Repost of mine from a while back.
Abundance mentality is everything. To fully embrace and understand the power of options, you must mature through the process of not only obtaining those options, but having the ability to discard them just as easily. This mindset is paramount to avoid dependency, ONE-itis, and slipping back into Blue Pill behaviors.
We all acknowledge hypergamy and AWALT, so instead of letting her move on, branch swing, or give up and trying to lock you down and getting into a messy power struggle, be the man who NEXTs. She says something you don't like? Next. She getting boring in the bedroom? Next. Demanding favors? Next. Didn't text you back promptly? Next. She's not yours, it's just your turn. Your value should high to the point where you can get hookups/sex whenever you want. You need things from women other than that? Then you aren't at your best.
Leave no room for her to question your value. Exit your relationships at a high point as a proactive measure. A plate that gets nexted is at best put in 'reserves.' If her interest is genuine, you can return months down the road if you wish. Why fight the uphill AWALT battle of bitch management the deeper the relationship goes when you can just avoid the hill altogether and maintain your value? Keep your pipeline fresh and do not be afraid to be completely independent and free of validation. Broken plates don't spin, but they do just fine when put back in the cupboard until you wish to use them again, if at all.
Iron Rule #7 (Rollo Tomassi)
It is always time and effort better spent developing new, fresh, prospective women than it will ever be in attempting to reconstruct a failed relationship. Never root through the trash once the garbage has been dragged to the curb. You get messy, your neighbors see you do it, and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was.
Adopting this method also helps you to gauge your own criteria as to what deserves a soft or hard next. It's your time. It's your commitment. It's your life. Command it.
