Enjoy the ride. Be outcome independent

[Glassguy]

I was recently having a tremendous phone convo with a sosuave member, who just so happens to be a great contributor of knowledge around here, and we discussed The Chase. Not being too available. Playing the game to build interest, desire and sexual tension.
One of my passions is trophy whitetail deer hunting (bow hunting). I've been addicted to it since I was 13 years old and I've spent an insane amount of money on buying hunting property, equipment, etc.
The question on table was "if the deer just walked in front of you and laid down so you could shoot them, would you still like to do it?". Obviously the answer is "no", as I find great pleasure in spending months of my time preparing for a moment that might happen and be over in 10 seconds. I get great joy in putting in the sweat and hard work during the summer months all the way up to the second I release an arrow at the one mature buck that I'm hunting. My satisfaction is the hard work and pursuit. The closure is when that one animal presents itself and gives me an opportunity. A culmination of the time and hard work invested into a moment in time that is there and gone in a matter of seconds. The kill isn't the self reward. The opportunity of the chance through my hard work and investment is the reward.

3 points to this ramble:

1. Get outdoors. You don't have to pick up a weapon and be a hunter, but go outdoors and find yourself. I've solved some of my hardest problems in life from a treestand or on my boat.
2. Don't be the animal that just lays down to get shot. Be the one that must be pursued.
3. Enjoy the ride of dating, self improvement and investing in yourself. Improve yourself to increase your amount of opportunities. More importantly, increase your self worth to be valuable and pursued. Never be the prey that lets themselves just be shot. Learn to be the trophy that is desired and pursued by women. Have a passion for the work that goes into doing just that.

Happy Hunting

Good stuff. The 'get outdoors' advice is spot on and I like.

Society has made it to where, if you really stop and think about it, we spend our entire lives in front of a screen of some kind. Computer, tablet, cell phone, TV. Our eyes and brains weren't designed to be filled with blue light all day, everyday.

My favorite thing to do in the world is sit in a canoe by myself in the middle of a lake, with a cooler full of Miller Lite, staring off into the sunset.

I've always thought the 5 stages of Hunter applied to the Social and Seductive Sexual sciences as well....

• As a hunter gains experience and skill, studies have shown that he or she will typically pass through five distinct stages of development. Keep in mind, however, that not everyone passes through all of these stages, nor do they necessarily do it in the same order.
• The five stages of hunter development are:
  • Shooting Stage
    • The priority is getting off a shot, rather than patiently waiting for a good shot. This eagerness to shoot can lead to bad decisions that endanger others. A combination of target practice and mentoring helps most hunters move quickly out of this stage.
  • Limiting-Out Stage
    • Success is determined by bagging the limit. In extreme cases, this need to limit out also can cause hunters to take unsafe shots. Spending time with more mature hunters helps people grow out of this phase.
  • Trophy Stage
    • The hunter is selective and judges success by quality rather than quantity. Typically, the focus is on big game. Anything that doesn’t measure up to the desired trophy is ignored.
  • Method Stage
    • In this stage, the process of hunting becomes the focus. A hunter may still want to limit out but places a higher priority on how it’s accomplished.
  • Sportsman Stage
    • Success is measured by the total experience—the appreciation of the out-of-doors and the animal being hunted, the process of the hunt, and the companionship of other hunters.

A woman's trophy is a man who is willing to limit his options for her, the more severe the limitation, the bigger the trophy... Commitment of any kind from a woman in the modern dating scene is just not the same thing as commitment from a man, commit to the situation, not the person and once you do that, you'll find your loyalty becoming increasingly transient, as it should be.

Loyalty to the situation, understanding how you fit into that situation is key, because when your role is fulfilled, you can kind of relax a bit, the problem are all these uptight mindsets because these men don't know how they fit... If you don't know how you fit, you probably don't.

A great sales saying "If you don't know who the Sucker is, it's you" understanding your the Sucker, you can be a Sucker, it's fine, but when you lack that understanding, you play into your losses.

Being a provider, its a trophy for her, not you, so many dudes get caught up... Man, I watched this video the other day, holy crap I've never saw a guy down this bad in the dating market, hit a new level of rock bottom with this one it's a brutal watch.

Being a duck/goose/pheasant hunter my entire life I've always thought there were a lot of parallels with chasing women and hunting game.

If women or hunting animals were easy or took little skill it would be no fun.

Both are something you can do with your buddies, compare notes, tell stories, learn more, have success, and strike out. At the end of the day its about the adventure along the way.

Nothing beats knocking down a bird or dropping a girls panties for the first time. Up to that point is the fun and exciting part. After that it's mission accomplished.

That struck me cause i've done the same thing. Mines a wood pile swinging an axe for hours
