There are many attitudinal and subtle behavior traits that manifest in men who are presented with options or enjoy even casual social proof. I’m not sure a lot of guys really realize just how sensitive women are to those ‘tells’. You will do things, say things, without thinking about them that indicate on a limbic level what you believe about yourself. Women have evolved to perceive the smallest cues and subtlest of hints – to the point it’s a subconscious subroutine running in their background processing of information about you when they’re not even cognitively aware of it.
They may not be able to consciously put a finger on it, but on some level of consciousness these tells are informing a woman’s limbic understanding of your SMV.
I’ve gone back and forth about covert communications vs. overt communications on this blog over the years. There is a certain school of Game that teaches a bold, direct action wherein a guy overtly inserts himself into that woman’s immediate experience and I can certainly see the merits of it.
Law 28
Enter into action with boldnessIf you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.
There is a certain gravitas that accompanies an extroverted approach with women, the trick is not coming off as a ‘try hard’ and overplaying it, thereby overtly confirming your following a script. When you don’t believe it’s you it’s a pretty good bet she doesn’t either.
A lot of proponents of this in-your-face approach will tell you it’s the only way a “real” man should interact with women; boldly and confidently, and entirely on his terms. And while I agree with this, how you go about effecting that can vary depending on context and condition.
When a guy is initially establishing Frame and drawing the woman (women) of his choosing into his reality, that overt, direct approach can be the deciding factor for a woman’s acquiescing to his Frame. Caught up in the moment (such as an ‘insta-date’ or an encounter she wasn’t expecting) and charging her with an immediate rush of endorphins, a woman’s Hypergamous filtering process gets overridden by that excitement. This is the same principle operating behind planning dates with an excitement factor involved (rock climbing, sky diving, are both exaggerations, but you get the idea) – an emotional attachment paired with an endorphin rush associates that ‘feeling’ with you.
There’s a tendency I think for Red Pill aware men to view women’s Hypergamous / Solipsistic natures as hinderances to men effecting their own interests with them. Shit tests, filtering, sexual prospect comparison and a whole host of other conscious and subconscious vetting inherent to women seems like an insufferable waste of effort for men. However, while Hypergamy may define the rules of the game it’s important for men to understand how to work it to their advantage in both a direct approach and in understanding the subtle filtering that women do.
I’ve read more than a few ‘dating gurus’ define this “being direct with her” approach as the only legitimate form of Game. A Real Man® sees what he wants and goes out and boldly gets it. The problem is that this attitude gets tied to The Male Catch 22 and any derivation is compared with unmanliness.
As I said, while I agree there’s merit to this directness, it shouldn’t be done at the cost of understanding how women subconsciously vet and filter to better discern a man’s (perceptively) true sexual market value to her – as well as how she contrasts his SMV to her self-perceived SMV. There is nothing “unmanly” about having a curiosity for how the female mind works and then using that understanding to your advantage.
Maintaining Frame
It’s one thing to draw that woman into your reality and your psychological Frame, it’s another to maintain this Frame once she’s stepped into it.
I went into some of the subtle ‘tells’ about a man’s SMV in Alpha Tells and Beta Tells and the subcommunication messaging that transfers between men and women. In these posts I described the process beneath those tells and what’s being communicated in them. One thing I believe even Red Pill aware men subscribe to is the idea that their Frame can only be maintained by the same overt and bluntly direct means that helped them create it.
This is the root of men’s initial anxiety of having to upkeep their Red Pill “act”; “Red Pill is impossible to float all the time! What? Am I expected to Game my LTR forever?” The answer of course is internalizing Red Pill awareness into one’s personality, but one thing that also goes along with that is the manifesting of behaviors that help maintain your Frame.
