The #1 Goal in Seduction: Making Her Look Up to You (Dating Tips)

March 25, 20265 min read

Here is the number one goal, guys. I want to make sure you leave this post with this cemented in your mind.

Because once you get this, you’ll understand why it’s so important to strategically move the chess pieces around on the board.

It’s not about smooth lines. It’s not about expensive clothes.

It's about positioning yourself so that a woman looks UP to you.

Moving the Chess Pieces (Master Level Game)

To survive in the dating world today, you have to be strategic. You are constantly managing your time and attention to display your value correctly.

And if you want a woman to be devoted to you, she MUST look up to you as a man.

Here’s why guys blow this instantly:

They make it too easy for a woman to earn their attention.

As soon as a woman feels that you are looking up to her—or that she is looking down on you—her respect and attraction drop through the floor.

If she feels she can look down on you, you’ve hit a wall. (If you’ve ever had a woman move on fast, read my post on Monkey Branching: Why She Moved On So Fast to understand how hypergamy drives breakups).

The Biological Cost (The Seed Analogy)

Why does she need to look up to you? It's not a rule we made up; it's Biology.

For us guys, reproduction is different. We can shoot our seed and theoretically get 50, 60, 70+ women pregnant a year. We don’t have to be as selective because our biological cost is low.

But women?

If they get pregnant, they are stuck vulnerable for nine months. They need to be protected and provided for. And then for the next 18 years of a kids life, again she is built to look for protection and provision because of these innate biological differences.

And this is another reason that women are hypergamous by nature—they have an innate drive to seek the HIGHEST status man they feel they can attain.

Even Jordan Peterson explains this well: women select mates based on dominance hierarchies. They let men compete in a ring and take the winner. It is hardwired into their nature to seek someone higher on the social ladder.

The "Six Floors" of Female Desire

There is a great clip in today's video about a "six-floor building" representing male value. The rules of the game are women are given limited information about a man, and based on the information they choose whether they would 'keep' that man and are satisfied, or whether they would 'pass' on that man, and travel up to the next 'floor' to a higher caliber man.

The game went like this:

  • Floor 1: He has a job and a car.

Host: "Are you staying?" Women: "Moving up!"

  • Floor 2: Charismatic, funny, good personality.

Women: "Going up!"

  • Floor 3: He’s 6'4".

Women: "Going up!"

  • Floor 5: Makes $500,000/year.

Women: "I'm going up!"

By the time they reach the sixth floor, they find out it doesn't exist.

The punchline? Women are wired to keep climbing and pushing for "bigger and better." This is why you must maintain your boundaries and display value through Master Level Game (I was a public school teacher for years—it’s not about being rich and famous; it's about FRAME control).

Nice Guys vs. Bad Boys (The Xbox Rule)

I also included a clip of a woman explaining why a guy calling off work for her is a huge turnoff.

She is 100% right.

Nice guys drop everything to cater to a woman. They take off work just to cuddle.

But look at the Bad Boys. They don't do that.

The bad boys are like: "Nah, I’m going to play Xbox. Wait two hours until I finish my fortnite game with my boys, then maybe you can come over."

And women LOVE it. Why?

Because the bad boys aren't easy. They maintain their purpose and priorities.

Reluctantly Serving Time

You should reluctantly give women your time and attention. Make them work to earn a sliver of it.

If you are always too eager and excited to hangout with a woman or to get her out on a first date... the subliminal message that she will be receiving is that you look UP to her... not good.

If you want to get better at creating that 'pull' and attracting her to you, read my post on Never Let Her Think She Has You to see why being hard to get works).

When she starts to chase you, that is when she looks up to you.
