Faking sincerity is all it takes

S was explaining one of his theories of male/female attraction… Strange thing is, he finds, the more genuinely bored you are, the more women like it. How strange, you might think. But not at all, not in the least. The hell if it ain’t so… The more bored you are, or the more you ignore them—the more they like it. True—oh absolutely, damnably, livingly true.
Amazing, yes, but true. According to S.
He looks at you with conviction. Now suppose you are, in fact, not bored—but, let us say, interested instead? Well, then, my friend, for God's Sake, pretend to be bored. Very bored. For God’s sake…pretend you must!
Can you win like this, pretending to be bored? According to S, you bet you can win.
If you can pretend to be truly and genuinely bored, the world of fucking is yours and all the pussy in it. Take this from S, take his personal guarantee.
If you can fake sincerity, if you are able to fake lack of interest—non-interest—in a woman who in fact very much has your attention, then you will have it made. Meaning you have a straight—practically a Bee-—line into and up her pussy.
Faking boredom sincerely is all it takes. S is completely, totally convinced. And the fact is he is highly successful with women. Very, very successful. And you can't ignore success.
