Women do not enjoy men artificially putting the brakes on a relationship or falsely playing Mr. Nonchalant.
There is nothing artificial or false about a man slowing down an aggressive woman, any more than a woman doing the same with an aggressive man. Geesh, aren't you the one who's always complaining about double standards?
Again, women control the speed of a relationship. Nothing goes forward unless she wants to go forward. The only way for a man to get even a modicum of control is to display control over himself, and to move a little slower than she is. Now Frenchy, I did not say don't move at all. I said move
slower.

It's quite frustrating and I wish men would stop passing that ridiculous message along to their brothers, as it taints the 2 or 3 good ones left.
Brothers,
do not listen to this woman! You don't do yourself or your woman any harm by moving slower. Especially since your natural inclination is to move waaaayyy too fast!

On top of that, the ALPHA male is still the most widely desired. The Hunter.
Alpha does not automatically equal hunter. Hunter is a job. Alpha is a position that can be gained in a great many ways other than performing one simplistic task.

You don't have to be all friggin Desperado to pursue a woman and that is where some of you seem to have come up short. You probably got, what my mother calls, "beggy beggy" instead of pursuing with confidence. That's why you finished last.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. In order to persue with confidence, a man has to divorce himself from the outcome of the pursute. That means, he has to keep his wits about him, and not go stumbling down hill just because some woman is yanking him around by his chain (or yanking him around by his whatever).

Remember guys, keep your feet underneath you. In relationships, you don't get what you want or deserve. You only get what you negotiate. All negotiations are won on
patience!
