The Game Quickie is a new series created with the flickering screen-addicted ADHD scatterbrain in mind. This is for those of you who don’t have the slow eye to make sweet sweet love to a longer game post.
When a girl — a stranger or a loose acquaintance or even a girlfriend — compliments you, the proper response is one infused with self-entitled expectation.
Corollary: the worst response is one which sounds like you think compliments from women are rare and therefore novel and exciting to your senses, or that any compliment from a girl deserves a compliment in kind from you.
So, let’s say a girl tells you that you have a good body (any compliment will do here). The wrong (read: beta) replies include:
An ebullient “Thanks!”
“Wow, you’re the first to tell me that!”
“Really? I’m flattered!”
“You’ve made my day.”
“And you have a good body, too.”
Feigned humbleness. “Aw, really, it’s nothing. I’ve been working out lately.”
“You’re too kind.”
“Women never say stuff like that to me. Thanks!” (yes, I’ve heard betas say this, and it is cringeworthy)
***
Instead, act like women flatter you all the time (and it has made you jaded). The right (read: alpha) responses:
A flatly-intoned “thanks”.
A smirk.
Nothing.
There should always be an air of expectation in your words and behavior in response to a woman treating you well, which she will perceive as your habituation to the romantic attentions of women through your life. A womb-weary ennui enshrouds the man who has “heard and seen it all before” from women, and this communicates a challenge that no woman who thinks highly of her offering will be able to resist taking on.
“I get that a lot.”
That line has never failed me in the long run.

yeah, a lot of people say that a cocky response to a compliment sounds try-hard, but it really depends. I say shit like zillanation’s quip above all the time and the most often response is a fawning laugh. Calibration is key. A simple “thanks” is best 90% of the time, but there’s room to raise the frame every now and then.

Returning the compliment-from-a-compliment just reeks all around. Even when I knew better, I found myself doing as such. More of a reaction than actual thinking it through.
I see when women do this, however, it is usually when one girl is jealous of the other, makes a comment meant to be a compliment, usually along the lines of “That looks so good on you. I can’t wear that” blah blah blah. Which can either be the first girl fishing for a compliment or a sneaky backhanded one in disguise.

Also, the impact of the compliment depends on context. In lead-follow dancing, if the compliment is from an experienced follower, then complimenting her in return helps to keep the connection going and keeps her focus on the lead. Good feels come to followers when an experienced lead compliments them. Leads always have higher status than followers, so his complimenting her from a position of higher status gives her social proof.

lol
[CH: the reason men are evolved to react this way is because men instinctively know women are hypergamous and disinclined to “date down”. so men are doing what is in their reproductive interest. of course, feminist cunts would try to reframe this as “threats to masculinity” but in fact it’s no different than men not wanting to date fatties, or women not wanting to date street bums.]

“The reason, the researchers conclude, has to do with threats to masculinity”
Implicitly (and correctly) acknowledges that intelligence is a masculine quality. The feminists would be outraged if they were intelligent enough to discern that implication.
But in fact they aren’t smart enough. In fact I would guarantee that somewhere out there in cyberspace feminists are using this exact same study to denigrate men and to soothe their egos by falsely constructing a narrative that the reason they are single is they are just too intelligent for men to handle. They are perfect just as they are – blue hair, whale blubber and all. The problem is men, who just can’t handle their ‘intelligence’.
LikeLike
I really haven’t yet met a woman who is more intelligent than me (by intelligence here, I am emphasizing the pragmatic aspect, as to how it is used, and less on the raw-power aspect). I highly value intelligence in a woman (especially of the pragmatic type that is less prevalent). To me a dumb woman is a big minus as far as how much I would value her, attraction-wise.
To me here is how it breaks down:
– The smarter the woman (raw-power-wise), the greater the tendency is for her to use that strength in service of maintaining the primacy of the importance of her feelings in any circumstance (not so smart a strategy pragmatically, except for accentuating entitlement-cuntyness, which to me, just isn’t very smart even from a machiavellian point of view).
– I am a bit of idealistic bent so I tend to dismiss a woman as described in the point above, as not so smart after all (like how is it smart to feel bad? – smarter to feel good I would think, which is not that hard to achieve for womanhood, if you decide to give up the cunt-attitude).
– The women who are both kind, and of very high raw-intelligence-power are exceedingly rare. I have only met one such woman so far in my whole life (a very accomplished older woman who was a friend of the family). I actually didn’t know her well enough to judge how much raw-intelligence power she possessed (but she had the pragmatic aspect of it is spades and was a paragon of human kindness). However I would think even this woman was not as smart as me. It is exceedingly rare to have ultra-high-IQ and kindness in the same woman.. If you ever find a woman like this you should probably at least try to make a friend of her.

