You can still be cool with a woman that you wanted to get at before. You just have to have the common sense of not letting yourself get caught up in that mindset of you MUST have her. If she doesn't ever want to move up on another level, cool,. but if she is cordial and respectful to me then we can still be cool Ain't no need for me to get mad at a woman that turns me down. Maybe she doesn't want to mess with me on that level, but she's cool at dealing with me on another level. With her doing that, we can be cool, but she just ain't going to get the benefits that a woman dealing with me on the other level is going to get. Now if you can't help yourself when you're around these women and you start getting angry when they don't let you move on to that other level, then yea, cut them off... or if they're just sitting around trying to use you, yeah, cut them off... but let me tell you something. One advantage of talking to fine women even if you aren't romantically linked to them is that other people see that, especially other women and they wonder who is this guy that stays talking to these pretty women? That pretty girl may not have to mess with you but if you can be cordial with her and she say positive things about your name, then you get benefits off of that. And just on a non self-beneficial level, sometimes it's cool to just get to know people. No woman owes me her body or her time so what I look like getting mad at her turning me down. She doesn't want to mess with me on that level? Cool, we can sit back and chop it every now and then, but don't be trying to play me and ask me all these favors, because that's a no-go. Queen benefits go to my queen, and 'friend benefits' go to friends.
