HARDDON:


Ask yourself these Qs

1) Why do men ask ladies out n still end up expending time, money , energy, resources n sperm? N wen its time to marry, he still has to buy a ring n get on one strewpid left kneels like a stranded stranger begging for a ride wit her royal ducess ? grin cheesy
he finally marries her, he still has to fend for her, feed her, cloth her, pet her n pound her? angry

One wud think that since he asked her out, she should hv the resources not just to accept, but to spend on him!

Why do d men hv to do everything while she sits like a peahen to enjoy all?



These are just brief intro into where it all started n why men feel that they must ask a gurl out b4 they can have her.

WHY DO MEN ASK LADIES OUT?

1) the most glaring reason unequivocally, is to shunt d circuit btw meeting n mating!
Men want unreaserved access to her body n d best way to do that, is to ask her out n once she accepts( rarely however), he bassically owns her. Unfetted gyration

2) to ward off other potential malemood that might be eyeing her. Men r territorial . Once she says YES to him, he can easily monitor, manipulate n control her activities n she cant accept others ( supposedly) angry
Want her for potential pseudo keeps

3. Men ask ladies out so that they can geniunly have some1 to share life with, grow together in understanding( wit or without sex) n wen its time, get married( very rarely though)

4. Some men ask ladies out cos of d financial benefits they can derive from her( very rarely though)


5) men ask ladies out cos we were wired thus. N r more adventurous, less emotional( shld she reject us, we can easily dust off n move )

These n many more r some of d reasons men feel oblidged to asking ladies out.

Most of these reasons were quite kul in d 80s n early 90s but they hold very little effects now!

Infact ladies in dis age only READ ONE MEANING N ONE MEANING ALONE TO GUYS ASKING THEM OUT NOW! :

"he wants easy access to my pants!"

So instead of ur smooth talk of wooing her to endear her to u, it rather makes her weary of u!

Ladies have evolved brothers! Ya'll shld too!

They hear their mommas saying men are not trustworthy. Their elder sisters saying men r cheats, their aunties saying all men r dogs n once u let them smooth talk u, they eat n take off!


Then here u r, wit no doctrine about the right ways to treat women from ur father coupled wit d high libido he so gladly bequethed to u, approaching same gurls wit gf talks!



What do u think they naturally wud do?

RED FLAG U.!. Use that foolish talk to trap n milk u! Leave u in a limbo, they stand @ d door, not accepting ur gf proposal nor walking away. They hang on to milk u cos u let em.

This is where magas r made, this is where mugus die n full fledged men r turned to Fzone puppies! angry

Wud u blame them? No, You asked them out! embarassed

Whenever I tell people about the bolded (an average dude of this generation spends more time with their mothers than father), the go all bat shii defensive and start yapping about how their parents raised them to be a good person.. That's true but this aspect is mostly neglected. .

Momma/sister will always give you tips that will benefit a woman in the long run cos she's also a woman..


Ever wondered why men of old days (rite of passage eras) are already mature at young ages and are in total control of their shiit.... Nowadays we have 30 yr old kids sef.

I have been able to test your Drills on new catch and it works but my main problem is my female course mates, they know me as quiet/gentle guy, so when I try it on them they are giving me tough time. Despite me trying to socialize with them but it feels like they ain't comfortable with me.

The above convo, is a perfect example of how Men go about programming in ladies' minds, luv towards them.

That is a template u can adapt to different convo situations n it wud still yeild same result.
The secret is, everytime u guys talk, u set word trap questions for her n her answer wud pan out in such a way that make it look like she is seriously dying to have u. N when she falls for it, u dont fail to remind her that u can see she is really falling for u! wink grin

She: so tell me about u
Me: mmmmm, (whispers, i can see she is falling for me already) ........


Me: how is it that everytime u hear my voice, u cant contain ur joy?
She: oh yea? Probably, u make me happy!
Me: hmmmmm, probably U r in Luv with me n not just lady enuf to say it! I have to guild me jrod jelously now. cool tongue
*********----*-----------

Me: do u always talk wit this sonorous bedroom voice or is it only wit me?
She: lol
Me: Chai, some1 is swinming in my luv ooooo
************★********★6*******

U keep swinging this type of line into every convo u have.


They UNKNOWINGLY Start feeling gut level attraction n luv towards u.

Though ive conciously rolled these threads simple, trying to avoid making these drills wear d tone of thesis n theoritical project works, it is expedient to mention here, that
This is what Neil Strauss called Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in his book: The game .
Although the brain behind that term in d book, took it to a spiritual , abstract dimension( n in effects, lost its practical touch) lol


This is what aristotle called Pinciple of Repetitive learning
Hear him:

“it is frequent repetition that produces a natural tendency” (Ross & Aristotle, 1906, p. 113) and “the more frequently two things are experienced together, the more likely it will be that the experience or recall of one will stimulate the recall of the other”

In simple terms, the more u program into her Luv n U, the more she tend to equate u to luv. That merely thinking about u, she tinks about luv. N a smile light across her sundry face grin

U simply press d mumu button again , dis time, non stop! grin shocked cheesy


She didnt just snap out like that. U hvnt been man enuf? U abused her? U went asking boring questions huh? Cos that ansa cud only hv come as a result of some needy / boring question.
You have to tell me d exact question u asked her. WHat lead to d fight n what u told her b4 i can drop a line

There is a catch to mumu switch, u hv to know hw to press it to hv her wanting more of u.
Just like crush can be CRUSHED, the BUTTON can be lost or d other party simply take it back by been wiser!

Even charms fade off people's eyes let alone this swindle

I gat you bro... I've ignored her for a while since last year, strategizing on the next pouncing. What "line" or system do you think I should come up with coupled with the fact that she is such an emotional cecelia...

Bro I think is high time we stop asking Harddon about the Right lines because whenever you are given a line, the surprising thing is that the girl might not respond the way you expect this will then make you come back here again asking for more Drills. In page 1 Harddon discussed on how to think on your feet and come up with a cocky and funny line.
The lines Harddon gives here are guidelines, from experience I think it will be better to use his principles to create funny lines because if you are only interested in cramming lines, when you are discussing with a girl you easily get confused and go blank when she gives you a response you don't expect. Hence the reason for your questions.

I am new here but have been following your thread for a while. You have my respect for all your efforts to transform and boost the confidence of young killaz. To answer your question, attraction is a choice. When a gyal likes you, it's cool. When she doesn't, it's a no brainer.. There is no logic to it. However, a guy can empower himself through the principles here to flip the attraction switch of these girls... I submit.
