I suppose it would depend if you're speaking in a general HB sense or if you're talking about a LTR chick that you actually have to deal with for the next 48+ hours.
If I've just met and HB and she's doing something that pisses me off then I'll just simply move on to the next.
GFs are a tad different..
When you 'punish' your girl, you're practically teetering on the edge of starting to play games. And let me make it clear.. men should not play games. That is a woman's job and always has been since they were strutting their stuff around in huggies.
Instead I would suggest rewarding your chick when she does something good and simply telling her when she's done something that's made you unhappy. Trust me, take it from someone who has played every game in the book.. don't play these shadow games and start ignoring her over something she's done. It always gets blown way out of proportion, and just makes you look like a fool.
I've turned some of the best nights into nightmares with my Ex's because I decided to 'punish' them over something small and inconsequential.
And once a chick knows what pushes your buttons, she'll keep doing it.. believe that!
I must respectfully disagree.
It wasn't until I realized the power of punishment or correction that I became successful with women.
The fact is that women have the mentality of children. And these days, they are generally encouraged to be spoiled, bratty, entitled children. This is the reality that we are faced with and are forced to deal with.
I have found that the ONLY thing they respond to is the pulling away of attention. You can verbalize with them till your tough cramps up, and they will not only be incapable of understanding your perspective, but they will turn all yoru arguments around on you. Using reasoning on women is equivalent to sinking in quicksand.
When you need to hit a baseball, you use a bat. When you need to hit a nail, you use a hammer. When you need to correct a women, you punish her bad behavior with the witdrawal of attention. Correcting her verbally is the equivalent of trying to drive a nail with a wooden baseball bat. The nail stays where it is and the bat becomes damaged.
It is not about "games" but rather using the tool that does the job. Children need plenty of correction and also punishment from time to time. Withdrawal of attention is the only rod of correction we have.
Trust me, when you understand this principal and know how to nuance it, she will not continue the behavior that results in the removal of your attention.
Here's a free lesson for those of you who are wise enough to hang on Atom Smasher's every word and put it into practice:
Turn your back on her when she says or does something unacceptable. Not in a blatant way. Just subtly disconnect and turn your back and move on to someone else. You will quickly find that this will condition her to behave appropriately. The only pain she feels is the pain of rejection. Words are the weakest, most ineffectual means of correction.
Speak softly but carry a big stick (no not that stick, you pervert). The stick of removal of attention is the one effective tool you have to train your women. All women need training and correction. And burn this into your memory:
Every woman deeply craves correction and punishment (though she will never use those particular words). Every single one has an inner knowing that clashes with the silly modern ideas she verbally spouts off. She wants and needs to be corrected and guided through life. You just need to do it indirectly.
