Dread game?

Imagined competition anxiety

Women use it all the time, we're merely flipping the script

Dread Game - Purposefully inciting jealousy in an LTR by openly getting attention from other women. Soft Dread is similar, but less open. With Soft Dread, the attention doesn't even need to be real. Creating the possibilty for female attention is enough to get the hamster going. (If you develop a great body, she knows that other women will find that attractive without having to actually see other women displaying interest.) The purpose of using Dread is to get the target (wife, girlfriend, plate) to step up their game to compete with other interested women.

Breaking down what /u/Reformed65 said:

The chick notices your reliance on her but not her reliance on you. It makes her feel "superior", we say it here a lot: She adds her value to the top of yours when she thinks of you two, thus lowering her attraction for you. Dread game's purpose is to fix that.

It works in two ways.
Women are highly trusting in other people's perceptions about things. They evolved to pick and they have to select quickly between suitors. One of the strategies they adopt is observing pre selection, trusting other women did this job and accounting for their conclusions.
The first way dread will work is that. When other (seemingly) valuable chicks try to flirt on you your partner will think "what am I missing?" and look at you again.

The second way is dread itself.
She feels "above" because she notices your reliance on her. When she notices you're open to other women this notion is broken, women feel disallowed when it happens. It might lead to very poor reactions though. If you come here rest assured you'll need to handle some fallout but it still will help you making things work again.

It's a normal feeling to take what you currently have for granted. Your value gets lower.

Dread, allows you to not be taken for granted, she'll be reminded of your value.

the purpose of dread game is so women don't mistreat men or run off so easily, and only works if a woman sees other women pursue you, not the other way around

So basically it's similar to the no validation jump rope game? Where you pay less attention to her and the more attention she wants from you.
