Beauty dominates ugly – Strong dominates weak – smart equals devious.

The Young Soul*brain still works quite in the automatic belief that beautiful women dominate the ugly, and strong men dominate the weak. If you’re neither a strong man nor a beautiful woman, you better be good at plotting evil plans. The way the Young Soul*”losers” win is by playing dirty. The Ravens* are often quite blind to this, especially if they’re smart, beautiful women or smart, strong men. They’ve had no reason to teach themselves to play dirty. Still, they will need to learn to play AND WIN clean against people who play dirty, which is not at all an unpleasant challenge for an overachieving dominant individual, male or female.

So, a Ravens* will have to learn to predict and thaw underhanded attacks and moves from people who are about to lose, and make it into their second nature, so that in their future lifetimes, they won’t be played out by scheming a-holes ready to talk whatever bull to get ahead in life… And married to someone too good for them.

Learn

1. Recognize when someone is guilt-tripping you into giving them (or their kind) an advantage they don’t deserve.
2. Notice when your virtues are used against you without the person accusing you of ever turning the mirror on themselves.
3. Make a habit of noticing when sainthood is required only from you but not your accusing friends.
4. Don’t ignore a gut feeling that your best friend is going behind your back doing underhanded things.
5. Do not force yourself to trust or love others as a sign of your virtue. (You’re halo-polishing anyway, so quit it.)
6. Are not beneath studying harder just so that the dummies don’t get to call you “a try-hard” or “a nerd” or similar.
7. Don’t be afraid to go to the gym even if people would think you’re “a try-hard” or “a stupid jock.” You are allowed to be both fit, smart, and gorgeous.
8. Get a job just for the money. Don’t let people talk you into working for free just because they don’t want to see you succeed monetarily.
9. Whenever people ask you to forgive them or for a favor, ask yourself what’s in it for you, and act accordingly. (Forgive ONLY when you freaking want to.)
10. Make sure you NEVER give up searching for an answer to a question you’re drawn to, no matter how many people insist it cannot be solved.
11. Losers try to convince you to give up, try less, and fold, so you wouldn’t be so difficult to compete against. Don’t let that happen. Activate beast mode.
