Commitment is to be rewarded
Now that you do realize you are the prize, you need to also realize that your commitment to a woman should be REWARDED, not given away. A lot of you fellas are rushing into relationships because you simply feel you must wrap up this woman by any means necessary. Some of you simply cannot be alone, and that is something you have to work on. These type of men are little different than the woman who jumps into relationship after relationship because she cannot do without a man.
Having this sort of desperation means that you are willingly lowering the value of what you have to offer. A lot of times a man looks at a woman's looks and puts this exorbitant value on it. If that girl had the exact same characteristics as she has now, but was 150 lbs heavier, would you deal with half the things you put up with? No you wouldn't. If you have even a minute ability to use foresight, she very well may gain 50 lbs after you wrap her up and she becomes comfortable with you and feels like she 'has you'. A lot of men put way too high of a premium on something as temporal as looks.
Now what REALLY should be sought and rewarded in women are TRAITS. Is she consistent? Do you actually enjoy her personality? Is she fair? Loyal? After knowing you bring all of this value to the table, this is why you DO NOT trip over a woman flaking on you, lying to you or any of that nonsense. You simply cut her from your life and move on. She is not bringing enough value to the table for you to be concerned over her.
On the subject of value. There are two components to value that are intertwined. There is intrinsic value and perceived value. Intrinsic value is the tangible value or usefulness of something. Your intrinsic value is whether or not your product is actually quality and whether or not it will hold up under duress. Your perceived value is the 'marketing' around your product. It is how you market yourself to actually get proper compensation for what you are offering. A lot of men bring a lot of intrinsic value to the table, but their perceived value is low because they simply do not know how to represent what they are offering and offer it for too low of a price.
Think about this. You may be able to get a nice pair of dress shoes for $40, and it's made of fairly sturdy material... On the other hand, if you want a pair of Jordans, expect to pay at LEAST $100. Jordans have little added useful value than a pair of dress shoes, as they both simply cover your feet and get you from point a to point b, but they sell for much more simply due to the marketing around Jordans. Although there is little inherent value in Jordans, the perceived value in Jordans is great... And they raise it even higher utilizing principles such as scarcity, aka we're offering these for a limited time only.
A lot of men realize they bring a lot to the table, but their problem is in perception or communicating the value of what they are offering and actually going through and ensuring that they are getting fair value. They are so easily talked down and hustled out of their real value. Why? Ignorance and desperation. They MUST be with a woman or they just can't live... Desperation will breed several problems. Ignorance in they simply do not realize this principle and continually offer themselves for much less than they are worth. if you had a pair of expensive Jordans in your closet, but you didn't know what they were, yet I also knew that you didn't know what they were worth, I would be able to talk you into parting them for much less than you would have charged me if you knew what you actually had. I would have been able to GAME you. You got hustled. This is what is happening in this day and age. A lot of men are simply getting hustled because they do not know the worth of what they are bringing to the table, they don't know how to market themselves well or they do not have the guts to actually demand proper compensation.
