It sounds like you have very strong frame, which is helpful for both her attraction to you and her respect for you.

Not all alpha-tactics work every time for every man. As Heartiste points out (and I stumbled across this truth myself before I'd ever heard of him) congruence is key, and women can smell incongruence from miles away. That's why I rarely used negging, and deliberately eschewed peacocking.

I'll say this, though: dread game WORKS.

Lucky for me, my wife is a decent woman, and I haven't had to do much beyond soft dread. I don't know if I have the heart to do some of the upper-level dread those guys talk about (I despise adultery).
