Bluepillers seem to live in an ideal world where people fully appreciate the value of what they have and never take it for granted.
Other people living in the real world realise this simply isn't the case.
People will never appreciate anything they haven't worked for.
If a homeless man on the street were to be handed a million dollars, that homeless man doesn't truly understand the value of the money, because he never had to work for it. He takes it for granted and sure enough awhile later he ends up sleeping under the same bridge again. Another thing is he doesn't truly believe he deserves the money. Subconsciously he doesn't feel entitled to it and tries to get rid of it as fast as possible.
This same principle applies to people buying a car. http://www.cracked.com/article_21442_5-insider-tips-not-getting-screwed-by-car-salesmen_p2.html
A survey found that 90 percent of consumers would be more excited about buying a car if it was a haggle-free experience. This dovetails nicely with the desperately emerging trend of "no-haggle" car sales, which is exactly what it sounds like: the price of the car is set, there's no negotiation, take it or leave it. So if customers hate haggling, and dealers know they hate it, why does it continue?
Well, it's kind of a self-perpetuating thing -- remember, the customers have been taught over the course of decades to assume that they're getting screwed if they take the advertised price. So if the dealer says, "Let's not haggle!" a large percentage of customers nod and say, "Ah, yes, it's the infamous 'no haggle' haggling technique! Well played, sir!"
This isn't a hypothetical for me -- I ran a no-haggle dealership for a while, and while the survey claims that 90 percent of customers want haggle-free buying, approximately 100 percent of customers insisted on freaking haggling. It wasn't like the prices were so inflated that they felt forced into it -- I marked all the cars below the Edmunds TMV and below what people were frequently paying at other dealerships. It didn't matter -- the dealership ultimately closed simply because customers could not accept at face value that I was offering them a good deal.
And some people just seem to like playing the game. Not long ago, I had a gentleman on the lot, and after several hours with him, we had negotiated a good price on a car. Just as were getting ready to close, he informed me that a competing dealership had quoted him the same car for less money. When I looked at the quote, I pointed out the aforementioned fine print that said "all incentives applied," but he insisted that the other dealer had promised he could use both the cash-back bonus and the 0 percent interest. Even after I showed him that all dealerships were strictly forbidden from doing that, he decided to check out, but promised that if it turned out to be a scam, he would come back.
I checked a few days later and saw that this guy wound up buying the car from the other dealer for $200 more than we had been offering, just so he wouldn't have to come back and admit he was wrong. Why? Did he think I was going to mock him for it, or that I wouldn't honor our original agreement as punishment? Fuck no, I don't care about that, I wanted to sell the damn car! On top of that, he just reinforced a shitty sales technique while disincentivizing someone for being up front and honest.
That's kind of the way these things go -- it's hard to get people to stop playing games, as long as there's still someone out there who's sure they can "win."
Now how does this apply to girls?
I don't want to brag here, but I consider myself a fairly good catch according to societal standards.

So why is it that I have to play 'games' with girls? Is it because I'm massively insecure that they'd reject me if I don't?
It's actually because I realise I'm the million dollars given to the homeless guy. If I were to be too easy for a girl and not play games. She doesn't have to work for me. She's simply not going to appreciate me and like the person buying the car, go to another dealership for the exact same vehicle with the only difference being she does have to 'work' for that one.
I'm not saying that there aren't highly enlightened people in the world that recognize a million dollars when they see it, but just don't assume the majority of girls aged 18-26 are like this. Human psychology places higher value on things they worked for and that are slightly out of reach. Granted this isn't ideal, but it is what it is.
So guys, give her the fun of working for you and winning you over. You're not doing it out of insecurity, you're doing it for her!
Cancell dates last-minute, let her know you're seeing other girls and ignore her. Give her the 'haggle-experience' after all she's the one that wants it.
