I honestly cannot believe I have to write this and spoonfeed this to everyone. Thought people are more mature and intelligent than this and can put two pieces of a puzzle together - maybe it's just being confined at home has raised everyone's T and aggression, and such debates are the outlet.
What's actually at debate is whether or not you SHOULD go for Reds, not whether or not you CAN or CANNOT get them.
Is it though? I though the debate (based on the OP) was about whether you can or cannot get them. Maybe the discussion have changed (I have, as you may have imagined, not been able to keep track of everything in this thread).
But your traffic light post was brought up by Velasco who was, if I am not mistaken, a proponent of the idea that you cannot really turn over reds.
I also base my position on my interpretation of your article:
Reds don’t like you – and won’t like you, no matter what you do – so just delete them from your life forever. Some men get “
one-itis” for that “one special girl” and chase them forever in hope, long after she’s already lost interest and deleted the man from her own life
Seems not very congruent with the rest of your posts.
But on top of everything, the whole idea of RED is a State that a girl holds for that particular moment in time, or at that moment in time.
Right?
Not always. Sometimes it is because of a bad mood and so on... then YES.
But she does have a personality, a persona that is more or less fixed and static that is not prone to change. That persona has a set of preferences, and have over time developed a type of men she is into. Some of it maybe also be linked to biological preferences (although it is possible, but not easy to rewire, to some extent that is, your attraction triggers).
So no, everything is not fluid. In some areas it is, but not in this one.
Can you get a Red while she's a Red?
And then based on what I mentioned above.... the answer is YES.
Because if "redness" is related to her attraction level - a level of it being low or non-existent, then the main message of my original post was that "attraction" is not the end of it. Because you can pull those non-attracted girls through compliance.
(I did also mention that you could affect her filters and basically make her more "green" or "yellow" before you get in - but as I mentioned clearly, I was unsure if this was simply caused by an increase in compliance or if actual attraction was generated)
Or, is your whole argument presumed on the idea that she STARTS as a Red, and then you continue to run game on her so that she CHANGES to a Yellow or a Green and then goes home with you?
I must admit that things get a bit semantically unclear here.
If the traffic light system is related to her attraction level (and considering that one cannot up her attraction) then NO. The girl does not get greener since attraction is not raised, only her compliance.
If on the other hand, you see the traffic light system as her level of initial compliance (irrelevant of her attraction level), then yes I am following you on your line of though.
I usually do not favor semantic discussions, but this one I believe is of major importance.
Is that traffic light system defining her level of attraction or her level of compliance (such as desire)? In your definition you use the word "liking" ("she likes your/she does not like you") - in which case I am assuming your version of the traffic light system is attraction based - but I may be wrong and I will allow you to clarify.
But if it based on
attraction, then no you cannot turn a red to green, but you can still bang a red by upping her compliance.
On the other hand if the traffic light system is based on
compliance then you can turn a red into a yellow or green.
At the end of the day, from a practical point of view, it does not change much because the bottom line remains the same:
You can bang reds
I see not purpose in over debating whether one sees the traffic light system as an attraction indicator or compliance indicator. But it may be key to announce which one one is referring to during the debate.
Because if Red is indeed a state, then you cannot get Reds. At least while she's a Red.
In which case it is purely compliance based?
But we are here saying that Red is not an absolute with any girl, it is in fact a state that can be changed and does change.
If it is compliance based, then yes. Although I am still debating and reflecting on whether attraction can be generated over time. I am closing into the belief that it is possible, but this can only happen:
- Post sex
- Within a longer period of seeing each other (fuck buddy, relationship etc)
- Requires you to bang her a lot and bang her well, and let the oxytocin release itself.
- Requires you connect with her on a deeper level over time
But this is not really what we discussing here, as we are mostly discussing the pre-sex phase - the pick up phase all the way to the seduction/pull phase.
I felt the need to mention this in case anybody in the future confront me with "you claimed attraction could not be created).
Again, I am unsure at this point whether one can create it - although I tend to see a tendency that it is possible.
And, is it or is it not worth it to spend the time to change her state to one where she'll go home with you (at that point she IS a Green or a Yellow).
Is this not what everyone is saying?
I hope I clarified a few things, and I will let you judge. It feels to me your mixing up attraction and compliance. I do not see this as a big issue from a practical point of view since it has limited impact on your results in field, but when it comes to explain things on a forum, especially in such a chaotic debate that is, I must admit quite theoretical, it becomes an issue.
Yes, and people are misinterpreting my words, my posts, and starting a fight over what's honestly a stupid topic to begin with because there are SO many variables at stake.
Convincing people and making a case for how and why you can bang reds is not a stupid topic in my book.
So let's just summarize this:
1. Compliance based Game works. It's extremely effective, it builds on leading, and it can often create results out of thin air where none existed before.
Agreed.
Then the question of a Red - 2. Does compliance based game work with Red states?
You know my answer to this.
And, 3. should you bother to even attempt game with a Red state?
It is not a question that I have taken the time to discuss much here, so I won't discuss it not. But I think I touched upon it in my OP and I do not feel anyone has contributed any additional indicators on whether one should or should not go for reds (I listed skills level, momentum, and contextual settings in my OP if I am not wrong)
We already know compliance based game works - but with a Red it's presumed on ideas of state change. A state is not static, so then the question "should you attempt it"....
You know where I stand on this, but I believe that you must clarify whether your traffic light system (the one you share) is based on compliance or attraction, and if based on attraction, you must explain if and how attraction can be increased (I believe that you can't do that, especially not at the early stages).
All guys that have this question first need to ask themselves this:
1. What do I want with women in my life in this moment?
2. What is the best approach for the situation to get me what I want?
Sure, these are normative questions that are individual. They are good questions, but not practical questions one should ask themselves. But fair enough.
Best,
