Good Girls ‘Do’

Good girls are just bad girls who never got caught.

Allow me relate here a case study I counseled a friend on personally about 6 years ago. I have a very good friend, Ray, that I hired and work with. Though we started out as work associates he bcame one of my better friends and had the benefit of my personally having unplugged him from the Matrix. He was a good student (for lack of a better term), but in becoming so he went through a transformation process. Like most guys fed on a lifetime of feminine conditioning he patronizingly accepted what I was initially teaching him, but privately, he still clung to his AFC mentalities. That is, until the turning point came.

Unbeknownst to me Ray had entertained a flirtatious “friendship” with a semi-attractive PR girl we were working with for a while. He knew what I’d said about LJBF rejections and “playing friends” with women, so he left me out of the loop on the whole affair. He had “dated” her on several occasions, but beyond the infrequent “kiss while drunk” she kept him at arms distance using the standard fillibuster techniques women classically use – “I’m not ready for a relationship”, “I’m not looking for a BF”, “We’re good friends”, etc. She did however keep him in her ‘attention web’ with little carrots of affection for him to pull her cart for about 3 or 4 months. Mind you, Ray was never a chump. He’d hooked up with his share of women, but this cute, “good girl” who was at best an HB7 developed into a ONEitis for him.

This all came to a head when one night she had to do some work with Aaron Lewis (yes, from Staind) while he was doing his solo acoustic act at our casino. To make a long story short, the PR girl ended up buzzed on this night and fucked Aaron Lewis’ tour manager in a classic situation of right-alpha, right-environment, right-conditions. Her mistake was in feeling the need to confess her actions to Ray who’d felt betrayed considering all the investment he’d put into doing what he thought was the right way to go about things. Here was one guy on one night who she fucked in a moment of chemical reaction because “he was hot, I was drunk and one thing led to another,..” versus his 3-4 month personal investment.

This was of course when he consulted me and informed me of everything leading up to it, only now he was at an impass. She appologized profusely to him and held out (once again) the olive branch of a LJBF rejection. He asked me what he should say, and it was at this point he took the initiative to tell her “no, we can’t ‘just be friends’.” He did what I advised him to and he walked away from a woman for the first time in his life. This is when all hell broke loose for her. She’d never been met with this response before and all the cards went straight into Ray’s hands. She would consistently ‘bump into him’ at bars or events to “have another talk”, she did a complete 180 in her attitude with him all in an effort to “be his friend.”

Now I’m exceptionally proud of Ray because, unlike most guys finding the true power of a takeaway, he stuck with it rather than being contented with her chasing him and then giving into the LJBF. He had actually learned a valuable tool that he still uses now – the power of the takeaway. In addition he also came to understand the principle of understanding a woman, not by what she says, but by what she does – he learned the importance of reading behavior. Of course after about 6 or 8 months she stopped pursuing him “to be friends” and he has talked to her in the interim years, but the frame of their discourse has changed. She has respect for him that she never had when he was the pursuer and never would’ve had if he’d surrendered to another LJBF.

Good Girls

This girl, at every opportunity, loved to display her ‘properness’ and would always say she “wanted a man with a good heart” when asked what she looked for in a guy. She was very outgoing as befits a PR person, but at all times she presented herself as someone conscious of how people perceived her and her reputation. Hers was a classic case of basing estimations upon behavior above words. Biology trumps conviction – sexuality, for as much as we think we can, will not go unexpressed. Celibate priests, moralistic republican statesmen, and the pure-as-the-driven-snow virtuous girl you’ve got ONEitis for all want to get off, and they’ll find a way to do so. According to FaceBook she now lives in Montana with a thoroughly beta husband who likely has no idea that she had the capacity for raw, feral hypergamy.

One of the trappings of a woman a guy perceives as a ‘good girl’ is that he’ll have a tendency to pedestalize her by default. White Knights are a given, but even hardened PUAs are prone to want to read more into the personality of a ‘good girl’. A cute-ish HB8 ‘good girl’ is a recipe for ONEitis because she seems to be above seduction. “I just want a guy with a good heart” sound so fairytale perfect and with just the right amount of naivete applied, she comes off as a girl who truly believes Disney wishes really do come true. To guys with Game she’s a jewel in the rough amongst the bitch-shielded mean girls that populate the new hook-up paradigm. To chumpish White Knights she’s an archetype – the innocent damsel who needs to be saved from the world before it corrupts her soul and she turns into all the other women who wont date them. Both of them are equally shocked when she spontaneously fucks an Alpha tour manager.

If you haven’t done so yet, I highly recommend adding The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene to your reading list. In this seminal work he begins by profiling the archetypes of seducers and amongst them we find our ‘good girl’ is really The Natural; a child like innocence that masks a seductive motive. You may be inclined to think of a good girl as a prude, but this is often in error. The good girl needs to be seductively cute enough to make her hypergamy work for her. Any prudishness is reserved for putting a suitor into stasis long enough to evaluate better options, or in the case of our PR girl, the option to capitalize on an immediate Alpha experience.

