>>212776977 (OP)This is a psychological trick to create a deprivation where there otherwise wasn’t one. I do think it works better on women as they will actually go back to you, literally crying and apologizing. Men usually recede into their own bitter bubble and get angry at the world. And men really do not like forgiving people that do these things. Or at least I and the men I know don’t.
Women unconsciously do this a lot, but they are never stealthy enough, smart enough, and nor do they pick up the pieces after. They usually just attempt to destroy you socially/emotionally and leave it at that.
I remember a girl in school shouted at me in front of the class in some inane outburst (I didn’t know some celebrity), then a day or two later when I saw her next (she likely got called out by the other girls. Girls used to be very good at policing other girls from misbehaviour against boys, not sure in today’s psycho era), she gave me big puppy dog eyes, a big hug with her tits (girl’s know how to avoid titty hugs) and a smooch on the cheek. I gave her some mellow response, unimpressed by her titties (they were big and amazing) and just cold shouldered her. Never forgiven never forgotten. She was already dead to me, but a nice girl otherwise.
If you’re charming, a good deprivation tactic is to get chummy with a girl’s friends (the better the friend the more deserving of your focus), taking attention away from the girl. The trick is to never be a dick, but never give her much consideration. When you’re swimming in attention and see her alone and isolated, give her some suggestions and interest, even a simple wink. They usually come to you of their own volition. On the flip, if you keep ignoring her, odds are she’ll crack at some point and you’ll be having a group meeting about how “I feel like you guys don’t pay attention to me anymore” *sob sob*.
Advertisers do similar things. Create the need, then sell the need.
