Keep your cool


On a chemical level, having approximately seven times more testosterone may not be a blessing after all; on a cultural level, being raised by women who resent the desserting nature of men or by couples where in order for the relationship to work, the man has, since long, been domesticated by the wife-factor, is no good either.
Therefore, it may sound crazy at first, but one of the ways to attract women to you is by killing your desire for them and keeping your manhood intact. Somewhere along the way, you may come across the horrible prospect of choosing between your woman and your character (i.e., personality, beliefs, peace of mind, etc); but you will also see that by sticking to your guns, you will have them feeding off your hand. So what is the most essential element in the equation? The ability to stand your ground which translates simply into never giving in to their caprices and absurd demands. Treat these psychosomatic peculiarities of the fair sex with a high dose of indifference, allow them to manifest without ever letting them get to you (it takes practice) and if you find it unbearable just firmly but calmly call them off on their behavior. Or, better yet, simply walk away. Like repremending a child, it is useful to speak with an authoritative, masculine tone: the idea is to make light of a situation and not to get on a who-can-raise-their-voice louder kind of contest. Because unless there is a substantial amount of money involved, no one wins anything by coming victorious out of an argument. So if her complaint is legitimate, nonchalantly admit to your wrongdoing, correct the situation if possible, and move on.
Keeping your cool in the initial stages of a seduction will throw off the most gorgeous creature a little bit. Now, the idea is not to ignore her but to rather behave in a way as if her actions or words had little effect on our state of emotion. The point is, few things are quite as exciting to the fair sex as a man who seems or is completely unmoved and yet firmly relaxed whenever around them. It, in turn, helps them to relax and be more comfortable. Like a predator sizing up his pray, keeping your cool is perhaps the most crucial tool at your disposal. It signals to her that you're not desperate, and she will have to resort to other means in order to destroy your self-assured composture.
What is the most common thing men do when they are in front of a beautiful woman? They either (A) get inexplicably anxious or they (B) plain and simple, don’t know what to do, or even if they do attempt something is usually (C) aimed at a need for proximity or closure, or they (D) disguise behind a friendly stance. There are even those who pretend that she is not there. There are those who put their focus right on her anatomy. The list is endless. We’re way too direct in our approach, or way too inhibited, or way too unattached, or way too friendly. Being way too much anything is part of being a man. Undoubtedly, it is easier said than done: after all, how do we put aside our emotions and get on with the job at hand? Remember: it is not something you're doing for anyone else to notice but for yourself. You're not out to adopt a few tricks just so that you can impress a pretty girl at work. What good is it to appear calm and sure of yourself in the face of others when you in fact aren't? In order to deal effectively with others, not just women, keeping focused and centered on your goals and making light of situations will go a long way. So:

  • Instead of "building up the courage" to go and talk to her, focus instead on how you feel. The idea is not to get all worked up, tense and overtly taken whenever the object of your desire is around; the idea is to keep the sexual agenda off the table for a little longer and be completely relaxed about the whole ordeal.
  • Remember: the only thing that is really under your control is yourself, so stop worrying about how others may perceive you or how others will respond to you. That is beyond your power; overall, people will treat you the way you treat yourself. You have to creat the feeling that you have something to offer, so conduct yourself with integrity.
  • Be unshakeable: if there is to be an earthquake, you should be the last thing standing!
  • If she behaves like a little girl, treat her like one. In a condescending manner, say things like, "Oh, poor baby is having a fist" or assertively compromise: "If you behave I'll give you a treat", or in a sly, cocky, slow-paced, emphatic context, pass the following judgement on her: "You look so cute when you're mad". Use an assertive, masculine tone. If none of these work, let her difuse on her own terms and if it exceeds more than a minute or so, just turn slowly towards her and say: "Want to know what I really think about this conversation?", then turn around and exit the room.
  • Get used to rejection: It's part of life, and you should deal with it. Many times, the girl will reject you just to see your reaction. Understanding that rejection has little, if anything to do with you will help you out of your self-absortion and the ever constant need to live in your imagination where the world always seems fair to you. You're a conqueror, a warrior, and poking fun at you, ignoring you, hurting your feelings are the only weapon girls have against you: it's not like they can physically beat you up or suddenly come up to you and pick you up. So take that toy away from them and they will be with nothing left.

