This is a guest post by my friend Rivelino. He is the one who created the very popular green line theory and has some very interesting and useful takes on dating and women.
One of the best things about being a man is our desire to love and protect women. Our love for women makes us stronger, but it can also make us weaker.
Green line theory is a series of body language rules designed to help men maintain their masculine aura in their relationships with women. When you take a photo with your girlfriend, remember these seven tips.
Rule 1: Don’t lean in
When you take a picture with your girl and you lean into her, you’re making a mistake. You’re not being protective or affectionate, as some guys think.
You’re actually giving off needy vibes, to her and to the people around you, and worst of all, to your own subconscious mind.
When a woman gets into a relationship, the last thing she wants is a weak man who depends on her. She wants a strong, confident man who stands up straight, a man who can face the difficulties of life without having to lean on her for support.
In fact, she wants to lean on him for support. If you lean on her, she can’t lean on you.
The main purpose of the green lines is to help you become more aware of your own body language. Without this awareness, you may not realize what your own body is communicating, but women will notice.
Most women are more sensitive to non-verbal communication than most men. Next time you take a picture with your girl, think of the green lines and don’t lean in!
Rule 2: Don’t lean your head towards her
Leaning in with your body is bad, and leaning in with your head could be worse:
- You look foolish
- Your neck looks weird
- You’re encouraging her to lean away from you
Often, this happens at the subconscious level, which is why body language awareness is so important. Our bodies reveal what we’re trying to hide, what we think we’re hiding, or what we don’t even realize we’re feeling.
When you tilt your head towards her and she reacts by tilting her head away from yours, you’re teaching her to avoid you. You’re disrespecting yourself and allowing her to disrespect you too.
Once her head and body start to lean away, her heart and pussy will soon follow. This is why it’s important for you to stand up straight with your body, head and neck. Stand up straight and you’ll do great!
Rule 3: Face your cock to the world
When you take a picture with your girl, you should point your cock to the camera and to the world. This signals confidence and leadership.
This tells your girlfriend and everybody else that you believe in your cock and your power to penetrate the world. This is called cock confidence.
Unfortunately, men often turn their cocks away from the camera and towards the woman, like Daniel Craig with Lea Seydoux. This is 100% backwards polarity and it’s called cock shame.
Cock shame is bad. A woman will interpret cock shame as her man being distracted from his mission, or even worse, afraid of pursuing his mission.
Don’t disappoint your girl. Face your cock to the world!
Rule 4: Hug her shoulder
When you take a photo with your girl, hug her by the shoulder and pull her into you.
When you hug her shoulder, you’re encouraging her to keep her hands low on your body, which is more gentle and docile on her part, and more protective on your part.
Hugging her waist may feel more intimate and romantic, but the shoulder is more protective.
Hugging her waist could also make you drop your shoulder, which is bad. You may start to lean in or crouch down, and look shorter and weaker.
Another problem with hugging her waist is that this could encourage her to put her hand high up on your shoulder or neck, which is called The Claw.
The Claw is a female domination move often done by predatory alpha females. If you allow your girl to claw your shoulder, she may start to claw your neck.
If you allow her to claw your neck, she may start to claw your face. The psychological damage can be huge, because this is how a mother treats a boy, not how a wife treats her husband.
Just look at what happened to NFL legend Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, and more recently, to UFC champion Ilia Topuria and Giorgina Badell.
Both of these men were repeatedly clawed by their wives in public, and both of those relationships have ended. Sad and tragic.
Rule 5: Don’t hide your hands
When you hide your hands in your pockets, you reveal uneasiness, lack of confidence, lack of readiness. You’re pretending to be cool and relaxed, but in reality you’re uncomfortable in the spotlight. You’re literally protecting yourself from being “seen” any way you can.
Practice keeping your hands relaxed at your side. Center yourself in your body, in your chest, in your gut, in your balls.
When you feel your masculine energy running throughout your body, your hands relaxed at your side will feel like weapons ready to destroy any enemy that comes near you.
Rule 6: Keep her next to you
When you take a photo with your girl, keep her next to you. Love is about many things, but more than anything else, love is about protection.
Your job as the man is to protect her from harm.
When you hug your girl by the shoulder, you ensure that she stays next to you, which is a good place where you can protect her and she can stay out of trouble.
When you let her get behind you, who knows what she will do. She may get you in a choke hold to emasculate you. This is what Gisele is doing to Tom Brady. Embarrassing.
Rule 7: Smile with confidence
You are more handsome when you smile. Women are attracted to men who are full of energy and full of joy.
Smile with confidence. When you smile, feel your life force running through your body. Project your aura with a feeling of love and power.
The more you develop your skills, the more you achieve in life, the more comfortable you will feel in your own skin, and the more love you will radiate out to the world.
Don’t try to look tough in photos.
When you don’t smile, you don’t look tough, you look dull and boring. Don’t try to be James Bond. You’re a real man, which is what she wants. Girls just want to have fun.
Be the man having fun, in love with life, in love with himself.

- Don’t lean in with your body
- Don’t lean in with your head
- Face your cock to the world
