Anti-Physics at its Finest

I heard that:

Less effort creates more results.



Crowds stink! Looking around at an exciting amusement park on a sunny day, you see the faces of disappointed and frustrated people who have come to the realization that thousands of other people had the same idea – to show up today as well.

I remember walking toward the exit of the amusement park recalling all the fun intense highs from the day – steep roller coaster plummets to soaking wet water rides – that my friends and I took part in and had the front row in most cases. However, I was continuously interrupted by the bitching and outspoken complaining of most of all the other people around us. All I kept hearing was: “I can’t believe we waited 3 hours for a 30 second ride!” and “This sucks! I spent $36 to go on 2 rides and wait in line again for expensive and tasteless food!” My friends caught wind of the complaints and asked me: “Where these people in the same park as us? How were we able to go on all the rides we wanted (some twice and front row) and had almost no lines for lunch?”

The answer was simple. When the park opened and the majority of the people went for the most popular and newest rides, we were going to the shows. While other people were going to lunch, we were on the newest rides and had almost no lines. After most people ate lunch they wanted to sit and rest, so they went to the shows while we rode the best rides again and then ate a late lunch. I purposely suggested ahead of time that we do the opposite of the majority of people in the park and my friends had no idea of the value of this decision until the day was over. This belief that “The masses are asses” and “If you want to become wealthy; do the opposite of what the poor people do.” This way of thinking holds true for amusement parks, business, the stock market and especially in the Social Market Place where the big picture is playing—Life!

Any amusement park of similar example is like a microcosm or life itself. You will have winners, losers and people wondering what the game is all about. I’m here to tell you that there are not too many women breaking down the door of a nice-guy who plays his life according to the masses and is like everyone else in his need to be accepted.

Two guys can go out with the same woman (even at the same time) and get treated completely different. (As mentioned in the opening story at: www.WomenFiguredOut.com ) As a result, it seems she is happy when she is with the Jerk, who becomes like an addictive drug that she cannot get enough of, and complains to her friends about how he mistreats her and reminds her of how boring they (her friends) have become. On the other hand, nice-guys are used as emotional teddy-bears that are left on the shelf or lost in her pile of stuffed animals until she needs to cry on them. If the nice-guy makes himself available enough to cheer her up, then the problem is that he becomes like court jester trying to make the queen laugh and then is sent on his way until he is needed again. In the meantime, she looks forward to going out with her friends, who are more exciting than he is and hopes that the other mysterious, unpredictable guy will call her who is more fun than all of them put together.

Jerks and Nice-guys are about as far as you can get on the social spectrum. Nice-guys appear to be next to perfect. I have news for you: If a woman cannot get any attention from her friends by complaining about your negative points, she will look for one or even make one up if she has to. If you believe that she will brag to her friends about how great you are to point that you will be fighting them off and making her jealous because your demand is going up – you are wrong my friend! I’m not saying this type of action never works, I’m saying that I like to put the odds in my favor and play greater percentages that have a more meaningful impact in order to make a lasting impression in her mind.

If you have many faults up front, which she recognizes (being late, canceling dates, blowing her off, etc.) then believe it or not, as she is complaining to her friends about you, what is going through their minds is that they can be “the one to tame you” and reap the rewards for themselves. It’s like the cowboy that makes a comment about a mustang: “I just can’t break him, he’s just too wild!” The other cowboys know the ego rewards of being the one to break this mustang that everyone is talking about getting thrown from, so it becomes the “next mountain to conquer”. You want to be that mountain they can’t conquer. Think about the climbers of Mount Everest. Even if you attempted to get to the summit of Mount Everest you have the respect of non-climbers and climbers who may have made other successful climbs to other mountains—but those other mountains were NOT Mount Everest. So, “No points for second place”, as they say at the Naval Academy. And to quote the U.S. Marine and Seal trainers: “Do you know what second place is? The FIRST LOSER!” Are you so excited you’re standing on a chair right now yelling: “Boo-Ya Master Chief!”

I really believe that old phrase I heard that states:
The one who loves the least,
controls the relationship.

Nice people must want something. Remember when you wanted that dog, guitar, stereo, car or just wanted to go to the concert of the rock band that your parents hated? Did you ever notice that even when we were younger, our parents sensed when we wanted something simply because of our hungry actions? How did you treat the last person who was “overly nice” to you? Did you feel they were up to something or trying to take advantage of you and insult your intelligence? Well, didn’t it occur to you that women can pick up on this as well? Better than most or all men I might add. Strangely enough, if you are continuously showing her that you are not interested in her by treating her like it doesn’t matter if she is around or not, then you are not a threat to her freedom and are not trying to get or take anything from her by manipulating her. Then her defenses will eventually go down because you are not like the other 150 guys that hit on her today. You are not falling into that trap of sounding like a used car salesman with canned lines.

