<p>Yeah, it’s basically “How to Flirt for Dummies.”</p>
<p>It breaks everything down, though, and completely takes the magic out of socializing. Like I said, everything will turn into a game. It’s deceptive and basically anti-social, and it only addresses the attraction phase, so while I could get girls interested, I didn’t have the confidence to take things any further. I would probably just embarrass myself when they realize I was all talk, then they would lose interest.</p>
<p>After I recovered and forgot about DLVs and DHVs and stopped worrying about portraying dominance, and after I re-learned how to just be MYSELF again, I was still just the same, old me, with low self-confidence and low self-esteem. When I see my friends follow the methods in the book, I cringe on the inside, because I know they’re just basically pretending to be cool. When they use it on me, it ****es me off. One of my friends DHVed me, and it was an example straight out of the book (I didn’t realize it at the time.), and my other friend actually TREATED me like I was of lower value. That’s bullsh</p>
