Below is an excerpt from the book I'm currently reading (The Best of Roosh, Vol1) which I liked very much (the excerpt) and wanted to share it with you. Even the title of this post (from the ebook) made me think and I believe it's very true.
The Game Balance
* Be confident, but not arrogant. * Be a lovable jerk, but not an insufferable asshole. * Be charming, but don’t go out of your way to please her. * Put in effort to make it work, but don’t force it. * Be warm, but not needy. * Be funny, but not an entertainer. * Demand respect, but don’t be angry. * Lead the conversation by being chatty, but let her talk too. * Seek quality, but be realistic. * Be polished, but don’t come across as rehearsed. * Be persistent, but don’t be desperate. * Learn from other guys, but be your own man.
When getting into the game you will be bouncing from one extreme to the other, usually from being overly nice to being an asshole, from being shy and quiet to talking for the sake of talking, but your results won’t be highest until you tread the middle where you’re both an empathetic human and a primal animal.