“Those that don’t look hungry get fed.”

-F.J. Shark’s Golden Rule of the Social Market Place

If you do not appear to be hungry for a woman then she will think that your needs are being taken care of somewhere else and surprisingly enough start believing: 1) You are a disinterested prospect in her product and therefore she can turn you around and sell you on the idea of becoming an interested lead that might wind up kissing her ass and meeting her wants and needs. 2) If you are ignorant enough, she will take it upon herself to try and change you for the good of all society and think that for all she’s done for you, you couldn’t possibly cheat on her or leave the relationship. And 3) Accept you as a challenge because you probably have a girlfriend and there are so very few things a woman considers more exciting than the thrill of the hunt and capture / steal of another woman’s man. This proves that her product and sales offer (her beauty and sexuality) is more powerful than some other woman’s on the planet.

If you can’t seem to “Keep the fires burning” in a relationship, it’s because you are using the wrong means at the wrong time. The way relationships start can be compared to starting a forest fire in the woods. If you start with a big log (too much at one time), you will never get it lit, much less even have the chance to keep it burning. This is just like the Nice-guy who brings and offers too much to the relationship in the beginning and snuffs the flame. The Jerk, on the other hand brings very little, like kindling (broken sticks, dried grass, dead leaves, etc.) that is easy to ignite and then the girl is the one that keeps adding the emotional logs to the fire in order to keep him interested in the hot, spicy, burning relationship. She knows he can “create that spark” with most other women so she needs to keep him interested. Nice-guys don’t create a hot burning fire of desire, they cannot even create that initial spark as in “spark of interest”. Also as found in the sentence by women: “I don’t know what it was. He was nice and I thought we would hit it off, but he had nothing that sparked my interest and there wasn’t any chemistry between us. The date was kinda boring.”

Ah yes, chemistry. If there is one thing that gets two people interested in each other is the “chemistry” between them. If there is one thing that keeps people coming back to each other again and again, it’s chemistry. Even after people are married they cheat and go back to former lovers because of what? You guessed it – chemistry. Well, kept in its simplest form, my definition of chemistry is what I remember from high school which is a reaction between two mixtures in the experiment. If two things were mixed together and didn’t get a reaction, we wrote down -- “NR” for “No Reaction”. Make sure you stand out enough in her mind to trigger a “reaction” by being spontaneous, unpredictable, funny, adventurous, cocky and even a bit outrageous. You will be anything but boring and you will at least have fun in the moment and have some great memories that will keep you smiling for years to come.

If she knows there is a spark there, then she will do anything it takes to keep you around. She will wind up doing all or most of the work in the relationship, in the last her mind is to cheat, because she doesn't have time to even look for somebody better or leave the relationship because she has so much invested and needs to get something out of it. Now she is the social entrepreneur, throwing more good emotion after bad, and she decides to go down with the failing and sinking relationship because she has so much time, effort and energy invested.

Considering there is no such thing as a "love collection agency" in the social marketplace, the only way for her to collect the love she put in, is to be around him long enough until he decides to do something loving for her for a change. The Jerk, by this time, is keeping a roving eye open for some new girl, because this one is considered to be "no big deal" in his mind to do the fact that he was given everything in the relationship for free, and that is exactly the value he has on it.

Would you appreciate a team sport, if they didn't have tryouts and everybody made the team? How would you feel if they gave away all the trophies and awards on the first day for no reason? Athletes around the world put the greatest value on the events that cost them the greatest amount of focus through the high level of competition it offered. Therefore, if you receive your awards and trophies on the first day, why bother showing up for the rest of the season? Nice-guys are a prime example of this by giving a girl free credit and trusting her to soon in the relationship. He also makes the mistake of becoming her personal slave for any worker she needs to have completed this interfering with her having a good time today. The girl links up in her mind, that if she did nothing and are rewarded for it, why bother changing her strategy and invest any emotion and she gets it all for free.

Ever go to the "auto show" in your city? I am usually at the Chicago Auto Show every year, and it amazed me, especially a few years back, when the auto industry was having some difficulty selling cars and the salespeople at the show were more eager and hungry for a sale than ever before. It was like a three ring circus, watching all of them fight to capture your attention so that they can hand you a bag full of information and tell you about their special financing and great deals with cash back if you like what their shiny brochures had to say. As I walked around, I noticed the exotic car collections, which included Rolls Royce, Ferarri, Lamborghini, etc. These cars had few salespeople and had most of the crowd standing in awe as they dreamed about one day getting behind the wheel of one of these incredible cars. They might have even been the reason that most of the people came to the show in the first place. I thought for sure that with the economy in sad shape and the prices of these exotic cars so high, and manufacturers would be offering special deals on them. To my surprise, there was no bag full of information, no high-pressure salespeople and not even an attractive and flashy display of brochures around the cars. Out of all of the exotic cars, I noticed one that summed it all up. It has sign next to it that read: "At 207 mph, who needs of philosophy?!” Meaning, they are not going to give you a special deal or sell you on the new door locking system in the car. I knew a salesman that got a $4,000 extra add-on sale for the rear spoiler option. All he did was tell the customer that the spoiler will make the car go faster and he will look cooler! Ka-ching-- $4,000 sale. The salespeople realize that if you desire the emotional highs bad enough that this car has to offer, you will find a way to afford it. This selling strategy also keeps the general public, financially out of reach, which makes these cars even more rare and special.

