Read something someone said about how women don't even trust women because they know better. Putting any women hating theories aside I think that has some interesting insight for interactions with women. In my past I've shown trust and given women outward signs of benevolence before I really knew or vetted them well. Now for the most part I didn't blindly trust them and learned at a pretty young age how ruthless women can be, but that doesn't mean I didn't get a bit nervous and outwardly act like a "nice guy". But when I did give the whole nice guy act you can see women lose respect, that's nothing new, but I think a big part of that could be that they know women, they understand and see how cut-throat and ruthless they can be, so when they see you buying whatever they are selling or going out of your way to treat them like saints they lose respect. It comes off as weakness and you look like a sucker in their eyes, because if you were experienced/successfull with women you'd know that they aren't saints. And if they view you as a gullible, placating sucker they will obviously lose respect for you, and they can't get the tingles without respect. I feel the same way often, when girls are praising me and pedastalizing me it instinctively sets off alarm bells for me that they are trying to use me to up their status, lock me into marriage, use me for money (think that's good and bad but that's another issue) etc. and women experience this much, much more then men do I'm sure.
