Lover vs Provider and relationships

I know being seen as a provider is looked on with disdain on here. Everyone wants to be the Casanova of Lovers but IF you are looking for a relationship you may want to reconsider. I am never seen as a provider and always as a lover. But if I want to have a relationship with a girl that is sometime more than sex then it can be difficult. No one wants to enter into a relationship with a guy who may cause her emotional harm. With would she build something with someone that is likely to just take off? Recently, an Instadate Russian doctor asked me point blank do I consider myself emotionally responsible for other people?

When I want to have a relationship with a girl. I show her some provider qualities. I talk about my pass LTRs, I show her photos, I talk about my family, I talk about kids, etc. How much of this I need to do will depend on the woman. But I know that if I am viewed as 100% Lover that my chances of having a relationship with any woman is extremely low. A good balance for American women is 60/40: 60% lover and 40% provider. FSU women may need it to be more like 40/60.

Think of it this way: would you have a relationships with a girl you consider to be a big slut? So why would a woman want to have a relationship with the male equivalent of a slut, the Player? This is also the reason why a lot of guys on here will get a SDL but never see the girl again. She just wanted to have some fun that day so she chose someone who she knew would provide exactly that. Recently a friend of mine made a remark to me that I felt was so true: he said he felt like a gigolo that wasn't getting paid.

Lover vs Provider and relationships

The relationship a player should aim to have is far from the classic boyfriend-girlfriend arrangement. That is beta territory, for that role the girl is thinking with her logical mind: How much money does he make, will he make a good dad, will my family like him, is he the right height/race/colour of eyes I want in a boyfriend, what will my friends think of him... You get the worst of the girl. We call it "provider" for a reason, he is the man who gives her shit in exchange for nothing: time, money, attention... She feels entitled to all of it because, quite frankly, she views the provider as being lower value than herself. The classic beta boyfriend. The provider is the man that she is using, not the one that she loves. He gets the vanilla sex and the fake love, while another guy gets the crazy sex and her true love and attention.

No woman ever fell in love with a beta provider. Alpha widows all pine over commitment-phobic men they had a passionate but short affair with, ending in her getting rejected by him. This doesn't mean you can't have relationships with women, but they are lover, not provider, relationships. You keep seeing the girl, you connect with her, you have a good time with her, everything you want to do, but you avoid the boyfriend tag at all costs. It doesn't just have to be about sex, a human relationship is possible without the need to call it boyfriend-girlfriend. It doesn't matter if you want a girlfriend or not, I learned long ago this is the best thing game-wise, whatever your goals are.

Being a lover you let her know you don't want a relationship with her, you are honest about being a player and you escalate as quickly as possible. Once you fuck her, you can think about continuity, fucking her is the most important thing. The more time you spend dating her without fucking the more risk you have of never getting her. If you focus on a relationship before sex, you transmit a needy vibe, you signal to the girl that you are low-value because you have already decided on the first date you want a relationship with her. Even if you don't say it, she picks up on that and is scared away. If you want a woman in soul and emotion, you don't want to be her boyfriend, you may want to spend time with her, but know that the boyfriend tag will alter the relationship to a point where it is no longer of benefit to you. Avoid it at all costs.

I will make a distinction. In the West, if we are talking about R-girls under 28 then it is complicated. Most will fuck you fast and then flake, they are in full-carousel mode. Regardless, if you play the provider game you won't even get to fuck them. There is a way of guaranteeing continuity, which is making her fall in love with you, but that is not statistically reliable and takes some incredibly tight game. With girls over 28 you can play the dating game if you want, but I don't see the point. You would have be pretty desperate to want to spend any significant time with an old Western woman. My guess is you would still get a better version of her in lover mode. You attack her ego by not wanting a relationship, she pursues and you get some effort instead of an old entitled bitter woman.

I emphasize that a player is not the male equivalent of a slut. A player is the ultimate alpha male, he is the absolute prize. Getting a player to fall in love is the object of many romance novels, he has the key element of unobtainability. When women complain about commitment-phobic men, remember that those are the men they want. Commitment-phobia is an attractive trait, it should be a key part of your game. She shouldn't be looking at your credentials to be or not a good boyfriend, she should be wondering if maybe, just maybe, she will get to spend time with this incredible man one more time.

