Yeah, high school I think is when most people really start thinking about trying to get a girl/girlfriend XD.JaegerPilot217 said:When did you start making these mistakes and going through trial and error? High school?
But I'd say most of my progress has been in the past 3 years of college, and even more specifically in the past couple months.
I think it was Tyler from RSD who said "When you go through a separation, afterwards your game just explodes." I couldn't agree more, I learned the most and developed inner game more than I ever have in the time during and after separating from this girl.
But back on topic...
I do think it's easy to get jaded and condemn all women after some bad experiences (and I'm a little guilty of this as well)...but a line that I read somewhere struck me: most women are mirrors of the self that you project. If you are indecisive, beta, wussy, have no balls, can't escalate, and don't take charge, they can be (and often will be) mean, cold, indifferent, and appear heartless, because that is the behavior which you bring out in them. If you are alpha, manly, sexual, dominant, confident, etc. etc., they will be girly, supportive, sweet, and caring. Of course there are exceptions, some women are straight up crazy, others are super awesome and treat everyone with respect no matter what; this is simply a generalization (you should also evaluate its truth yourself).
I'm by no means an expert with women, still have a helluva lot to learn <__<, but from my own experiences this seems to hold true.
Another quick tidbit I picked up from somewhere (yeah, I've been doing a lot of reading recently >___>), women are never going to do exactly what you want, you can't control them, you can't control any other person actually. Sometimes they'll do things that aren't to your liking. But on the other side of the coin, sometimes they will do things that will surprise you positively! And at times like those, you'll appreciate that they're autonomous XD, and their femininity shines.
Case in point, I told this girl I forgot to give her something before she was leaving, we met up, I gave her a small gift, an old trinket of mine from when I was younger. She gave me a gift as well! wtf, did not expect the reciprocation - it felt great.
