All these “tactics” to get relationships/sex is bogus. Why? Sure, they *might* work, but think about it. You had to *learn* that behavior, which means, it isn’t you. You can’t be someone else forever, at some point you’ll get tired of it and lose the behavior. Or it’ll have a profound psychological effect on you. If you stop being that person, you’ll lose the person you “got” with that behavior, leading to you feeling heartbroken in the long run. That person was in love with/attracted to that *other* person you were, not you. Trust me, those games and manipulation never work. The principle applies to nice guys too. They’re nice to get something in return. Reasons this doesn’t work? One, you’re being nice just to get something back. Being nice shouldn’t be transactional. Sex and relationships aren’t transactional either. You should be nice without expecting anything in return. For example, if I wanna be nice, then I do it. No question. Before I do anything that’s kind I ask myself if I’m doing this for being nice or if I want anything in return. The point of all this? Be yourself. Seriously. Don’t be someone else just to attract someone. Relationships and sex are just a fraction of all life has to offer. There’s no point in changing everything about you just for that. Human beings weren’t meant to be clones of each other. There’s only one copy of you, just one sequence of nucleic acids that’s you. So act like that. Just be you. And for the girlfriend part, I’ll tell you, chicks absolutely DIG authenticity. It’s the easy way to get a girl, rather than playing games any being someone who you’re not. Have a good day. Bye.
