how women win - manipulation and mind games.

Men's sexual obsession with women puts them at a serious disadvantage in today's world. If a man sees a woman he wants, he can't just force himself on her like he could back when he could plead "continuation of the species" as a credible defense.

But thanks to the adoption of Assault & Battery laws, men's one, last-resort strength—um, strength—is now essentially worthless. In fact, getting sex from women by the threat of physical violence still only works in parts of the Middle East (the parts with Oil).

No, "civilized" man has to get sex the hard way, and that puts them at the mercy of women's unpredictable moods and whims. If a woman doesn't want to put out, what are you gonna do? Rape her? Yeah, good luck getting away with that, Genius (ever watch CSI?).

On the other hand, a woman's last-resort strength—specifically, her sexuality—is perfectly legal and works like a charm. But the real injustice is that her sexuality isn't even her best weapon; that distinction goes to her manipulative, little mind.

Why Women Want What They Can't Have: Why relationships fail.

As we've said before, when it comes to choosing a mate, women aren't the most levelheaded. Not surprisingly, most of the men women end up marrying invariably fail to measure up to their White Knight childhood fantasies. So the first few years of marriage are spent trying to hone their man's "rough edges," subtly trying to "domesticate" him until he acts less like himself, and more like the kind of guy they really wanted to marry (but didn't want to go out and actually find).

To achieve that, women don't just use their body parts to get what they want (even though they totally could) they use their evil minds, too. It's bad enough that men can't think straight around women they like, but when women take advantage of that confusion, it's just kicking a guy when he's down.

The Manipulated Man There is more truth in this than in all of the collected episodes of Oprah Winfrey.

Women can often change a man's behavior substantially using a few standard conditioning methods. These methods work on either sex equally well, but generally require the kind of persistence, patience and underhanded craftiness that few men can muster, or sustain. Yet it's precisely that kind of mental voodoo that women excel at.

First, there is Classical conditioning. This is where women get men to associate one behavior with another. For example, if a woman gives her man a blow job every time he buys her jewelry, he will begin to associate the two and, in no time, the mere thought of buying her jewelry will give the man a raging hard-on.

The second kind of conditioning makes someone associate a particular behavior with a particular consequence. For example, when a man stays out all night with his boys, the woman, who wants to discourage this "terrible" behavior, withholds sex. Assuming he doesn't pack his bags and leave (like he should), the man soon learns that if he wants to get laid, he'd better come home on time. This is called operant conditioning, but is more commonly referred to as "pussy-whipping."

Another common form of manipulation is "passive-aggressive" behavior. In a nutshell, when a woman wants her man to do something—like buy her a new car—she doesn't come right out and tell him what she wants. (That would be effective, but wouldn't make him jump through any prove-you-love-me hoops.) Instead, she drops periodic hints under the assumption that, since her man says he loves her, he can pick up her clues and figure out what she wants without her asking. If he fails, she will, quite illogically, assume that he doesn't love her.

The main flaw in this approach is that it overestimates men. They are just not perceptive enough to notice most signals a woman uses short of slapping. Another woman might be able to decode her veiled suggestions, but men simply aren't equipped with the right emotional sensors to piece together her 100,000-piece all-blue-sky jigsaw puzzle.

Yet women could avoid a lot of disappointment if they'd just say, "Honey, I want you to buy me a car" in the first place. Sure, it's not as romantic as if the car came from the goodness of her man's heart, but it sure as hell beats taking the bus everywhere, doesn't it?

The War Against Men Why women are winning.

This natural obliviousness is man's one defense. Manipulation is useless against subjects too dumb (or, is it too crafty?) to do what they're supposed to do. So use this innate ignorance to your advantage: Ignore her. Ultimately, even if you bust your ass and actually succeed at fulfilling her every need, she'll do what anyone would do: She'll make up new ones. And then more new ones.

Nothing's ever good enough for women, which is why most guys stop trying after awhile. You'll never succeed at making sure she "never wants for anything." Frankly, the wants of the average women are numerous. Too numerous, in fact, to discuss in a book without clear-cutting Costa Rican rain-forests for enough paper.

So not only does ignoring her negate any attempts to control you, it drives women fucking nuts as a bonus. And that's what tilts the Scales Of Love Justice back to even.
