HoneyBadgerDontCare Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Do you think you can influence probability though? Absolutely.
ThaWholigan Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Do you think you can influence probability though? Well, that comes down to probability too ironically . There are times when it's likely you can, and times when it's likely you can't. The key to managing this is being able to tell when you can and can't influence probability.
ThaWholigan Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Hey Archie Luck = defying probability. Well, I just call that chance .
HoneyBadgerDontCare Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Well, I just call that chance . "I am a great believer in luck. I find that the harder I work, the luckier I am."
Author MrCastle Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 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. I think men have a hard time believing it since we are the aggressors and women accept or reject the suitors. Just because a woman is physically attractive doesn't mean every man who approaches her is a stud muffin. Sometimes (a lot of the time) it's men she's not attracted to. 1
Eternal Sunshine Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 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. Yep, it's exactly the same for me. Somehow, as I went through life, I was placed in the least advantageous positions to meet men. Sure I have issues blah blah but just being placed in the wrong place at the wrong time is...almost funny now. I work in a male dominated field. Somehow, my department actually consists of 70% females. Among them, there is about 7 in my age group that are single and decently attractive. Out of 30% of men, NONE are single. And not only dating either. They are either married or living with someone. I attend a lot of social functions for work. Good way to meet men you would think. NOT! In 2012, I have not met ONE single men during those functions. Every men I spoke to was engaged/married/partnered. Let alone finding a man that I connect to and actually likes me back? Forget it! I go to random parties too. Also, all couples and single women! I mean it's ridiculous. My friends even joke that the universe must be conspiring for me to remain single. 2

Right now, I'm a young military officer in a place that's located basically in the middle of nowhere. ALL of the single attractive women around me are enlisted (meaning I could go to jail if I date them). The nearest place to go out is an hour away. Yet, I'm dating a pretty awesome girl right now. No excuses. Play like a champ.
Archgirl Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 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. Uh-huh! Thanks Who It's totally true. It's raining men then it's a man drought. I can break the drought with serious conscious effort but now I just roll with it. I'm pretty certain it's all to do with where my head is at and what I need at the time
ThaWholigan Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I think men have a hard time believing it since we are the aggressors and women accept or reject the suitors. Just because a woman is physically attractive doesn't mean every man who approaches her is a stud muffin. Sometimes (a lot of the time) it's men she's not attracted to. Sometimes they don't even get approached. True story. Last girl I dated said she was so impressed that I had the balls to talk to her that she wanted to date me on the spot. Till of course she found out I was a starving artist who lives with his mum . Still, I was close to getting in there but she found a better deal. Good luck to her . Contrast with the beautiful blasian girl (black+asian I'm guessing) I saw on the train who I didn't approach because I was embarrassed about the new gaping hole in the crotch of my brand new jeans. She eyeballed me for the entire journey. She was so upset that when we got off I said nothing that she stomped away in a huff. I felt like such a dick, I had to laugh my way home . Sometimes, they don't get approached.... 2

Sometimes I feel that way as well. My college is fairly small, and it is definitely not a big state school or party school. It's a private college, so it's a bit more expensive, and thus, less people can afford to go. It is not unusual for my classroom to have 13 people at the max. Most of my classes have students in the teens, one has 29, and then I have another that has 9 students. 9. When you narrow those students down to 1.) women 2.) who are single 3.) who are attracted to me, we're really wearing thin at that point. I think dating is a numbers game just by volume alone. Meaning if my ratio is 50%, as in, I have 10 available females to ask out, and 5 say yes, my success rate wouldn't change in a larger school, but my volume would. I would have 24 girls to ask out, and then have 12 say yes. It's still 50% success, but more women.

Or it takes them forever.
mesmerized Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I think men have a hard time believing it since we are the aggressors and women accept or reject the suitors. Just because a woman is physically attractive doesn't mean every man who approaches her is a stud muffin. Sometimes (a lot of the time) it's men she's not attracted to. Pretty much. A lot of girls I know here find boyfriends by being the aggressive ones. I'm not a big fan of doing that but I might have to learn to do so. 1
Archgirl Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Don't BS us to make us feel better, ArchGirl. We all know you're beating the guys off with a stick....with that cute face and sexy accent. Wanna snuggle? :bunny: 1
iKING Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Can you really say this with a straight face on a thread I am on? She has a point Castle. 1

mesmerized Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 You're single? I thought you had a man. lol I have no idea why you thought that.
Author MrCastle Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 lol I have no idea why you thought that. I don't know. I hear mixed things about you on this site. Some people say you're hot in real life. Others say you're a fat cat lady. I don't know what to believe anymore.

I'm not a big fan of doing that but I might have to learn to do so. I don't think you need to be aggressive. Although it is waaay more fun to be an equal partner in the game rather than just sitting around like a sack of potatoes waiting for some man to notice you and chase you down - bleh! Just find your firting style. It's just mine that has that bulldozer in your face quality. That's just me. Find your just you gorgeous
Author MrCastle Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Don't believe much of anything you hear on the internet. It's much safer that way. Well the way I see it is, when she disagrees with me, she is a 430 lb proud owner of 17 cats. When she agrees with me/likes my posts, she is Kim Kardashian. That's how I've always looked at it. 2
