I compiled the best of Roissy's site in one month of reading the entire damn thing. What set me off was pushing the limit of an old concept I had of women and finally realizing I had it all wrong. I can send you the word document of Roissy if you like. For sure, I have found a lot of nuggets on your blog and your blog was the original way I found Roissy. well said.

It's almost like being a beta (reactionary) is predestined for the vast majority. Sadly most people are just lazy and lack the capacity for self examination. The same applies to dating and attraction. It is delusional to think that women aren't quote manipulating you to elicit the behaviors they desire. To approach dating from a "I'll just be genuine and be myself and she'll do the same" is the same. You're drowning kid and you don't know how to swim. Ultimately people are fickle and selfish and do what is best for themselves. To forgo the opportunity to improve your negotiating position in whatever realm is the height of folly. I don't suffer fools but there are sooo many of them! http://alphadominance.com/?p=485 <abbr><em>alphadominances last blog post..<a href="http://alphadominance.com/?p=526" rel="nofollow">You have the power</a></abbr></em> People’s capacity for self delusion is endless.

People tend to assume that any interest in human nature, strategy or power, is nefarious in some way. But these same people complain about the way that politicians manipulate and the media 'controls' us. They identify the symptoms, but are unwilling to understand the problem. Some people like watching the magic trick. So do i. But i also like to understand how the trick was done. Not necessarily because i want to perform the trick, but because i'm curious. Anyhow, so long as the Godfather is still voted the No.1 film of all-time, i don't believe that people aren't interested in the strategy and power. They are. They just don't want to delve too deeply into the mind of a Don. Or a Pope. Or a President-Elect. It could shatter some of their dearly held illusions. I bump into this all the time.

Yes, absolutely, study human nature constantly, because you will need the knowledge SOON. The 33 Strategies of War is especially useful in this area, because human relations are scary and messy. War is the ultimate scary, messy situation, where you get 1000 of your people killed on the same day you win. That's a best case scenario! This bracing point of view helps toughen up cowards like myself. I just completed my third reading of the book, and I'm still typing up my notes. I'm preparing for a major campaign to bring my wife to heel, and it may require Strategy 33! I thought big decisions in marriage would be made by discussion and agreement. Actually, many are made by one partner stomping and screaming until the other gives in. As in war, there aren't more attractive roles to choose from, so I'll get really good at the former. Keep up the wonderful writing. Mr. T,
