I'd like to first point out that women are the ultimate survivalists. They play to win. If you get a chance, go to rationalmale.wordpress.com and look at the article on 'War Brides'. It's a real eye-opener of an article that demonstrates this exact point.

With that said, observing women and how they interact with men and their friends can provide you with a template as to how to best conduct your personal relationships to benefit you the most, and to enhance your personal satisfaction in life. Here are just some items that I'd like to point out:

1.) Myopic approach: Women think very little of the past, little of the future, are more likely to make rash and impulsive decisions (see shopping). They don't dwell as much as men do on the past or the future. In essence, they live in the now and make emotional decisions (not really news to anyone). They look at what's best for them in the short-term and act on it. They won't feel indebted to you for the time you put in. If a better offer comes along when you're in a rut, they will jump ship. Which leads into my next point.

2.) Willingness to sever ties: As Roosh, Victor Pride at Boldanddetermined.com have pointed out, men are builders. As a result, we value our investments. Even if things are bad in a relationship or come to an end, we'll still place some value in the simply due to the fact that we've invested our time into them. Same goes with friendships. We'll try to hold on well past the expiration date simply due to the fact that we've put so much time in. If you haven't noticed, women typically don't have alot of long time friends that they are around alot (I point this out because it's easy to stay 'friends' with someone you see once a year and lives 3000 miles away). They are willing to cut their losses with regards to friendship and relationships at a moments notice. They don't keep people around them that don't benefit them or will at least leave to start hanging out with people who'll benefit them more.

3.) Look out for No. 1: They don't feel bound by codes of honor or ethics to not do something in their immediate best interest. They act. They'll maximize their biological imperative (quality). Maximize yours (quantity). They won't Martyr themselves. Going over the top is not in your interest.

I'm just spitballing here so i'd like to here anyone else's thoughts on this matter. Or simply add to the list.

There's some definite wisdom here. You should never take relationship advice from a woman, but that doesn't mean you should just ignore what she says and does. Once you can safely listen to advice without following or believing it (even subconsciously) it's a fucking gold mine for information on how the female mind works, especially if you know a girl well enough to see how she actually behaves.

Don't pay attention to what a woman says, watch what she does. It's a commandment in game.

Women are diplomats. They will say anything to make sure they don't build contempt or hatred among peers. Why? Because it would ostracize them. Which leads to, "think what you like but behave like others".

Yep, definitely don't ignore women. Listen, observe and dissect. I guarantee you'll still have trouble making sense of things. I remember the times when I would logically break things down into terms and concepts a 10 year old boy would understand, the hamsters just don't want to hear it. Now I try and take it in my stride and look at the humorous side of hamster behaviour. Never forget though, even though the hamster might look stupid and cute, that fur ball is also one of the most dangerous creatures known to man. Be sure to feed it with wholesome game and manipulation.
