This is going to be a very controversial topic because everyone has a different goal when dating women. However, I think posting it in the Mature Man forum would elicit some more thought out responses.
When I was younger, making sub 50k a year. I did not disqualify any woman if she was reasonably attractive. Bartenders, school teachers, 'factory' workers, and was quite successful. I developed the mindset to turn and burn a lot of women. It didn't help me personally or professionally and I was unhappy, borderline depressed. I changed how I looked at relationships (coming out of dark times) and entered an LTR with the sweetest girl I met through a volunteering event. Then shortly after into another LTR with someone who is now my ex, but still seeing her. She doesn't think twice about seeing me. Not to be arrogant, but she sees me as high value.
I just went on a 25 minute date today after talking on the phone with her for 3 hours. 10 minutes in, I 'disqualified' her because she really had no plan in life. Nothing of value for me, but just a cute face and body. I didn't even order a drink. On the drive back, I was thinking...it's really just a numbers game, to match personalities. However, at the same time, it got me thinking that there's a lot of weeds to sift through to find a good one. I'm fine with that, it gives me an opportunity to meet women and experience new personalities. At the end of the day, they are abundant.
@Atom Smasher mentioned many times that men should take a year in disqualifying women [on purpose.] I'm curious how many of you have taken this approach and how it calibrates your game long term.
