It’s not so much an intelligence thing but an emotional one. Women are responsible for caring for the very young. To do this you have to be somewhat emotionally immature yourself.
What guy could spent an entire day with a toddler?
That's my view too.
When I'm with a woman, I feel like I should be paid for babysitting. I'm with one right now, and I feel I should be paid for that right now.
Although I only had one horrible experience that ruined them all. But that was my fault for being in love with her. I was watching FEAR [1996] with her, and turned it off at the start of the violent second half of the movie. She told me to play it again next time, which I did. Despite having watched that movie many times since 2001, and NEVER watching the second half because I don't care for it myself, I put it on for her because SHE requested it. She then proceeded to lose her shit and get angry at me once the anti-female violence started. Meanwhile, I was only doing what SHE requested of me, and something I would have absolutely NOT done based on my preferences. And the dumb bitch was into BDSM.
Shit like that I have no tolerance for. And because I simply have this nonchalant attitude towards women, they are into me more than when I go out of my way to be cordial, and to cater to them.
I don't use that knowledge to work at being uncaring towards women because they prefer it - it just makes me not want to talk to them.
I'm back in the mode of literally not giving a fuck anymore. If a woman is being whiney, I have no patience for it. And women, counter-intuitively, respect when you put them in their place.

Except the thing is - I don't want to have to fucking do that. I just have no tolerance for it.
I'm not this way because I read it in a dating book - I actually just don't have any patience for women being that way. And it makes them more interested, when, as I said, I'm NOT doing it to get that result.
Again, I legitimately feel like I need to be paid for babysitting with a lot of women.