Women pick up on behavioral cues, attitude, how things affect you, how you apply yourself to a task, how you deal with adversity and certainly the interplay you engage in with her while playing with her. If you’re thinking that women wanting men who Just Get It is all direct Game and all above board you need to reconsider that quite a bit of women’s filtering occurs when you’re not ‘on‘ and she’s casually picking up on your behavioral cues.
She want’s you to ‘get it’ on your own, without having to be told how. That initiative and the experience needed to have had developed it makes you a Man worth competing for. Women despise a man who needs to be told to be dominant. Overtly relating this to a guy entirely defeats his credibility as a genuinely dominant male. The guy she wants to fuck is dominant because that’s ‘the way he is’ instead of who she had to tell him to be.
Observing the process will change it. This is the root function of every shit test ever devised by a woman. If masculinity has to be explained to a man, he’s not the man for her.
Much of a woman’s vetting process takes place in her hindbrain. It’s very easy for most guys in western(ized) culture to presume that hot, but vapid, women are too oblivious to really pay much attention to this process. Lost in their hedonism and self-affirmations it’s easy to believe that those processes aren’t as influential in hook-ups as they might be in a long term arrangement, but trust that even though they might be under the surface they are being processed.
Mindset
It’s a Tomassi Maxim now, but bears repeating; Alpha is a mindset, not a demographic. I’ve explained what I mean by this on many occasions, but when it comes to what I consider the abstraction that is Alpha it can primarily be reduced to a particular mindset of masculine dominance and confidence.
I wont belabor this here again, but suffice to say that while I believe there is a natural component to it, I do think that to varying degrees this Alpha mindset, or something approaching it, is a learnable state for men. That said, I also think men need to use caution when when evaluating how to go about cultivating and internalizing this mindset.
It’s very easy to get caught up in the hope for a magic solution to your problems in life. There’s no shortage of motivational speakers and charismatic ‘self-help’ gurus ready to sell you a book, or a sermon, or some self-styled social movement promising to show you how to develop this “winners’ mindset”. It’s important to bear in mind that any mindset you learn is only as legitimate as the realities that inform it.
A lot of hate directed at PUAs, motivational speakers, pastors or even your parents can be traced back to their failings in understanding simple evidential realities. Their hopeful formulas for your success end up being frustrations and anxieties when they’ve proven to fail you because you invest yourself in part, or in whole, in them.
Much of what constitutes Blue Pill conditioning is founded in the same misgivings. It’s very easy to hype up and sensationalize Blue Pill idealisms in ‘optimism’ soaked rhetorics, but these hopes are easily dispelled with a Red Pill aware lens. That’s one reason the Red Pill can be bitter – it’s a real buzz kill when you’re high on Blue Pill optimism.
The primary reason I’ve always been reluctant to be prescriptive with Red Pill awareness in practice is because I’ve always believed that the Red Pill is never going to be one size fits all. While Red Pill truths are universal, their application is subjective to the man employing them. How he develops the mindset that best serves him is contextual to his own circumstance.
That said, I think a pragmatic approach based on Red Pill awareness and the fundaments that make it up would serve men best in developing a Red Pill mindset that works for him. You might think that in light of my recent Purple Pill post that I’m alluding to the ‘coaches’ and re-definers of the Red Pill in all this, but lots of “Red Pill” men are actually Purple Pill hoping that some of the old rules might still apply.
While I emphatically recognize the power of positive thought in altering one’s mindset and changing the course of one’s life, I also understand that zeal for change needs to be tempered with a healthy skepticism. If you find yourself being swept up in a tide of super-optimism that’s the time to question the foundations of it. Positive, motivational memes can become clichéd aphorisms when those foundations are proven to be false.

