The 7 Irresistible Qualities Men Want In A Woman, and 101 Things Your Dad Never Told You About Men,
a high-quality man (a man with high self-esteem, ambition, leadership qualities, compassion, cherishes commitment, has high-standards for himself, defends his personal boundaries, knows what he wants, speaks his mind, understands the value of relationships, and exudes masculine, sexual confidence).
Text messaging is a player’s best weapon. With this technology he can communicate casually and effortlessly with a multitude of women, using his texts to test the interests levels of each one until he can select the best two or three girls who appear to be the least demanding of his time AND the most attracted to him.

Men are less equipped to deal with a disrespectful woman in the same way in which women are less equipped to deal with an unloving man.
Presenting yourself as a mature, confident, and desirable woman makes you appear highly selective, high status, and therefore, highly valuable to the opposite sex.
While you should eventually show your vulnerable sides to a guy who’s serious about you, don’t confuse this with parading a low self-esteem.
Fear and anxiety lead to unattractive behaviors in both men and women.
The way a man treats you and the sacrifices he makes for you should be more than enough to help you decide if you’re being led by your insecurities or your intuition.
If you want to be treated as substantial, be substantial.
Resolve to be a woman who only dates men of a higher quality, as a reputation for dating dissolute men can come back to haunt you.

habitual identification with men will cause you to give off that “bro” vibe (platonic, asexual, etc.) when you meet and date men outside your social group.
men will treat you the way you allow them to.
When we have strong romantic desires for another human being it tends to override our ability to evaluate things with clear and unbiased rationale.
The life currency of all relationships are time, energy, and sacrifice – all of which are non-refundable. Don’t waste them on men who don’t deserve your love.
