Quote From: tammy_anneI was thining about one of the statagies these men teach in order to approach a woman that they are interested in. It was the one were they knock the woman down a peg or two to bring her down to a more humane level? I had a gut reaction to that. The reason being is that the men that find the woman unapporachable is due to their lack of self esteem not hers.
But in order for them to feel she is more appraochable they use a strategy to knock her self esteem lower and get her into defending her sense of self?
Uh to me that is just wrong.
The assumtion is that if a person is beautiful to some one they are unapproachable, and their self esteem has to be knocked down a peg or two, this is so backwards! What should be really focused on is the person who's self esteem and perception of self is so low that they feel that they have to do this in order to be able to engage in a conversation with some one they are attracted to.
HAHA honestly if a man appraoched me then made even light hearted disperaging remarks about my apperance, I am going to not waste my time defending why my nails, although he may think they are nice are real or fake lol.
It is superficial to me and if I was given a compliment and then have the very same compliment negated in the very same breath, uh yea ok thanks for not giving me the compliment i thought you were giving me lol cya.
but to get back to my original though, these individuals that find women they are atracted to as unaproachable based on their looks really should be taking courses in how to embrace their own qualities, goodness, value, and worth, Self love is the greatest love, because with out it how in the world can you possibly understand how to love another individual.
furthermore, if it is just a good time you are looking for, well for petes sake be honest enough to say so, lol, a lot of the women that go to bars are simply looking for a good time as well, perhaps not the good time you are looking for, but what ever.
And to be brutaly honest, we do not really know a person based on one meeting, and every one has a past and that past may influence their present, meaning the beautiful woman that you are bringing down a peg or two might have low self esteem already... and you are just reinforcing that perception of herself, uh ya nice guy...
Get real, if you want to compliment have enough self esteem to be genuine about it...or say nothing at all.

The idea is not to compliment and then insult. It's to compliment and then slightly take the compliment back. It creates emotion, and can create a spark that starts the girl chasing. It's not something that should be done too much.
It works especially well on girls who don't think it will work on them, because they are the ones who don't really understand what it is or how it works.
It's funny how girls don't understand how difficult approaching is (sober). Most women could not ever approach a guy they liked, even those women with good self-esteem.
