A Look At David Deangelo's Relationship Beliefs
David Deangelo has a very strict set of beliefs when it comes to human relationships. In his view, human relationship patterns are no different to the mating habits of other species. All of our human interactions can be interpreted in respect of our own sexual reproductive desires.
The idea of having one partner for life does not necessarily match our primal instincts to procreate and there are very few species on earth that are strictly monogamous. He believes that society has conditioned us to the idea of not having too many casual partners and has ingrained in us habits that will lead to failure. He says that pick-up lines cause us to lose before we even begin. Rather than using techniques that seem more natural, males partake in techniques that do not lead to the desired results.
Deangelo beliefs are based on evolutionary theory and scientific understanding of humans’ sexual desires, basic instinct, necessity, and aims. He says that his dating methods can help men achieve their desired aims, whether that is to engage in casual sex or to form a lasting and loving relationship with someone.
One of his main beliefs is that being intellectual does not automatically mean you will be successful with women. Other techniques can be used other than intelligence and success with the opposite sex is a talent that can be acquired. The basic sexual instinct is inherent in all human beings and channelling that and ignoring societal norms of what you are ‘supposed’ to do to attract the opposite sex is the only major hurdle.
Deangelo also concedes that because of our genetic differences, men lack a true understanding of women and are therefore forced to be less selective with their partners. He also argues that women are not as obsessed with the looks of their potential partners as men are. Classic courting techniques such as flattering women or showering them with gifts and kind gestures makes men appear weak rather than sexually appealing. Women are interested in strong men and being too nice does not help men to achieve this appearance. He says it is essential for men to come across as “cocky and funny” to attract females’ respect and interest. This can be seen to link to our evolutionary instincts to wanting someone to protect and provide and where physical strength and ability were seen as key desirable attributes.
