You are correct: dinner and a movie and then let's show each other our "wee wees"

 

I rather fancy the wee wee portion of the night though.

It's "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" all over again. :laugh:

When I was little I couldn't understand for the life of me why theirs was cut off. But at 25, I'm glad it is :)

I would prefer my dates not show me their "wee wee" and hope they don't even have one. If they do, then my "pee pee picker" or rather "pee pee precluder" has become out of tune. :lmao:

 

Will be happy to see their cooch, twat, vaj, mouse, cat, trap, flower, bean, though... just not their "wee wee."

 

Sorry, just being semantically silly.

Alright I'm curious about this situation and wondering if it happens to anyone else.

 

My dating life is very feast or famine.

 

A few months ago, I had a handful of new dating options. I was feeling good, in the zone, and overall enjoying where I was. Those options have been whittled down to about nothing. I've had drama at some level or another with all the options I had.

 

This is not the first time this has happened. I go through a hot streak, then a cold one, then a hot one before I know it.

 

My approach has not changed. Nothing I do changes, but for some reason I lose girls and find new ones.

 

I would much rather prefer a stable dating life where it was consistent. These streaks are unpredictable and deflating when I'm in a cold one as I am now.

 

Does anyone else score in bunches? Any insight as to why this might be?

 

Consistency is definitely possible. It comes with action.

 

If I'm going out twice a week consistently, I have a very active dating life. If not, then it becomes sporadic.

 

If you're constantly approaching and constantly meeting new women, your dating life will be consistent.

I'm convinced that not everyone has the same levels of good luck. Life is not a level playing field.

I think the difference between our viewpoints is that I don't believe in luck.

Not even bad luck? So people who die in natural disasters brought that on themselves? What about people who are born with birth defects? They just didn't try hard enough in the womb?

Christ, man.

 

Stop being so melodramatic.

I design video games for a living and one of the things we worry about and I'm very well versed in is random chance and modelling statistical distributions. Your dating cycles are entirely the norm for 10-20 romantic interests per year. With that small sample size you'll never have 2,2,3,2,2,1,2,2 per month. It will be 3,0,1,2,4,0,1,1 etc... You're probably skewing the standard distribution further by going through emotional peaks and valleys that directly affect your attractiveness to women.

 

Your experience is totally normal and unless you double your volume, get used to it. Handling the droughts a little better will prevent them from happening quite so often. I've gone through the same exact cycles in the last 18 months. The way I've handled the droughts is by keeping a FWB the entire time. I have 7 women in play right now, but have been FZ'd by the only one I really want. Otherwise this is an extreme peak right now and the past 17 months look like a valley in comparison.

 

I love it how you speak statistics. Can I please be the 8th woman in play :love::laugh:

It applies to everything, including dating.

From my observations, the difference between those that are successful in dating and those that aren't are their attitudes.

 

NOTE: This comes from a lifetime of consistently dating, traveling all over the world, and meeting many different types of people.

So if everybody struggling here would just change their attitude then they would be GUARANTEED 100% success in dating?

I think luck plays a bigger role in dating than some people think.

Okay. I'm intrigued now.

 

Please elaborate on this statement.

Here's one example:

 

A few years ago, I needed to take a science class to complete my science credits for college. I picked biology. Partly because it's easy, partly because it's a requirement for nursing majors, and nursing majors are like 90% female. I thought my class would reflect that. Nope. 20 students. 16 males. The 4 girls that were actually females were not attractive.

 

Conversely, my friend had to take a computer class, which is usually largely male. He had about an even ratio of men and women, with 8 attractive women, most of whom were single. I believe he hooked up with one of them too.

 

Now of course we had other classes, and push comes to shove, I could walk around campus and find chicks to talk to, but he was placed in a much more advantageous position to be successful. Even though his class is usually more male dominated and mine is supposed to be more female dominated.

 

It's not because he was better with women that this happened to him. It was pure chance, pure luck.

Okay. Fair enough. That's more of a logistical issue.

 

What I thought Green Light was referring to was one person being born with better looks or into money or something like that.

 

If not, then we've been arguing different sides of different topics. :p

Yeah. I just mean sometimes the ball rolls in your favor and sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's any secret that the semester in which I have had the most success are the ones where there are more single females in my classes.

Oh wow! YES!!

For a few weeks/couple of months i'll have three or four options. Then they'll slowly dwindle away to one becuase of a lack of interest on either side. Then it goes wrong with that last one that I am genuinely the most interested in. Then nothing. Then a whole bunch. Then three or four again. Over and over.

 

I think it is because when I have a few options, subconsiously I'm not really giving out the signals for more, like, i've got enough to juggle.

Then when when it doesn't work out with that last one, i'm licking my wounds a bit, feel discouraged/disillusioned with dating and am not fair game. Then when I feel better, the flirtiness and attractors are back at full capacity to begin all over again.

Do you think you can influence probability though?

Trust me - she's telling the truth. I talk to a very beautiful girl who is having a similar problem with streaks and dry-spells.
