Practical Female Psychology: The Joseph W. South Collection

She tests you. She says one thing and wants another. She loses interest and can't tell you why. None of it is random.Female behavior follows rules. Most men were never taught them, so they guess. Guessing makes them nice guys, providers she doesn't desire, or men chasing women they should be choosing.We were those men. One of us gave his wife eight years of security and devotion, and she left anyway. One had what the dating books said women want (decent looks, money of his own, a kind heart) and still couldn't make a relationship last. The third was a natural who never needed the books. Between the three of us, we worked out the rules.Pickup teaches a man to get her home. Then it stops. Stay with her and you're on your own; leave and you're back to step one. In a relationship you're picking up the same woman over and over again, and that takes more skill, not less. Practical Female Psychology for the Practical Man takes what works past the first night, into long-term relationships and marriage.We show you where her logic comes from, why the woman who loves the provider still craves the lover, and what she is saying underneath what she says. You'll learn to read her tests, screen for the right woman, and hold your masculine frame through all of it. We draw on evolutionary psychology and neuropsychology, and we describe how things are, not how they should be.Inside:- Female logic. Why emotion runs her reasoning, and how to lead it instead of arguing with it.- The Lover-Provider Dichotomy. The conflict at the center of female desire and mate selection, and why the nice guy lands on the wrong side of it.- Female subcommunication. The messages under her words, and what they cost the man who misses them.- The three archetypes. The Adventuress, the Materialista and the Good Girl, and how to screen for the one you want.- Her self-esteem. High or low, it shapes how she dates, chooses and commits.- Manipulation and conflict in relationships. How it starts, where it comes from, and how to recognize it early.- Desire and its obstacles. Female arousal, last-minute resistance and the Madonna/Whore complex.- The male qualities that create attraction. What women actually respond to, and what keeps them interested.For the single man learning dating from the ground up, the man rebuilding his confidence after a breakup, and the husband who wants his marriage back.This is the original edition, the one that earned the book its reputation.
