Re:
@Malice: I do very much respect your point of view but I guess what I'm trying to say is this:
-I guess it all depends on the individual and what he or she wants at a given time in their life. I'm very experienced in the dating game and on the subject of gaming women and I could still game as many women as I wish with quite enough success if I wished. I'm not denying that gaming continues no matter how old we get but the fact is, when most men and women get to a certain age, there comes a point where they desire to settle down and start a family. At that point if it ever happens that two mates who hook up have that same vision, worrying too much about playing and following every single rule of the dating game becomes quite old and tiring because both have "been there and done that."
-When most people get older and reach that point where they hope to someday start a family with someone, they are less inclined to make dating more complicated than it needs to be, and more open to giving a chance for longterm, marriage-leaning relationships, to a mate who seems to meet their physical and moral criteria. For instance, my point of view on relationships has greatly evolved considering my age. I know what I want out of my life and I don't approach dating with the same naive excitement as would a man in his early to mid twenties whose main purpose could just be to sleep around with as many women as possible. I've reached a stage in my life where I no longer feel the pressure nor the need to go out of my way or try too hard to impress women. I have several years of sufficient experience at the ground level which comes off naturally, and I've met all types and all sorts of personalities.
Sure, it's fun to be able to bang hot women every now and then when such opportunities may arise but as you get older and wiser and develop goals and a vision for your life, you start to seek out relationships with more depth that could actually lead to a future. Right now what matters most to me is to be with a woman with whom I would share a mutual attraction and who has a personality that could suit me for a longterm relationship. At some point there's got to be much more depth and essence to a man's life than the mere desire to keep chasing after and sleeping around with multiple women from left to right. Such a lifestyle has its limits and often leads people to the point where they either hit their heads hard on a brick wall and get a wake up call or they choose to consciously lead themselves down paths of self-destruction.
