Women's Caution in Dating

Have you ever watched one of those wild YouTube videos featuring a man performing a ridiculous stunt? You know, like leaping from a skyscraper, twisting through flames, and landing next to a pool of crocodiles as if it were just another day?

You've probably seen that kind of content. But what's the typical reaction from women in the comments? Often, they say something like, "This is why women live longer, LOL!"

This illustrates a fundamental truth: women are generally more risk-averse than men. They're usually more focused on safety. Statistically, women are less likely to:

• Request salary increases
• Travel alone
• Leave a stable job to pursue entrepreneurship
• Go to bars solo
• Use the restroom alone in a bar
• Walk home alone after dark
• Engage in extreme sports
• Approach an attractive stranger
• Ask that stranger out
• Initiate the first kiss on a date

In short, women are more cautious than men, a tendency reflected in statistics like car insurance rates, where men often pay more due to their propensity for risk-taking.

In the UK, the term "boy racer" describes a young man who drives recklessly, yet there's no equivalent for women.

The Impact on Dating Dynamics

One major hurdle men face when trying to meet women in bars, on dating apps, or on the street is that these women lack familiarity with them, leading to a trust deficit. Women aren't just concerned about potential chemistry; they also worry about their safety and the risks posed by unfamiliar men. The unfortunate reality is that an unknown man can indeed be a threat, and women are acutely aware of this. Consequently, when encountering new men, they often remain vigilant for warning signs, which can make them appear disinterested or prone to ghosting at the slightest discomfort.

This creates a challenging environment for men, who often feel they are tiptoeing around potential pitfalls. It’s all too easy to feel discarded, akin to a pizza box left over from last night’s dinner.

But what does it mean to be perceived as unproven? I’ll clarify shortly. However, consider this: meeting women through mutual friends alleviates many of these issues.

When a woman meets a man through acquaintances, there's an inherent level of trust. She is more likely to engage with him in ways that she might not if they had met randomly.

Reflect on your past relationships; chances are, many began with women you were introduced to through mutual friends. There's a solid reason for that.

How to Build Trust in Her Eyes

When a man notices a woman, he can typically gauge his interest based on her appearance. Conversely, women aren’t primarily driven by looks. They seek to understand other aspects of a man — such as his personality, humor, social standing, and more. This discovery process takes time, but nature has provided a shortcut: women often rely on the opinions of others to form their judgments.

Essentially, if a woman sees that others whom she respects and admires also regard a man positively, it indicates his likability and value. Whether it’s wealth, character, or social connections, being well-regarded enhances attractiveness.

Recognize this: possessing desirable social connections can significantly boost your appeal. This principle is as evident as the fact that attractive women receive more attention from men than their less fortunate counterparts. Consider the frenzy at a Harry Styles concert, where the admiration of other fans amplifies the allure.

How to Utilize This Insight

Make the most of your social connections to demonstrate to women that you are valued by others. Here are some strategies:

• Feature photos with attractive friends on your dating profile. Ensure the images convey genuine happiness, indicating that you are trustworthy and enjoyable to be around.
• Share images and videos of you enjoying time with attractive women and engaging friends on social media. This showcases the lifestyle they could join if they were with you, a significant factor for women when evaluating potential partners.
• When going out, bring female friends along. Approaching women alone or with other men can lead to high rejection rates. However, being accompanied by attractive women can drastically improve your chances, as it signals to others that you are a desirable partner.
• Ask female friends to introduce you to their acquaintances. A woman’s recommendation can be incredibly influential, increasing your chances of being given a fair shot.

Final Thoughts

If you find yourself skeptical about this perspective, I understand. In my younger days, I would have reacted similarly. I used to subscribe to the Hollywood fantasy that the shy, awkward "nice guy" ultimately wins the girl. Unfortunately, that's not how reality functions.

Consider this:

• If your dating life were satisfactory, you probably wouldn’t be reading this.
• If the answers to your challenges were contained within your existing knowledge, you wouldn’t be facing those challenges.

Therefore, keep an open mind, give this approach a chance, and you might just find success.

Excelsior!
