Hello, everyone. An important rule of life revolving around the cushioning of a woman's ego is that complements make her feel special. Now, as most people in this sub already understand the sometimes useful and the sometimes detrimental aspects of compliments, there is another word that trumps compliments. That word is called criticism.

Criticism, "the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes" (Oxford Dictionary), is an ability that should always be respected on the tool belt of life skills. As you all may know, criticism is the opposite of compliments. Compliments push past the criticisms to give another the reason to feel special. Now, a woman who feels special boosts her own confidence and singlehandedly views her SMV as higher than others would agree. Handing out compliments to a woman gives her the security to look towards that "nice guy" for more validation as this "pillar of a woman who deserves the world". This false sense of high SMV eventually turns solid as they come to expect everyone to compliment her as the "nice guy" does.

Right there that "nice guy" is only viewed as her source of compliments. She has no desire to be with that "nice guy", and why would she. He already views her as someone greater than himself, which would mean she is given a higher SMV than him - and we all know that high SMV women don't play down the scale unless they've hit the wall, so he's out of the picture.

All of a sudden we've got this random guy named Chad over here who meets the same woman at a bar or club when she's with her friend the "nice guy" and some other cream puffs. In her mind, she sees another man who is probably caught up in her beauty that her friend the "nice guy" tells her about, so naturally she's expecting some service or compliment to reassure herself. Only this time she does not get a compliment, she gets a critical remark coming from Chad.

Chad, on the other hand, knows he has a high SMV. He lifts, is educated, and has a sweet pad to rest after a long day. He sees her outlandish tiger dress she has on and he makes a wise crack along the lines of Africa and the wilderness. Chad is just being honest, amusing himself in a way that is playful, however this chick isn't having any of that and flips out.

The chick starts to curse, gets red in the face, and immediately throws back questions to "clarify what you mean". We've all been there, an accidental critical remark back in our beta days where this princess begins to belittle who you are and demands you clarify you're position. And, expectedly, we would all say "I'm sorry", or "I meant yadayadayada", to which she jumps back onto her pedestal.

Chad, meanwhile, meant exactly what he said. His remark was funny and playful enough to be accepted by most functioning people, so he does not mass produce apologies and clarifying statements like an assembly line. He holds frame and stands by what he said. The "nice guy" promptly attacks Chad and compliments the princess for him. The princess is ignoring the guy and focusing all of her attention on Chad, her competition. Chad demonstrated that he isn't swooned by her false SMV and displays his own SMV that begins to challenge hers.

While Chad holds his amused frame, the princess begins to soften, crack under the pressure of what real high SMV will do and starts to act friendly towards Chad. Chad continues his frame and asserts his claim over the princess, to which he eventually makes her submit to him in the bedroom.

--Now, that wall of text is obviously a bit over dramatic in the last part as I am still adopting the TRP lifestyle, but the message still holds true. Chad is seen as special now that he challenged the princess, therefore she has to maneuver herself to force Chad to validate herself, which immediately makes Chad's SMV higher in her eyes than the "nice guy's" ever was. In summation, being critical forces other people to view you as special compared to always viewing themselves as special. When they view you as special, they will try and challenge you to submit to them. Be your own person and live for yourself.
