The idea that performing strong boundaries will instantly attract high-value women falls apart under the research: studies find that blanket unavailability actively repels, that wanting everyone is a turn-off, and that self-respect works only when it is real rather than a tactic

Blanket unavailability does not attractThe idea that being hard to get makes you desirable is old enough to have been tested directly. Performed unavailability toward the person you are trying to attract does not read as high status. Generalized enthusiasm did not flatter its target; it devalued it, because interest that is extended to everyone signals nothing about the specific person receiving it.
