Ok guys, sorry it took so long to get back to you. You are all making good points and it's awesome that we can have a mature discussion about this. Well, outside of IceCold, but he blocked us anyway so it shouldn't matter.
Prosemont, we agree on just about everything. The only part that I think we're not seeing eye-to-eye on is that you seem to believe:
funny, confident, mysterious etc = attractive = she would do you
I'm here to say that:
Girl looks at you. You reflect AI (you balance her female-ness with male-ness) then perceptions are made (assumed). (He's funny, confident, mysterious etc). As the interaction or relationship continues, his true self will shine through and eventually (or not) DESTROY those perceptions...thus meaning the integration is complete = no more need for the attraction = perceptions melt away. Then you start saying "She's too obnoxious (when before it was outgoing), she's too shady (before it was mysterious).
"My opinion is:
First.. demonstrate your value and then! only then try to be misterios..a challenge. Be charming,and all will work out my friends... -lot
Eh, you're still missing the point though. Even if a girl DOES like you, and has "high interest"...if you challenge her, and if that interest seems to 'grow', what you're seeing is NOT an increase in interest but an increase in the amount that she expresses that interest. She feels a sense of desperation, that she's doing something wrong, that she needs to DO something to fix the relationship and get it back on track. Those acts of desperation FEED YOUR EGO and make you feel desired, but you (mis)interpret that as "Raised Interest Level". Again, it was all an illusion.
"For those that fall into the emotionally immature camp, it all becomes a 'sport' where it's all about conquest and winning"
Aramas, yes, I agree. I believe that stems from the DJ's thirst for revenge. We feel we were done wrong, or hurt, or burned. And now, we are ressurected, given an 'arsenal of weapons' that could destroy any BYTCH SHIELD, or create attraction, or we can NEG-HIT them so that we can feel better knowing that THEY feel as self-conscious as us. It's a war because we believe we were attacked, like the dating game is unfair towards men. Again, just a misperception. And to retaliate, a group of guys got together and 'discovered' tactics that could give us control....FINALLY! We have HOPE now! No more being rejected or feeling lonely because now we can use these things (and label it "self-improvement") until they are 'naturally integrated' and we're an attractive man that can have any girl we want. Please.
All of this thirst for power and control is compensation for the pain, frustration, and humilation that we've experienced before. It literally becomes a war, a sport.

I disagree with that. It's like if you take the femaly population of the earth 3 000 000 000, one by one, women have solid unchangeable opinions. 1 500 000 000 will sleep with you. 1 500 000 000 won't sleep with you.
And you can't change that. It's carma. You're done. Boohoo" -Ice Cold
Of course you disagree with that. To believe that would be to invalidate everything that you thought empowered you, gave you hope, gave you a new life, gave you control. You'd be stuck at 'ugh, now what?' I'm not here to tell you that 1000 chicks are interested to you and that's it. You can't do anything, game over. I'm telling you that every girl that you've ever gotten with these 'tricks and tactics and self-improvement'...you could have got WITHOUT it if you just took some time to get to know yourself and dissolve some self-limiting misperceptions.
I'm TELLING you that you can get even MORE chicks than you think. I'm tellin you that there were girls that WERE attracted to you, but saw through your transparent games and perceived them as pathetic, and needy, and insecure. I'm tellin you that this is a lot easier than you're making it. I'm tellin you that the times that you DID get laid, and gave the credit to your 'game', you should have given that credit to YOU...because YOU were the one she saw and desired all along. Not a silly game.
This goes for EVERYBODY. You have misperceptions that are stopping you from getting even MORE girls. And rather than figuring them out you are just trying to do some hocus pocus integration that won't attract MORE girls, but will just attract DIFFERENT ones. All it would take is to learn who you really are, and you will acheive a state that you didn't know existed

""I think what shes trying to demostrate is that different approaches, lines and situations usually do little in disguising (or promoting) the person that you actually are. It's YOU that she will base her decision whether or not she will have sex with you, not the situation you are in or something you've rehearsed to say.
