I know that many of you have found yourselves in this situation and/or witness it since women can't help themselves.

When they try to bait a "thumbs up". Same principle as fishing. But fishing for approval, validation, attention and whatnot.

One example is when they say something like or at least insinuate (because women are "direct" and all) that the dress they're wearing is bad. That way, they're trying to get you to compliment them. "Hey, look at my dress! I'm saying it looks bad on me, so I want you to say that it's not!" I think it's also another form of the endless supply of shit tests they have at their disposal to see who's "worthy" and who's not.

But there's one I don't get and it happened to me a few times (since I only interact with women at the workplace, quit social media and I don't have the look of a supermodel) is that when they show you pictures of themselves on the phone when they were younger, fatter or slimmer. Is this the same thing?

I did ask a dude about it, and he just says "Because she wants you to give it to her" but I think that's just the wishful thinking of a blue pill man. I wanted to post this here because I know MGTOW will be direct and honest about it. I want you guys to tell me what this means (they showing me pictures of themselves on the phone) and if you can, tell me how to deal with it. Those times I had the attitude of indifference and I suffered no backlash for it.

And if you can, I want you to share your experiences when these toddlers in adult bodies are trying to fish for compliments. I wanna hear it.
