Now TAH making a guy more approachable - that makes sense to me
I could definetly see going to far being a possibility and placing a guy in the friend-zone.
My thoughts are that TAH is a cooperative female pheromone - a guy wearing it would be subconsciously identified as being part of the ladies group - that means the guy benefits instantly from increased comfort which is hugely important in the initial stage of developing attraction.
Tigerlilly - PUA has largely moved on from the stuff you see on MTV with the Mystery Method. Alot of the bigger companies out there began looking at guys who were naturally amazing with women, and try to deconstruct it and teach that to other men.
The kind of material out there makes sense now - it’s not about tricking girls into liking you (which I think MM is about)… it’s about developing your inner game (confidence, posture, having a life, beliefs, etc) while not ignoring outer game (MM is entirely outer game). Most of the outer game material is helping guys not look like total asses cold approaching women (because sometimes the girl that takes your breath away is not, and will never be, someone you would naturally meet), and helping them get by some of the shit tests ladies give when a guy cold approaches them.
Ladies almost always give shit tests - SO DO GUYS… there just very, very different. Men test for long-term, women test for short-term. It makes sense because the risk/cost curves are opposite for men and women - A man’s opportunity cost rises with length in a relationship (the longer he is pinned down with one lady the less his chances of reproducing - obviously this is not a conscious thought process). A ladies spikes in the shorttern and then falls with length of relationship (As the relationship gets longer the risk of her being left pregnant and alone diminishes)
Don’t take me wrong here I’m not saying all women want long-term and all guys want short-term… obviously other factors are at play (companionship) but it makes sense that guys creat communities to talk about getting past the short-term resistance of ladies and Ladies create communities to talk about getting past the long-term resistance of men (There are far more resources out there talking about how to get relationships to work more smoothly than there are for pick-up - those resources tend to have more women on their forums than men - once again… a general rule… not always applicable)
