I'm sorry, man. You asked, I linked.Marquis said:Buzzkill.![]()
Yes, and if anyone cares I've gotten much, much better about that.JMohegan said:I'm sorry, man. You asked, I linked.
The raincoat issue is obvious.
JMohegan said:As for the homework, etc., please consider the following observation about "the game".
As you get older, women expect to see more than a hot body & great clothes. In that sense, your current game might be working against your game in a decade or two.
Not a criticism, just something to consider.

Marquis said:Yes, and if anyone cares I've gotten much, much better about that.

I am genuinely glad to hear it.Marquis said:Yes, and if anyone cares I've gotten much, much better about that.
Perhaps. If you want to correct me, fine. If not, that's fine too.Marquis said:I think you have some misconceptions about how I run my game.
Recidiva said:I care. It's a big deal. I'm glad you did.

Marquis said:You care?
Please, you wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire.
JMohegan said:Perhaps. If you want to correct me, fine. If not, that's fine too.
In any case, my point stands. The criteria by which women judge men changes as men get older. I'm sure there are exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking it's true.

Recidiva said:You really need to work on accurately gauging responses.
Ha, ha, I have no doubt that you will! Longer, in fact, if you want to. The world is filled with 20 somethings who have a thing for older men.Marquis said:I would be more inclined to believe that generally speaking, it's untrue, with certain exceptions.
I think women basically seek the alpha male. They also need to be convinced that they are being offered some security (part of theperceived value you must demonstrate), and their expectations of that do change based on their age or their nature. A 19 year old is more nervous about going to your house than a 27 year old. Older women can't afford to waste their time with guys who aren't likely to commit, etc.
In any case, the way I see it I will be fucking with women in the same age group I work with now (mainly 25-35) for at least the next 20 years.
Marquis said:You seem to have more trouble with your affect than I do with my perceptive abilities.
Let's not get too testy, it'll make things uncomfortable over dinner.
Marquis said:For women with their asshole sensors up.
One way in which I've really improved my game over the years is realizing that less is more. I used to try to manipulate the situation by talking a lot and staying ahead of my target, but now I try to say as little as necessary and spend considerable more energy reading my target and responding appropriately.
Recidiva said:Well, I'd say we don't need to worry about dinner.
Freya said:So, rather than expending energy trying to convince women that you're not what they think you are, you just become what they think they want?
Marquis said:Exactly.
From The 48 Laws of Power:
Law 9
Win through your Actions, Never through Argument
Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.
Marquis said:I'm curious as to why I'm constantly having to defend myself against having ulterior motives.
I have no agenda.
I wanted to share. That's all.
People keep asking me questions that were answered in the first post, like the answer is going to change.
Cleopatra said:You sound like you want to teach men your secrets
Marquis said:This was the basic idea, but there seems to be few takers, despite what I believe to be a significant need.
Cleopatra said:You believe there's a significant need to educate men how to enslave women? Just here on Lit, or in general?
