I was trying to work this out for my writing, but I know I have some blind spots.

There are obvious "bro code" answers here that folks that know nothing about the realities of pick up will just fill in - but there are definitely things that are not obvious, unless you've been in the scene for a while.

@West_Indian_Archie,

I wrote an article a year or so back that answers some of these:


But I could still add a lot more on top of that.

As far as what they want... it depends on the girl and the situation. All girls want attention & validation. Some have bigger appetites for it than others.

Some girls legitimately want money and stuff from men. But a lot of those girls want that stuff because, for them, it is how they feel validated ("If a man won't pay for me, that means he doesn't value me", etc.), often due to how they grew up -- their mother driving it into their skulls since childhood that "You've got to find a rich man" "Don't fall for boys who don't value you properly" and so on.

Women will use girl game to get whatever form of validation they prize (a man's undivided attention, a man's proclamations of attraction, a man's resources) for the lowest price possible. How little must she do to get what she wants from him?

When they don't get what they want, depending on how bad they want it and how attainable it seems, they may:

  1. Shrug and move on (don't want it that bad so don't care how attainable it is or isn't)
  2. Auto-reject (want it bad + don't believe it's attainable), or
  3. Step up their efforts and even chase (want it bad + do believe it's attainable).

One thing you do not usually see girls using girl game for is sex. Even if she's a nympho, she doesn't normally need game to get sex. Even from guys she really likes. Getting sex is easy. What she will use the girl game for is to get more attention and validation from the guy before sex, and to draw things out without the guy giving up, so she has more time to vet and evaluate him and decide if she really does want sex with this guy.

When they get what they want, typically what is going to happen is it fills up their validation tank.

I wrote a newsletter to the Girls Chase audience in 2018 that talked about the tank:

validation-tank.png


If the tank is too empty, she will work hard to get it filled up. The fuller it gets, the less hard she will work. If it reaches 'full', she basically doesn't care about men at all for a while until the meter drops back down again. This is why super sexy girls in flashy dresses at sausage fest mega clubs are so difficult to game... their validation tanks are totally full. You have to neg them, get preselection from a really hot girl in front of them while ignoring them, or use other tech to drain validation out of their validation tank before they will even care to begin trying to girl-game you (for more validation).

The more valuable the man is to her, the more valuable his validation is for her tank and the more she wants it. A highly valuable man (or at least one she has deemed highly valuable for whatever reason) ignoring her can actually be enough to empty her tank out a fair bit and get her chasing him.

A lot of guys now are worried about women getting über-validated by social media and dating apps. These are low quality sources of validation for women and don't even get them above the midway point on the validation tank. 1 million social media followers on her account are zero concern to a guy whose value is on-lock, assuming he is meeting her in person and not on an app (whither he will face the same "how do I be more than just another follower/fan so she REALLY starts to value MY validation?" problem).

...

Hope this response wasn't too disjointed.

It's a great topic!

I'd be intrigued to see your writing on it once you're done (curious to see what other guys respond to this topic with too).

Gee better put that post on top of the board somewhere Chase
Agreed

Slightly off-topic, but I also think it'd be a good idea to make a lot of the better newsletter emails into articles @Chase . They're really good quality and it's harder to find and reread them if they're muddled in my email somewhere.

( I'm guessing the reason they aren't on the website is to incentivize people to sign up for the email list. In that case, I think it'd be cool to add an link that takes you to a website with all the newsletters there so they're easier to find. You could only get that link if you signed up, so the incentive is still there. )

Just a thought

  1. What do they want?
    1. Generally?
Security, men typically want respect women security seduction 101 (obviously no talking about druggies or alcoholics but even those)
    1. Specifically?
As i said security, security could be manifested in many ways such as financial, being able to take care of her offspring, or it could be avoiding to lose you... Women game is containment, they want to take you off the market, even when they have you they want to take the risk of you being able to replace them that is why they do the betatization attempts....
    1. All the time?
security
  • How do they get it?
Look good women currency is looks, to take you out of the market, destroy competition and betatization attempts once they have you... They can achieve this many ways, sex, selling madona, bait and switch etc...
  • What happens when they don't?
They either get in line and stay, or get frustrated and leave or yes autoreject...
  • What happens when they do?
they take you off the market...
I was trying to work this out for my writing, but I know I have some blind spots.
no that deep, simple.... Like i don't give a shit about validation...
 
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

@Skills,

That's an interesting perspective.

I have security as part of my relationships model... can't believe I never thought about it in seduction.

If you frame it as "women want security", then all validation is is her looking for "signals that she is safe":

  • "Whew! Guys want me. I can relax."
  • "Whew! I'm part of the group. Now I'm safe."
  • "Whew! Okay. That high value guy is pursuing me. I won't have to be alone or stuck with low value guys."

Just these different indicators that reassure them that yes, you are safe.

It also makes it click why broken women, BPD chicks, LSE girls, etc., are so validation-hungry and so easy to seduce with takeaways, push-pull, and related. These are all women who feel deep insecurity, and are hungrier for anything that will make them feel more secure. Because they never truly believe they're secure, it's also a lot easier to remove security (at which point, because they need more security again, they are easier to seduce).

Meanwhile the very confident chicks with high self-esteem who seek far less validation... well, they are seeking less security. They already feel secure. They don't need as much attention, as many signals, from as many different guys or people.

It even explains why women are so desperate for validation with an empty tank (they feel very unsafe and need signs they can feel secure) and why they're so blasé with a full tank (feel totally secure; who needs more from men right now?).

(technically you could probably just throw out the concept of 'validation' and replace it with 'women seeking security / signs they are secure')

Awesome insight!

Organizing the archive of past newsletters I have written is one of those monumental tasks that I have been trying to get myself to do for nearly 10 years now.

I have tried doing it myself, tried paying people to do it (they always start off excited, then quit), tried everything I can think of.

