Attraction isn't a choice. So trying to negotiate it through "communication" simply won't be as effective as dread game. Women are more attracted to men other women want, so a man who shows he is unnafected by one women and can simply go out and replace her in a heartbeat is more likely to spike her attraction and interest levels than if he begged and pleaded with her to "work it out". At least with dread game the man doesn't sacrifice his dignity.

Dread game works for those reasons. Attraction for men is a switch, but for women its more like a dial. Actions you take that show how desirable you are will yield a higher return of investment than asking her for her attraction back. It simply doesn't work that way.
