Personal note: when Jon displays any of OPs mentioned behaviours, I assume he's in an awful mood and weigh the situation. If there's any chance I caused any of it, I give him space. If there's a clear source, I make sure he gets attention, tea and snacks and something to distract himself with, like a game or a film. In other words, my natural response to that level of withdrawal is to assume he is ill to a point where he is weakened. Not ill in body, but almost a sort of social/emotional illness, a level of rage or depression that is causing him pain and needs to be fixed, either with time and space or with affection and nurturing.

And it's not that he's all lovey-dovey, girly beta when he's well and happy. Schizoid people don't really do that. He's just... happy. Mentioning random things he read or thought of, responsive to important matters or direct questions, initiating physical contact whenever he feels the urge, throwing a few jokes or banter insults around, making suggestions for what to do the next day, etc. You don't need to be socially dead to be emotionally cool or stoic.

This. OPs post is good, but this should be arrived at gradually. Make it a slippery slope where one item gives a pretext for the next.

It reads as though you're displeased with yourself for being too beta in the past, but kind of punishing her for it

I don't see how any of that is punishment in any way. They like to be treated like that, it makes them attracted to you.

New here. TRP condones LTR?

You're showing her that you're a masculine man with lots of things going on in your life. It's what she's attracted to. By picking her up, you're showing her your physical strength, which they LOVE.

In my post history you'll see a thread I created on picking women up. It's a simple thing that turns them on.

Definitely this. About a month ago, the first time I took a plate home we were making out against the wall, so I picked her up and held her legs with my arms. Then decided to test my new strength by taking her upstairs to my bedroom, while carrying her like that. She has mentioned it at least 3 times since.

Another time she asked me to go to a party with her and "kidnap" her so she could escape. I told her I'd carry her on my shoulder so we could sell the kidnapping idea. She said she finds that extremely sexy, and loves the fact that I can just pick her up any time.

Lift heavy shit at the gym so you can lift (hopefully not as heavy) women.

Outcome independence, just walk away and have something else to do.

What would you do if once you started kissing her, she stops n says she wants to talk about her day?

I would ignore her/tell her to shush and keep going. If she persists then I would likely break up with her.

If she would rather talk about herself than have sex, then she isn't sexually attracted to you.

And how do you handle the inevitable "why are you being so weird/distant with me today" comfort test?

Tell her you have been busy. A big part of being alpha is having a life outside of your girlfriend, so you should have something you could reasonably be busy with.

In theory, you should be a guy who actually has a life outside of the girl, so you will sometimes naturally be busy.

This is kind of a way to fake it.

Fake it until you become it.

Oh it's very worth it. Put in the good work, reap the reward - a plate that worships you.

"Baby I luv you long time!" - Yeah, yeah, I know.

Some guys are so blind that they only see "pathetic manipulation" in it and feel thinking about such things is below them. What they fail to realize is that this, this whole game, is what women innately want and need from us. You are fulfilling her to the max by making her feelings your business, your artform.

Not to mention the fact that SHE is going to be verrrrry crafty at attaining her ends on her agenda, you can bet on that, so if you've left your part to just magically sort itself out via "true love" and "if I have to work for it it's not worth it, just dump her", then you are essentially choosing to stay plugged in, and ironically setting yourself up for some extra spicy drama and the pain of uncontrollable loss in the future.

EDIT: If a man needs to play these games, I'd say he should dump her not because of any fault of hers, but because he desperately needs a few months of monk mode. Real self improvement.

Agreed. You can accomplish the same result by genuinely refocusing on improving yourself and making more time for yourself.

That's all that really needs to happen. Non of this micro strategy BS that revolves 100% around getting a woman to be attracted to you.

"When you see her, be distracted with something else."

Seriously? How about just immerse yourself more fully in a productive and positive pursuit? Instead of feigning distraction you might actually be distracted, and if you're not who the fuck cares? You're improving yourself and the woman will probably see that.
