Investment Theory from Models
Investment theory from Models flips the script: the more invested you are in her response, the less attractive you become. The less invested, the more attractive. The distinction is between caring and needing. This guide explains investment theory and how to shift from other-investment to self-investment.
- Investment paradox: less investment = more attraction
- Other-investment = energy toward her response
- Self-investment = energy toward your life
The Investment Paradox
The more you need her to say yes, the less likely she is to say yes. The less you need it, the more likely. Neediness radiates. When you're invested in her response, you're signaling that your worth depends on her. When you're fine either way, you're signaling that you're complete.
Self-Investment vs. Other-Investment
Other-investment = checking her reply, replaying conversations, changing plans for her. Self-investment = friends, hobbies, purpose, health. Shift energy from the first to the second. ConfidenceConnect's neediness tracker helps monitor investment levels.
