Defending yourself Against a woman's most powerful weapon: Emotional Manipulation

A very good and insightful post from http://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comme...st_weapon/
The Red Pill is a comprehensive guide on how to achieve whatever sexual/relationship goals you have. It equips the man who chooses the path with the tools in navigation to allow him to get from point A to point wherever-he-wants-to-be. We do this by educating misled men on how the female psyche works, and, more importantly, how you can maximise your own results by knowing how the game is played.
One area we rarely talk about,however, is the trump card in a woman's arsenal, her preferred tool of exploitation of the man and control of the outcomes of the relationship: Emotional Manipulation.
Here is a metaphor for you: In the movie Signs, the aliens are defeated because they are allergic to water. Despite being technologically superior to the humans, they falter and collapse because of something as mundane as water. To the humans, water is nothing. It's something they've lived with their entire lives and they harness and use it to their means. For the aliens, however, water is something completely new. They may know of its existence, but they certainly do not have the means to counteract and overcome it the way the humans do. They simply lack the experience necessary to do so. Putting the story's questionable credentials aside, it presents us with a clear distinction about the dynamic at play. You are the aliens in this scenario; the woman is the humans; and emotions/emotional manipulation is the water.
Women have spent their entire lives bending men to their will by recognising just how much sway they can hold over a man by pushing the right buttons. By passing the logical framework of a man's frame, they access the most primal and visceral reactions of the man and direct them as they will. The poor sap, unaccustomed to emotional warfare, fares no better than aliens who are allergic to water.
This is why used up sluts can somewhat easily find a beta to settle down with them and provide for them when their partying days are done. They identify the beta's emotional need for validation -- which he never got all those years when he was overlooked in favour of far more attractive men -- and position themselves in such a way as to be his primary source of validation.
Forget that he's pulled himself up by the bootstraps while lacking any significant role models. Having a post-wall bar slut should be the sole source of his pride. He doesn't know how to handle himself and his emotions, and for that reason they're putty in the woman's hands.
Another example: "If you did more of X, we would have more sex/be happier/have fewer problems" This is a sneaky statement that does a few things. First off, it goes straight to the ego. The premise here is that the man is failing in some way, and is therefore inadequate. In order to right this inadequacy, he has to do something for her. It sets the woman up as a prize, and positions whatever little favours she may grant as being not only consolation, but the reward for his obedience. This is how men end up with starfish sex once every equinox after months of servitude and walking on eggshells so as not to anger her majesty. It's the underlying mechanisms, reinforced by emotional manipulation, that result in all this.
The upper echelon of this applied manipulation is emotional brinksmanship. This is where the woman forces a decision out of you--always to her favour--based on negative emotional fallout if you don't. Think of the men who have been strong-armed into marriage based on fear of the woman leaving them otherwise, and you wil start to gain an appreciation of how this works. Those significant "either or" standoffs are determinant of where the relationship goes. Once you allow her to shift you based on emotions such as fear and sadness, you've allowed her to hack even deeper into your mainframe and pull her strings with greater ease.
This principle applies to all women, but is doubly true for those who are outliers of attractiveness. The more beautiful a woman is, the more you can be certain that she know just how to work a man's emotions and how to direct the outcome.
The Alpha and His Emotions
This is the heart of the matter. You as a man must learn to understand precisely what your buttons are. For instance, because of my family situation growing up--I have a tendency to be a lone wolf because I know just how fleeting human relationships can be. The way to manipulate that would be to give me a false sense of family and belonging. Gradually, my sense of aloofness and independence would be worn down and replaced by a dependency on the feelings of acceptance that my woman provides for me. And once that happens...good luck.
Know yourself, as the saying goes. Recognise which experiences from your past resulted in what; identify the emotional anchors and triggers that exist in your life. Once you know them, begin to take away their power over you by realising just how fickle emotions are.
To paraphrase a popular character, when you embrace your weaknesses and shortcomings, no one can use them against you.