Where this stuff works incredibly is in the FSU. I began doing it in Moldova last year and my results skyrocketed. When you play full lover-mode with an FSU girl, it blows her mind because it is so emotionally powerful. First, you are telling a hot FSU girl, where practically all men are providers (contrary game) that you don't want a relationship with her. Huge blow to her ego, they will often accept the challenge to pursue you. They still want you as a boyfriend, then you do things like talk about a past love, how men only fall in love once (which after telling her you don't want a relationship is a nuclear neg). You inject Western ideas of excitement and adventure, and you escalate like crazy. Heavy heavy resistance, but she never walks away. She loves it. She's never had this excitement before. Such is the effect of it that I would call lover-mode in the FSU a deep-conversion move, girls almost never flake afterwards. Even if you don't get sex, the farther you go, the more intense the experience for the girl and, hence, the more connected she feels to you. You often end up getting girls you would have otherwise lost, and you get them with a far greater emotional intensity. This is counterintuitive because in the West we think of buyer's remorse, but what this really is is an effect of the carousel. Girls flake, if we pull fast and fail, due to ASD from slut self-shame, not buyer's remorse. In Russia you can get a little bit of that, but overall you will lose less girls than otherwise. The girls have no reason to have ASD because they simply haven't fucked enough men to think of themselves as sluts.
You get to spend a great time with a fantastic girl, something that provider-mode probably wouldn't have allowed for. You get the best version of her, you get her quickly and with the strongest possible connection.

Unfortunately it doesn't have the same effect in the West. In the FSU you are getting a good girl to act completely against her social programming. In the West you are just getting a slut to add another dick to her list.

The current top-of-the-line Game is actually moving towards this r-selected Lover streak. There are many reasons for it:
- faster and easier sex
- she knows you are lover from the onset - no jealousy, no drama, little emotional attachment
Especially the last part is highly important also from an ethical viewpoint - you could equally incite all her passion and imagination within a few dates and sweep her off her feet - only to dump her after a few sex-session - while she cries and pines after you for 6 months or more.

The Lover Player is more clean-cut and ethical. Especially Tom Torrero, Krauser, but also the RSD guys are heavily moving into teaching guys this kind of Game.

Becoming a provider should come naturally for most of us - and it probably does.

And frankly after a time Game becomes a part of you in dealing with women - even in a LTR/marriage - so I don't think that Players would have any trouble being in a relationship with a woman.

It all comes down to what you want.

Want to "just fuck"? Well, put your gigolo hat on.

Looking for a wife? You better have you shit together in life.

Lover vs Provider and relationships

From my experience being a pure 100% lover/player never got me solid relationships with top women. If it does for you, then by all means keep doing what you are doing. (Or if you are not looking for a relationship then you can just ignore this thread.) I am relationship based as all of you know by now. I seek quality relationships with quality women. And operating from a pure Lover MO would get me sex with these women BUT not a relationship. I had to present at least a veneer of beta/provider traits to get the relationship.

Also, I have never lost a woman by withholding sex BUT I have lost more than a few by escalating too quickly. Again, this is just my experience with the type of women I deal with. And I don't deal with "average" women and this makes a lot of difference. The quality and intelligence of the woman makes a huge difference in how she will respond to you and your game. I am not saying you have to be either a lover or provider. I am saying you can combine both traits to achieve the best results. Roosh clearly states this in his books on FSU where he had to change his game style. He stated buying girls drinks for example and toning down his hard-core American gaming style.

Let me provide a recent example. I woman I had seduced awhile back but have not seen in over a year recently contacted me. She wanted to tell me she was engaged and was getting married. I told her we should celebrate. She agreed. This is the same woman that didn't even want to date me. To her I am just a lover and now that she's got her provider husband she feels comfortable seeing me again.

I've done that unconsciously in the past before becoming Game-aware. However if you inject visions of Western excitement and adventure - travel and great lifestyle - you inject inklings of "The Life She Could Lead" which is crack for the hamster. It works even more as she sees you staying at Five Star Hotels. That is deep-conversion Game mixed with some Provider elements. Some guys even avoid any inkling of material aspirations by stating that they don't have much money (despite having it). Those are the tools of R-selected Game.

