As stated earlier, this can be applied to both men and women. However, it is especially true for men. It has been hard wired into our brains, our very genetic code, for thousands of years. Men have been hunters since time immemorial, and it is far more satisfying to catch something you’ve been hunting for a while, and placed a lot of time an effort on, then easy prey. That being said, if the target is impossible prey, then they will never be “caught.”

If you are given something, you don’t place any value on it. When I was a kid, I had a bicycle that my parents bought for me. I left it out in the rain, never oiled the chain, didn’t bother keeping air in the tires, and the whole thing was ruined before six months had gone by. They wisely refused to buy me a new one. To get a new bike, I had to go out and mow lawns, wash windows, and do other various chores around the neighborhood. It took two months, but I eventually had enough money to buy myself a new bike. This one, I oiled the chain weekly, kept it in the garage at home, bought a top-of-the-line lock to keep it safe at school, and checked the air level weekly.

This same attitude applies to women. If you are given something, you place no value on it. But, if there is a challenge involved, when the hunter finally catches his prey, he feels that it is more precious, and will treat it as such. Don’t make yourself too available, but at the same time, don’t make the challenge of the hunt impossible. This is a fine line to walk and will take some careful practice, but making yourself seem like challenging prey will be well worth the effort.
