agree with the majority of your post but disagree with just acting that way. you literally have to not put any emotinal investment into the interactions regardless of what you have or don't have. And just because you truly don't care and are unreactive doesn't mean the chick is going to automatically fall under some spell due to your "value" you think you create. a chick who doesn’t care doesn't care. So neither do I.As the resident sith lord of OLD game, I have a principle where I reward women for every little effort. To the untrained eye, it looks like I am a supplicating nice guy, but to hot women, I look completely unreactive to anything she throws at me. I render everything she says useless. Even if she tries to start drama, I don't feed into it and give her any power. I come across as always complete, fulfilled, and living with abundance. The elusive obvious is that looking like anything can get to you will giver her ammo. This is called the art of being unreactive.
But being unreactive doesn't mean not doing or saying anything. Being unreactive means you are not moved by anything. There is no hint of anger in you. You can't lose even if you lose her, that's how much of a pimp you are.
So the key is to reward her for every effort. Guys with no abundance wouldn't understand this principle. It's like having 5 billion dollars in your bank account and having a harem of 100 women. You would never be emotionally affected if you had all that. You'd always act like nothing is ever a big deal. You even go so far as compliment her! It''s like beating a guy in tennis and he takes the loss so damn graciously, that he ends celebrating your win and your blown away by his demeanor. He acts like he's the one that actually won! Like losses doesn't even affect him.
Confidence is about expressing its signposts like emotional unreactiveness and equanimity. Women see these signs and rationalize you must be confident.
My emotionally unaffected reply would have been "Oh I don't hate you. On the contrary, I like a woman who has her priorities straight. It's a sexy quality. Looking forward to seeing you again
I don't even acknowledge whatever frame she tried to trap me in. I'm showing her it's impossible to make me feel lack.
This is what a guy with a harem of 100 women would do. Nothing can affect him emotionally. When a woman see this, she sees just how much abundance and value you have, and she can't leave you. Women can never leave value. They are imprisoned by it.
I have zero desire to invest in trying to control or manipulate anyone. those that do are trying too hard. you can't make anyone care or see "value" in you just because you don't care. you just know when to cut bait and not waste your time.