We'll do it someday... when we've got so much money coming in that I can hire a skilled, enthusiastic project manager to project manage all the projects we need to do but that I hate and don't want to do myself 😎

What i mean by security again different factors... women are very risk adverse

Security is this guy safe and not a creeper...he ain't going to beat me or kill me

Security.- if i do a long term or date him i will not get my heart broken..

Security.- i am horny if i fuck him is he actually be good in bed or just bust in 2 seconds..

Security.- if i date this dude will he be able to take me out on dates and give me a good time or is he broke...

Security.- if this guy bust inside can he provide for kids...

Security.- will he be financially stable. More important this one for girls of 3rd world no money... But money is an honest signal...

Actually second gen Teevester/cosy actually verbally addresses that, i also do subcommunications addressesing all that for her to project on that to me...

Validation look at me look at me attention whoring... for me is irrelevant..Here is my natural friend fastlife on validation, i totally agree:

"A lot of guys worry about ‘getting used for validation’ or caught up on the idea that girls will think they’re beta.

But validation is a necessary part of seduction—whether it’s expressing desire, rewarding compliance, or even initiating. And, if you don’t end up getting the girl, it’s not like you lost anything.”

A girl "out for validation" cannot be substituted for a girl "out for security" is two totally different things....

Yeah, of course all of those. You can add others to that list:

  • Is this guy going to cling onto me and scare off other guys I like/am considering?
  • If I fuck this guy now is it going to make him not like me and never see me again?
  • If I fuck this guy and fall in love am I going to find out he is the WRONG guy to be attached to?
  • If I fuck this guy is my boyfriend/husband/guy I like but haven’t hooked up with yet going to find out?
  • If I let this guy hang around is he going to get me too carried away and make my friends think I’m a slut?

Plenty more too.

Actually second gen Teevester/cosy actually verbally addresses that, i also do subcommunications addressesing all that for her to project on that to me...

You have to. A lot of seduction is just reassuring girls they don't have to be skittish with you or else her walls don't come down and you don't get the girl.

Validation look at me look at me attention whoring... for me is irrelevant..Here is my natural friend fastlife on validation, i totally agree:

I disagree; it’s the same thing. Validation-seeking comes from a sense of insecurity. It is just another form of security-seeking:

  • Are men going to ignore me and not value me?
  • Is XYZ guy going to stop pursuing me and turn his attentions onto [other girl]?
  • Do I attract the high-value men too or am I only attracting low-value losers?
  • Will people ignore me or exclude/reject me from the group?
  • Is this guy going to lose interest in me and treat me like any other girl?
  • Is this guy not going to value me enough to pay for things for me?
  • Is this guy not going to value me enough to qualify himself to me?

Etc. It is all fear/insecurity-based.

When she is “over-validated”, that’s the same as saying she’s totally secure.

Imagine this girl:

  1. Every guy in the club loves her.
  2. High status guys are buying her drinks.
  3. Every guy she talks to qualifies himself to her.
  4. Guys are asking her out non-stop and she is graciously declining.
  5. She is single, but not horny, and not desperate for a boyfriend.

In this state (totally validated, with no major unmet needs), she is not feeling insecure about men at all.

If you approach her as just another guy, she is NOT thinking:

  • Is he going to fuck me and leave?
  • Is he going to cling onto me and scare off other guys I like?
  • Is he a broke guy I might get attached to before I realize it?

She isn’t thinking that because she isn’t evaluating you. She’s in a place of total validation/security; men all love her, all bend to her whims, and you are a man; you are just one of the same. Another admirer she can feel secure of.

There is nothing else she needs from a man right now.

You have to start running game to shake her out of that — chatting up other girls around her while mostly ignoring her, or negging her, or treating her like just another person and not showing any interest at all even as every other guy is drooling all over her, etc.

Only then does she start to feel insecure (aka under-validated), because she is not having the effect on you that she has on every other guy in the club.

She starts to chase you, to chase your attention, your validation — really she is trying to feel secure again (“Okay, WHEW! I can get this guy!”). If suddenly you turn simp and start drooling over her like the other guys, GAME OVER. There is nothing else she needs from you.

On the other hand, if she is being validated left and right, but she is HORNY, then she has a need that is unmet and she is still in that insecure state.

All these guys are simping for her but none of them seems fuck-worthy.

Same if she is desperate for a boyfriend right now. She can be validated attention-wise but she is not validated in terms of having a guy she actually wants as a boyfriend.

Maybe if we want to be very rough about it we can divide it into categories:

  • Is she validated/does she feel secure that she is wanted, valued, & included socially?
  • Is she validated sexually / has she secured a guy she feels fine having sex with and not risky?
  • Is she validated via a relationship / does she feel secure in a relationship she wants/values?

I guess that would be:

  1. Social Validation/Security
  2. Sexual Validation/Security
  3. Relationship Validation/Security

I think the way you are thinking is validation = social validation only. Not relevant for PU.

That is true to an extent if she is horny or looking for a relationship. She can be very socially validated but if you don’t buy into that and just focus on seduction you can get the girl.

But even then you can’t totally ignore social validation either. Think of:

  1. Club dancer in a sexy dress dancing on a pedestal in front of a club full of thirsty guys hitting on her constantly... VERSUS

  2. The same club dancer in casual clothes browsing at a clothing shop alone mid-afternoon the next day... AND VERSUS

  3. The same club dancer in casual clothes browsing at a clothing shop a month after she quit dancing at the club and has been in total monk mode.

Is she equally easy to meet while she is shaking her butt on the pedestal in front of the drooling guys as she is the next day dressed down alone at the shop? She is going to be a lot easier to meet in one of those situations than the other, because you are dealing with a much lower level of validation.

She is going to be even easier a month after she’s quit the club and hasn’t been dosed with all that validation for a month.

Again, this is all a strain of security.

When she has 200 guys in love with her at the club, she is fully secure with men.

