Chapter 229: Hierarchy of Needs
I have to say that Jing Rulong's methods are already quite powerful.
It is that people will love vanity, whether it is a man or a woman, to a greater or lesser extent, they will love vanity. People who don't love vanity at all don't exist on this earth, and even monks who are bound by the rules and precepts have the ambition to become a "great monk."
And the vast majority of women can't resist vanity.
If you can resist, it means that this vanity is not vain enough.
This is actually in line with Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Maslow believed that there are five levels of human needs.
The first level is physiological needs.
People live in the world, they can't do without food, clothing, shelter and transportation, people want to eat and drink, this is a hard need of people, even saints are not exempt from vulgarity. All of us are working to meet these physiological needs, and it seems that most of humanity has met the first level of physiological needs, with the exception of a few people in the war-torn and barren countries of Africa.
The second level is security requirements.
When human beings are able to eat and drink enough and meet the basic food and clothing, they will yearn for a safe and stable environment. The ancients summed it up as "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person", and that's what they said. A safe environment that can ensure that one's person and property are not threatened is what everyone needs after satisfying food and clothing.
The people of most normal and peaceful countries are able to meet their security needs. Especially in China, the economy is developing rapidly, the whole country is in an upward period, the government is vigorously maintaining stability, and security is very guaranteed. Even if you go out at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, you will rarely encounter any accidents.
The third level is emotional needs.
When we are in an absolutely safe environment and have no worries about food and clothing, human beings will begin to crave warm family affection, sweet love, and sincere friendship. The human desire to connect emotionally with other humans is instinctive, and most humans share this need, with the exception of a few antisocial personalities.
The fourth level is respect for needs.
That is, after a person has material satisfaction, security satisfaction, and emotional satisfaction, he will desire to be respected, in a very colloquial phrase, "to become a decent person".
In the psychological aspect, you can have the cornerstone of self-confidence, and in the external society, you need to have a high social status, be trusted and respected. So far, only about 1% of humanity has met the need for respect.
Most people are small people, although they have no worries about food and clothing, security, and family, friends, and partners, but it is very difficult to be respected everywhere. Most people talk lightly, saying 10,000 words is not as good as a big fart, and they will not be taken seriously wherever they go, so they naturally cannot realize their need for respect.
And the fifth, the last need, is the realization of self-worth.
At this stage, a person is basically satisfied materially, has great security in terms of security, is emotionally satisfied, and is respected and has a high social status.
At this time, there is the ultimate demand [people are inherently dead or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feather, or heavier than Mount Tai], how to make their lives meaningful, heavier than Mount Tai, this is the new demand.
Some people will write books and pass them on to future generations; some people will make meritorious contributions and become famous through the ages; some people will study science for the benefit of mankind; and some people will participate in the administration and discussion of state affairs to transform the country and society. People at this level of need pursue the realization of their hobbies, ideals, and ambitions.
However, people at this level have been rare in society, and throughout human history, there are not many people who have realized their self-worth.
The way to pick up girls can also apply the hierarchy of needs theory.
Because the relationship between men and women is also a mutual need. If you can meet the needs of the other person, the other person will naturally have a good impression of you, and you will have the possibility of becoming a partner.
In the past, when the times were troubled, a girl was hungry and hungry, and she was displaced, and if you gave her a bite to eat, she would follow you. This is to meet the most basic physiological needs of the other person. However, these days, it is really rare for young girls to be unable to eat, so if they want to meet each other's physiological needs, they want to soak in each other, but it is just a fool's dream.
However, at this stage, most pickled girls are actually to meet the second need of girls, that is, safety needs. Security is not that you are safe if you have a peaceful environment, you don't have a house, you don't have a stable job, you don't have a fixed asset, you are wandering around, and it is difficult to feel safe.
The reason why blind dates require men to have a house, a car, and a stable job is because girls need a sense of security. If you can give a girl a sense of security, most ordinary girls will not escape your clutches.
Moreover, for Liu Yan, she has a good background and is not insecure at all, and her boyfriends are carefully selected from top young talents. To meet Liu Yan's security needs, people's security needs have long been self-sufficient!
So the best way to impress Liu Yan is to meet Liu Yan's emotional needs.
But it's hard, it's hard, it's hard!!
Say important things three times, for Jing Rulong, it is really super difficult to meet Liu Yan's emotional needs.
Jing Rulong can also detect that Liu Yan doesn't have much affection for him at all, and the possibility of sparking love with Jing Rulong is very small, and it can even be said that there is no friction between Jing Rulong's feelings and Liu Yan's feelings, and it will never be possible to spark love.
At this time, Jing Rulong considered Liu Yan's fourth need - the need for respect!
Is Liu Yan respected?
Everyone knows that Liu Yan is the daughter of the mayor of Yanjing City, and she is polite to Liu Yan, but this respect is for Liu Yan's father, not for Liu Yan.
Liu Yan herself still has nothing to do, she is a fledgling, and it is difficult to be respected.
Therefore, Liu Yan's need for respect has not been met.
And Jing Rulong is to impress Liu Yan by satisfying Liu Yan's need for respect!
So Jing Rulong prepared such a play!
He didn't wash the cost and donated tens of millions of things, just to let Liu Yan shine in the limelight on Bazaar Night and meet some of the respect needs. And Liu Yan, who has met the need for respect, will definitely have a good impression of Jing Rulong, and between the two, there may be an increase in the friction needed for the spark of love.
99% of the women in the world can't resist Jing Rulong's trick.
Jing Rulong's trick, doing what he likes, wearing the cloak of charity, is essentially a kind of vanity. If most women want to be treated like this by Jing Rulong, I am afraid that they will have a spring in their hearts and will not be able to help themselves.
However, it is a pity that Liu Yan belongs to the 1% of the means to resist Jing Rulong.
Liu Yan was only slightly excited, but there were not too many waves in her emotions.
