Polarization gets you receptive or non-receptive girls. Most women you will meet will fall in the neutral.
Polarization Mark Manson says there are three types of girls: the receptive, the neutral, and the non-receptive. Why? Because he has the potential to be a rich since he demonstrates high social status. Manson says that even a not-so-rich guy could attract girls. How do you look when you're with her friends? How well do you communicate? How much do other people want to hang out with you? These are some things they are subconsciously reading. Social Status Women are attracted to men's social status. The investment paradox means you put the time and effort in an honest manner to talk to her while not appearing desperate. If you go up to her with your intentions in check, get to the point and be open about yourself and your personality, and you two match, then bingo. She knows you're trying to be nice just to sleep with her. If you go up to her and be super nice just to get her number, her "bullshit detectors" go off. Manson says, "well, if we seem desperate when we go after them, how can we circumvent this?" He then talks again about the investment paradox. Theory on Female Attraction As Mark Manson suggests, most women today are turned on by "the desire to be desired." What that means is that they get turned on when we go after them. More on that if you actually read the book. We should carry the conversation in the right direction and we shouldn't be worried about the outcome.
Manson says that we shouldn't waste our time small-talking. And I should note that this means to get to the point as efficiently as possible. What matters is the emotions you two exchange through the conversation. It doesn't matter what you say to a girl. Manson talks about how we have to appear that we are not desperate but at the same time interested in the girl. If you go to a girl and start talking about the weather, then that derails from your initial purpose in you getting her number. Manson says, "Honest Living correlates directly with the quality of women that you will attract." Honest Action is basically letting go of approach anxiety and considering the real purpose in you approaching a girl. This lifestyle includes being happy with the work you have, working out to get that nice fit, developing your passions and interests, developing your identity, and so on. Honest Living is developing an attractive lifestyle. Honest Living, Honest Action, Honest Communication These are the three H's emphasized by Manson. As the cliche goes, "plenty of fish in the sea." Manson would say as a man that demonstrates true confidence, you simply move on and you don't let others affect the way you think about yourself. As Mark Manson would put it, you should be glad if a woman rejects you because heck, you could have invested too much time and resources trying to win her over. In the realm of dating and relationships, true confidence means you don't care how the lady reacts to you. True confidence means you live your standards, your dreams, your values, your ethics without caring about how others react to you. True Confidence True Confidence means not giving a about what other people say. Anyways, I picked up a few things from Models and wanted to share them.
I've read The Rational Male, finished reading Models by Manson, How To Win Friends and Influence People by Carnegie, 48 Laws of Power by Greene, and so on. I've been going monk mode for the past 6 months or so.
