What is "dread game?"

Dread is something that a female feels in a relationship when she realizes that there's the potential that you might leave her.

If you're a fat, lazy, unmotivated, unwashed slob, she's got no reason to treat you with respect because you're not going anywhere.

If you're an in-shape stud that women eyeball, you're successful, etc. - your girl will know that you're appealing to other women, and if she doesn't work hard to keep you, you've got plenty of options elsewhere.

In general, you should only try to inflict dread indirectly. Don't say "I've got a lot of options" - just let her mind wander. Go somewhere without telling her where, get in shape, check out other girls - let her mind (her "hamster") do the rest, she will try to fill in the blanks, unsure on if you're looking elsewhere or not. This is "dread". She "dreads" that another, better option is or has come along and will take you away from her - which makes her more tempted to work harder to keep you.

Improving yourself and acting mysteriously are the big ways to inflict dread. Anything else are borderline nuclear options. One important part about applying dread is maintaining frame if your woman calls you on it. As long as you're not actually doing anything wrong (cheating, etc.) you have nothing to deny and nothing to apologize for.

"Dread game" varies according to where you are at in your relationship. In general, it means introducing fear of losing you to a woman with a higher SMV.

I recall a tale told around her not too long ago where a guy was trying to LTR-up a, 8.9 - 9 and she said she "wasn't sure." As it happened one of his former plates was feeling it and had sent him a split-beaver shot.

When he got "I'm not sure," he lost it and went full dark-triad on her. Showed her the picture and said, "I haven't been seeing anybody but you for NINE WEEKS. I've been OUT of the game. But I can call this girl RIGHT NOW. She's hot and an ABSOLUTE FREAK. In twenty minutes I could have her bent over the arm of this couch, taking it up the ass, and she's love EVERY SECOND OF IT. So while you're considering whether or not I'm worthy of your precious pussy, remember this: I got fucking OPTIONS!"

She quit waffling and signed of for the LTR.

This, however, is something I call "nuclear dread." I do NOT recommend it in most situations.

At the other end of the spectrum, I have what I call "married dread."

I advised a dude who was looking to add a little dread to his home life. His wife was taking him for granted. There wasn't as much sex as he'd like and she was starting to let herself go. But he was regularly lifting at the gym. So he added a weekly yoga class, because having bulked up he was "worried about his flexability."

The sex and picked right up, and she started watching her diet again. You see, yoga classes are 90% skinny women in yoga pants. In "married dread," you don't want your women to think you are cheating or about to cheat. That leads to calls to detectives and divorce lawyers. You just want them reminded that they COULD lose you to a younger, hotter, tighter girl if they don't keep their game up.

And this is Dread Game at it's most subtle.

There's a wide span of application in between.

Does that help?

Basically, having options. If chicks know that you can get another girl if they make you unhappy, they try a lot harder.
