You perhaps a little less than benj though. But anyway, do you really think you will be happier with your 9+ throphy wife with shit for brains than a 7+ who loves you, is intelligent and loyal? No doubt men are biologically programmed to try and get as many girls, but thats no longer the world we live in. Youre not getting them pregnant so whats the point.
hm, not sure what to think about your previous messages. I think you fail to see the nuance in my oversimplification. The oversimplification is actually needed (one could believe that you fail to see this oversimplification on purpose to get people's approval, but I'm afraid you really fall into it), and I believe we could analyze each parameters of what attracts you about a girl (and vice versa). I'm pretty sure that what most people evaluate as a "special connection", "the click with that person", "soul mates" can actually be explained. There might be rare exceptions to that, and you'll have more chance to get that exception by getting to know many girls, than by being satisfied only with the ones who approach you.
Back to what you admitted would be ideal (and I agree, even tho its vast): a 7+ loyal, intelligent etc and except 2 girls, all the rest came on to you. This means, enough 7+ girls came on to you so that you could chose a girl that fits you best. After that you said that you want to improve, yet don’t feel the need to approach girls, which again means that you don’t have to in order to get the ones you want.
Consider that to attract enough 7+ girls so that they come on to you, you need to be really attractive (8-9). (That’s how it is under your 30s, a 8 girl will have more opportunities with 8+ guys than the opposite. From the few conversation I’ve had with older guys it seems to be more untrue after 30 when the role in seduction change, and even more untrue after 50. Accuse hormones, maturity, careers, idk)
—> Therefore, either you are a model (8+) and indeed 7-8 girls come to you enough so that you don’t need to do much effort, either you are lying and are delusional (since you aren’t stupid and know how to objectively rate a girl). I didn’t mention the fact that your charisma is so big that it acts like a magnet.
Again, I think you just fall into the category of people who are content with what they can get without putting much effort into it. I’m sure you’ll be happier than people who tend to see the grass greener like me, but chances are I’d find your life boring.
About Standards:
I won't even go into why you think your standards are higher than mine either, I already have a hard time explaining you what's obvious to me. I do have relatively high sober standards but I don't mention it because it brings nothing to the discussion. But who cares about me, I'm telling you about what I observed among dozens of people, you should do the same. And the only time you did is when you asked your girl friends what they want in a guy - ever heard about don’t ask a deer how to get hunted? I’ll sound misogynist because of you!
About Physique and standards:
The only guys I met, including my previous roommate, who genuinely didn't care about it, were models. It's usually one extreme or the other, either they have really high have standards, either they only care about personality and hope for a girl that won't be attracted to them because of their face.
Trophy wifes:
To keep the number thing real you need to consider 9 to be a really, really attractive girls who has experienced privilege because of it since she's very young. This factor tend to add more bad than good in a person. I wouldn't want to date one based on the ones I met and got to know, which I can count on one hand, so I don’t have a settled idea about that. You mentioned loyal, that's one of the highest quality I consider, along with humor, as most people. About intelligent, I'm not that concerned about it since I don't really get to meet retarded girls and it's pretty obvious when you meet one. I could go on, but what does that bring to the discussion? nothing. You might still not get that talking like that is like you talking about racism in the usa when you’ve never been there and read some nbc news, it’s sterile. A waste of time.
My point:
I never advocated that you should date a girl because she is a 9+, I'm just trying to have a constructive discussion about attraction and seduction, which is a fascinating therefore complex subject. The physique got isolated by me or someone else, but it could have been another attribute.
The point is, and I think we both agree on that, a girl that is a 6-7 (let's say that what you consider a 6-7 actually is one.. and that you as a sample represent the population which isn't possible, but w/e), you could get the exact same feelings that you have for her, she would potentially be as amazing, as everything, if she was a 8-9. There are so many fishes in the sea, that it's pretty realistic to say that. Would that make you happier? I'd think so but I might as well be wrong, feel bring to argue that’s what I’m looking for. As you mentioned, my experience is limited, and the girl I’ve dated for the longest time was slightly less than 2 years.
*you keep mentioning that dude and the ice cubes, so i’ll talk about him. First of, it was an anecdote, not meant to be benj’s values impersonated.
His short story: not good looking (at all), worked out a lot the past few years, got a job as a promoter, ended up 3rd rank promoter at 24 (would you believe that you get paid $30K per month to throw ice cube on models and going out 6 nights a week?), and spent his time trying to get the most beautiful girls he could. First the ones he brought to clubs (i.e, regular models from Elite etc), ultimately victoria secret ones. If you knew about all the "game" that he uses to get and keep these girls, while not being particularly funny nor attractive, thats unreal. So yea, to get the attention of a girl that is in the vip area with Zack Efron (that fool one night stand raw) or Jay Z, throwing ice cube at her is one of his techniques. Therefore, a bad looking dude can date girls you wouldn't dream about, that's what I tried to say with this guy, and I find it funny. Now the guy randomly stops models in NYC and consistently get laid with 9+. Is he happy? probably the happiest dude I met. Will that last? I don't know, but his experience made him from being a frustrated guy who secretly hoped to screw beautiful girls, to a guy who actually does that and is opening several businesses. He’s one of these guys, who actually go after what they want. It has nothing to do with a «competition ».
Last similar story I read about, the guy screwed so many models he went to Africa for one year and created one of the most successful non for profit as a sign of repentance (charity: water). That’s all I wish for him :)
Anyway, you found it funny because you don't know anything about this world, I don't neither, but at least I've people in it. Ignorance often brings mockery.
barely proofread, hope that make sense
