This has been something I have been trying to study for a while now: what girl game is, and why some women have it a lot easier than others to be able to get the men they desire.

A lot of these women who were able to get the man they desired were not particularly intelligent, not conventionally beautiful by any means, or particularly gifted in any other areas. It perplexed me for a few years because I kept thinking I was the package: educated, lucrative career, dressed well, polite, generous, helpful -- I wanted so desperately to fall in love but it barely happened with the people I wanted it to.

I've lurked here for a while and there's a very interesting trend that we all shift to: make him your captain, have him lead, be dutiful to his needs and reciprocate, etc etc. However, there's a lot more to this that can make it more fulfilling. A lot more than the blase instruction of, "feed him, be pleasant, get hobbies, bring him the problem".

There's something in men that I am starting to understand that's a hero complex. I always knew it was there -- many of the women they fell hard for always had this "damsel in distress" vibe about them. However, in the past few months, I have quickly understood the stark differences of a perpetual damsel in distress and a woman who can trigger that protective instinct in a man.

I was reading this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedPillWomen/comments/2qw3ya/ive_noticed_that_men_treat_me_differently_what/ And wondered about the women who have had a lot of success being able to trigger that protective nature of a man. And if they have, where can I find more information about it? More information on the psychology of this part of what a man, to better understand it, to better coax it to come out by means of verbal, physical, or social cues?

I noticed in the thread that it mentions All the Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right -- after briefly paging through it, it looks more like a guideline of how to let your man lead, but not to discover where his little Sir Lancelot lives, and how to signal to let him know it's okay to come out.

There's not a lot of material out there that depicts this nature in men -- it's dressed in ambiguities and obvious statements, with no real direction or substance. But it is something I know and have seen succeed time and time again.

Ladies, do you know what and where to find this? Have you done any psychological diving and observed your own body language, and what made them more receptive to specific cues (looking up at them, or in the thread's case -- making yourself physically below them to trigger that protective instinct)?
