Dating: competitive manipulation

True words from Violent Acres:

The truth is women love to compete with other women. Women want to win men over. They want to be chosen by a man who could have any girl he wants. No woman of caliber wants to win a man by default.She wants her man to be a prize, a good catch, someone she can be proudof. When you tell a woman that her significant other is handsome orintelligent, she’ll likely beam with self satisfaction. Incomplimenting her man, you’ve complimented her. You have told her, inso many words, that she is capable of attracting a quality mate. Thewomen who rail against this usually have a low self esteem and thusavoid competition because they fear they’ll always fail….or they’reugly. You pick.

Too many men fail to realize this when they're in pursuit of a lady. Guys, you need to have your game on, and you need to be aware that the way to attract a lady is to sell the whole package as a hard-to-get exclusive.

And, of course, a lot of guys need to take showers more frequently as well. But that's a level of coaching I'm not willing to do.
