Women are no innocent angels, passively idling their time like pretty mannequins until a good man sweeps them off their feet. Oh no, they are as devious as any hardcore male player with hundreds of notches. The difference is that women channel their deviousness into screening for alpha males and steering relationships in the direction (marriage) they want them to go in. Your average beta male channels his manipulative tactics \u2014 or what passes for them \u2014 into impressing girls on the first few dates. After that, he\u2019s on auto-pilot. Against the combined relationship management weaponry of your typical woman, the beta male stands no chance&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Women are quite well aware of the power of having hand, and just about everything a woman does in a dating or relationship context that you suspect is a tactic designed to give her hand, IS a tactic to give her hand, whether intentional or subconsciously coincidental. The good news for my super manly male readers is that men\u2019s hand is FAR MORE DEVASTATING than women\u2019s hand, because men so rarely use, or even comprehend, the concept of having hand. So when a man flips the seduction script and uses the same hand-getting tactics on women, the surprising force of it hits a woman\u2019s ego, superego and id so hard her vagina blossoms like a field of spring tulips after a rainstorm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Chateau Heartiste: When privy to the secretive, gated world of women, you learn that the idea of relationship leverage \u2014 aka \u201chaving hand\u201d \u2014 is as well-known and accepted among women as it is among pickup artists and naturals. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=75024\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[210],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dating"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From Chateau Heartiste: When privy to the secretive, gated world of women, you learn that the idea of relationship leverage \u2014 aka \u201chaving hand\u201d \u2014 is as well-known and accepted among women as it is among pickup artists and naturals.
