I'm positive Shannon wouldn't implement those.
They also seem fear-based. And that whole "who cares the least controls the relationship". Wow, so it'd be a contest to care the least about the other person? Why be in a relationship with them then? What kind of relationship would that be? Awful.
Even a guy like me, one who has never had a girlfriend, never had sex, never been on a date or kissed a girl, and has only had misery and awful, horrible experiences with girls...believes there's more to them than the "who can care less" competition. Let's be honest, that's just a defense mechanism to not risk pain. I doubt it'd work with quality people that will enrich your life, in the real world...
Come on guys. This is all fear-based stuff. You're better than that, and clearly want more out of life, or you wouldn't be here at IML.
So why dont you have Girls then if you know so much about, have you ever thought about that maybe exactly this is the reason why you never had a girlfriend? Seems obvious for me who has the lonely existence here and the fear base is on your side dude you are too afraid to let the nice guy behavior go
I am positive that you wont have a girlfriend and women for a very long time with this thinking and it doesnt suprise me that you even resited sm3 so this speaks for its self how accurate your thinking is, you can fool yourself and have support here but not the universe or even girls they sense if something is fishy
Just keep repeating the same old stuff like you always do but dont blame the magnets or other subs if at the end you still dont get (real world) results
Wow...
So I try to help you see it is a hurtful mindset for you (and to you) to have, to treat women like disposable trash, and that it's likely just fear of being hurt (again?). I've watched friends of mine have all sorts of girls and think that way and each time they've been horribly depressed, empty, and the whole getting girls thing was a mask to hide their deep insecurity and need for external validation. And I fully say I believe they have more value to life than just disposable pleasure, as we all do. And then I openly admit something very hard to do...to admit I have terrible experience with them and that even someone in my place knows they have more value than just sex toys to make a point, and I'm attacked through it? I had terrible, EVIL early experiences with them, that gave me fear to do with them. Something that took me years to get over and I'm still doing it. I tried to be vulnerable to help you see a healthier point of view, thanks for attacking me through it.
It's a shame your views of women are so negative. It's ironic that I have awful, horrible early experiences with them that have deeply set me back and I'd never wish them to happen to my worst enemy. And still I believe they have value, and yet you've had successful experiences with them, and yet believe they have no value and have a low opinion of them. You'd think it'd be the other way around.
Anyway I tried. If you think so little of them, words on a screen from a stranger won't change that. I hope that changes in time, for your sake. There must be hurts or fear causing the view, I'm sure in time the issues can be resolved and the mindset will be gone. "Spinning plates" or other crap, is really just be a band-aid fix to the fear of being vulnerable and emotionally available.
I guess there's no point of me commenting further on this, I was interested in providing a healthy view, not an argument. I'm not perfect, that's why I'm here, and neither are you, that's why you're here. The reality is, I don't have a dog in the race, it's your choice to decide what you want to do ultimately. Best of luck man, you're doing a lot more things right than me, you're getting girls etc. rock on for you, man. But, you didn't seem happy about it, so that's why I commented as I've seen this in several of my "ladykiller" friends.
I wish you awesome success however you want it, man.