If you think this type of arrogant attitude stops at the trade show, you are wrong! This was before the Internet and I really wanted to get a brochure on a Lamborghini, so I drove to one of the dealerships. Thinking again, that if this is where most of the sales take place, he would make sense to offer some information, considering they are asking for 10 times more money than the average car on the street. The salesperson said that they did not have any information on the cars, because their image sells themselves. They are also in no hurry to sell you one of their cars. So if you cannot afford it, then keep your nose pressed up against the window and dream on!

If you have to continuously sell your girlfriend on why you should be going out with her, you are doing the both of you a disservice by creating the same cheap feeling people received when they heard the pitch of the hungry salesperson at the auto show. This will result in her believing in the old mail order saying: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".

One of the greatest key distinctions between Nice-guys and Jerks is -- fear of loss. The Jerk has no fear of loss of the girl he is with because: 1) He knows there is an abundance of girls on the planet that he has yet to conquer, and 2) He has probably had better than the girl is currently with or at least gives her that impression by keeping a roving eye open for someone better.

I believe there are 3 stages in a relationship with comparison to nice guys versus Jerks. They are like the “Acts” in a theater play that keep repeating for every relationship. Act I is the Introduction where the Nice-guy believes that he needs the woman to make his life complete and together they will make a complete person. Because he is so hungry, he is willing to pay whatever price she asks. The Jerk during Act I is not hungry and doesn't need her for anything because he probably has more women than he can handle now. During Act II, the Nice-guy is convinced that the woman is the best woman he has ever gone out with. And the Jerk is convinced that he has had better. By Act III, the Nice-guy is stuffed and mounted as an easy kill when he communicates to the woman that she is all he ever needs and the Jerk is telling her through his actions that she is not enough. And he has had better. These 2 completely different scenarios can send you in opposite destinations such as the difference between being the consolation prize and being the most valuable person in her life that she can't wait to see again and again.

A fork in the road is started and a single pivot point. You make that little 1% shift of where you're going and take that out. A month from now, a year from now, five years from now, 10 years from now, etc. you will wind up in a completely different place, just based on that 1% shift. What path you decide to go down is determined in a moment and then grows further apart as time goes on.

I’m glad I heard that:
Your ultimate destiny is shaped by the
tiny decisions you make one at a time.

One key moment that decides your social destiny is as simple as how you ask a girl out regardless if it is the first or last date. If you want to go to the movies and bring some girl, the way you ask is a key factor in the path you're about to journey down. The conversation between the nice guy and a potential date would be something like:
Nice guy (N.G.): "Cheryl, do you want to do something this weekend?"
Cheryl: "Like what?"
N.G.: "I don't know, maybe like go to the movies or something?"
Cheryl: "What's playing?"
The Nice-guy will read her the entire list of movies at three different locations and wait for an approved response. This is your first step down the path to the destination of being an approval seeking wimp that will be wrapped around her finger by the end of the evening (if she does decide to go out with him, and there is nobody else around to have fun with). This approach gives her too many options to pick from, and too many chances to cancel out. The Jerk’s conversation would go something like this:
Jerk: "Cheryl, I'm going to see XYZ movie, and 9:30 tonight. Do you want to go with?"
Cheryl: “Oh yes! I was hoping you would call. I thought you forgot about me! When are we going?”

The rest is history. This approach quickly gives her the impression that you know which you want, you're going after it (the movie), you have a busy schedule, and you are going to have an awesome time with or without her. The focus of the date is not her, it’s the movie. And if the movie is your focus, she will do her best to distract you and try and keep the focus on her. Even if she cannot make it to the movie for whatever reason, you have given her the impression that seeing a movie is more important than seeing her and you will proceed to call the next girl and her little black book and put her name at the bottom of the list because she had her chance. You are the one in demand and she has the opportunity to have a good time and jump on your fast-moving "train of fun". Now she can just be an unnoticed ship in your harbor instead of being the harbor that your ship wants to get into. Also see:

We all agree that you need to be a little different in order to stand out in a woman's mind. Therefore, in order to unlock the door, you need...
