Dishonesty
It is not the richest man who gets the most women and the most beautiful women. Nor is it the most powerful who fares best. And a man who may be in the top one percent of the sexual attractiveness scale will most probably not be the one with the best “body count” (the one who gains the highest number of the most desirable sexual partners).
The man who fares best is the one who knows the tricks of the trade. It is essential to be a good liar. Honesty may not be the best policy, but you want others to believe that you think “honesty is the best policy.” Therefore, repeat often that you believe honesty is the best policy. Only then can you be a perfect liar.
It is essential to lie if you want to improve your body count. You want to be loved by as many attractive women as possible, and you want to be loved as deeply as possible.
But women are not that naive. If they notice that you just want to use them, they will be reluctant to love you deeply, and they may not even agree to sex. Most women are not willing to invest emotion into men who just regard them as temporary partners.
Women are usually prepared to make compromises regarding a man's physical attractiveness if he seems sufficiently serious.
“Seriousness,” at the end of the day, comes down to the willingness to marry and to still be her husband when she is old and no longer attractive.
You do not want that. You want to be a youthful lover to the end of your days, with a new genuine love affair at not-too-long intervals, or a good number of parallel love affairs at all times.
Being honest about your intentions will get you nowhere. That is not where you want to go. You want to land in bed with her, and you want her to agree to that because she loves you. Sex workers do not count in the “body count.”
It will not be the most attractive men, nor the most powerful ones, who score the best “body count.” A marriage fraudster whom nobody suspects will most likely win the trophy. So much for the tricks of the trade.
