I'm not up on the top PUA practices for relationship game.
And I'm the last person you should ask for GF advice....*
But for me?
0)
I've yet to date a chick long term that is "too pretty" or "too sexual" or "too whatever quality"
that I cannot replace.
Old me, that had "the hottest girlfriend ever, I'll never get another chick like this" - WRT to LTR's, I replaced her 6 times with more attractive/younger/better for me chicks.
My general advice for relationship game is that a guy can't really be in a relationship where he feels he can't go back out to the streets/clubs/online and get something else. A chick is never your life.
This is where I think guys need to start. So after you knocked off about 35-40 chicks, you've got a real good sample of what's out there. *37 is specifically from the secretary problem - as cringe as that sounds - to use mathematics to make romantic decisions - I find it useful*
So when this does come up....
Most guys give in to female demands in order to keep the girl around.
- A lot of chicks leave anyway (and I don't just mean short flings and gfs, I mean wives, people you buy houses with, meet families, and have children with)
- If the chick stays, the guy is often miserable. If I fix this, it will be something tomorrow.
The blue pill response is to
communicate. Which means trying to use the language of therapy to manipulate the chick - who is in fact a master
communicator and knows how to use therapy language and has been using against the guy the whole time (Mars and Venus bs - her job is not entertaining that bs, please believe it). *Fun fact - a lot of couples therapists lose patients because the therapist agrees with the male/boyfriend/husband....
Communicate? Cave in?
Been there. Done that. I have the scars to prove it.
Now I say, fuck all that.
Let me be clear, so folks are not deluded or misinformed - My position is extreme.
My extreme position is because of the
extreme circumstance.
1) I call her on it. "I don't lie to you. I don't give you the silent treatment. I don't walk away. Do not try to gaslight or manipulate me, period."
2) Either She apologizes, or I walk.
I'm not trying to use any Jedi Mind Tricks on a chick I'm trying to "wife up".
- A guy can play all sorts of dread games.
- He can withdraw.
- He can start seeing other women, and keep his main chick.
- He can just dismiss her BS
- He can gaslight her back.
- He can cast doubt on her social ties
- etc
I'd rather be by myself than to deal with a chick that's going to make me question my sanity.
*But my take on it is extreme. Which is why you shouldn't ask me about relationship advice.
In terms of implementation, if you "stand on business" when it comes to your life - forcing people to play straight up- like all of the time - it just makes it easier to do it with chicks.
Or like we used to say, "be congruent" (yet another math term working its way into pick up)
To get on my soapbox
- Standing on business
- Being comfortable with conflict - especially initiating it, not just trying to dispel it
- And bringing a firm sense of self, asserting boundaries, calling out bad behavior
Are all key components to dealing with people, family, friends, girls you bang, and significant others.
This stuff is part of pick up, but it's not explicit. It needs to be explicit.
Being rigid from the start - expecting some random girl to always be on time -
is dumb.
Expecting your
long term relationship, the girl you share meals and your bed with, keys to your house, drives your car - that's a given.
Lemme get off my soapbox.
