When a decent woman shows me interest its hard to accept. When some slut or gold digger shows me attention, at least I know exactly what she wants and I manipulate the situation to get what I want without giving her what she wants (unless all she wants is sex, I got no money to give em!)
Once upon a time I was a complete AFC...not even before I was divorced I met this woman who was a 9 in looks, spoke three languages, owned her own
(successful) business, very trustworthy and was from boocoo bucks. We met, she was crazy over me, and I thought I was set for life. Long story short....I felt intimidated, felt I didn't deserve her, AFCd her to death, put her on a pedestal, and four months later got kicked to the curb. A year later she was married to some shmo with half a dozen kids, made less money than me, and was nowhere near as good looking or classy as myself.
Man I learned from that one.
Fast forward a few years - on an extended assignment I bump into a HB10, another business owner. Once I get to know her I realize she was more attractive, smarter, and from an even wealthier family, and just off a 20-year+ marriage. Jackpot. Again, at first I was intimidated, but this time I was able to shake it off by constantly repeating to myself,
"I AM A MAN. I HAVE PAID MY DUES. I DESERVE THIS!".
I ended up having a great relationship with an incredibile woman. We're now separated by a long distance, but she still emails me all the time and tells me how great I was, how she has not been able to find someone to replace me, and how she wishes we were together, etc.
Sh^t, when you got something good, act like you deserve it. Because you do. And act like you've been there before.
