Hi all. I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if I come off a little naive, here, but I had a question that's been going through my mind since I watched a video.
The video is here:
Basically it's two PUA type guys saying that there are two types of women, or two opposites, and that most women lie somewhere between the two extremes. On one side, you have women who desperately seek validation. These are the ones who have to be ignored, who you HAVE to play games with, because essentially they don't respond to positive actions, and essentially don't have enough self esteem to really fall for a guy who treats her well. On the other hand, you have women who actually respond well to romance, to some compliments, to you just being a cool, interesting guy who is showing interest. Obviously they still aren't attracted to neediness, but they don't run away as soon as a guy shows interest.
Now, I don't really follow PUA stuff too closely, but I stumbled on this one and it was interesting to me because it was the first time I had heard guys like this making a distinction. Generally, many seem to act like all women fall into the first category, and that no women are like the second. The very idea of such women is where so many men go wrong.
Now, I understand that I may come off as some kind of nice guy type who's just trying to find the hope that the second, "good" category of women exist. But that's not the case. I've had quite a good deal of success with women in my life, and the reason this video resonated with me is that I've definitely found that some women (though definitely not all) do respond well to me just being a confident, funny, sexual guy, without having to **** with their heads.
So my question is this: within the framework of looking at women this possibly very simplistic way, I find that so many guys focus on how to seduce the first group. I understand that this isn't really a bad idea, since these girls are pretty easy to reign in once you figure out that they respond really well to aloof behavior. But if you're seeking a relationship, wouldn't the best skill to have be the ability to tell the difference between the two, and just go after the second type? If there are in fact sexy, mature, intelligent and self-respecting girls out there, wouldn't they be the best choice for something serious, than some girl with daddy issues who only calls you when you don't call her back?
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
