St.99,
I agree that there is a point at which the mental energy spent in successfully winning the War to have POSITIVE interactions with women can become counterproductive. Overemphasis on ANY one thing often causes men to lose their mental and emotional equilibrium. Or, as I always say:
"If you've spend 5 minutes WORRYING about what women are thinking, then you've spent 4 minutes TOO LONG."
However, there is GREAT value and almost "immediate" personal benefit in studying and learning about your subject (women) in order to gain mastery over YOURSELF while you're in their presence. The problem comes when you go from studying to WORRYING-----when you go from fascination, motivation, and inspiration to "get with women' to DESPERATION to get with women no matter what the cost.
THIS is the danger zone that a lot of men fall into, and some NEVER recover. Life is all about balance, of course. And the reason why learning about women and mastering your own behavior around women is SO important is because 99% of all heterosexual men who DO NOT successfully do this are destined for a fall.
Many lose their happiness, their money, their houses, their children, their hopes, their dream, and EVEN THEIR LIVES due to having a inaccurate, overinflated, and DANGEROUSLY shortsighted view of women.
You'd be surprised to hear the kind of shyt men tell me that they "put up with" just to keep a woman. Hell...ANY woman, it seems.
When you have a moment, and you want to see just how dangerous ignorance of women and how to PROPERLY relate to them can be, increase your knowledge base even further by reading this:
Objective: The Man Who Could Cheat Death!
Many men suffer REAL losses because of their ignorance and/or unwillingness to take what the wrong women can do their lives SERIOUSLY.
Much respect to you.
