You have to realize that females are incapable of critical thinking and logic.

How a woman views you as a stranger is completely different to how she views you once she is in a relationship with you.

When you are a stranger, she has no mercy or sympathy for you. Your faults will stick out and your strengths will be downplayed.

In terms of partner selection, she will just view you as a number, and it is up to you to impress her.

She will focus on 2 things: muscle and/or money. By muscle I don't necessarily mean muscle mass, I mean your body in general. As long as you are physically big enough then you pass (obviously being obese doesn't count). As for money, that requires no explanation. Nothing else you do possess during the stranger phase matters. You could be intelligent, funny, witty, fun, etc... but none of this practically matters, except for borderline cases. To imply otherwise is PUA nonsense. They are simply "soft factors." For example, if 2 guys are competing for her at the exact same time, and they are equal in terms of muscle and money, then those soft factor qualities begin to enter the equation. However, your FAULTS DO matter. For example, if you do something that is "deemed" as insecure by her, correct or not, you're out.

Once she gets into a relationship with you, she will quickly become attached. Once she is attached to you, then nothing else will matter. It doesn't matter if you are the most insecure guy in the world, she will justify it by hamstering. For example, she will say "my boyfriend is not insecure, he just does that because he loves me and doesn't want to lose me." However, if that same boyfriend did that exact same "insecure" thing as a "stranger," she would automatically knock him out of contention.

There are many case studies to back up the above: simply look at the behaviour of pretty much all girls. I remember this girl who didn't give this guy a chance because "the first time we talked, he said he excused himself to go to the washroom, and therefore he was an insecure coward." She ended up getting into a relationship with another guy, who was super insecure, who, during the "stranger" phase used his muscles to portray himself as a confident guy, but once they got in a relationship, he would monitor her every move, question her about everywhere she went and every single guy she talked to, and other super insecure stuff that are apparently a "huge turn off" to all girls. However, she ended up staying with him for over 5 years, until she finally got fed up and left.
