I have no doubt that you have success with these ideas. And no doubt these Machiavellian tactics work for you. I have tried putting people in check and being the king and being powerful. They have never really worked that well for me.
I do not claim, as you do, to be some sort of expert on the female mind. I try to display my power as a power of ethics. You're right that kings are powerful, but kings in historical times were also expected to be just and benevolent. I am the king of my own life, and thus I am benevolent, fair. I act as a king to all things that come into my space and to my attention. If a girl is not treating me with the same dignity I give her, I am just honest about how I feel and the consequences if she continues. I also give her time and dignity to change her mood to positive fun.
When I am truly in control of myself, there is no need for power plays.
While I'm sure what you're saying is correct, it is time to upgrade the ethics of dating. It's time to find romance that is mutually uplifting, rather than mutually degrading and concerned about power. Concern with power comes from a feeling of powerlessness. People who feel they can't keep others in their lives, or have to manipulate or control to find safety and to be sure of the loyalty of others. People who have control of themselves learn to let people go when that is right for them.
Again, it is time for a higher moral ethic to this whole business. You may be right that some women are attracted to displays of power. In my opinion, however, wise women seek the man of wisdom, joy, and benevolence.
An unpopular point of view on this board, that's for sure. But I think we all need to find great meaning and potential in romance through ethics. I am not the only one to stand up to beliefs based on the cynicism and despair that lies dormant in all of us.
