Back in the bad old days of the Cold War a string of radar stations was established to give the US early warning of a Soviet nuclear attack. It was called the DEW line, and DEW stood for Distant Early Warning. I imagine it still exists in some form or fashion today, but I don't know what utility it really served—from what I remember it would give about 30 minutes notice, enough to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

Did you know a system like this actually exists for detecting psychopathic women? It does, and this one is actually useful—when it goes off there is action you can take to avoid the equivalent of a nuclear holocaust in your dating life.

As you talk to more and more women, you will begin to notice similarities between them. Many are bright and cheery, others fun and adventurous, some sweet and alluring, and others just plain dangerous.

You obviously, want to avoid the dangerous ones—and they do exist. They can make your life miserable no matter how skilled you are at creating attraction. While I hear many stories from men who got dumped because they did everything wrong and turned into a wuss, I also hear stories from men who did everything right and still had a nightmare of a relationship. Why? Because they weren't looking for Distant Early Warning signs, signs that almost always indicate disaster is on the horizon.

Whenever I go to the gym, I always pay attention to how different women act around others in that environment. The serious ones go there to work out, give a friendly hello, and leave. Some go there for social hour and hang out with their friends. But some go there looking for trouble.

Here's an example, and this applies everywhere, not just in a gym environment. There's a woman in her early 40's who works out at the same time I do. She's in great shape, and has a great body. But she gives off DEW signs like nobody's business.

First off, she's always tan in the winter. Secondly, she always wears cloths that show just a little too much cleavage, a little too much thigh—and they're always new and perfectly color coordinated. Her navel is pierced—recently.

She spends a lot of time not only chatting and flirting with the men in there, but is also very touchy-feely—obviously, and exaggeratedly so. She brings up the subject of sex on her own, trying to create a “come chase me, boys” environment.

She also drives a brand new, white BMW five-series, an obviously expensive car.

All of these things together paint a picture of someone you want to stay away from. Why? Because she's trying to get everyone to “look at me” based on her looks and possessions. This is not a trait of a successful person with high self esteem. It is a trait of someone with a low self image who's looking to compensate, looking for someone to rescue her.

Sure enough today, she brought a guy with her to the gym to “show off” to all the other men she flirts with, and all the women who give her mean looks. She was blatantly huggy and kissy with him, and he looked to be the classic “mimbo.” Now he could be a decent guy, just out for a fling—I have no idea. He seemed disinterested in the whole thing, although he no problem being “shown off.” He's also got a ticking time bomb on his hands (if he himself isn't one) because he's been brought in to get everyone else to look at her and be jealous.

I have seen this behavior with many people (not just women), and it never ends well. I actively avoid people with these DEW signs, and when I detect them I get them out of my life before they have a chance to do any damage. Successful people don't behave in this manner, because they don't care about showing off, nor what people think about them. They care about learning and improving their lives, and showing off is not consistent with those goals.

So, when you first meet a woman, be sure to turn your “radar” on, and look for signs that she's crossing the DEW line. If she does, run like hell, else you'll enter it.
