainly after toxic masculinity and not toxic feminity, so I guess most people just view it through the male perspective as opposed to female like your example.
[–]WakeoftheStorm 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There's also a difference between masculinity and toxic masculinity. Men having much higher suicide rates because some guys don't feel like it's manly to talk about their feelings isn't the same thing as being confident in your self worth.
[–]LakersAreTerrible25 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
This won't work because women have easy access to sex. Even the top guys have to work to get it. So, if you're a regular guy and do this then she'll certainly never chase you. The only time she will is if an attachment is built over the course of months. Be a man and make the move
[–]Jeffcase23 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Who cares. Every guy should asking screening questions. What's the the point of being with a woman you are not compatible with or who will only use you as beta bux. Let some other fool fall on that sword.
Slowing things down and screening also has other multiple positives

Great post. I’d just like to add that another good thing about leaving girls that are not interested is that you save lots of your time, energy and emotions. I remember way back when i’d be so, so overinvested in girls that didnt feel the same. It sucks because it becomes like a drug. Like i’ve invested tons of emotions that when i saw her with another guy i’d literally start shaking, feeling like shit, i’d start crying because she was (my drug) was taken away from me in a heartbeat even though she was never even mine.
Nowadays i am very careful about how much i let girls get from me without giving anything in return such as interest towards me, intimacy, sex and such. I will never, ever give without getting back again.

This will not work in the modern age lol. You want to play hard to get? She's got 100+ guys in her DMs ready to gun her down. If you're not high value, she's not going to miss you or chase you. Let's be real here.
This will not work for average guys. I'm not saying you have to continue to chase her down and simp for her, but lets not delude ourselves into thinking that a pretty woman (most of which are career oriented women nowadays) will waste her energy chasing an average/above average guy. This only works for high value.

[–]CanadianTurt1e 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Are you white? I was wondering if you tried dating in Asian countries like China, Japan, Korea. I hate to sound creepy, but the "white fever" thing is real. I'm not a white guy so I can't really participate in that field, but I know white dudes from Canada who were in the same boat as you (not really the best looking, but got a lot of action there because of their skin color in foreign countries). If you asked me this years ago, I would've never believed it, but I have personal friends who had it rough here in dating. I tried hooking them up with my single galpals, but there was no chemistry.
But once they got jobs in countries like Japan/China, their dating life changed completely where they had girls come up to them. Let me repeat that, girls were coming up to them. Again, some of these dudes were straight-up NOT good looking at all.
The reason I bring this up is because the western dating market is intensely competitive. It's insanely brutal. I'm considered a good looking indian/brown guy and even I have a hard time keeping a girl here lol. So if you're white, it might not be a bad idea to take a trip to an Asian country and see how things go.
I have tons of gal-friends who are Chinese/Japanese immigrants, they're great girls! You guys should give them a chance.
[–]Charge36 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Yes I'm a white guy and I traveled in southeast Asia for a couple months. I did match alot with locals on Tinder but never really pursued dates with any of them....i was moving too quickly to really set anything up.
I'm not opposed to dating asian people, but it also seems like the ones here aren't quite so awestruck by white dudes since they're surrounded by them.
[–]CanadianTurt1e 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Bro, asian girls are the hardest to date because they're the most desired women statistically. No one will blame you for not being able to date a western raised Asian girl, because there's heavy competition. Asian women get swiped in favor the most on dating apps, so they're going to have incredibly high standards. Not to mention if you're black or brown(Indian), it's even harder because their families are always telling them to avoid the dark skinned dudes lol.
[–]Charge36 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Knowing your value and not simping for a girl is a trait that women are really looking to in a man because not everyone can do that. I think this is well understood among people here.
I don’t really understand what’s your alternative to this. Because you are saying having requirements won’t work but you also say not to simp. So there’s nothing left here. It’s either one or another.
but lets not delude ourselves into thinking that a pretty woman (most of which are career oriented women nowadays) will waste her energy chasing an average/above average guy
I think if she’s not gonna waste her time in the first place for an average guy then you’re not winning with that girl anyway.
Also it depends what you’re looking for. If I’d look for a relationship then there would be more requirements. Just for a hook-up? I think being smart and a decent person will do (as personality traits) for me.
So what I’m saying is that you can lose some hook-ups because of your rigurous screening but you can up or down your expectations depending on what you’re looking for. I believe as a mindset, having some respect for yourself and doing some screening it is a must for a man. I really can’t imagine having no requiremets for someone and taking everything I can get. That’s simping essentially.
[–]itsvoogle 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I also wanted to add the important thing is to try to not over value her as early as possible because once you do it a couple times its very hard to attract them even a little bit later on and then yes they wont waste their time with you anymore. I have seen the same girls date guys that are honestly, arguably not as attractive or more average looking and for some reason it worked out with them and not with me or others. Not saying i am the best looking guy but it really makes you wonder wtf did i do to fuck it up so bad and the answer is exactly what this post is trying to teach you, walk away early on and screen them so they dont end up playing with You later. If you are an average guy its not impossible if you play the right cards, you can look great and still fuck it up and simp till the end of time.
[–]australopitecul 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Agree. I don’t know why they downvote you. The whole argument with the average guy is that the only solution for them is to have boundaries and screen girls. If they start simping they lose. If anything, simping would work for the handsome guy not the other way around. But yeah, whatever for them. If they want to simp cuz they think they are average good for them. Makes no fking sense if you ask me.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
It works perfectly well and you will also be less angry/bitter once you adopt this mindset. The biggest turn-offs for women are low social status, neediness and judgmental anger. The biggest turn ones are success, confidence and a casual/fun approach to life. Really everyone likes these traits period. They do care LESS about looks than men, but its still a factor.

