The hor pool is good but what do you mean by "dating"???
Wyldfire is a Disinfo agent - do not listen to her - the worst perspective on Sosuave - damn near everything she states is wrong for the man!!!!!!!!
I can't believe the numbers of people I would have considered "intelligent" arguing with her.
If you don't have the wherewithal to click the "ignore" button, you certainly can't afford to complain about her, much less quarrel with her.

So if you want to attract a top 3 percenter, ask yourself - am I a top 3 percenter? What is my value as a man?
While on this forum we like to advocate maintaining the prize mentality, and working behavioral psychology to our favor, I think the concept of becoming a man of value is well under-discussed here.
Don't mistake this post as acquiescence to feminized ideals. It's more a reality check. There are so many threads here, especially on the Mature board, that lament a lack of outstanding women, when the reality is that there are just as few men who are highly valuable as there are women.
You know, I could agree with this. However, the concept of "value" and "comparing" value just seems... off. Am I a 7 or an 8? Is she a 4 or a 9? :crazy:
The whole idea of "rating" yourself... what are you going to use as the standard? What are you measuring yourself against? Who is better, and who is worse?
What I'm driving at is this: "value" implies external validation. That is, gauging yourself against everyone else is just an exercise to give yourself bad self-esteem or a complex.
You only see what others show. You may perceive people as "9's", but they may actually be "4's" and good looks is the ONLY thing going for them.
And the whole "establishing your value" deal shows that you aren't HAPPY WITH YOURSELF. Comparing yourself to others in order to feel "OK"? Ridiculous.

So, "becoming a man of value" is often misconstrued. Yeah, make money. Sure, lift weights. Fine, travel. The most valuable a man can be is when he is happy with himself. Confidence = happy with yourself/content with yourself = value. So, don't look outside yourself for value. Instead, consider what YOU perceive as "valuable", and work to meet YOUR goals - not the goals of the rest of society: what would make you the happiest?
I'm not diagreeing with becoming a man of value. More, I'm saying one should strive to be happy. Happiness itself is far more valuable than anything society could ever think of you. In the grand scheme of life, happiness is the greatest prize, isn't it?
