How Conspicuous Consumption Helps Men Get Laid
On this website, my usual advice is that men do everything in their power to not paint themselves as overly wealthy, in order to avoid coming across as a boyfriend candidate. Certainly, dress well; but don't let on too obviously that you have wealth, a prestigious job, etc., if you do. In fact, if you're unemployed or not regularly employed (e.g., a business owner, an artist, etc.), talk about not having a job.
(this is a little different for men in the 40+ demographic, where you can be written off without some measure of accomplishment; for more on walking that fine line, see "Attracting and Dating Younger Women")
The objective is to prevent her from wanting you as a boyfriend in any way... so that you can focus on ramping up sexual tension and seize the role of the lover instead.
There is, however, one exception to this rule, which really isn't much of an exception at all - and that one exception is conspicuous consumption.
Conspicuous consumption is every bit the attraction trigger in women that things like:
- Preselection
- Good looks
- Perceived physical dominance
... all are.
And it doesn't violate the rule of "don't be stable", either, because men who consume conspicuously very often are not the picture of safety and security.
In fact, they tend to live quite wildly, and very often the most conspicuous spenders are the same men likely to bankrupt themselves at some point.
It's one of those triggers that cuts right to the most primal core of a woman's gut; when she sees it, a powerful, visceral, deep-seated attraction sets in that compels her to want a man, both by showing him to be among the cream of the crop mating-wise, and by advertising his total lack of viability as a long-term candidate.
How this works - and how you can use it, if you have even just a little bit of money to throw around (or how you can really blow it up if you have a lot) - is what this article is all about.
In
the recent article on 
I don't talk
much
about neuro-linguistic programming on here because it's a little less
intuitive a topic, its effects are often
difficult to discern, and you require a certain way about yourself to
really pull much of NLP off to good effect (i.e., a very calming,
soothing, entrancing manner).
Before
stumbling into the world of pickup in late 2005, I'd never used the
1-to-10 scale. Maybe that's because I didn't really have friends; I
wasn't comparing notes on girls. Or maybe it was because I wasn't
trying to impress anyone by telling him I'd nailed a "total 10."