She doesn’t need to add another man into the mix. It doesn’t matter what you are offering… unless she is insecure for some other reason or you can make her insecure (i.e., catch her attention with a comment, then wander off and let her watch you picking up on a really hot girl at the bar while she is trapped up on the pedestal dancing for all the simps in front of her… now she is feeling insecure again / insufficiently validated).


ONE OTHER EXAMPLE

I will give you one other example:

Auto-rejection.

Let’s say you have a popular girl at the club. All the guys like her. She is validated out the ass.

You run game on her and she starts to chase. You are the only guy whose validation she really cares about now. You are the only one she feels insecure about her ability to get.

However, you take it too far. You over-game her. She is already hooked, but you start hitting on another girl right in front of her, and totally ignore her.

So she gets pissed off. She finds another guy in the club, and before you know it she is making out with this dude in visible eyeshot of you. Why is she doing that?

Sure, part of it is because she wants to flip the frame on you and take back control.

But another part of it is because she is trying to re-validate herself and feel secure again. The one guy she wanted most has rejected her (she thinks). She needs to rebuild her ego. She needs to find another guy who can validate her and make her feel secure again.

She still feels shitty though, because this guy is not you, and you have turned yourself into the only one who can truly validate her. EVEN THOUGH this new guy can make her feel totally secure that he will not fuck her and leave, that he will be discrete, that he isn’t broke, etc., she STILL wakes up in bed next to him the next day, then thinks about you and feels bitter!

The next time she sees you she is extra icy to you, because she still feels rejected and non-validated.

It doesn’t matter if other guys can make her feel secure. She feels insecure in general now because she can’t get the kind of guy she really wanted and set her heart on. She had to settle for the backup plan.

Validation = “I am secure. I can get what I want from the people I want it from. I feel safe.”

All these red pill guys complaining about girls are too validated, their egos are too big, etc., are really just saying girls feel too secure to go for a guy like me. I need girls feeling less secure!

And that is why they complain so much about Instagram and dating apps. “Girls are too validated” = “Girls are too secure and do not need me or want to evaluate me for any role.”

(and actually, these guys themselves are insufficiently validated, by WOMEN, and are feeling insecure with women, which is why they complain about it so much. There is just this infinite rabbit hole of validation-security you can go down with this stuff)

@Chase i see what the misunderstanding is, cause i had to fight a bunch of guys in my private group about semantics... So just for clarification sake...:

@West_Indian_Archie he made a post about women game, asking what is women game? obviously is common sense to get the best guy possible(perceived highest value dude)..... Then, he asked what do they want? obviously we can put a laundry list of all the things of what women want.....the disagreement is that you say that they want validation, which yes they want validation, we all do.... But that is not the ultimate thing they want, their game is as i said containment, to take you off the market, and keep the prize to themselves then mold you to her goals we call betatization for the tldr... To achieve that they use tools such as "looks" "dread game" "sex" "selling Madonna" etc... That is their game, i think we are all in agreement....

But what they ultimate want, is security is my take:

Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more

se·cu·ri·ty
/səˈkyo͝orədē/
https://www.google.com/search?sca_e...2ahUKEwij3MzRsbuGAxX178kDHUqjDVkQ3eEDegQIExAM
noun

  1. 1.
    the state of being free from danger or threat.


^ we went over some of those dangers/threats (people think is financial lol) but as i said i was not referring to financial... You and i address some of that... A lot those thread/dangers... will repeat in case people get lost:

What i mean by security again different factors... women are very risk adverse

Security is this guy safe and not a creeper...he ain't going to beat me or kill me

Security.- if i do a long term or date him i will not get my heart broken..

Security.- i am horny if i fuck him is he actually be good in bed or just bust in 2 seconds..

Security.- if i date this dude will he be able to take me out on dates and give me a good time or is he broke...

Security.- if this guy bust inside can he provide for kids...

Security.- will he be financially stable. More important this one for girls of 3rd world no money... But money is an honest signal...

Actually second gen Teevester/cosy actually verbally addresses that, i also do subcommunications addressesing all that for her to project on that to me..


The thing is validation is:

Validation​

Gaining approval, whether by seeking it or unintentionally receiving it, which boosts the ego and provides the dopamine effect. Example; when a girl wants you to follow her on Instagram just to get likes and followers; when your profile picture on Facebook gets lots of likes.

^ every one wants validation, attention/feeling of importance, but that is not what they ultimate want long term, what they want long term is security, no validation... And by the way no all women want validation, all women do want security in one way or another....

my issue with you chase you are doing some type of jujitsu mixing validation and security which are two totally different things.... (all your samples are not off, but you are mixing somehow validation and security).......

'security" is more synonymous with ""comfort" (in the old M3 model) which is broken down to 3 types:

1. Social comfort
2. Rapport-based (commonalities et al)
3. Sexual comfort

credit @Dreamer who i had translate what i am trying to say in more techy stuff....

reason is again some dude in my crew was fighting with me about not needing security to ons, and i said oh really if the girls thinks you are going to cut her into pieces next morning YOU ARE NOT GETTING LAID, that is security... People were thinking financial all along facepalm, though i explain 50 times no financial, if it was financial i would be an incel...


this notion that women have (I’m generalizing of course) women have 2 tracks running through their mind throughout their life. I don’t know what else to call it.

And the first one / track is when in their relationships they want security, stability, comfort, a future, strength, warmth, commitment. All those things. Women NEED that. Men do too. But women need that track and when they don’t have it they seek it.""""

^^^ those things isn't validation it's security / comfort based

@Chase you are making validation what is not....... The reason why i am clarifying all this, is cause we have in the community a bunch of autist and trust me, they will go around worrying about validation and fuck it all up.... I will bet my balls on this... I already spent couple of hours with actual guys that get laid, that did not understand either, calling it "semantics" .....

now if we are going to start freelancing with community terms and definitions, we are going to have a mess, whole point of terminology is to make shit simple, as a natural i used to troll terminology myself, but it provides structure and clear path....

