• 1 Part I: Reality

• 1.1.1 The Ubiquity of Status

• What determines social status?

  
  Social status is determined by how you behave around other people, how
  other people behave around you, and how you treat yourself.
  
  
  These are the three tenants of being a high status and a highly
  attractive man:
  
  1. treat others well,
  2. be treated well by others,
  3. and treat yourself well.
  
  Later, we’ll see that these make up the Three Fundamentals that much of this book is based on.

• Is social status fixed or relative?

  
  But the point is that social status is not fixed, it’s relative. It’s
  about perception, not reality. And it’s determined by behavior, not
  assets. Just as I experienced in the night club in Boston that night,
  one woman can find you supremely attractive while another one will
  find you supremely cheesy.

• 1.1.2 Desire to Be Desired

• What turns on women?

  
  The new conclusion is that female arousal is somewhat narcissistic
  in nature. Women are turned on by being wanted, by being desired.

• Is status alone good enough for sex?

  
  Status attracts women, but by itself, it only attracts them in a way that they
  want to be your girlfriend, not jump your bones.

• What do women judge men on?

  
  Women mostly don’t judge a man’s status by the car he drives or
  how many VIP tables he buys. They judge it by his behavior, and the
  behavioral trait they pick up on is neediness.

• What are women generally more attracted to, men who are more or less invested in them?

  
  Women are generally only attracted to men who are less invested in
  them, than they are in themselves.
  
  
  By investment I mean the degree in which you sacrifice/alter your
  own thoughts/feelings/motivations for someone else. By less I mean
  that as a man, you should only be willing to sacrifice your thoughts/
  feelings/motivations for a woman less than she is willing to do the
  same for you.
  
  That may sound cold, un-PC, and yes, it made me squirm a little bit
  when I first realized it. But it’s true.

• How do women spot neediness?

  
  Neediness is not consciously calculated in women. I guarantee you
  will not see women walking around with neediness scorecards any
  time soon.
  
  
  Neediness is felt. It’s intuited by women by watching a man’s
  behavior carefully. It’s why women can often become turned off at the most innocuous moment or by the most unimportant statement. Consciously, the action or statement may seem harmless, but unconsciously, it conveyed a large amount of neediness.

• 1.2.1 The Seduction Process

• What is the process of seduction?

  
  Because men value sex more than woman at the beginning of a
  relationship, women tend to be less invested and less needy early in
  the interaction. When a man approaches her and induces her to
  become more invested than he is, this is the process of seduction.
  Once she’s more invested in him than he is in her, sex occurs as a
  side effect of that emotional investment.

• 2 Part II: Strategy

• What to do with unreceptive women?

  
  The goal with Unreceptive women is to identify them and move on
  as quickly as possible. They’re time-sinks. Typically, if women are
  unreceptive, they’re unreceptive for a good reason, and there’s little
  you’re going to do to change that.
  
  Let it go. It is not about you.

• If you don’t act, they willslowly drift into the Unreceptive category.Why?

  
  Because a man who does not act on his sexual urges is a man
  who is needy and therefore unattractive.
