I would also add that that little recipe is probably really great for getting a single and available girl.

 

I was thinking that as well, actually.

Of course, I love to shoe shop. I am a girl.

However, I do not equate relationship potential with shoe shopping, or any shopping.

I study what is available to me. I make a decision, and I try my best to value it when I have it. I KNOW I will never find that PERSON at the store again. I will value my shoe guy until the tread runs smooth...and then some.

I am all about the connection.

Then again, I have fallen victim to the 'exchange'.

Maybe I am just in the lost and found. :o

 

More than likely your just cynical and would not trust the deal that you are presented... you would go in looking for the bait and switch or some such. If any guy is really running a game on you... your going to pick that up! That is probably why you have never... ahem... traded up.

 

In honesty... it's rarely ever trading up.

 

Also... girls who tend to think of themselves as more attractive than most... are often more easily enticed. They tend to become discontented with whatever treatment they recieve with the current guy. Feel like they deserve and expect more. Especially if these girls are young and feel valued or judged based on thier appearance.

 

I'm not worried. I find the discussion facinating. I think it touches on some real issues that people have.

I tried to edit my previous repsonse to add:

edit...I have had (over years and experience) plenty of opportunities to upgrade, but the thought of that alone has always felt (to me) like a downgrade. Maybe I can't explain it well.

 

I understand... It touches on the idea behind infidelity and women. The same principles can be applied, however it takes much more work and patience, and the H has to be out in space. Even then... your chances are under 50/50.

I guess I just don't equate much difference between being able to steal a girlfriend and later being able to steal a wife.

How do you want to invest?

 

My view on it is like this... It takes internal restraint.

 

Most people men and women lack this!

The "ahem". Are you trying to imply I have ever cheated or traded? Too funny.

 

Sometimes I think I should have yet, I have never. I would like to know I have lived a life where I never did that to anyone.

 

Heck yea, I am cynical and I do protect my heart. I will say a guy that tries to come between me and a another... (no matter how much I may doubt my other) ...is no one worth consideration.

 

It is just my way. I don't expect anyone else to hold that dear. Well, hopfully maybe one other person.

I fully agree. Then you become someone's rotation and there is no progress to be made in a rotation.

 

Also... girls who tend to think of themselves as more attractive than most... are often more easily enticed. They tend to become discontented with whatever treatment they recieve with the current guy. Feel like they deserve and expect more. Especially if these girls are young and feel valued or judged based on thier appearance.

 

Again, I agree. I see that alot. Find an insecure girl and you can manipulate her (even break her). I really want to believe that men/women are better then that. We (humans) are all very insecure and why do that? Just check yourself and walk away if what you are contemplating will cause harm.

 

I understand... It touches on the idea behind infidelity and women. The same principles can be applied, however it takes much more work and patience, and the H has to be out in space. Even then... your chances are under 50/50.

 

I don't understand this. Maybe if H applied your steal the girl philophies then the W would not look at options. Relationships are a two way street (not a merry go round that involves whooing a girl from another carousel horse...that goes in circles).

Not all women and men lack this. After the recipe for seduction you have to keep the lines of communication and respect open. At least that is my hope.

 

...and no, not everyone wants to openly communicate. It is a very scary thing.

Even the worlds greatest husband cannot compete with Mr. New and exciting. Now... consider that most Husbands are less than stellar... and now what have you got?

 

Listen, you asked about my experience. Some is mine, but I have learned much second hand. I have a friend who is pretty much an expert at this.

Cobra I applaud you for the Machiavellian nature of the observations in the thread earlier.

 

But I have to tell you-the part of the car-I may have burst out laughing.

 

I don't think it would work on me because I'll never forget when this guy was wooing me while I was with an now ex, I respectfully returned the gifts or treats he bought me and said I couldn't take it, he knew I was in a relationship. And you know what he said? "I respect you even more now and hope to meet a GF who will be like you if someone ever tried to take her from me"...

 

I am not being self congratulatory here-but it hit me like a bowling ball that he was in essence saying he would not have respected me if I was flattered or encouraging. That always stayed with me, so I see those kind of pursuits as , well....kind of evil and I get what they are really about.

 

Anyway-who knows-that was probably just another line. But the point hit home.

 

But I can see if someone was unhappy and susceptible- that drama would be a reprieve from the unhappiness (but not the car thing!)

You just have not met the kind of guy who can really work it!

 

Here is the deal. If he continued to work on you... then that was just a line. If he went away... then it wasnt.

 

The part in the car... that's just an example. The overall point is to use non-verbal techniques.

 

My absolute favorite by far is mirroring! I'm telling you... that one works like a champ on every girl... regardless of status.

 

Besides... I distinctly remember a conversation, about how you choose your men. It's like attack of the clones! :laugh:

I guess if working a girl that is involved with someone else floats your boat then go ahead. Just be careful what you wish for.

 

The woman has power as well. She has the power to shut you down and respect her relationship. However, some women like that sort of drama.

Women are powerless before me! HA HA HA!

 

J/K. Whatever works for ya, Cobra.

Puppy? Is that you, grandma?

sorry :o

 

that shot at creatively linking pedigree to puppy was only funny to me and my 2 beers.

 

You're a top breed.

 

I appreciated your ability to take the 'moves' from Cobra but to add your own sense of wisdom to apply techniques to the available. That makes better sense to me as well.

Ah... Yeah that all sounds a little arrogant. It's really not that way. I mean really there is no such thing as universal attractiveness. Even Brad Pitt would find some girls who would shoot him down!

 

Oh, and I truely apologize for the massive threadjack!

Yeah, that's what my grandmother calls me and my cousins anyway, her puppies.

 

Thanks for the kind comments though.

 

I can see myself trying the techniques recommended by Cobra. I can seriously see myself playing sad in the car when sad music comes on.

That reminded me of a Seinfeld episode. Desperado.

Your a girl right?

 

Listen... if you start a thread about how to build attraction w/ somebody. I will jump in and explain mirroring techniques a little bit!

 

Works on guys just as well as girls!