If it is about something i’m doing–like my music…I may engage them to ask: “What is it about the music that attracts you?”

tl;dr: I avoided an awkward situation and had sex in a hot tub last night.
Last night I’m walking to the hot tub with a girl I’ve been seeing for a couple of weeks. As we get to the gate, I see two couples in the water. “Cool,” I say to myself, “I’ll introduce her to my neighbors, maybe offer them a beer.”
But we walk in and notice two things about them: they’re very young, probably still in high school, and they’re fooling around. So much for socializing.
We’re already there and I’m a little drunk besides; so there’s no way I’m walking back to my apartment, though my girl is visibly uncomfortable. I grab her by the hand and lead her into the hot tub, and we carry on drinking and hanging out like they’re not there.
Conveniently, one of their moms comes by a few minutes later and breaks up their party. Once they’re out of earshot my girl says, “Don’t get STDs, kids.”
Me: “They’re little sluts.”
Her: “Hey, we had sex on the first date. What does that mean about me?”
Me: “That you were overwhelmed by my sexiness.”
Her: And that you’re a slut.”
Me: It’s true, I’m a total manwhore.”
Then we banged. Later, as we walked back to my apartment, my girl grabs my hand and says, “Thanks for not letting me make that awkward.”

She still found time to kino, including a hand on my chest which was a little longer than incidental.

On point FR to the OP
Last night a broad (HB6) in my social circle was excitedly complimenting me about my weight loss. Twice. First time I matter-of-factly said thanks. Second time I just smiled. And chatted with me about it. I showed little interest in discussing it. Later HB6 asked me to dance. And wanted a second dance immediately after the first. Lasered me at every opportunity with a huge smile. Giggled when I put her hand on my chest during the dance and then HB6 put her other hand on my chest. It’s a legitimate lead and also sexual. Girls like that kind of dancing. At one point HB6 hijacked the dance, but I quickly took it back. A 5h1t test passed.
I told her later that I wanted to dance country two-step with her to a foxtrot. She complied and apologized for her errors while dancing–asked me to not overdance her even though she used to dance CTS competitively. Status acknowledgment of my superior dancing ability. Submissive attitude on her part! I was meh about all this and barely acknowledged her apologies. I didn’t even tell her not to worry about it. HB6 lasered me during the dance, even though the follower is supposed to look over the lead’s right shoulder to keep an eye on traffic. I lasered her when it was safe to do so.
Our final dance was a nightclub two-step, which is probably my best dance, though not my favorite dance. HB6 at first was telling me I was off beat. It wasn’t true, but I stopped dancing briefly, then restarted. It was a 5h1t test. HB6 lasered me during the dance, smiling warmly, so I minimized the distance so that we were dancing close–chest-to-chest and hip-to-hip. HB6 complimented me on my lead. So I asked matter-of-factly with amusement, “So you like my lead?” HB6 replied warmly and enthusiastically, “I love your lead.” I just smiled. HB6 gave up all pretensions of dancing; she put both of her hands on my chest, and started pushing me backwards. I backpedaled, waving my arms helplessly, pretending to be threatened and looking for help behind me at the people watching. Suddenly I reversed course and flipped the script; I took HB6 in both arms and dipped her so deep that her foot slipped, but I held her up. HB6 commented that she was supposed to help hold up her own weight. HB6 acknowledged my strength move. I ignored it. This whole push-dip stunt was just like squirrels chasing and grappling.
The hook was set. I expect that this hook will stay set for a while.
I never consciously decided to expect commendations. It’s part of my frame and I don’t think about it. That’s where you want to be–in your frame where you expect commendations but you don’t think about expecting commendations.
