This is a neat thread. Great deep dive into the detail by Alek.
I like the A1 --> A2 --> back to A1 looping concept too. I had a buddy who used to do this with girls he picked up in lounges and nightclubs and they'd get very into him.
Requires a fair degree of calibration though. Come to think of it, I used essentially this method as a beginner, not because I knew what I was doing, but because I was shy about showing interest in girls and did not know how to escalate. So women would work themselves up into showing eventually extremely blatant interest in me. Then a little after that they'd auto-reject because I still wasn't reciprocating or escalating.
I think a lot of beginners do this, actually. It's a common pattern you'll see in field reports with newer guys.
The problem is they fail to make a calibrated transition to A3.
Just to answer a couple of questions from
@DaVinciMatrixStyle:
VALIDATION TANK TOP OFF
Validation works a little different than, say, gasoline, in how you get the tank to register as full. With gasoline, you hit the full mark when there's a specific quantity of fuel in the tank. With validation, you hit the full mark when a woman can safely conclude "I've got him."
Thus, you're able to continue showing interest in women as they show interest in you, so long as you're never going far enough beyond what they show you that they can conclude, "Ha! I've got him!" ... and so long as you never fall for faked interest and 'reciprocate' with interest that's actually greater than the girls (again, at which point she concludes, "Got 'im!").
To go back to the car salesman analogy, if you step onto the lot and the salesman says they've only got one X Car left and they're supposed to be holding it for another customer, but he'll let you take it for a drive... so long as when you show interest in the car, he matches with a little bit of "Well, maybe we could sell this to you if you were REALLY set on it, but I can't promise anything, I'd have to check," you are still going to feel the need to show more interest and secure the car. If he ever goes far BEYOND your level of interest though, and you're just showing moderate interest and he then says, "Look, if you want the car, to hell with that other guy, I'll sell it to you today," all the urgency and scarcity of the car vanishes and the odds he actually does sell it to you today dry up.
If he paces your interest the whole time though, and you reach the point where you're saying, "Hey buddy, if I can buy the car today, I'll pay you for it NOW," and he's saying, "All right, let me check. I'll make a couple of calls and get you an answer," by the time he comes back with a "yes, you can buy it" you're already bought into the sale. Actually completing the purchase and driving off your lot has become the only acceptable "Got 'im!" validation mark. To fill up the tank you have to secure the car.
This is what you're doing with matching women's interest and escalating it gradually... you are guiding her to the point where ultimately the only thing that will leave her feeling fully validated is her getting fully penetrated.
POST-SEX VALIDATION
As for relationships, see my 2010 article on commitment points:
Women have a thirst for the untameable man. That’s why the rugged, hard-living, macho guy who’s a bit of a loner and whom no one seems to understand is so exciting for women, and why the sensitive, attentive nice guy that society seems to keep wanting to shepherd men into being is so boring...

The overall gist though is that before sex (and also basically before
conversion), the woman chases the man's attention-based validation. Men who are successful at getting sex are men who are good at making women desire their complete validation, yet who deny women complete and total validation at any point prior to sex. Engaging in sex with the man is how the woman brings herself to feel fully validated by him. What most un- or under-skilled seducers do is to offer women full validation without sex.
Post-conversion, the woman is no longer chasing attention-based validation as her priority. Instead she shifts to chasing commitment-based validation. When the man does things that bring the relationship closer to commitment, she feels validated. When he does things that bring it further away from that, she feels invalidated.
Thus, the game post-conversion shifts from "I mustn't let her feel I want her attention more than she wants mine" to "I mustn't let her feel I want her commitment more than she wants mine."
And this is basically the permanent state of your game with a woman once you've converted her.
Even if you marry her, have children with her, spend 30 years with her, if you don't want her getting bored of you or losing attraction for you, she must always feel she desires commitment from you a bit more than you desire it from her.
