>>The key point here is never to listen to what a woman says she is attracted to because she has no clue.<<
@Sebastian0001 et al, I actually agree with you. I have NO clue what attracts me, I own it.
Presented with two men, all things being equal - looks, status, job, money, intellect - I truly have no idea why I'm so attracted and enthralled with one man and not the other.
The reasons are intangible and exactly what you said -
emotional.
With respect to intellect, I used that as an example because the men I typically go for have been somewhat intellectual but I doubt that's what attracted me.
Nor was it his looks, status, money etc as (for example) I've been asked out by models and a few actors (truth) when I worked in entertainment in NYC and they did nothing for me.
So those things on their own don't "do it" for me.
So again you are absolutely right, I have no idea what attracts me, nor do most women if she's being honest.
I only know when I meet him, either on line or off, I either feel that certain "somethin somthin" that cannot be explained or defined, or I don't.
It's emotional. An intangible force that drives my and most women's attractions.
That's why at the end of the day, all these different strategies you guys discuss and employ, ways to attract women, often fail.
This may sound hokey to some of you but imo and experience, a lot of it has to do with energy/chemisrty. Which cannot be created through employing strategy or "Game" (sorry Pan87 ), it simply exists between two people or it doesn't.
I will say once it's been determined that there IS a certain energy between you, you might be able to increase her attraction through Game and maintain it, but not create it.
Not in my experience cause I've had many men attempt to "get me" through Game and it didn't work.
Another man with whom mutual energy between us DID exist, his Game did work.
So you think, see, GAME works! No it wasn't game, it was your energy.
Some men DO possess that certain somethin that will naturally attract women, a swagger, confidence, a certain bravado, an edge. That's their energy and it WILL and does attract many women.
A few men on this forum have that great energy, that "edge," I can sense it in their posting style even when brash, THAT is why they're so successful. High notch count etc.
Anyway, I realize this is a ramble that may get ignored, but if I have any advice, work on improving yourself, your energy, how you present yourself to women and the outside world in general.
If/when you have great energy, combined with a confidence and certain swagger, you might discover you don't really have to "do" a damn thing or not much, the women will come to you, naturally and organically.
You may have to make the first move, but after that it's easy.
Not through Game or strategy but your energy. THAT'S the key.
Anyway, just my .02 as a woman who's done a lot of internal work, introspecting, learning, growing and evolving over the years.
Not a brag, but for context, I attract a lot of men wherever I go and have had my fair share of relationships, good and bad, long term short term.
I still have a long way to go though before I figure it all out or perhaps I never will which is OK too.
Carry on and have fun!