You can do a million things that you believe may change the way you are perceived and increase your chance of success with women, but realistically, it doesnt change who you are at all, and people can see that." -Don Juan Pablo
Beautiful post DJP. That is the bottom line of my posts. They always liked YOU. All alone YOU were attractive to THEM. And you were the only one that counted yourself out and thought you needed tactics to compensate for your 'ugly' to begin with.
"but I DO think you can improve yourself dramatically so that you are MORE GLOBALLY attractive."-Prosemont
Prosemont, I agree for the most part. If you chisel up, and take care of yourself, you will resemble and reflect more AI. Not necessarily ALL AI, but most likely more. The best example I can give is this...
Justin Timberlake, Vin Disel, Tommy Lee
All 3 are sex icons. All three demonstrate a different "look" or "type". All 3 probably get about the same amount of women. However there would be a lot of chicks that wouldn't TOUCH Vin Disel because he's too big and goofy. Or they wouldn't touch Tommy Lee because he's 'dirty'. Or they wouldn't touch Justin Timberlake because he's 'girly'. A girl has a type in her mind. Her AI. The more you match it, the more attractive and more perceptions you'll have attributed to you.
If you're dressing like a surfer, and get ripped abs and have a surfer build, and rock it well....you'll get a lot of chicks, at least initially (until you start shattering perceptions). But that's not to say that EVERY chick would do you. Pleanty of chicks want the Vin Disel look, or the Tommy Lee look. It depends on the girl entirely.
"How do you know that the way you would "naturally" be isn't all covered up with all the issues that you have?" -Prosemont
BINNNNNNNGO! You nailed this one. Who we are IS buried under misperceptions that lead to insecurities that lead to MORE misperceptions. And it just snowballs. Next thing you know we're covered by fear, insecurity. That's what happens when most of us find this site. THEN, we see there is something that will combat or cover up those issues and insecurities. WE can finally forget about them and 'become and integrate into a better man'. But it'll never work that way. Fundementally we are still the same people, with the same insecurity that creeps up on us. Hence the 3 second rule. We'll ALWAYS have those problems until we have solved our own self-limiting misperceptions, issues, and hang-ups and see the truth for what it is.
"Then you start doing AFC things ... you start writing her poetry, you send her roses, you tell her how much you love her on the third date, yada, yada. Even though she is ATTRACTED TO YOU and will give you great latitude in your fvck-ups, do you really think she's going to stick around? NOPE." -Prosemont
First of all it depends on the girl. Some girls will sincerely see the poetry as sweet, hence staying in line with her perpeption of you as a sweet guy. But the bigger issue here is....
Why are we doing those things? Why are we giving roses, and writing poetry, and saying 'I love you'? It's because we believe, and were taught that THIS is how you behave if you want women to like you. We are overwhelmed by feelings and obsession and lust and can't figure the feelings out. And we'll do ANYTHING for the girl to feel the same way. So we grow up, watching TV, and coming to the conclusion that "Poetry and Sensitivity is the key to a woman's heart". So we do that.
Now you're saying.
"yeah, that's why we need this site! So we don't do that!" But think deeper. You come here, and you learn "be a man/chicks love confidence/chicks love alpha males/ chicks love jerks". Hmmmm...again, we are generalizing and forming MORE misperceptions and AGAIN, changing our behavior in the name of being attractive to women! So is the pre-sosuave and sosuaver any different? Who's to say which is better or worse? They are both altering their behavior and 'doing' things that they perceive are attractive to women.
"The male that demonstrates appropriate character traits gets the attraction no matter his looks."
-Ice Cold
Hmmm...Danny DeVito is confident, funny, sometimes a jerk. Why isn't his sex appeal quite as high as Justin Timberlake...who is typically perceived as sensitive, sensual, feminine? Kinda interesting.
"But, is that true? We've all been with hotties. You never got tired of her? The thing about ANY hottie out there is that some dude is simply TIRED OF FVCKING HER. IT'S TRUE!!!! " -Prosemont
The integration is complete. Now, the perceptions will begin to dissolve. He'll begin to see her for a human being and the complusion won't be there. She'll no longer be some sex godess. Her flaws will be present and the very thing that fueled the compulsion will die.