@Skills all right I will concede to your point about autists and their overly-rigid/literal interpretations of everything :whistle:

Wasn't trying to jujitsu validation.

My assessment of validation is literally "thing people do to reassure themselves of group inclusion."

Nobody validates you = you are out of the tribe, out in the cold. Super unsafe place to be.

Women start doing ridiculous things to get validating attention, prompted by that same "panicking to move back to security" motivator.

Let me think about your perspective that it is better to discard the concept of validation entirely and focus exclusively on security.

Here's a question for you -- how do you define these three concepts in comparison to each other:

  1. Attention
  2. Validation
  3. Security

I think that the general red pill / manosphere definition of 'validation' is "This vapid attention-whoring thing girls do that if you just deprive them of it will make them chase you like crazy. NEVER VALIDATE HER unless she does what you want!"

Which IMO is a bit of a superficial definition.

But if that is the generally accepted definition, maybe you are right that it is time to discard that concept and replace it with something else, since it is totally co-opted at this point and probably less useful because of that.

I agree that 'security' is the ultimate goal. But a lot of the time women are pursuing security via attention: "If I can get this man's attention focused on me, I feel safe." (which to me is what the real / old definition of validation is: "Attention women pursue to feel included/loved/secure")

In that case, we have:

  1. Security/safety: ultimate goal of 'girl game'
  2. Attention: most common resource pursued by women in order to achieve #1 (security/safety)

Still seems easier conceptually to talk about women wanting attention than women wanting security... being that attention is generally the vehicle used to get to security (so it is what guys are most commonly seeing / dealing with).

Or maybe you actually see it that way intuitively?

Here's a question:

When you are out somewhere, and from the corner of your eye you catch a girl fishing for your attention, does your brain go, "She's feeling insecure and seeking security from me" or how are you interpreting that?

(personally, my brain is saying "Oh, she wants my attention. I wonder if it's because she's interested and wants to gauge my interest too, or if she's just in need of a self-esteem boost and wants to feel good that a hot guy like me checked her out")

  1. What do they want?

    3. All the time?
  2. How do they get it?
  3. What happens when they don't?
  4. What happens when they do?
I was trying to work this out for my writing, but I know I have some blind spots.

There are obvious "bro code" answers here that folks that know nothing about the realities of pick up will just fill in - but there are definitely things that are not obvious, unless you've been in the scene for a while.

Generally and specifically...

They want similar things men want, but it's expressed in different ways.

They want pleasure (which can be derived from attention, compliments, kissing, sex, etc.). However, since women play the pursued role in seduction, they tend to want more "active" pleasures that show effort/commitment. This is why you see a lot of women in relationships become bored/unsatisfied - the man isn't continually giving active effort, even if passively he shows a lot of signs about his commitment (helps her with the mortgage, groceries, kisses, takes her on date night, etc. all very strong signs of devotion and love but it doesn't really hit the same way a genuine seduction does).

An active effort to give her pleasure needs the man to continuously play the role of the pursuer and be sweet but also aggressive in his romantic and sexual lust for her. When he tells her she's beautiful, it should really come out in his fundamentals (facial expressions, body language, tonality, etc), in just the same way it comes out when you first approach a girl. But if he does it in a lazy way, she won't believe it and the pleasure she feels will go down.

This is why women communicate so passively with their games of "nothing" responses when you ask if they're upset. They literally ENJOY the pursuit of you continuously asking and prodding and poking, in the same way they like when men are persistent and lustful in their escalations. They not only want to feel your pursuit, they want to REALLY feel it committed and reiterated.

They derive pleasure from being the RECIPIENT of effort and GIVING results (rewarding you with blowjobs and pussy).

Whereas men derive pleasure from the EFFORT ITSELF and RECEIVING RESULTS they get from the woman giving hints, pushing, pulling, and the escalation all the way until sex. It's the same reason why women don't necessarily need to cum from sex to have a good time (that one scene from the first season of True Detective is a great example. Rust finishes in just a few strokes, but the chick has an amazing times and loses her mind from all of the sexiness of the experience; it's not a great example given he's smashing his partner/friend's wife, but it's still a good example of women enjoying sex). Whereas men are more consistently chasing the nut. This isn't to say women don't WANT to cum (of course they do), and men can't enjoy the foreplay and the sex itself, but men and women generally chase pleasure via different roads, even if it ends up at the same place.

Things that give pleasure: compliments about her body and obvious SIGNS of attraction to her body (stares, check outs, etc), passionate and deep conversation about interesting topics, fun activities (horse riding, go-carting), and sex.

Men also like these things, but we derive them MORE from results-based things (e.g., competing and winning, learning new things, discovering new things, etc). Women also can derive pleasure from these things, but it's not as powerful as it is for men.

Here's a good example: once I was having a quasi-threesome (I didn't end up fucking the third girl, just fingering her and eating her out) and while I was absolutely destroying my lover, the other girl was next to us on the couch watching and kissing me as I fucked my girl.

A few times as I was really giving it to my girl, the other chick was stroking my chest and literally moaning and gasping whenever I'd REALLY get into it and growl/moan. it was like she was having mini-orgasms just SEEING, HEARING, and FEELING me ravage this other chick in front of her.

She was deriving her pleasure from the PASSION.

Whereas with us men, when we watch porn, we don't get so much pleasure from the guy himself, but the girl's RESPONSES (i.e., her moaning and delight), because those are RESULTS that we're doing a good JOB.

Whereas for the girl, her pleasure is in the EXCITEMENT OF EFFORT. She's passively being hot/sexy/wet/tight and we're crazy for that.

In practice, it's really ALMOST the same, but it is a bit distinct.

This is a lot of what entails arousal in Chase's model (SAC) or lust in my model, LLT (love lust trust).

Women also want to be loved.

