Unavailable Advice Is Overgeneralized
- Being unavailable or distant is commonly recommended to signal high status, but that generalization is flawed.
- Tucker Max says this tactic only works in narrow situations and is over-applied by pickup communities.
Tucker's Personal Experience With Distance
- Tucker Max admits he used to act distant and it worked on some women when he didn't care about them.
- He connects that success to the women's emotional needs rather than the tactic itself.
Works Only For Specific Women And Situations
- The method works mainly on women with unresolved father-figure issues who crave male indifference as a signal.
- It also works when the man has substantially higher mate value than the woman.
