When you understand h ow to read women as you lay the boundary, you will know who is sincere and who is not. That's how you filter them.
This point of yours is irrelevant once you know how to read the reaction of women to your price. Do you play poker Peaks?
You're saying men can't tell if their women just banged another dude (in your 10 man statement). But they should be able to tell if the woman's sincere about hanging out with men one on one in the future? And, my point, what if they are sincere about not wanting to hang out with other men, because they don't want to at that moment.....but change their mind as soon as they run into one of those other men?

When she asks me for exclusivity while hanging out one-on-one with other men, I lay out my price.
When she asks you for exclusivity while seeing other men one-on-one. Your process is to delay until she no longer does one-on-one with other men? Or is there more to it?
That's basically it. You should know. You should be able to gauge her interest. You should, by that time, have a feeling of most important people in her lives, and where they stand with her. If you aren't sure about her, then you wait to commit until you are. If she's still going out on dates, looking for other men to replace you, then that's a bad sign obviously. Hangs out with bestie guy friend she's known for 10 years....I don't care.

Have you never been the guy one-on-one with another bf's girl and fvked her?
I have been the other guy.

I had to chime in here too, and say that
I've never experienced a loss of attraction when I've set the boundary either. Of course, I've only set it with what I perceived to be high quality women, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered even considering them for exclusivity.
It's no surprise to me that it's the younger guys here who seem to have the biggest problem with this "boundary setting". It's a matter of maturity here, I think, which is related to lifestyle:
First off, the younger guys haven't had time to overcome the feminist brainwashing that they've heard all their lives. All that bit about insecurity and jealousy. When I was a young man, I was the same way. I didn't want to be called jealous or insecure so if a girl had male friends I figured I just had to sit back and take it. Only when I got older and more mature did I realize it was all BS and that I could do what I wanted. And curiously, rather than losing attraction, I gained value as I got older, and could demand the kind of behavior I expected.
Secondly, I think that as women get a little older, a lot of them learn that these opposite sex friendships aren't really what they appear to be.
I do think that it is possible for men and women to be friends. But I also think that such truly platonic relationships are very rare. I've had female friends, but later found out that they harbored feelings for me. And we all know the opposite happens.
Here's a YouTube video that has often been posted here, demonstrating how girls have these male friends. But when pressed, they admit that they realize that these guys either have a crush on them or want to bang them. "Why Men and Women Can't Be Friends":

I hear you zekko on the younger guy thing, I'm not sure if has as much to do on social conditioning but maybe more to do with where they're at in their lives.
Also, how do you really know if telling a woman not hang out one on one with other women didn't lower their attraction, then or later on?
That's a good video, I've never seen it before. But that brings to light one of the main issues of this whole thing. Guys think that men and women can't be friends, while the women think they can.
One way to handle this is to set a boundary, like you guys are suggesting.
I've gotten all of your sides points "pounded in to my brain", and I realize WHY you feel the need to set a boundary.
And, there are different ways to go about setting the boundary.
Zekko: I won't go exclusive with anyone who hangs out with other guys one on one
Danger: I can't take you seriously with all these other men around you.
Once the time comes, does this
need to be said though?
Well what happens when a bukowski(in his olden days) or a Danger shows up?
From rascals, bukowski's, and BeDJ's examples, you can't tell her
then to not see him. So the boundary needs to be set from the beginning......
Makes sense.
However (you knew that was coming), when you are saying: "I can't take you seriously with all these men around" are you still saying: "I don't like these other men around you. I will not go exclusive if you hang out with other men" Is this what the women are hearing? Is that reasonable. Remember, they are not logical. You can tell them one thing, even text it to them, so they have it in word for word format, but that does not mean they will interpret it word for word. The chick's brain works in mysterious ways, and they will hear one thing, and think something totally different. At times, their hamster brain will screw up even the simplest of logical thinking.
So.....if you say: "I can't take you seriously with all these other men around you"
Can she interpret it as: "He won't go exclusive with me until I ditch these other men. I need to get rid of these other men so I can go exlusive with him" or "He's jealous of other men?"
No, on the latter response? That's fine, for now, please keep reading.
Then....what happens later on down the road, when orbiter friend asks her if she wants to get coffee, or dude from work offers to take her out to lunch for "a job well done." She will have to turn them down. She's going to start thinking about it, as women always do.
Whether she wants to hang out with these other guys or not, is futile at this point. She
can't hang out with them. Why? Because her boyfriend would break up with her. So.......in her mind: my boyfriend doesn't want me hanging out with other men one one.
Is that what you want your woman to be thinking and telling people. If she says that to only one person, what is that one persons response going to be?
"Does he get jealous easily?" or "Is he worried that you will cheat on him?"
Her response: I would never cheat on him!
One person: Then why can't you hang out with other men?
Her response: He just doesn't think it's right.
One person: That's strange (from a today's society stand point) Is he controlling? Insecure?
and so on.....
Sooner or later she's going to think that you fear her cheating. That you
are jealous....insecure. Maybe not right away but she will start thinking it eventually.
Then....forbidden fruit time boys.
To add to this, what happens when she tells her orbiters she can't hang out with them anymore because she's with you:

“My boyfriend told me I’m not allowed to hangout with you anymore.”
Always resulted in sex soon after. That “always” is not an understatement. 100% of the time - when I heard those words – it was followed soon after by sex.
BeDJ said:
I thought it was just my experience. The highest indicator that she will cheat is her saying "My BF doesn't like us hanging out." That's the highest buying sign you can ever receive. By her saying that relieves the guilt that 'one thing led to another' and at the same time puts her in a position to cheat.