Women want to feel safety/security, yeah, and also want to belong, yeah, but those are more survival strategies, not seduction strategies (even though seduction strategies will often be ENTANGLED in survival strategies, especially up until recently with a lack of abundance via technology...but they are distinct and separate drives). Men can survive more in solitude than women on average, but men still need community also for the most part, aside from very rare exceptions. But this is just temperaments of the sexes being expressed on methods of survival; it's not the root cause of why they have different temperaments.

Men want to love.

Women want to be loved.

That's not to say women don't also want to love and men don't want to be loved, but they derive MORE from their natural tendencies.

Men want something to chase, women want to be chased. Or, to avoid the negative connotation of "chased" here, considering we're on Girls Chase, let's call it "pursued."

Just as women want to be the PURSUED on a sexual level, they also want to be the pursued/chased/receiver in ROMANCE also. In every romantic/sexual relationship, there is a dominant (pursuer) and submissive (pursued). It's just a preference of temperament.

The reason it gets so out of whack in seductions/relationships, is many men begin to subsume the role of wanting to be the pursued/loved, either out of laziness ("I'm tired of doing all the work") + a feminine temperament conditioned by so many different things (culture, family, karma, etc).

Red-pillers call the process beta-ization or whatever and it has validity, but it's not some malicious drive by women (at least in most cases), it's just a natural consequence of men eventually breaking under the pressure, cuz skill issues.

What makes it a bit complicated is that it sort of looks the other way around sometimes - women who worship the man in sex and in the relationship (he's the king of the household). They express their affection through service/servitude/obedience/submission because THAT'S HOW THEY PERCEIVE LOVE. They're just using the language they're used to and the language they value!

Whereas men speak the language of EFFORT/PROBLEM-SOLVING/RESULTS so that's how men show love (as said before, paying for the mortgage, buying groceries, etc). To men, RESULTS ARE KING. THE PROOF IS IN THE ROOF OVER OUR HEADS.

But to women, the proof is in the SERVICE. That's why you can spend 10 hours with a girl and she's not satisfied! Because you didn't really spend 10 hours with her in girl-time.

But if you're good, you can spend 1 hour with your wife and she feels happy! (I know because I do it! My wife will ask for attention, I'll talk with her deeply and completely for an hour or two then she'll straight up tell me "okay, I'm happy! Thank you, baby! You can go play games or whatever!" and be happy as a bird (and it helps when I crush her pussy, too).


You can literally think of good game as just reversing girl-game and giving her exactly what she wants - and then she'll give you what you want - either a slobbery-choking-to-death-blowjob or doting kisses and excited hugs when you come home!

So what do women want? THEY WANT TO BE LOVED!

How is love shown? Validation they are good people, compliments about personality and how they handled certain situations, time and energy spent on her and with her (vacations, date nights, or even just literally listening to her actively and intently!), a genuine smile that SHOWS HER HOW YOU FEEL AND DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE SAID.

What is love?

Just work backwards from the actual activity of love and how women respond and it becomes clear (and women say it all the time but no one fucking listens!)

Love is being seen, understood, and appreciated.

There you go. Ez pz. Thousands of years of philosophers and they couldn't figure that out.

Love and lust are DISTINCT AND SEPARATE THINGS BUT WOMEN WANT BOTH, they just happen to look really similar sometimes because women want it done in the same way - towards them, to them, in their direction, at them, SINCE THEY PLAY THE RECEIVER ROLE.

This is why you can seduce women who you have little in common with, because so long as you can show them you truly see, understand, and appreciate them, that's all they want!

That's their goal! And if you ALSO happen to trigger their lust, then they fuck you! (well ALMOST).

The last thing is trust.

They WANT to feel physically safe, sure. But that's a survival mechanism, not necessarily a seductive mechanism.

They wan to feel emotionally safe. How do they do that? This is where a lot of women's testing and watching and analyzing comes into play....

Watch this...

They dress up pretty and do all the makeup stuff (to draw sexual pursuers - LUST/PLEASURE). They do their approach invitations, escalation windows, and flirting (more receiver-role games to get you pursuing deeper and deeper into the seduction).

While they're doing that, they're also learning about you and telling you about THEM so that MAYBE they can find someone who they connect with (either because you two are similar OR because despite being different or even opposites, you can still manage to see, understand, and appreciate her).

BUT ALL THE WHILE THEY'RE DOING THESE TWO THINGS - DERIVING PLEASURE/LUST AND LOVE (which is another form of pleasure actually) - they're watching to see if they can TRUST what their eyes, ears, and nose, and mind are telling them.

Is he really this way? Is he always this way or is this just an act? Is this all he has to him or is there more? Is he being honest or lying? Is he really enjoying himself and connecting with me or is this just a way to get sex/attention? Is he really turned on by me, or is he just desperate for a warm body and anyone will do?

All of these questions come back to one quality - TRUST.

Can he be trusted? Can I BE TRUSTED or am I just a delusional chick who is ovulating or heartbroken because of a recent breakup and desperate for love?

As for men, we care much less about trust in the seduction phase UNLESS we're screening her for a girlfriend/wife role, which many men are because they don't understand how game works.

But women are always scanning for trust, even if it's a one-night thing, because of

1. Yes, physical safety
2. Emotional consistency both from you AND herself (even if she wants to get used like a whore, she still wants a nice story behind it and some feelings! Romance novels are great examples of this)

If she has trust in these things, and she'll discover that trust or lack thereof by closely scrutinizing and analyzing for inconsistencies, then she will be OPEN to building a connection (love) and engaging in pleasure together (kissing, foreplay, and sex).

Think of trust as the gatekeeper of love (connection) and pleasure (lust/sex).

So what do women want?

Love, lust, and trust.

To be loved, to be desired (which is the main way they derive pleasure), and to trust you enough to open up to these possibilities.

How they go about eliciting love and pleasure depends on the woman and their particular niche, what they know, what they don't know, etc.

All sorts of interesting combinations can happen here.

Women can be drawn to what they know/like, because it's easy to figure out, but if a guy comes along with good enough game/fundamentals and is totally different from her usual taste (whether in style, race, profession, etc), he can hit a home run and totally rock her world.

