Oh for crying out loud, when in a LTR if you never tell her you love her, or otherwise act like you love her, she's gonna dump you. YAWN.
Intermittent reinforcement. At times you act adoringly and sentimental and can tell her you love her, other times distant yourself, act aloof and keep her wondering/guessing.
It's like playing a slot machine at Vegas, it will keep her in a heightened state of uncertainty wondering when she's gonna get the "good stuff"! And when she does?
It's a HIGH she never felt, she'll be become addicted. Unlike with the boring white knights who cater to her AND those pseudo alpha idiots that never tell her.
Pan87 used to discuss this. A poster named stormrider/da dynamically from back in the day as well.
Intermittent reinforcement. It's an intoxicating and dangerous combination of hot/cold, push/pull, come close/go away. And during the loving times, yes you can tell her!
Women complain when he becomes distant and aloof, it's all BS. Take that away and they're bored and running to next guy who's able to give them just the right dose of highs/lows.
My own dad was like this with both my mom and step mom, naturally. And had them both completely and utterly in love with him, loyal and devoted. Even with us kids he was times but was nevertheless a fantastic father to all of us. Would give his life for any of us.
Unfortunately, most men are unable to pull it off successfully. It ends up coming off disingenuous and contrived.
In any event, guy on the video doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