The unquestioned Superiority of Men

To all of the feminists out there: we are still masters of the universe. Let’s face it: very few aspects of life in which women’s superiority to men, comes only out of the men’s lack of interest in that particular subject. Women are far better, for instance, at playing mind-games than we are because, well, after willingly getting laid a few times, men lose all desire. Unless, of course, that woman could, somehow, prolong the affair by appealing at the man's insecurities. Maybe get him to do stuff for her, pussify him. In order for that to happen, she must withheld sex. It is her most leathal weapon, her best hand. If we were to give it up, she'd had nothing left. So, it follows: the less you crave it, the more it comes your way. Instead of hiding, try making friends out of them, you'll give up guys for good. Yeah, they pervade our minds, our thoughts, and yet we spend most of our time with friends from the same sex. We are so akin mentally and physically, if it weren't for our sexual drive and the instinct to procreate, we would all be gay.
Culturally, and by nature as well, women have to appear, if not necessarily be so, difficult. They have been manipulating men’s ultra-libido over eons, and in order to get what they want they have to play their cards right. If they were easy, it would be a done deal: as soon as the man would find his satisfaction, once the carnal transaction is over, for the man, everything is over. Since our desire for them is stronger, they know men are bound to end up in another girl's arms, if they let them pass by, and they castrate that impulse to jump up and down by inflicting pain, appealing to our taste for massochism. Look, we all have a knack for things going wrong. It reassures our pessimistic views. We claim wanting to be happy but only engage in behaviors that make us miserable.
It's not my intent to promote abusiveness towards them; that is not what superiority is about. For instance, we are in charge of our infants, but that doesn't grant us inmunity to cause them harm. However, there's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of pain to make healthy civilians out of us all. A domesticated animal is obedient and it is almost impossible training it to be so without depriving it of its animal-self first, without inflicting some pain. The infant eventually learns that the parents will not oblige to every single one of his or her desires. The lesson is painful but also necessary.
We touch bases with misery through existence. Better remember something causing us pain, otherwise we could very well perish. Pain makes us focus, it makes us face reality, it represents an opportunity to grow and a window at freedom, if only we dared to endure and suffer the consequences. Perhaps now, it would be a good time to point out that when it comes to the game of seduction, women are the greatest masters of all. Men are consumed by anxiety, highly driven, mechanical and impetous. It could be said that men are vile, vicious creatures by nature, and it is through the social experience that we learn to somewhat inhibit our nature in order to coexist somewhat harmoniously in an ever s0 chaotic world; but it could also be said that we have been dealing with our animalistic nature for longer as a species and that the social experiment still is a very fragile one. We kill one another, we profess what we can't keep up, we're all talk and little action. We are lazy, yes.
Most species in the animal kingdom are, anyway. After all, we spent hundreds of thousands of years living as animals. Civilization is a relatively new phenomenon in the history of our species. So what does this have to do with superiority and what does superiority offer us? Simply put, society –especially ours –has promoted the idea of equality between sexes. While no one can argue positive aspects to this delusion, the negative portion of it shall be exposed. Throughout history, men in power wanted to secure mating and territorial rights. They’ve tried force, mostly, and when they finally settled into a more sedentary society, those at the top of the hierarchy passed off laws and fomented ideas in order to make sure that those who enjoyed the benefits of power (usually their closest people) continued to do so indefinitely. It doesn’t matter what era or land you may find yourself in, financial resources at your disposition have always guaranteed the proliferation of your kind. Women have always been drawn to men in positions of power, however that power has been crystallized. For that, men have invariably excelled, plotted, murdered, intrigued, metamorphed into greatness or lied throughout history, in order to gain the favors of women. Undeniably, history chronicles the existence of outstanding women –but they represent a minority. For every Maria, Cleopatra, Joan of Arch or Madonna, there’re hundreds of male equivalents: Alexander, Napoleon, Churchill, Jesus Christ, Beethoven. For who is the female equivalent of Socrates? Galileo? Da Vince? Voltaire? Einstein? Of course, without a caring mother or a supportive sister in their lives, they all would have surely perish.
It is often argued that the reason women have not excelled to the greats of their sexual counterparts has to do with the lack of erudite formation. In reality, every great human being, be it man or woman, has undergone hardship. No glory has been handed to them for the sake of it. Even though women had powerful tools in their arsenal. Where upon flashing a smile, a woman may get a door open up for her, a man has to throw the door down in order to make his way in, and then put a humble face, as if he were embarrassed by his power. (You can't be a giant and expect not to step on some ants.)
The German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, in a very organic definition of the fair sex said that they were like a creature between the man and the child. Truly, the world has changed vastly since the age of Schopenhauer: women are graduating at faster rates than ever before and are even rivaling their male competitors. But the truth also lies in that the education system employed favors them in that it is not only less challenging but also strictly feminine: it is more about being a social and harmonious animal than it is about performance and competition. Moreover, females are known to suffer from depression twice as much as males; testostorone has been recognized as the hormone of desire and we possess approximately seven times more of it than them.
Not only are we so much better but also far worse: More than ninety percent of violent crimes in any society are committed by men. The inversed stadistic is true of plastic surgeries, as women count for nine out of ten operations carried out. An average male brain has approximately 4% more cells and 100 grams more brain tissue than an average female brain.
