Glad to hear the knowledge continuing to flow
1) The real woman isn't really going to start trickling out until a month to three months after you start knowing the woman. The first month is like an interview. You're seeing her at her absolute best. Enjoy that, but know that when she's more relaxed around you, that's when the real her will start to trickle out.
2) Sharp said it. Learn what females NOT to deal with. Stay out of your friend's relatives, exes, coworkers, taken women, etc. The repercussions simply aren't worth it.
3) Always have integrity and respect. This goes way beyond merely dealing with women. It's simply a quality of being a respectable man. If you say you're going to do something, go do it. Never come at a man or a woman disrespectfully. If you need to be disrespectful to deal with them, cut them out of your life. NEVER allow someone to pull you down. The only people you deal with are those who are willing to come UP to your level or to pull you up.
4) Be no nonsense, but never lose your genteel nature.
Never be venomous with your nature. You don't have to be angry or mean when dealing with women or even men, but if they bring drama or nonsense around you, calmly tell them to cut it out or cut them out. Never go to their level. Make them come to yours.
5) Hold principle above immediate rewards
This is something we've been talking about the whole thread, but the reason principle exists is because it helps us get out out of the mentality of immediate gratification and of selfishness. Principle also helps us maintain ourselves and our sense of worth in the midst of pressure. Like the Bible says, a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. If you have no principles, you will never really know where you are going. I think the next subject I will really discuss is the overall nature of principles.
6) Deal with those who are mutually beneficial and know how to be gracious, not come-up artists
There are those who you deal with who appreciate what you do for them and reciprocate. These are the ones you deal with because they will help pull you up and help you get back on track when you are down. On the other hand, you have people who you do favors for and they think you did them a favor because they have 'game' and they hustled you instead of you being kind. Learn to distinguish between the two because you really don't want to deal with people who merely use others for their own gain. Obvious in theory... not so obvious in reality.
