“Throw them into perilous ground, and they will survive; plunge them into Death Ground, and they will live.â€
Sun Tzu, The Art of War (The Nine Kinds of Ground)
To the unknowing person, this wisdom might at first sight be totally irrelevant to picking up girls. However to the knowing person, this wisdom is of fundamental importance in winning a girl back to your side when you are on the verge of losing her.
Women smell fear and insecurities from miles away. They are even more sensitive when it comes from their man. Women being sensitive creatures needy of security cannot have their man being fearful or insecured, aka weak. They need their man to be strong or phrased in another way they want a strong man (the traditional Alpha Male). Since history it was commonly the trend that some man get all the women while others get nothing. Applied in ancient china, the emperor has thousands of concubines in his harem while the serfs have nothing.
In the modern day arena, the chances of survival for a weak man is far higher that in the old days. Also it is far easier for a weak man to pretend to be strong. The living is easier that it was. The needs to satisfy to ensure survival are less immediate today as it were. In fact if you walked around the streets nowadays, you do see lots of Beta Males and not much Alpha Males. Beta or Alpha irregardless all of them are looking for a mate. A single woman is engaged more times in a day that an average Males does approaching.
Living in a fast pace society as we are today with no real environmental threat to help eliminate the weak, women need to resort to really fast and effective methods to cipher if an approaching male is one which is Alpha or Beta. Even if this male passes the first stage of testing and gets the woman, he will still be continously subjected to more and more rounds of testing till he eventually breaks by showing fear and insecurity. Thereafter the woman leaves in search for a strong male.
The application of Sun Tze’s Death Ground Theory is thus a key in countering the tests by women on a fundamental level of perception. This is what most men understand as deep inner game. A man’s live is forever a state of warfare and a truly lonely one. To be able to accept this fact and to survive and strive is to plunge into Death Ground and live. When a man has truly accepted the fact that he will forever be alone irregardless of where he is, he would no longer fear the losing of his mate. Counter intuitively, his mate thus feels secured and stays forever with him.
