Girls are actually so refreshed that a guy isn't trying to game them that they fall in love real quick. It's like every guy is basic and read the same manual on women. Be different. You can just be a regular guy, it's not just a choice between simp and douche.
Why? Negging is something that both men and women do, especially when you like somebody - the only difference is the degree of severity. I.e. teasing and light teasing increases the quality of a romantic relationship, whilst flat out making somebody insecure and giving them a complex is for losers. In fact i'd go out on a limb to say that a romantic relationship without teasing lacks chemistry.

Apparently addicts bring it on themselves. Only a small percentage of a population is prone to addiction according to this study.
At first when scientists were studying the effects of ******* on a biological organisms, the ******* was administered by the experimenter. This is fine as long as the researcher wanted to know what the biological response to ******* was. According to the National Library of Medicine, in order to study addiction and patterns of behavior, the rat has to administer the *******. This shows desire for the drug rather than just the reaction to the drug. This allowed scientists to study whether or not the rats would choose ******* over other pleasant stimuli.

Unfortunately, when these studies first began they left the rats in cages alone. The only stimulus available was the *******. When scientist began to consider that there were environmental factors to addiction, they decided to try changing the rat’s environment to see what happened.
The Rat Park

One of the most prominent ******* addiction rat studies is the study involving the impact of environment dealt with environmental factors associated with addiction. A Canadian scientists decided to change the rat’s environment. He built an extensive cage that he called the rat park. This cage featured:

the ability to socialize with other male and female rats,
toys to keep the rats amused,
rat condos, multiple levels for sleeping, and
tunnels so the rats had somewhere to play and hide.

This was nicknamed the rat park. The scientists then discovered something unusual. They found that when given the choice only a small percentage of rats who used the lever with ******* became addicted to the powerful drug.

This study seemed to reveal that the rats who were kept happy and had other things to do did not prefer *******. They rarely used lever that dispensed the drugged water. The rats who were kept isolated in cages that did not contain amusements and other rats were much more likely to become addicted to the drugs offered.

These experiments continued using different variations of the drugs, rats, and environment. According to the published results, the rats who were in the better environment seemed to prefer unadulterated water to the drugs. The scientists even went as far as trying to make the drugged water look more attractive with the same results

if you ponder and meditate on anything long enough, you'll realise how everything is basically your own fault.

Gotta re-up way too often through a night and I never really feel "High" in so far as I feel "High" with other drugs. No idea how someone enjoys coke more than mdma/acid/percs or hell, even weed.
I did it for the first time a month ago. I was blown away by how subtle it was, tbh barely felt anything but was chitfaced so maybe that masked the effects? I genuinely thought we got ripped off but my mates all confirmed the chit was real and it's subtle and they just get a bit more talkative. Movies totally lied to me, I thought I would get an instant boost. I get more out of a literal red bull than a pepsi. Maybe I'm a non-responder? Anyway, perhaps a good thing given the price of it in Aussie land.

LOL yeah try having a nice fatty that's 0.1 grams worth AFTER having 6 drinks and tell me what you think then about the 'subtle' effect. I suggest you don't. But anyway.

That's what the studies show. If you're a well socialized generally happy person the drugs won't really do much for you. You already produce enough of the same chemicals naturally.

If you're a sad sack loner you're much more likely to become addicted.

By negging I don't mean teasing. Of course I tease. I mean genuinely insulting someone to get in their head like "game" clowns.

So I'll say if I don't like an outfit or whatever, but I'm not just going to tell a girl she's fat when she's not as some kind of strategy.

So yeah basically I agree with what you're saying. I actually tease a lot and I expect to get teased back too. It's harmless fun.

I've got a friend that brainwashed his girlfriend with negs and other control tactics and it's honestly not a good look. Everyone talks about how weird it is. He feels the need though because he's ugly and she's not.

That's why I say those sociopathic dating strategies are for men who wouldn't be getting any otherwise. It works if you get lucky but it's pathetic.

yeah tell that to all the people addicted to crack, heroin, and meth, which are all physically addictive. Weed and alcohol can definitely be drugs for loners and losers though. People who are neurotypical don't take drugs to begin with..

her fault for falling for it also tbh - can't have one without the other. Insecurities are a lack of love not only for you but life in general.
