We need to treat all women as if they are the most beautiful girl we know.
An interesting comment. Do you think this is true? A lot of pickup advice seems to be centered around the idea of conveying ideas like "I'm not that impressed with you. You're pretty, but that doesn't make you special, what else do you have to offer? You're pretty, but there are hotter women - wow, look at that hot woman over there. You have some appearance flaws and I'm going to neg you about them. You're pretty, but I'm used to being around a lot more beautiful girls than you.".
I tend to waver back and forth about what the best approach is to take. On one hand, if a girl is particularly attractive, I will often try to pretend I don't even notice her beauty. On the other hand, sometimes you can compliment a girl on her appearance and you can just see her glow about it, and maybe get all redfaced and bashful.
Sometimes, you can share your attraction (like in the way you look at her), and it will be returned to you. Sometimes, acting like you are above her beauty will make you seem more attractive to her (like you're unobtainable). I think it's one of those paradoxical things - both are true at once, or in different situations.
