Cat String Theory in Relations and Business

 
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. To help you to be the one there is simple theory working good on the early stages of dating.

For those of you who don't know, the cat-string theory basically describes an interaction between a ball of yarn and a cat. 
When you give a cat a ball of yarn, it plays with it for awhile and has a good time. However, after 15-20 minutes or so, it gets bored and leaves the ball of yarn. It may come back to the yarn later and play with it and it may even do that several times.

In contrast, when you take the ball of yarn in your hand and hold it just out of the reach of the cat, letting the cat get a touch of the yarn every once in awhile, the cat will pursue that ball of yarn for hours. The holder of the yarn has control over the cat for virtually as long as they want. 
The same scenario applies to humans. When you give someone something to keep, they enjoy it for awhile, but grow bored of it after time. When you make yourself available to someone all the time, they appreciate your availability for awhile, but again grow bored or tired of having you around all the time (no matter how cool or fun you think you are). 

On the flip side, when you give someone something for just a moment, or give them a taste of something but not the whole thing, they actually appreciate it more and give more attention to it. This also applies when you rarely make yourself available to someone. They get a small taste of you but not the whole thing. There is a mystery to you and they value the time they have with you even more.

In business and marketing they tell you that one of the best ways to demonstrate value of a product is to make it scarce or exclusive. If you as a person wish to demonstrate value of yourself to others, simply make yourself scarce and exclusive.Imagine, you turn on the television and see a commercial for some new overly-hyped kitchen gadget. The commercial voice reminds you that “…supplies are limited” and that “…this offer will not last.” This commercial is employing the use of the law of scarcity to increase the perceived value of that item. Believe it or not, it works for them.

Applying Cat String Theory to Attraction

When someone makes themselves overly available to a person they are attracted to, especially in the beginning stages of attraction, this over availability can cause the opposite desired reaction to occur. Someone overly available has lower value than someone not in such abundance. The goal here is to create her persuit of you. 

If the woman/man you are trying to attract believes that you are highly desired by others, hence you’re demand outweighs your supply, then your value will go up. Demonstrating value is an important idea. 

Demonstrating Value, Prizing Yourself

Prizing yourself is effective in creating or maintaining her/his chase of you, keeping the string out of the cats paws. Try verbally just slightly pushing the man/woman away:

  “I don’t know if I can be seen with you guys.” 
  "‘I’m way too high maintenance." 
  “You’ve gotta wine and dine me.” 
  “Your going to lose me here in a sec”
  “I never put out on the first date.”
  “Buy me a drink before you hit on me.”
  
Communicate that you are a prize and expected to be treated like one. As a result, the girls/men will start chasing you and fighting for your attention and affection. Of course, nobody would chase you forever and can get tired of it, but he/she may get used to the idea you are special and would praise you in case you decided to dedicate more of your precious time for them. 

Don’t be an easy to get mouse, as cat will soon forget about you. Be hard to reach and you’ll be like inseparable like Tom&Jerry! ;-)

Good luck to you!
