I'm pretty new here, this is the first thread I've started, Here we go.
Basically the principle of the least concerned is that the partner that thinks the least of the other partner is the one that controls the relationship.I'm here to tell you that this is so. Now my question is how can this new found knowledge be put to good use?

I don't know if it can be put to good use really

If you are more emotionally involved in the relationship, you have less power.

But you can't really choose how emotionally involved you get. You can't choose the balance of power.

The only choice you really have is to end the relationship in the hope of going into another in which the balance difference isn't as pronounced.

you need to apply the other rule , the law of diminishing returns . No jump on Sunday morning = being single sooner or later as another important principle apples , that a relationship is like a pair of scissors , it needs a good screw to keep it together .

.


So if you are really head over heals in love someone, should you let them know it or not? And if you learn how to play the game of love better, can you tip the balance of power?

ChesneyChrist: The truth in a capitlist era is that peoplve are motivated by aspiration which in turns stems from low self-esteem. It's all about punching well above your weight and, rightly or wrongly, not viewing yourself as good enough as you are. The secret ingredient in this is someone punching you back and so you must be doing well for yourself if this person can afford to treat you so badly. A relationship motivated by the aspiration of low self-esteem serving under the narcissistic entitlement of the boss is increasingly common.


In America treat them mean keep them keen applies more than anywhere else. You must take great care never to over-respect the Americans and you get them to do things they don't want to do simply by challenging them into it. Objectively you can be nothing, but if it's subjectively challenging they will dance to your tune all the same. It's all about making them feel on the backfoot and all the things they then do to prove themselves worthy. It's all self-love; these people entirely motivated by how they feel about themselves as opposed to love for anyone else. You not loving them makes them feel like a failure and feeling like a failure facilitates their tireless efforts to please you. Their love for you as something separate and distinct from their own self-consciousness does not exist.

Women seem to get worse in love. In general men are the servile yes-men where women are more the other way - indifferent and entitled with an unjustified sense of high self-esteem. Women are the boss in social relations but my god does this high self-esteem very easily become low self-esteem when she enters into a relationship. The cocky independent woman strives to be a doormat in less than a week, thats where bad boy comes in.

I don't believe love is a game like that. At least that is not a game I am willing to play.

I either am in love or I am not.

Sometimes the balance is on your side, sometimes it is on theirs.

The important thing is not to take advantage of that balance.

Power over love will never end well.
Ideally there should not be a ruler in a relationship...it just sounds ridiculous.

One obviously knows how to be vulnerable in love better than the other.
When i have to start thinking about having the wool pulled over my eyes or vice versa pullimg the wool over their eyes it ceases to be a relationship to me....and is just two people foolimg themselves that ehat they have is worth having.

Its actually a sad thing to witness in another couple also seeing one do all the graft and the other reaping the benefits.