so men aren't attracted to cash? I'm confused? I mean... maybe I am an enigma but I love having money. isn't cash/status just as fleeting as looks? You lose all of them easily enough.
yes because its nakedly obvious by all the rich ugly men with attractive wives. You rarely see the opposite. There is also a preference for older men. You rarely see a 30 year old man dating a 40 year old women, the opposite is much more common. Sorry you have vision problems...
[–]The0rangeKind 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
why are you content with being average or above average? to even rationalize that picture you have to put her on a pedestal which means you already see yourself lower than her, regardless of her response. drop the negativity and bitter pill and have some more self respect. the problem with ops post is he’s doing this with the intent to manipulate- he wants to show her he’s not chasing her which ——>she will ben interested ——>she will chase you the problem being, as proven by the few women replies, is the men are completely transparent in doing this “power move” only to backfire on them and then they lower their value even more because they’re not doing it from a place of authenticity. they go up to a woman clearly out of their league in terms of looks but if she doesn’t open her arms for him or smile, he’s gonna walk away from her like she’s passing up on him. but he clearly didn’t show any value in the first place in her eyes otherwise he wouldn’t have to “act” tough

[–]tiger_bee 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
As a woman, this right here is 100% true. It’s not like women will automatically want you when you pretend not to like them, it’s just that we notice this particular trait in a guy, or mindset, whatever you want to call it.
I am so sensitive to other people’s attraction and when I am around a male who is not openly gay, I notice it before anyone else because I can sense this blankness coming from him, if that makes sense.
I can definitely sense that confidence and security in a man who is not there for a chance to hook up or flirt, but a man who doesn’t “need” it and can walk away. That is attractive.
[–]Hi_Panda 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
curious but are you the one who does the chasing? bc if someone is walking away, someone has to do the chasing. if both parties walk away, then a relationship doesn't happen.
[–]tiger_bee 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago* (5 children) | Copy Link
No, I don’t chase anyone, ever. If I am interested in someone, it’s in my eyes and you will know it. I look for subtleties. It’s just all about not showing your hand right away.
Life is a game and so is this. Interest is something that grows stronger over time and if you have no patience it won’t work for you. Some guys just naturally know how to make this work, others have to learn how. Women lose interest in men who are too available, too eager to please. It’s an instant turn off to me, personally. Women are attracted to personality much more than looks. You don’t have to be some GQ looking guy to snag women... if you are funny or you have lots of skills, success, confidence, etc.. that will make you extremely hot and desirable. Men always wonder why a nice looking woman is with someone considered “out of league”. It’s not because he has a big dick, or money, or some other shallow reason. Big dicks are way overrated anyway, so all you average guys be very happy with what you have. I swear there are so many men insecure about their size. I just had to say this to you men. Don’t believe the lie. Women want “average”.
Anyway....
You learn how to balance an act of interest while simultaneously not acting needy or desperate. That’s why women don’t want nice guys.... or those guys that make their woman the center of their existence . Also, don’t let the woman control you with that vagina. The minute you play that game with her, she loses respect for you... good luck recovering from that. So many men fall for that and they never get their balls back.
[–]Hi_Panda 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
you didn't answer my question. are you the one who does the chasing? bc someone has to be.
but yes, people don't like needy people regardless of gender.

The first line of my reply is answering your question.
[–]Hi_Panda 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
wow, women want "average". then you probs have average standards. you're doing men disservice by telling them they can be average and women will want them. and then they complain that they don't get women. also, you're doing yourself disservice by just going with "average" unless of course you don't want to be alone which sadly is an issue for a lot of people.
you do you of course but as a woman, I have high standards and proud of it.
[–]tiger_bee 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You know I was only referring to penis size? I have extremely high standards which means, to me, that I’m too picky for my own good. So many men think they have to have a huge dick to be worth anything in bed and that is simply not true.

I have the answer for you on how to get a woman to like you...and here it is: Show her respect.
It's as simple as that--be respectful.

Sorry bro, this is not a blue pilled dating subreddit. Respect means jack shit. Have you ever been to a downtown city? Local rappers, musicians, drug dealers, college athletes, asshole rich kids aren't exactly the type to "respect whamen" but they're getting some of the finest honies. Focus on bringing value as a man. Respect gets you nowhere

Ok, you can get women if you're hella rich too. So 1) be rich, or 2) be respectful.

Why don’t you understand this post?

Can you explain what I am not understanding?

Not without copying and pasting what everyone else has said. It’s been written and explained a dozen different ways.

I agree with the OP. Every guy should asking screening questions.
To all you guys saying it won't work, what's the the point of being with a woman you are not compatible with or who will only use you as beta bux because she can. Let some other fool fall on that sword.
Slowing things down and screening also has other multiple positives:
So honestly I don't see a down side

Wow... i just got back into the dating game and as a women...Thank you for this discussion. I really needed this life advice.
[–]DesperateForDD 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
How do you get over the hotness though?? Sure she might not meet traits like being intellectual or whatever but she could still be really hot.
I guess you really have to get 5 hot girls numbers a day to be able to filter the way you say. The problem therein is that most of us work full time and there is no time to get that many #s a day
The idea is that you won't have 5 hot girls a day UNTIL you're willing to walk away from hot girls... That's why so many guys struggle with this idea.
