Part 10/11:
##18. Competition Increases Attraction
Women are more drawn to men deemed "hard to get," especially when someone else deems them challenging. This invites a subconscious competition, elevating perceived rarity and worth.
##19. Disinterest in Bragging
Men who boast about achievements tend to attract fewer second dates than those who remain composed and humorous. Authentic value does not need to be sold; it is perceived through calm confidence.
##20. Constant Scanning for Better Options
Even when fully involved, women subconsciously scan their environment for potentially superior alternatives. Eye-tracking studies reveal this neurobiological trait, underscoring that hypergamy is a perpetual, subconscious comparison process.
