WOMEN DEMOLISH men who give them VALIDATION - ways you SEEK her Approval Subconsciously

The speaker argues that any validation or approval a man gives a woman lowers her desire, and catalogs the conscious and subconscious ways men signal high interest and thereby (in his view) destroy attraction.

Key points

  • Core claim: validation is "any certainty that reveals your interest level." Certainty (stability, consistency, approval-seeking) supposedly dissatisfies female hypergamy, so any and all validation lowers desire.
  • He frames attraction as an inverse relationship: the higher a man's visible interest, the lower the woman's. She must keep looking up to him as the prize.
  • Even a billionaire who is 6'6" loses her respect if he says "I love you" and "good morning" daily; status does not exempt a man from these dynamics.

Conscious validation (easy to spot)

  • Compliments, initiating contact (kisses, hand-holding, cuddling), showing appreciation, engaging in long conversations, giving excess time, and saying "I love you" (the highest form of validation).

Subconscious validation (the dangerous kind)

  • Pointless check-in texts ("good morning," "how's your day"), high-interest body language and eye contact, long post-sex cuddling and talking, and visibly smiling/laughing around her.

  • He claims excess validation makes a woman's biology "close off," reading the man as an emotionally weak, bad bet for survival.

  • Three ways to adapt: focus only on the present day (never future-pace), never build attachment by limiting time together, and attract rather than chase (a high-value man's woman initiates contact). Attraction takes 6-8 months to build and cannot be rushed.

Reception

  • Largely agreeing; many said over-validating and complimenting is exactly what cost them women they liked, and quoted lines like "the more you care, the less she will" and "power goes to whoever cares least."
  • Several reported real-world success applying it, including one who said he went from failing with "fives and sixes" to nines texting daily.
  • Notable pushback questioned the absolutism: commenters asked how this squares with happy long-married couples who mutually validate, and whether a loving family is possible with zero affection.
  • Some offered nuance: be warm in person but signal low interest when apart, or give compliments only as a reward when she is putting in effort.