Deep Conversion Game is brutal for her. Would not do it unless I plan to spend at least some time with her.

@Nomad - of course - if you want a LTR with a girl, then you have to inject something. In @Tajikistan's case it is the visions of an exciting life together. It could be something as simple as playing the "Let's Imagine We Get Engaged, Married & Divorced" - routine a la Lovesystems. A simple comment like: "I love how cute that child is." might be enough to convey the boyfriend material status. (My God - that tough Alpha likes children! Yeaah!) For truly wealthy guys it is enough to just show their success naturally - the money makes you prime provider candidate by default. If you can couple it with Alpha Player frame and some fame - you've got the Dan Bilzerian. The reason why this guy is both good for short term flings as well as LTR-dream for plenty of girls are his financial resources and exciting lifestyle. Without money you can be a great Player, but you won't excite the full AFBB dream man imagination - it is no accident that the most coveted fantasy guy in 50 SHADES was a billionaire Alpha. That is their wet-dream.

In my initial days of being a player, the top reason for losing girls was not escalating quickly enough. I've lost way more girls for not escalating quickly enough than from escalating quickly. I've already said that young women today don't want relationships, waiting for sex will just make her leave, there is no reason why she would change her mind. Whether or not you can get a relationship depends 90% on her attitude towards life and men, only a small amount on what you actually do in-set.. Unless she falls in love with you, which is unlikely however tight your game is.

The girls you lose from escalating quickly are the ones who didn't want relationships anyway. There was literally nothing you could have done to get that girl into a relationship, it was lover or nothing. I've always said trying to get a modern young independent woman into a relationship is a waste of time and a recipe for frustration, but if you are fixed on that you must either: 1. Be lucky and find a really lonely girl who is desperate for a boyfriend, or 2. Have her fall in love with you. Sex speed is irrelevant here. Lover before provider, remembering that you will only get to keep the girls that had it in their minds to find a partner anyway.

No, no, no, no. Completely wrong. Money is a logical element, money makes you the good provider in her mind, not in her emotions.. If she classifies you as a provider she won't fuck you fast. The game is to disqualify yourself as a provider in every way, you fuck the girl quickly, you give her the most intense emotional experience you can (excitement, connection etc.), and then you become that guy who she has an "undefined relationship" with. That is the guy she normally falls in love with, you don't need money, that guy is usually dirt poor. Injecting Western ideas is just to get her to fuck fast, you are hardly promising her 5 star hotels. This undefined relationship is intense and passionate, hidden from her social circle, you get the best of her emotionally. In a way you do become her provider, but her emotional provider. It is not just about sex, the girl really likes you and spending time with you is a huge reward for her. You are the value, not anything you have or anything associated to you. That is the kind of relationship you want with a woman. Even if I had money, I wouldn't use it to get women. I'd get more women, but the part of them I would get isn't the part I want.

Lover vs Provider and relationships

All of this discussion is purely academic as Krauser points out here. In the end the only thing that matters is what works for you. You can't listen to anyone because you don't know how they look and what kind of women they get and this includes me. You have to apply the information to your current circumstance and see if it works or not.

I agree on that point. Your post was written a bit ambivalently before. That is pure R-selected Game. My 5-star-hotel fast lays usually came in this combination:
- attraction at the club or street (R selection with K selection clothing)
- let her know I would leave the country tomorrow or in 2 days (R selection)
- invitation to the 5*hotel close by - good logistics (some K selection in there)
Girls still called me up 6 months later. That was in my unaware Alpha-Beta-shift-phase pre-formal Game knowledge.

Probably the R-selection was predominant, but some provider aspect was there - was likely only a marginal by-product - part of it is in a way expected by a girl - especially as it was with girls 15+ years younger than me. Still - there are some money aspects, which help with being a more attractive, more fun guy - aka Dan Bilzerian. If he was financially average, he would still get pussy, but not anywhere near the level & quality he gets now (even discounting Fame).

Would be interesting to hand a guy like Krauser the keys to an Ultra-high net worth individual's lifestyle for a while and see how he observes differences in his Game (partly higher LMRs, higher quality of women etc.). Then we would have more definite data on the money aspect in Game.

The new R-selection focus on Game is truly a massive mind-changer - it helps to become aware of that female dual strategy. We are only adapting.
