Lust fades.
Love fades.
Respect fades.
She might not sleep with the next dude, but there's no way to "keep" a woman.
Lemme define keep - That lovey-dovey Honeymoon mode her entire life.
Obviously a man can make it painful for her to leave.
A man can put himself in a position to always replace her..
But he can never HAVE her.
Once I understood that, it made my life much easier.
Dudes always afraid of opening up to a broad - the premise is that if he does, she will either treat him poorly or leave.
It's because he's trying to keep her in a particular emotional state so that she treats him in a particular way.
Once he realizes that this is impossible, it's not up to him, he's free.
Lotta dudes don't want to be free. Them wanting to keep a chick, also keeps them down.
And the same thing happens with the females, even faster if you ask me.
She wants to keep dude in that "we just started dating phase"
- All the attention
- The gifts, meals, dates, etc
- The getting close
- The opening up
- Getting official
- The sharing of tasks
- The showing off her relationship
- Marriage
- Kids
I don't care how fine a chick is, how good the sex is, I'm gonna love her, but that 1st 3 months thing is done.
