been reading a lot on the dating world and 'the game' recently, when this article popped up. found it interesting but would like more opinions from those with more experience than myself.

so, opinions if anyone cares to say?

"But if they wait until their 30s they're competing with women who are much younger and in various ways more attractive"

Old doesn't mean unattractive. Best lay I've ever had was a married late 20's early 30's woman.

"Data from American colleges show 20 per cent of males - the most attractive ones - get 80 per cent of the sex"
I am the 99 percent?


'They've swallowed the L'Oreal line: 'Because you're worth it!' There's a real sense of entitlement."

Isn't that honestly why most people are single? Yeah sure I could go out and get a date if I wanted to but I refuse to lower my standards just because there's nothing here that I want right now.


I stopped reading about halfway through. It just seemed like something I should be reading out of a cosmo but less shitty. I guess we can overgeneralize everyone because we have an internet blog.


Honestly, the game is all about being attractive and having a personality (sometimes not so much). Also, it helps to live in a city where there actually is game to hunt.
This of course, coming from an internet nerd who hasn't had a real date since high school.

I don't find myself stalked by roving packs of husband-hunting women like the article starts with. That's okay, because apparently they were just looking at his credentials, and they totally didn't do any research on social networks or personal blogs -- which might have told them their target's relationship status. Noob down.

If you got game, more power to you, but it goes both ways; in your efforts to get a line of chicks into your bedroom, you'll also be attractive to alpha females, who are in the mood to reel a man in and take him off the market for good in as few dates as possible. Not my scene. I'm just going to have my hobbies and treat girls nicely, because to a 'beta', reputation matters. Women talk to each other, and the guys who hit it and quit it have to keep searching for new first dates cause they can't get second dates.

i agree that its crazy generalized, but as a whole she isnt really making an argument, but rather an explanation with some things in that can be disputed because of several over-generalizations

i mean, lets get serious. a good chunk of females are looking for their prince charming or 6 foot tall guy that will come in, shower her in gifts and love and take her away to a mansion like every disney movie out there. that simply isnt the case, and the author goes on to say that these same females grow into their 30s and they're now searching for someone to settle down with, but the same males they turned away are now the ones who can brush them off instead of the other away around. and then they lament "where have all the good ones gone" when the simple fact is their standards were so high for a suitable partner and otherwise they were just looking to have fun with the next good looking guy they see in a bar or for someone different and interesting than everyone else to turn their heads that night. that or focus on other things like education and simply say 'my time will eventually come'

by this point its totally easy for 'betas' to point out that this is karma and they deserve it, but in reality its all just part of the game being played between the two sexes. to that fact is what i find interesting. at a time when they are losing value in the dating-market they are exclusively demanding men they are hitting their peak. that part of it and society in general of communication between the two sexes intrigues me. thats why i didnt come here seeking validity to the article (well it might have looked that way) but in all honesty i wanted to stimulate this type of discussion

[zaneyard]

oh I was just picking it apart a little. Thing is while it certainly is true, it is not absolute. And while there may be "someone out there for everyone" I understand a lot of it comes down to timing and location. I just really don't plan on giving a shit about it until I've accomplished the things I want to do with my life, until then if short term or hookups come my way, so be it. Don't really go out and look for it a whole lot though.

I can't really claim to be able to relate to someone who feels they "need to get married" because one: I'm 22, and two, I don't feel any "need" to get married. People act like it's the worst thing in the world to be single but I don't look at it quite like that. Maybe one day I'll look at it in a different way but for now the past ~relationships~ I've been in have shown me a lot about myself and what I want.

You totally missed my point and zaneyard's too:
Most people aren't like that.

Unreasonable expectations everywhere on both sides, though it only applies to people who aren't ok with being single or rather, not marrying.

''They are with an '8' but they want a '10'. But then suddenly they're 40 and can only get a '5'!''

That's the only bit that struck me, Ive always said you'll never meet a 10, nor are you anyone else's 10, but you'll meet a lot of 7s, 8s, and maybe a few 9s in your life. Don't pass them up.

It's all tripe.

The real issue behind dating the perceptions held by the author of the article: The concept of being spirituality, emotionally, and financially incomplete until we find a mate. That self-defeating concept is what keeps people apart. Why do we spend decades telling our children to not judge books by their covers only to make the opposite the premise for finding a mate? We go to great lengths to generally impress people only to find we can't specifically connect with individuals. Doesn't that strike anyone as counter-intuitive?

At least here in Hamilton, in my age bracket (I'm 32) I see women across the entire spectrum. Some are nesters, some are loners, some still date like their in 20's. I find the rarest are the ones that are at peace with themselves, those are the one's I find are worth the time, because they've seen through the delusion of dating.

This guy uses an accuracy-based emulator with a Lua script injector to corrupt old games and display the results. It's pretty awesome even though there's no technical fortitude on the front end. Here's a class snippet.

It will be sad if he get's whacked. Poor guy should be getting hazard pay. For the amount of balls he needs to display everyday, he probably makes near minimum wage and lives little better than the people he is trying to manage.
