SUCCESSFUL WAY TO MAKE HPD TO CHOOSE YOU

Postby yYyYy » Mon Feb 25, 2013 6:41 pm

I just found out....


Suggest that you are going to give her 24/7 attention,
and with new guy or any other guys, she won't get as much.
If she chooses other guy, she will lose your attention, and that will be significant loss to her

attention is soooo important to HPDs, and if there is a clear deal about, if she chooses you she gets maximum attention, if she cheats, she will definitely lose it, she will choose YOU.


if you don't have that much time for her? *sigh*

give up :mrgreen:

I believe this to be incorrect yYyYy. The reason why you need so much attention in quantity is that (I believe) you score very high on more primitive HPD traits, for which the quality of attention doesn't matter as much as if you scored higher on NPD traits (these are just inferences based on what I read from you, I have no idea of what your profile looks like other than that). But for the very same reason you won't be able to delay attention, so while in the moment you may certainly feel that "If she chooses other guy, she will lose your attention, and that will be significant loss to her" will work, in practice it wouldn't work, because if you cannot delay gratification, you are incapable of taking a course of action that you know is in your long term interest, no matter how big, if it conflicts with your short term needs.

An evidence of this is a post of you made on another thread on this forum which says "Getting 'good' food by giving up 5 minutes walk, feels much worse than getting 'bad' food instantly."