This is why every seduction is potentially so different from another. She might be a completely different woman on this day or this month or this year than she was X time before. Or she's just completely different from the other woman you went on a date with not long ago, because they really are that different.

This is where women who say "we all don't like the same thing! we can be put into some box and be made the butt of some mathematical equation!" are actually kinda right, they just don't see the overarching principles that connect most straight women. Women can like lots of different things and be attracted to different types of guys, but overall, they're all still drawn to the same pleasure structure (e.g., almost all women, even super dominant women, want to be absolutely destroyed in bed and will enjoy it FAR more than they would be the dominant one).

So, every woman is going to want love and pleasure, and they will go about it in generally the same way, but there can be moments of inconsistency (e.g., she's so horny she'll actually approach a guy or he's so far above her league she's willing to go against her natural tendencies as the pursued and be a pursuer, because the desire for pleasure trumps her natural tendencies).


What happens when they don't?

It depends. Some women give up completely and turn into rabid feminists, just like men turn into MGTOW's or incels.

Or if they're in a relationship, they're start to sulk. Some will cheat (those will bad moral character), while some who have virtuous characters will plead/communicate with the man until he fixes the problem or gives up (in which case they leave).

What happens when they do?

They're happy and want more! Until they hit the point of momentary satisfaction, as Chase points out, but eventually, they will want more. Craving is never-ending - that's its nature! It's possible she eventually wants something different, but if a guy understands the natural framework of what women want - love and pleasure and trust - then they should never really have a problem, so long as they're willing to put in the effort as well.

Wisdom + effort = happy woman

A woman's never really going to stop wanting to be loved and fucked hard. No matter what permutation of man she uses to get it (personality, race, profession, temperament, etc), she's going to end up desiring the same damn thing.

Hard dick and to be cherished.

Every problem you have with a girl in seduction OR relationship involves love, lust, or trust (or multiples at the same time).

I would go so far as to say that even women who are crazy are still manageable to a certain extent, you're just going to have to accept the moments of insanity and be willing to endure them and give the right antidote she needs [e.g., as Chase pointed out, girls who have issues might NEED you to withdraw attention/interest because then when they chase after it and you give it back to them, that's how they get their dose of pleasure (hard rough make up sex?)/love (a momentary severance then reconnection demonstrates MORE love to them)/security (trust that you're WILLING to endure hard times/inconsistencies/craziness from her, which makes her trust you)].

I'm not saying you SHOULD deal with women like that - no pussy is worth that effort - but you certainly CAN pull it off. I just don't know why you would want to....

I kinda went off there, but overall your question of

Generally, specifically, all the time - it's really (almost) all the time love, lust, and trust.

She just might be full on one thing (love from nice boyfriend) but crave another she's not getting (hard dick from badboy), but that doesn't mean she doesn't need love any more, she's just temporarily full on it, but will need it soon enough again (that's why badboys struggle with LTRs but do great with casual sex - they provide 1/3rd of the equation really well).

I would actually go so far as to say that most women want trust all the time - the cases where you see women craving chaos/instability even if there is love/lust, you're not seeing that

either

1. She isn't actually getting fucked that good or connecting with that guy very well

or

2. She doesn't have ENOUGH trust. It's weird to think about it, but she's causing issues to test the STRENGTH of the trust to see if you'll provide more so she can be EXTRA SURE. That's why girls with anxiety are so hard to date - you need to give them metric-fuck-tons of trust before they REALLY believe it.

The reason why you see so much flip-flop with women is that most men (99%?) don't know how to provide ALL THREE aspects. Most men suck at all 3, some are good at one, few are good at two, and almost none are good at all 3.

So yeah, there you go :)

I'm DEFINITELY going to turn this into an article!

I probably need to go into more detail about how this all plays out in actual game-scenarios, but that would make it a monstrous article and require a lot more writing but you should be able to work backwards with this equation and see how women's game plays out in its search for love, lust, and trust from the PURSUED perspective (e.g., when women "chase" men they still don't take the active leader role in the seduction, they just drop more hints/open up more).

tl;dr:

Women want to be loved, to be lusted after/the object of lust, and trust the man who is doing it - all from a receiver/pursued role

Men want to actively do the loving, have something to lust FOR, and be TRUSTED as they do it - all from the giver/pursuer role

Both men and women want what the other sex likes ALSO, but they tend to like their natural tendency MORE.

And what will women do to get it? Damn near anything! Lol. Hopefully they're moral about it, though. But usually it's all done from the pursued role and done passively.

@Skills all right I will concede to your point about autists and their overly-rigid/literal interpretations of everything :whistle:

Wasn't trying to jujitsu validation.

My assessment of validation is literally "thing people do to reassure themselves of group inclusion."

Nobody validates you = you are out of the tribe, out in the cold. Super unsafe place to be.

Women start doing ridiculous things to get validating attention, prompted by that same "panicking to move back to security" motivator.

Let me think about your perspective that it is better to discard the concept of validation entirely and focus exclusively on security.

Here's a question for you -- how do you define these three concepts in comparison to each other:

  1. Attention
  2. Validation
  3. Security

I think that the general red pill / manosphere definition of 'validation' is "This vapid attention-whoring thing girls do that if you just deprive them of it will make them chase you like crazy. NEVER VALIDATE HER unless she does what you want!"

Which IMO is a bit of a superficial definition.

But if that is the generally accepted definition, maybe you are right that it is time to discard that concept and replace it with something else, since it is totally co-opted at this point and probably less useful because of that.

I agree that 'security' is the ultimate goal. But a lot of the time women are pursuing security via attention: "If I can get this man's attention focused on me, I feel safe." (which to me is what the real / old definition of validation is: "Attention women pursue to feel included/loved/secure")

In that case, we have:

  1. Security/safety: ultimate goal of 'girl game'
  2. Attention: most common resource pursued by women in order to achieve #1 (security/safety)

Still seems easier conceptually to talk about women wanting attention than women wanting security... being that attention is generally the vehicle used to get to security (so it is what guys are most commonly seeing / dealing with).