The good girl’s Game is built around playing to the ‘Quality Woman’ mythos that men harbor. They want to believe she exists among a sea of vapid, self-absorbed sluts looking to cash in before they hit the wall. She’s not the prudish Madonna and she’s not the Whore of Babylon, she’s the cute good girl somewhere in between. She’s only an HB7-8, not the demi-goddess HB9+, so she also emanates a tantalizing potential of attainability. All of this makes for a very idealized, very cemented form of ONEitis until it’s graphically dispelled for the guy suffering from it.

Just like all men have some form of game, women have their own game. Since we live in a feminine defined reality, women’s game is not considered subterfuge, it’s simply how women are, or the feminine mystique. What makes a good girl contrast with ‘other girls’ is still founded within this feminine social normalization.The wise practitioner of Game knows what works best for him, but he must also be aware of the Game being used against him. One of the most important aspects of the principle of Amused Mastery is actually having the mastery to be amused. That may sound cryptic, but what it means is having the experience to know what to expect from feminne Game, mastering it and being able to riposte with an amused laugh.

For example, the operative goal of girl-game is to maximize hypergamy, this is a foundation of Game. So in knowing this, you can craft an amused response to any seduction methodology women use on you. The good girl is still looking for an Alpha, and will still stop the good girl car to get out and fuck him should the opportunity arise. When you deal with the good girl or any of her sister’s methods always see them beginning with the end in mind.

Something I learned and it’s very consistent. When first meeting a woman I ask “are you a good girl or a bad girl?” If she answers “I’m a good girl” she is definitely a bad girl with many skeletons in the closet. If she answers “I’m a bad girl” or “I’m bad sometimes” or whatever she is honest and she probably answers that way because she had a couple exes and went to a couple parties, etc. and she don’t want to sound like a BORING GIRL. The responses have been so consistent with the rule and with the results… Read more »

I don’t know, man. I think you’d have to be a right fool to believe that there are ANY “good girls” out there. In fact, one of my rules is that there aren’t. There simply aren’t. So once you’ve come to that realization, you understand that there are two types of girls: 1) women who will screw you easily 2) women who will screw other guys easily but not you. The first type I can work with, the second type I tell to GTFO. Simple as that. No illusions, no time wasted.

I am completely baffled at how anyone who has dealt with more than a handful of women in this day and age can hold onto any sort of belief that there is a such thing as a “good” girl. Most of these guys who still believe this myth fail to account for the fact that THEIR behavior and attitude determines how much of the good girl/bad girl comes out with any given woman. When they project their disgust for the bad girl, the good girl facade comes out full force. In other words, you are only allowed to see what… Read more »

Quality post here Rollo, especially for those just unplugging.

if you ever write a book on game, this topic should be one of the first chapters. Obivously extrapolated out with more content, but this is vital.

In a world of feminisation, many boys get brainwashed. Even with a father who ‘knows’ this, not all men have the ability to express this succinct enough.

You do, keep up the good work.

Anyways, this year’s episode is San Diego has an interesting dynamic that I think speaks to this post. There is this guy Zach who looks alpha (tall, muscular, football player) but is doing his damndest to totally act beta.

This poor comprehension, but I want to hear it from the horses mouth. Are you saying all women are a bunch of vapid, self absorb sluts, just that she an effective game of pretending to be better? Or just saying girls who looks act acts more to the good girl archetype (and falls under The Natural in Greene’s book) are still attracted to the same qualities we denoted as Alpha? Part of the message I’m reading right now seems to be saying I should view a girl who I knows is still a virgin the same way I would view… Read more »

No. What I’m saying is that the good-girl archetype (and it’s subsequent ONEitis) is reinforced by the perception that she’s an anomaly in a field of women who are characterized as vapid, self-absorbed sluts. The good-girl methodology works best when she’s compared in more absolute terms to other women, and men who buy her fantasy have to make her better by making other women worse. It feeds a man’s ego to think he’s self-righteously foregoing ‘incorrigible bar skanks’ by playing into the good-girl’s narrative. It’s not that a sweet innocent virgin is necessarily lying to you, it’s just that she’s… Read more »

“Good girl or not, 3-4 months were enough for him to seduce her”

Did he seduce her, though? I mean, did he actually get her in the sack? I don’t see that anywhere in the post. All I see is her pursuing him to continue “to be friends.” IMO that does not count as a seduction, unless there is more to the story than was told.

Good girl or not, 3-4 months were enough for him to seduce her, especially that he had already established confidence, that he saw her frequently, and that had private and quiet time together.

It seems to me that the fault is with system not with him. The system has installed the fear of sexual harassment into him.

I have explained to many ‘mature’ girls, most of them raised Catholic that good girls do what they’re told.

Yep – pretty much no innate ability to parse subtext in realtime. I take things at face value – as I’m completely honest. Which is highly problematic. The essence of flirting/cocky funny banter is mixed messages, and sometimes meaning the exact opposite of what you say. Take something like Agree and Ampify.
