Most guys think once they get to a certain level of success in life, that gives them some kind of golden ticket with the ladies. Unfortunately (or fortunately) that's not the case. Here's Why: http://mindpersuasion.com
4. The claim is that they've been told (I
don't know by whom) or have been
sold the idea (I don't know by whom)
that all they have to do is get a decent
job, get in decent shape, and the
women will somehow flock to them.
5. Then they show up, don't get what
they expected, and get angry.
6. This is a common misunderstanding,
and it's actually present in economics
as well.
7. Many producers, for example,
rationalize their high prices by how
much it costs to produce them.
14. A supply-demand curve that's highly
elastic will show a significant demand
change based on a slight change in
price.
15. For example, if the price of beef were
to suddenly go sky high, people would
simply switch to pork or chicken, and
the demand for beef would plummet.
16. The beef producers could argue until
the cows come home (yuck yuck)
about the water shortage, and how
much it costs to raise a steer these
days, etc.
17. But NONE of these "input costs" (what
it costs to make the product) would
get people to pay the price.
18. Now for some products, like gasoline,
we're pretty screwed.
20. We may drive a little less, but it's not
like we can switch to something else
right away.
21. The bottom line is that input costs,
what it cost to make something, have
little effect on people's desires to pay,
ESPECIALLY if there are alternatives on
the market.
22. Think of it this way. You're standing at
the supermarket, looking at the steaks,
which are $50 a pound.
23. Then you look at the pork chops,
which are $2 a pound.
24. Is the cattle rancher standing there
complaining how much it costs to
make the steak going to affect your
decision?
27. Well, when you show up and expect
women to suddenly fall in love with
you simply because of the work you've
done on yourself, you've got another
thing coming.
28. The ONLY reason a woman is going to
fall in love with you is if she wants you,
based on how you interact with her.
29. And if you DEMAND a high price, meaning
you expect her to be loyal and submissive
and never look at another guy, JUST
BECUASE of your high "input costs"
(whatever work you've done on yourself),
you'll have about as much luck as the
farmer trying to sell steaks at $50 a pound.
38. The more you improve yourself, your
confidence, your frame, your
conversational skills, and everything
else women find naturally attractive,
there will be LESS SUBSTITUTIONS for
you, and your value will soar.
