guru1000 said:Good point. But remember, as entitled as some of these women may appear, it's still a marketplace. A sexual marketplace. The law of supply and demand dictates that although a HB6 may secure an guy 8; it would be only for sex purposes. The guy 8's actual value exceeds hers; so regardless of her perceived worth; she will eventually have to settle for a guy 6, as that is all she could attract for an LTR.
I think many of us men inflate our own value and thus assume that the woman's perceived value is inflated, when all along it was our own, lol.
Perfect example of this dynamic was 18 months ago when I was 225 lbs, 25% bodyfat, I was struggling with HB7s and thought they were "entitled" princesses. Today, at 190, 10% bf, HB9s chase and game me, and I don't see any entitlement issues whatsoever. The only thing that changed was me; not the game. Entirely different dynamic.
Guru,guru1000 said:Our mindset does not increase our SMV; our looks/status/wealth (LSW) do for the most part. Game, the mindset, only augments and maintains attraction that is already present; it cannot create attraction. Attraction is not a conscious choice.
And of the LSW, the best among the three to attract is looks. Hugh Hefner's harem are not attracted to Hefner. They are attracted to their own possibility of becoming famous. Once they become famous; they're gone.
Social proof is good, but confidence only goes so far. Confidence only works well and gets you women when they are already attracted to you.Obsidian said:If all that women cared about were a man's beauty, muscles, and dollars, then there would be no such thing as social proof. Of course women are attracted to confidence. They don't think like men.
Women like confidence, but they want a good looking man who is confident. The fact that women wouldn't know real confidence if it bit them in the @ss also confuses things. I think what impresses women is bold action. They get that jaw dropped, "wow, that took guts!" look.Obsidian said:If all that women cared about were a man's beauty, muscles, and dollars, then there would be no such thing as social proof.

If a woman is dating a drug dealer ex-convict, can you really say that they have their shyt together? Just because a woman is attractive, that doesn't make her smart.Tenacity said:And the women I meet, I wouldn't say they are HB 9s or 10s, but they damn sure aren't unattractive. I might pull a HB 8 here or there, on average I get about HB 6 or HB 7, which is solid right? And these women are dating THE GUYS I described above and the women are usually somewhat "decent" in terms of having their shyt together. Not all of them, but a good chunk of them.
That makes it sound like, although you've been here since 2007, you haven't hit real success until just recently, when you developed your male model physique. Or do I read that wrong?guru1000 said:Perfect example of this dynamic was 18 months ago when I was 225 lbs, 25% bodyfat, I was struggling with HB7s and thought they were "entitled" princesses.

Hmm, I didn't realize you had been married. Well, you learn something every day. And I'm sure there are a lot of hot women in New York.guru1000 said:Zekko, I've been in good shape since my early 20s. In my 30s, when I was married, I got fat and stopped working out.
Yep but he does look like a guy who has all the qualities, LMS.zekko said:He claims he will go into a club and get approached, because of his attitude and his body language. I could be wrong, but he doesn't look like a male model or bodybuilder type to me.
Lol, but man listen I have to show you some of these social media profiles that chicks send me. No homo, but there's no way in hell these dudes are sexual beasts or just "look so good their other qualities are overlooked".guru1000 said:Obsidian, social proof is encompassed within the lower echelon of status.
Tenacity, an unemployed, criminal, broke, out of shape, drug addict can still pull still 7s if he is a 7, unless he had other compensating SMV factors. When I was 32, I lost my wealth, business, and professional licenses, and in debt over half-mil. So to the affluent community or most communities for that matter, I was considered a "loser." I wasn't born exceptionally good-looking, model material. My personality was a little bland. I had no game. But , I had an exceptional physique at the time and was still pulling 8s and 9s from affluent families. Doesn't contradict the LSW notion.
It's a sexual marketplace. Like other market places, to compete you have to provide sexual value to some end.
I agree, but maybe it's the women I'm dating, I date mostly black women and this is almost like THE NORM with black women even those in the Middle Class.zekko said:If a woman is dating a drug dealer ex-convict, can you really say that they have their shyt together?

What do you consider a HB9 btw? Is it looks only or the total package? If we are going strictly on looks, I would say an Ashanti, or Beyonce, or Lauren London is a HB9 and up. HB 6 - HB 8 might be an Ericka Hubbard or Nia Long (Nia Long back when she was hot) or Jada Pickett (back when she was hot). I know those are all black women but I'm just saying lol.
I don't know about you, but if I don't approach a chick, then nothing is going to pop off. The only way I would have legions of chicks approaching ME was if I was a celebrity of some sort, even a small local one. Other than that, I have to approach chicks.skinnyguy said:Two schools of thought when it comes to hot women:
1) Act really aggressive, use game
2) Act aloof as if you have a lot of options and don't give a fvck about Her
I don't know which is right, but I do know that pursuing women constantly makes one feel like an AFC. A true DJ doesn't need to approach much; for example I doubt NBA players talk to random girls at clubs they usually have a table and the hot girls come to them.
The thing is acting aloof will lead to fewer opportunities so I understand the need to be aggressive.
Were does Megan Goode fit into your rating system? What about Serena Williams? What about "sweetness" on a female? You know itll make your **** harder than a ball breaking b1tch.Tenacity said:Lol, but man listen I have to show you some of these social media profiles that chicks send me.

Channel your excited feelings into positive thoughts and behaviors. You will attract women by being enthusiastic, radiating energy, and becoming someone who is fun to be around.

Well, you have to be aggressive with hot chicks. Lots of guys do. Especially when the myth of hot girls don't get approached often was proven false years ago.skinnyguy said:Two schools of thought when it comes to hot women:

It appears that he dresses well, or like a businessman at least, so that might suggest money and status. He looks like he may be tall, and I'll take his word for it that he has good body language. But I don't see how his looks are anything more than average. I'm no great judge of male attractiveness, but he looks pretty average to me.Suspens said:Yep but he does look like a guy who has all the qualities, LMS.
Maybe he stuffs a cucumber in his pants.guru1000 said:Zekko, could be social status. He may go out socially with a cavalry of brown-nosing students and cameras.
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.