I was creeped out, but didn’t consciously realize the significance. Now that I think about it, she talked about dance-gasms. Monday-morning quarterbacking.

I guess some of us need to increase our nurturing. Maybe start wearing aprons or some shit.
Attitude will adjust naturally once a man accepts TRP and gets some in-field experience applying it with women. TRP seemed overwhelming until I got out onto the field. Then everything just started clicking. Connecting the dots. It’s so simple. Way simpler than I thought it would be. That isn’t to say it’s easy.

Of course, there is no mention of what structures the sex differences were “supposed” to have, or why brain structures should conceivably be different depending on sex in the first place.

The problem with the framing of the science is that it ignores significant differences in brains between men and women as though brains have to meet some sort of ideal for a male or female brain. It’s a logic error of the distribution sort. Propaganda, of course.
Kind of like saying that there’s no difference between the genitalia of men and women because very few men have a penis exactly 6″ long.
@Andy I think what we’re seeing here largely is just contentious relations between different personality types. Personality typing began as a method of discovering differences in human behavior.

“You really didn’t get the ” empty your cup ” reference? Really?”
I’m Assuming he’s saying I’m not in a state of mind that is receptive to new information.
Great thread, hit tip to Forge the Sky on female cues and Scribblerg on a different dimension to alpha.
@Rollo: “I don’t sell cures, I educate doctors one man at a time.”
That’s the plaque to nail over your door.
@Sun Wukong: I’ve been known to run Hero on loop as a moving picture.
@Andy
“I’m Assuming he’s saying I’m not in a state of mind that is receptive to new information.”
That is my take on you. In my opinion, you are in the fog of war. The inter-sexual war complicated gravely by having the burden of perfomance (work to support family) and the young children taking your time and energy, and a wife who’s biological imperative is to put the children first and your imperatives third.
Sigh, I think part of my problem is just the nature of this place. You mean, part of your problem is … The Internet? Oh, noes! What can be done? I’ve got some random dude named “Anonymous Reader” comparing himself to a zen master and telling me to empty my cup… And people question why I want to filter information?!? The map is not the territory, the symbol is not the referent, and the label isn’t the contents. If the variously handled men who post here give you information that works what difference does the name make? Really, if someone… Read more »
SJF to Andy

Perfect. Perfect summary.
Andy, we can help you, if you’ll just quit fighting with reality.
Forget “ought”, let’s get down to deal with “is”.
Always Say Less than Necessary
Oh! Me, sir! I have a 6,000 word essay on this Law! I’ll be posting it soon…
@kobayashii1681 Hey mate, for me, the UK is not far behind the US when it comes to FI saturation. The news media, all the various talk shows are skewed. White knights are deemed righteous, political correctness gone too far etc. Just yesterday there was a news segment regarding fat acceptance and the whole ‘plus size’ thing being pushed as normal. Rollo does link to many Daily Mail articles here and you can see how they “report”. Of course I simply was not aware of this obviousness around me before stumbling onto this blog. One bright spark is that we have… Read more »
@ Rollo:
“I don’t sell cures, I educate doctors one man at a time.”
This is so apt.
Even without selling, it is good that you are great at advertising and branding, which helps attract men to come here to learn and improve.
I just made the connection that your understanding of men and women has to be a strong part of what makes you good at your actual job (advertising, branding, whatever it is).
Have you seen a movie called “How to get ahead in advertising”?
Andy, Anon Reader: “If the variously handled men who post here give you information that works what difference does the name make? The smart thing to do would be to…focus on the information. The stupid thing to do would be…to focus on the superficial stuff, like the handle or gravatar or some stuff like that.” I tried to post this yesterday but it got eaten by the spam filter. (from an article @ TheRedPillRoom by Ian Ironwood, “Red Pill Roles: The Praxeology of the Dominant Man) The thing is, the Red Pill isn’t an ideology, it’s a praxeology. Why does… Read more »
“The stupid thing to do would be…to focus on the superficial stuff, like the handle or gravatar or some stuff like that.” @AR I don’t focus on that. I’m just amused by the ridiculousness of how this is how I have to interact with like-minded people. “Hey, filter information all you want, but Game is something that is only learned by doing. ” I get in as much “doing” as I can. Which isn’t much sadly. lol. But I still learn some stuff here. Thanks to many kindly gentlemen that help me despite my trying to shit on them. lol.… Read more »
“I’m just amused by the ridiculousness of how this is how I have to interact with like-minded people.”
Up until now Andy, you have not been amused. You have either been in a (grief) stage of denial, anger, bargaining, or depression. Once you are comfortably in the stage of Acceptance, you can relax and work on what needs to be done to have control over your circumstances and the direction of your life.
“Up until now Andy, you have not been amused.”
Yeah. It’s hard to tell when you’re in it. Funny how it’s disconnected from game progress though. Or seems to be at least partially.
“Yeah. It’s hard to tell when you’re in it. Funny how it’s disconnected from game progress though. Or seems to be at least partially.” I take that to mean that you don’t understand that game is a hell of a lot more than scoring easy pussy. Morpheus: I imagine that right now, you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole? Neo: You could say that. Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that’s not far from… Read more »

Hmmm, I mean obviously I read that it’s not but I’ve been learning really fast so if I didn’t/don’t understand it, it has been irrelevant to me either way. So far.
@Amit: It’s always funny watching Milo take on the FI… But man, the UK is in trouble. I recently came across this BBC doc by Amal Fashanu – completely out of sync with any reality by the way – about toxic masculinity and lad culture in football/soccer…Fuuuuck me! No responsibility on women, hyperagency is what’s the norm now. And the white knighting has shot to, as near as makes no difference, socially hyperbolic levels. Anyway, when I read a lot of the comments on those daily mail, etc articles I see the RP is beginning to trickle down – hopefully… Read more »
kobayashii1681 we don’t need the red pill to trickle down. We need the red pill to seep sideways in the dirt, through the grassroots. That way no one will see what’s coming next…least of all the Soros funded feministas.

@kobayashii1681
I think the trickle down will be slow but its going to get alot worse before it gets better.
