But do listen to those of us who have suggested focussing on your own interests and you should meet someone you have at least something to yalk about with...

You'd be surprised AG, some women like nerdy, not all women do though but it's also true of men.

I knew a guy who was a genius (Quantum Physics was his field), had a sweet and (pretty GF) whose head was so large when they went out the guy had to wear a Fez..his cranium was just that large!

I've never allowed it to be a point of interest.

Yes, I get hit on constantly, even today, even with a child booster seat in the car, even walking down the street with my sons. By women half my age. Heck, I get hit on riding the train to work, just because I'm suited up. By women much older. lol There was a grandma dripping with diamonds the other day in Chicago trying to get my attention in a restaurant. lol

And it's not because I look good. I don't. And its certainly not because I'm walking around like a douche bag poser. A man just needs to hang out a fancy watch these days and he will get some quickly should he not have morals.

That's how bad it is in NYC, not to disparage NYC. LA/OC/DC/PB isn't so different. Again, for all the wrong reasons. But the unfortunately reality is that there are more than enough undesirables from both genders who focus on all the wrong things.

Thank you. But growing up, I was subjected to nonsense as well. There was a girl 5'2" who said that she only wanted to date 6'2" and over. Aquaguy at 6'4" would have been perfect, even though he would have crushed her 98 lb. frame lol

And then there was the Asian women thing: I only date White men. Well, touche. I only date Black, Latin and White women. lol

My brother in law.. as in my wife's brother.. married a Chinese woman from my nation of origin. You see. White man and Asian woman = cool and chic and fashionable. Those go to the head of the line. Both cultures embrace that combo.

Someone should post her chart in AStro 2 or beginners. She is no dumb blonde( so to speak)

true I would say that his wife is very logical too. Beauty does not last forever but men tend to stay attractive or even get more attractive as they age.
If she married a really good looking rich guy she would always be insecure about her place.
Plus YTA is a good husband that spoils her.

Average men tend to be more loyal. While charming playboys attracted women easily so the temptation is always there.
Also AG. You're good marriage material, some girl thats looking to settle down will probably choose you over the playboy.

I will be totally real here. You know I love you LOTS. You need to hook up with a guy who can feel woman out like Randall, for example. That guy can help explain woman to you, as you are not feeling the female vibe. What we SAY means squat. We lie LOL

Tsk tsk YTA, for the same reason why people buy massively expensive vehicles is the same reason why people want lots of women (or perhaps men) at their beck and call..

Ego/Vanity/Pride etc

Padre35,

I like my vehicles for my own quiet enjoyment, and I truly enjoy the performance of my vehicles. My cars aren't for vanity or ego, nor are they designed to pick up the companionship for the evening, even though some may pay heed to the vehicle.

I actually prefer others to just leave me the F alone and mind their F-ing business. I don't need 500+ hp to go anywhere, but I like it even though its not some hybrid, so buzz off already!!

Anyway, I like my vehicles because I am actually a hobbyist, and I work extremely hard so I reward myself with such vehicles, old and new. The same goes for any number of other items. Like carbon wheels for my bikes. Anyway. Just making a point.

Unlike any number of douche bags in NYC with Ferraris and Lamborghinis picking up ever willing women who can't wait to jump in for a ride back to the guy's crib. I was in a borrowed Bentley once and this woman had the nerve to make an indecent proposal right from the sidewalk!! I said that I'm married. Her reply was "So?" She said "You're hot." I said: "You're right. I need the AC on!" And I drove away.

Then again though YTA, is the performance needed?

IIRC one did post a pic of one riding around with the top down in a convertible..

BMW it looked to be, for me I have no problem with it, does not bespeak of plebian self image however, and why should it be, actually the truly wealthy wind up being given vehicles just to sort of to make the high dollar market.

"Buffet is driving a X, so I should as well"

A pure luxury car..like a Bentley..is like a rolling coffin for some it is what is expected to drive.

Had to edit the ramble.

No Padre. I don't own a BMW. Car brand isn't the issue here.

Anyway, the performance is just pleasure and hobby interest. No, it is not needed. But it is nevertheless desired. To my wife and I, an automobile isn't transportation. It's a passion. I do own a number of convertibles new and classic. So what? It's for quiet enjoyment.

If one drives a V12 twin turbo with 670 hp, and can pay for the gasoline, is that anyone else's issue or concern?

posted April 16, 2013 11:39 PM            

Just keep in mind the convertible/hobby thing is not everyone's experience.

Granted, a sort of different way would be to own a Jeep with a soft top, it does not have the performance of your passion, however the utility is there.

Put it this way, what would one expect AG to know about Bentley's and older women seeing a target of opportunity?

As for Aquaguy, my message is one of charisma. His version is that an average guy wouldn't have luck with attracting women these days. I had no issues being myself when young, and I still have no issues now. Of course, the common explanation is that now that I have career success, they come flocking. But I had zero issues as a college kid wearing jeans and sweatshirts. I got dates every weekend if I wanted, and I didn't have much yet to flash.

But I'm going to get down to brass tacks and not engage in BS. There's too much feel good soft talk in this forum. The reality is that there's a line of girls - admittedly mostly the wrong type - delighted to jump into a 911 and then jump your bones. Vs climbing into the average econobox. Whether you like it or not, toys work. Money talks and BS walks. But until money comes, charm and charisma work. Doesn't hurt to be clean cut and dress well either.

My magic was in the kitchen. I cooked for my dates. I knit a scarf for one girl and she went bonkers. I did laundry for my girlfriends. I helped them with homework. I summarized chapters. I created study notes. I fixed bikes. I bought them make up. I bought them toiletries. I sometimes don't get guys - happy to boff a hirl but refuse to buy them sanitary napkins when they have their periods? well, i memorized all my girlfriends' choice of underwear and bought them those too. I cleaned apartments. Walked their dogs. Anything. Showing your appreciation works. My girlfriends had fresh flowers every week. I gave them massages. I gave them manicures and pedicures. I even gave them haircuts. Being a "nice guy" is more than being respectful and well mannered. And as much as one can be a nice guy in casual clothes at the local pizza joint (which I was so infamous for that I proposed marriage in a sleazy $4 Chinese takeout), they sometimes like to see their nice guys dressed well and take them somewhere really nice.

AG is a touch younger then us YTA, and I do agree that top down..women do like that...unless it is cold.

Charisma is a pov of vision and "I want it now!"

Charm is a different thing, and more attainable.

As Tim Ferriss mentions Pareto's law, the 80/20 rule, from my pov have goals and know what the heck one is doing, however that does not mean a large stack is the be all end all.
