You'd have to be real careful getting this out, because as you warned of, I can see a lot of guys interpreting this as meaning you need to be obnoxious in order for her to want you. When it's really you want to be playfully contrarian have a spine, and if that spine gives her emotional fluctuations, that's good.
Good point.
Another story... when I was a brand new Second Lieutenant at Ft. Benning attending IOBC, I met Gene Hackworth (if you don't know who he is look him up) in the O-Club bar (this was 1988). This was before the Army had really gone through radical changes in expected behavior of officers, and when strippers still performed in O-Clubs... well it was stripper night, and the place was naturally packed. Back then officers of all ranks would get together, drink, at a little crazy and in that relaxed casual atmosphere, SMART junior officers would listen to their fellow officers of senior rank, and you would learn more things in that environment than anything you might learn in training and development about leadership. All that started to change with the Tail-hook Incident, where a bunch of Naval 'Aviators' (some of the biggest A-holes in the world) fvcked things up for all of us, by treating fellow female officers like wh0res, behaving like the social retards they are. But that's a different story.
The point is that COL Hackworth told me that in any officer's career there will come a point where you have to go against the grain, you might have to break some rules. Well he's dead now, but he told me a story that I am free to share now that he is gone. One night in Vietnam they captured a VC that he knew had information that if they could act on it right away, would save lives and deal the enemy a serious blow. So he made the decision to torture the information out of him.... which he did, and got the expected results... an enemy battalion was ambushed and taken off the map, and it saved dozens, if not hundreds of American lives. Torture is wrong, it is a violation of the law of land warfare, and a violation of international treaties which our government has signed. The point was that he was in a no win scenario and an ethical dilemma, if he followed the rules, people would die, if he broke the rules he could be court marshaled.
Then he looked me in the eye and said words I will never forget. "In your career I guarantee that you will be faced with tough decision between two rights, just remember that if you take the path to something which violates the rules, make sure it is the path to the hill you want to die on."
What he meant about that was if you break the rules, there could or will be consequences. Make sure you are willing to pay that price.
So what does all this fvcking mean in the context of this thread? Well, just be careful where you draw the line with your chick. Don't be a @ss for the sake of being an @ss because you think treating women like cr@p is how to get them interested. If your chick asks you to do something that you don't want to do, for whatever reason, and you say no... make sure it's worth it to you to potentially lose her.
If a chick asked me to hold her purse, and there appeared to be a good reason for this (she struggling with other bags, having trouble opening her car, has to fix a strap on her dress...) then go ahead an fvcking hold her purse. But if she hands you her purse, and she obviously doesn't need any help, just look at her and say "What, your arm is broken? Looks fine to me." Or tell her you'll hold her purse if she does something else for you... joke around about it.
Now I'll do just about any kinky s3x thing a chick wants, but there are three things I will not do: Play the role of a 'cuck' in her fantasy, engage in **** where I am bruising her or drawing blood (harmless velvet whips are fine), or stink my tongue in her a-hole. Now if any of these three things is what it takes to get a particular chick hot... sorry, in my opinion it's not worth it. So those are the hills I am NOT willing to die on.
Every man has limits to what he is willing to do, but understand that when you draw lines you have to be willing to accept the consequences.