Or maybe you actually see it that way intuitively?

Here's a question:

When you are out somewhere, and from the corner of your eye you catch a girl fishing for your attention, does your brain go, "She's feeling insecure and seeking security from me" or how are you interpreting that?

(personally, my brain is saying "Oh, she wants my attention. I wonder if it's because she's interested and wants to gauge my interest too, or if she's just in need of a self-esteem boost and wants to feel good that a hot guy like me checked her out")

Chase

@Chase by the way, i am not trying to nitpick or just counter for counter, i am legit, trying to understand why the ultimate goal on a women is validation (which is out of my reality vs security).... Back in the days me and teevester used to have back and forth like this once a month, though he was not as diplomatic as you... (though he was right almost 99% of the time, i did get some right about 1% )...So history probably on your side!

Again, i think i am looking at things on the view of "women game" as ltr focus vs ons focus (huge distinction).... Cause any women can get laid women don't need "game" to get laid..... So i am working on a "get high value man, keep man, destroy competition" perspective... This for me is women game for the majority of women..... No the scumbag buggy women that red pill talk about and dark women game (getting prego, like pulling from garbage condoms from rockstart, football, basketball player and putting in vagina, or fra to sue etc...)

So here is what i understand (again @Dreamer is helping me with the tech translations lol (since dreamer follows me for years so he understand what i am trying to say)...
i see this as 2 different things: Validation/approval seeking vs security/comfort seeking

So back in the pua days (og days) validation seekers were referred to LSE (low self-esteem) girls back in the day, but that is not the same as seeking ""security / comfort etc...


So for example in a ltr:

women can be dissatisfied in 1 or more of the following

1. Sexual
2. Emotional
3. Social (optics)
4.- financial
5.- boredom (you can make a case validation can bore them actually), i don't validate my mains...or minimally...

is lack of security in LTR or disvalidation?

that's why disvalidation (ie disqualification) usually works on those LSE girls (plus hired guns and exotic dancers) but disqualification / disvalidation is not the same as ''lack of security / comfort...

If one or more of those 5 variables not fulfilled -> leads to dissatisfaction in LTR -> leads to lack of comfort + security in LTR -> leads to insecurity in LTR, but i don't see that as the same as validation, maybe she feels ""disvalidated" as a person? I see validation is like when you disqualify her (neg / tease etc...) then she chased your validation, is not same as security in my eyes...

Now believe it or not another one of the names with can not mention, starts with the v, actually sees a mix of a bit of me and you....

"What women want depends on their relationship to their man. If they have a man.

If she has a man, and is sexually satisfied by him. And she is out with her friends. She is seeking validation.

If she has a man but is not sexually satisfied by him. She's seeking valdiation but is also open to being sexually attracted to someone and security (he will be discreet).

If she doesn't have a man and doesn't want one. She is seeking validation.

If she doesn't have a man and is open to one (ovulating). She is seeking to find someone sexually attractive+some comfort.

If she fucked a guy. And wants a serious relationship. She will seek security. Will he be able to provide a comfortable life for her.

If she fucks a guy and she is starting to feel insecure if he really likes her or not. She is seeking validation from you."


^ my problem again for me "women game" i am looking as the "Containment, keep men angle aka imho women game, and kill competition and be mono" (cause that is women game right??) so a lot of his scenarios i don't see as women game per se, cause again any women can get laid, any women can get attention, any women can get likes, any women can get swipes, any women can get validation......... Not any women can get their prince long term and marriage (for a reason they make fun of marriage as game over).....

for me i am operating on find awesome, desireble cool dude, get cool dude to dump all girls, get him to commit or make you his main, try to see what you can get (betatization attempts), or long term mating strategies...

This is also from captain jack somewhat related:





I think what you NAME things matters a great deal. One of the problems with innovating is you are stuck with the vocabulary of the system/environment… We have a VERY extensive vocabulary in Pick-Up.

But, I think much of it is extremely inaccurate.

LSE or Low Self-Esteem is one such word. It SEEMS to describe a personality trait (or function/behavior) but it is really not descriptive.

I’ve been telling friends/puas/students for awhile now to NOTICE how MOST of the people at bars are LSE. In EVERY instance I’ve shared it they have come back to me saying something like this, “Holy shit man! How the fuck did I miss that?”

The reason lies in the concept and the vocabulary. It has NOTHING to do with esteem.

Here’s the dictionary def:

–noun
1. a realistic respect for or favorable impression of oneself; self-respect.
2. an inordinately or exaggeratedly favorable impression of oneself.

WTF does that mean? Sure we can think we know what it means but it is so ultimately non-descriptive that when you try to dig deeper into solutions you quickly discover how meaningless it is.

There is, however, an often used phrase in The Community that is more functional and more descriptive than LSE. In fact, if I had it my way I’d say let’s strike LSE out of the Canon and just use Approval Seeking or Seeking Approval.

That’s right on the fucking money.

Everybody is Seeking Approval. And, when do you feel more approved of than when a member of the opposite sex wants to have sex with you?

Letting the girl KNOW you APPROVE OF her as a female and APPROVE OF her as a sexual being is the end-all of Sexual Framing.

Here’s the kicker.

Think about a time when you did something you felt proud of yourself about… something you really gave yourself a nice big pat on the back about. Maybe you felt great when graduated college… Got a promotion at work… Got a girl you thought was out of your league…

Now, ask yourself where did those feelings come from (literally)?

Inside you.

If you weren’t feeling them one second and you were the next second, where did they REALLY come from?

You.

So, who gave you the Approval?

You did.

If you gave yourself the Approval, who was holding the Approval away?

You were.

We’ve been conditioned by Society to get approval OUTSIDE. Of course. How else could you Mass Control everyone?

