There is a large different between having high interest in a woman and making it known.. compared to being desperate and making that known.Meh, that's a popular saying, but I don't think it's necessarily true. If two people meet each other, form an obvious connection, and both want the same thing (which happens), I don't see that as a sign of weakness.
I sometimes meet women that turn me on more than usual so I end up escalating much faster than normal with them. However, if the woman acts like a b!tch my interest level drops immediately. Then she becomes just another disposable sex toy.
Your job as a man is to lead. The woman's job is to follow. Women who don't follow have low interest. The proper response to a woman with low interest is forgetting she exists. Desperate betas see low interest as a signal to try harder. This is what makes them pathetic faggots.
