On Romance. Romantic, the base: anything that will put the woman on a pedestal, make her feel important, wanted, appreciated, secure. Within this base, all the work, sacrifice, extra thought, planning helps constructing that pedestal. The more energy you put into making her feel special, the more you elevate her—over yourself. Which is romantic, to absurdity. This is rom-com world. Gestures like flowers, dinners signal devotion. But pedestal makes her goddess, you servant.

Romantic, the leveler: Women want men they can look up to, men who dominate, conquer emotions, do what no other can, effortlessly, own themselves, raw power. Man not fitting is non-wanted, even if she likes what he does. Reversely, wanted man she still wants, even if dislikes what he does. Conflict? Romance-drama world. Same skittles from wanted man = romantic. Paris trip, park afternoon, text—he’s thinking of her: pure romance. Effortless gestures hit because of who he is.

Any above from non-wanted man: creepy, sad, pathetic. She might want validation, but measures self by man she keeps. Keeping unwanted man, demands romantic pedestal. Still creeped. Romance isn’t gestures; it’s frame. Wanted man’s small acts enchant; non-wanted’s grand displays repel. Dating truth: actions amplify attraction, don’t create it. Pedestal from low-value man screams desperation. High-value man’s simplest touch feels magical. Women sense value instantly, respond accordingly.

Romance on red pill: Know romance makes her feel cared for, but focus on leveler. If she’s not feeling it, not what you do/not do. Who you’re being. Answer not more pleaser. Build self first: confidence, dominance, power. Gestures land right from strong frame. Dating romance isn’t buying affection—it’s byproduct of value. Stop pedestal-building as tactic. Be the man she looks up to. Romance follows naturally, genuine, mutual. Pleasing kills spark; owning self ignites it.
