Back to Models by Mark Manson: Implementation Guide

Receptive, Neutral, Unreceptive from Models

Models offers a framework for reading her interest: Receptive (interested), Neutral (unclear), Unreceptive (not interested). The goal isn't to convert unreceptive to receptive. It's to polarize, to be clear enough that receptive women respond and unreceptive women filter out. This guide explains the framework and decision flowchart.

  • Receptive = proceed; Neutral = polarize; Unreceptive = stop
  • Pursuing unreceptive women is a neediness trap
  • Polarization clarifies where you stand

The Three Categories

Receptive: she's engaged, asks questions, initiates. Proceed. Neutral: she's polite but unclear. Polarize, make a clear ask. Her response clarifies. Unreceptive: she's not interested. Stop. Don't pursue. Don't hope to change her mind.

What to Do Next

If receptive: make a clear ask. If neutral: polarize to clarify. If unreceptive: move on. Wasting time on unreceptive women is neediness, you need her to change her mind. Let go. ConfidenceConnect's AI scenarios include receptive/neutral/unreceptive practice.
