Video on how to get a woman?

[Kuciwalker]

Just to reiterate the point: "Video on how to get a woman?"

[Al B. Sure!]

Umm... popular thread. What's your point? There's a wealth of information on human relations in this thread from some very disparate perspectives as well as a lot of insights into the mental workings of a number of posters. There has been a lot of positive advice and analysis of myself that I can use in the future. I also learned about women being hypergamous and seeking to improve social currency through transactions with perceptively high status men on the sexual marketplace. Overall, this has been a positive and educational experience and anyone else in my shoes would do well to read this thread in its entirety.

With aneeshm, Hera, and DF being prominent among them?

[Al B. Sure!]

Aneeshm and Hera approach this topic with almost scholarly analysis and Dave actually attracts a lot of women... and no, not just the douche-perspective. Imran, Jon Miller, MikeH, Buggs, and others posted prominently.

Since when does a thread have to validate its existence anyway?

Oh, this one definitely is worth having; it concentrates so much of Poly's suck in one place.

[Al B. Sure!]

Some of their points are valid and scientifically validated...

Study 1 (N = 847) documented that women rated men more desirable when shown surrounded by women than when shown alone or with other men (a desirability enhancement effect)

Women are hypergamous and seek men who are desired by other women. They essentially get their analysis of the worth of a man through his popularity with other women.

There is also the other explination that women feel more comfortable if a man is hanging out with other women, because that lessens the chance that he's a creep (ie, if other women can tolerate him...).

[Al B. Sure!]

I have no pictures of myself with women

This is called preselection in game.


@AS: Do you have any female friends?

So you "dated" this prostitute for 6 years and never even took a picture together?

Tell me again what about it seemed like it was a relationship?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well he could have deleted / burned / shredded all of those pictures.

I know that I have no pictures with my long term ex because I disposed of all of them.

[Al B. Sure!]

I have a handful of pictures of me and her but the problem is 1) I was a 160lb scrawny kid back then so it doesn't do me any justice and 2) why would I put a picture of that evil ***** up? No thanks. It wouldn't do me any favors. And pictures of an ex-gf put up recently on facebook or something lends too many questions and 'is he still over her?' issues. Don't need that.

and yes, I have female friends. The problem is I don't hang out with anybody, especially not when a camera is around.

[David Floyd]

OK guys, I think we should cut off the advice spigot. Speer should either take my/Hera's/aneeshm's side, or everyone else's side, and then put some of the energy he spends posting on Poly into putting the advice into practice.

[Kuciwalker]

Why are you putting yourself in a category with Hera or aneeshm? That's not modesty, it's self-hatred.

[David Floyd]

For simplicity's sake. Everyone else categorizes me that way, and it's just easier to go with it than to try to explain the nuanced differences. As for as Speer is concerned, it makes no different anyway.