If everyone gave themselves approval they would give everyone else approval, too. This would SEVERELY reduce all other problems. People who approve of themselves DO NOT do destructive things.

(The mind, being linear, treats other people like you treat yourself and vice versa.)

On the other side, can you see that you’ve been giving yourself disapproval? And, because you’ve been disapproving of yourself it has caused an intense craving for approval inside you?

And, knowing yourself intimately, could you see how someone else (a complete stranger) would be hesitant to give you approval IF your behavior, speech, mannerisms and body language gave them the intuitive impression-feeling that you disapproved of yourself?

Could you decide (right now, as best you can) to stop disapproving of yourself?

Then, could you decide (right now, as best you can) to give yourself approval?

Could you DECIDE to do it for no reason?

Don’t do it for anyone else. Do it for yourself. Decide now to approve of yourself.

This constant seeking of happiness OUTSIDE of you is what Buddha was talking about when he said things like, “Attachment to Desire (craving) is the root of all suffering.”

Going even deeper, Buddha’s “Twelve Links of Causation” start off with Ignorance.

Ignorance of what? Ignorance that you are a complete, infinite Being already. (Even if you don’t feel like one, act like one or think like one… what separates you from knowing it is FEELINGS and THOUGHTS… relinquish those and you’re done.)

Giving yourself Approval is a NATIVE ability and it’s only a decision. Everyone can do it.

When you get your own approval back, you can approve of others fully BECAUSE of who they are, not IN SPITE of who they are.

Then, people will gravitate towards you magnetically because they sense intuitively that you ARE closer to your innate being and everyone is trying to get BACK to that state.

But, it all starts with YOU.

If you can feel Superior to someone you can feel Inferior to someone. Both are Ego functions, and they can’t exist separately.

Remember in my lay report titled ____ how I THOUGHT the girl was being bitchy? And, remember how I made the decision to quit being so smart and allow it to be other than what I thought it was…

…and it turned out to be very different?

Well, I’m going to propose that you think about, consider, ponder, contemplate the idea that MOST of the negative experiences (and even NO-GO sets) you’ve had (or imagine having) with women are due to your MISTAKING her Low Self-Approval statements and behaviors for stuff that is consistent with “Your Story.”

It’s actually pretty comical from my new viewpoint.

You put a bunch of people in the room who don’t know how to love themselves… give them a shitload of alcohol, turn up the music so loud you can’t even think (let alone talk) and then you expect them to get together…

… the fact that people DO IT every night across the world is a testament to how compelling and pervasive this need for Approval is.

Anyway, that’s a very SLIGHT and basic groundwork into the newer AA stuff I’ve been working on… this has to be understood before the processes can be taught and have an effect.

What if, instead of asking you to give yourself approval, I had asked you to give yourself some Esteem?

Not quite the same effect is it? Now, imagine developing, describing and constructing exercises to help people “get it” while using bad naming all the way through.

The entire Community’s vocabulary and conceptual framework was built haphazardly over years by guys who didn’t get it… by guys who were still trying to figure it out.

Is it any wonder it’s such a mess?

@Skills maybe this’ll help clear things up for you..

Here’s where i see validation as a form of security: a woman with men validating her is secure in that she knows she can have a man if she needs one (though at that moment she may not need one, and none of the men validating her need be viable options). This bolsters her self image and provides her with reassurance (stability, security).

A woman without this well of validation (proof she can get men if she needs one) becomes insecure. Validation doesn’t exist purely for it’s own sake, it signals value in a market, value that can be cashed in later if needed.

As an analog. Let’s say you’ve bought some asset as an investment. You’re in no rush to sell, but you regularly have dealers come a knocking making offers regardless. You feel good (secure) about this knowing that when you want to sell, you’ll have no trouble finding a buyer. You might even court conversations just to boost your ego, and make future projections. You intend to retire on the value it will bring when eventually sold.

But one day things get quiet. The phone stops ringing. Nobody’s making offers. Shit! Will I be able to sell in the future? Is this no longer a hot asset? Is this a long term thing or temporary? (you’ve become insecure). You still have no desire to sell, but you reach out to dealers anyway just to get wind of the market and demand.. (you consult a valuer to get a reappraisal on the value of your asset).

Validation is proof of validity/value. Validity can be cashed in for greater security. So by this token validation is a rudimentary form or proof of security

@Skills,

I like that note from Captain Jack. I’ve always had a little trouble with the HSE/LSE divide. Like he notes, everyone in clubs gets kind of insecure. Clubs are a huge status competition with a bunch of anonymous people whose status you are having to gauge all at once for the first time ever.

I think your definition of validation is probably different from mine.

For me, validation = “person is acknowledged/valued/reassured in whatever ways she needs that right now.”

In a club, that might be a guy paying attention to her or wanting her. Waiting in line at a Starbucks, that might be the barista acknowledging her and not ignoring her to serve other people behind her first. In a relationship, that might be the guy not blowing her off for sex or implying he’s not going to be dating her six months from now.

In each case, the more she gets what she’s looking for, she feels relieved, secure, noticed, valued, and confident. The less she gets what she’s looking for or feels like she’s bypassed/ignored, the more frantic, insecure, invisible, low value, and unconfident she feels.

The feeling of, “OMG, that hot and cool guy in the club just blew me off to talk to THAT girl? Is there something wrong with my hair? Did I do something weird?” is only separated from the feeling of, “Is my boyfriend really serious about moving to another continent and leaving me behind? But I thought he loved me? Did I have it wrong this entire relationship? Am I unloveable? Will I be alone forever?” by a matter of degree.

When I hear “I don’t care about validation”, the way I interpret that is

“I don’t care if a woman feels totally certain she has me by the balls OR feels totally panicked and out of control around me, or anywhere in between those extremes. Regardless how she feels about her level of control over what she is able to get from me, it does not change how I act or what I do one bit.”

(I assume not how you meant it, which is why I say we’re defining these differently)
