A woman has revealed her 'dark psychology' trick to 'get a man' - but people are refusing to try it.
Taking to TikTok, Anna Kristina Schmidt explained she has a fool-proof way of making men obsessed with her, but it's a bit of a controversial technique.
Some agreed with the TikToker, while others refused to take the advice, feeling that it was rather toxic.

But Anna believes it works a charm.
Despite it being a bit of an eyebrow raiser, it's a pretty simple trick.
"The best way to get a man is to be rude, and mean," she revealed.

"If someone is mean to you, it triggers your insecurities and it makes you feel rejected.
"Naturally what your brain is trying to do is to be validated, accepted and get rid of the rejection.
"... The opposite of acceptance is rejection. If we are rejected by someone, what we crave is acceptance."
Anna explained that rejection triggers confusion and will 'spark insecurities' in your potential partner.

Which sounds a bit dodgy tbf.
"The more confusing it is, the more they keep thinking about it," she continued.
"The brain cannot logically make sense of, 'why am I being rejected?'
"The more the person keeps thinking about this rejection and wanting to be accepted, the more the person will be thinking of you, the more the person will be crushing on you.
"His insecurities will be triggered and he will be wanting to pursue you and chase."

Anna claims that this is often the natural dynamic at the beginning of a relationship, but when women 'forget their worth and who they are', the dynamics go to pot and women are screwed over, essentially.
"You forget to set boundaries, you always initiate everything, you're always available," she said.
"What happens is, that push and pull, you're pushing and he's pulling away because he loses interest. There's no more space for him to pursue you."
Anna emphasised that she's not trying to encourage others to be ruthless, but reminds women not to 'give [their] energy away so freely'.

People were pretty divided on the technique, with some agreeing with Anna while others were less so.
"I refuse to get a partner this way. The right partner would meet me in my softness," said one.
While another added: "This is good advice to get a man temporarily but not a good basis for a long-term life partnership."
Meanwhile others despaired over the need for 'games'.
"bs games, a girl just did it to me one time, and I just walked away," while another added, "A strong man won't tolerate rudeness, only a weak man will tolerate that behavior!"
