So I know this girl from back in college, and we still talk a lot. She’s pretty non-judgmental so I am pretty straightforward with my ideas about women and relationships. Some of the things she had to say are pretty interesting. One of the more notable conversations we had was about control in the relationship

She said as long as a man thinks he has control, then he will be happy. Build him up and make him think he is calling all the shots. She said she never says anything negative about her boyfriend in public, unless it’s in a teasing way and not serious. She acts the role of good girlfriend in front his friends and family always deferring to him. In their private life she said she usually doesn’t make outright suggestions but through suggestion pretty much always gets him to do things her way. She said she does this by never making a statement about her stance, but listens to his stance and then by asking questions or making non-offensive comments she points out the weaknesses she leads him to her own opinion. She claims guys only need the illusion of authority to feel comfortable in a relationship. And she said when she can’t get him to change his mind, she usually asks him as a favor do go with her idea “because they always to what he chooses.”

When I told her a bit about game she laughed and told me, “Those girls are dumb as bricks to fall for that. Those aren’t girls you should want to date.” I definitely have to agree with the second part if its some random girl you are gaming at a bar or club. Unless the girl has been dragged there by her friends, chance is she has probably been around the block a few dozen times.

I was interested to hear other TRP members’ take on control in the relationship and whether it really is as she says. In my experience no girl has ever pulled that shit on me. Also, are the girls you get through game really the girls you want to consider actual relationship with? If they go for it, its more than likely they have been already been a few other alphas’ fucks unless they are pretty young.
