The Monologues of the Master

Thursday night I went on an online date with an uncharacteristic approach: Being withdrawn and non-physical and focus on the talking. The reason for this approach was not a stroke but the fact that I had a second date with another girl booked in on the Friday night.So after starting off at the Coogee bay hotel, which by the way is a horrible place for first date, (a sterile sports bar which at the time was broadcasting replays of Rugby games) We decided to make the move to the lasertag place, since she apparently liked paintball. To my dismay there was no-one playing lasertag there so we just had a drink instead.

 

But yeah, all in all it was a pretty good time. She had some interesting things to say and she looked pretty good as well. If gender roles were reversed she would be very attractive; as she had good looks and was really successful in her career.

 

From my perspective a woman's love prospects can actually be hampered by being really successful as a lot of women seems to want a man that is at least as successful as themselves. And this attitude causes trouble. Because let's face it: Since a woman attractiveness does not increases with a pay raise,   from $50000 p.a. to $100,000 p.a for instance. but a man's does she is simply hunting over her league if she wants a man who makes as much as she does.

 

Let's put this to an example. Amy and Pete both make $50,000 per annum and are both scored 70 units of attractiveness on 100 unit scale. They are thus a good match since no-one would have to settle below their standard. Let's assume that Amy's attractivness is divided into two parts personality and looks and they both attribute to 35 points each of her attractiveness. Pete's 70 units on the other hand is divided in three parts looks personality and money/success where each contribute to 23,3 units of attractiveness.

 

Let's first assume that Amy get a pay rise and now makes $100,000 per annum, this will not change her attractiveness at all as money/success is not a factor on the female attractiveness scale (It could of course be argued that if a woman is extremely poor; starving and losing teeth due to malnutritition this could impact her attractivness so money/success must have some limited importance on the female attractiveness as well) Since she and Pete is still objectively as attractive they will still be a good match. But if Amy has the flaw, that many successful women seems to have, that she is only attracted to men that make the same or money than she does well then she would not be attracted to Pete if they were to meet. 

 

Let's now assume that Pete gets a raise and now makes $100,000 per year as well. This will increase his success/money component from let's say 23.3 to 28.3. Thus his total attractiveness will be 75 out of 100. Amy surely will be interested at this stage, but Pete will not be very interested in her as he objectively can do better.

 

Of course the example above is highly constructed and far from everyday life as humans don't know their exact attractiveness. Furthermore beauty is in the eye of the beholder so finding an objective attractiveness is far from easy. But the point of my example is simply to illustrate that a woman would not score a hotter man from a pay raise but a man would score a hotter woman from a pay rise. Women who believe they can score very attractive men just because they are making much money are seriously deceiving themselves.

 

Now, that things did not take off at all between me and the Thursday date should not be attributed to her at all. Being that withdrawn and passive as I was, well it's not very masculine at all. Or to refer to life in general, Who makes the initiative to the first kiss, first sex and so on. It must the man in at least 90 per cent of the cases. 

 

Oh well, on the Friday night it was time for second date with girl from the failed interview.. Needless to say I was a lot more active and physical during this encounter.:) After drinking the best and most expensive hot chocolate I have ever had I suggested that we should get a room so we could get to know each other better. The offer was declined instead we played pool where I won three out of games on default (she put the black ball in the hole too early) She actually won the fourth game by putting the black ball in the hole at the appropriate time. This proves that the best way to win a pool match if you are really lousy is just to avoid hitting the black ball at all cost and hope the opponent wins the game for you. 

 

Anyway. around midnight she realized that she indeed wanted to get to know me be better. Problem was that she was sharing a room and so am I.So that's one of the circumstances you appreciate the existence of public toilets. (Most commonly you appreciate this when you are using the toilet for the purpose it's built.) So in a way awesome to get to know her better, but the external circumstances took half the fun out of it. So if anyone reading this has access to a decent room with a double bed and is an attractive woman don't hesitate to let me know..:)

 

Needless to say I did not do my greatest work during the circumstances, but what puzzled me the most was that she told me afterwards she had a boyfriend for four years once and he never made her come. I have heard this story a few times before but I just can't get how anyone can be that lousy in bed? I mean seriously if one is that bad at using one's penis one can always compensate by using the tongue at the sweet spot and two fingers? It's not exactly nuclear science. Furthermore I can't understand how anyone can live through that hell for four years? I mean if I had to finish myself off every time I had sex with a girlfriend. I would definitely call it a quits long before that! I mean a few weeks or a month for calibration could be okay, but if someone can't learn in a very long time, then are simply not trying hard enough!

 

From hearing her sad life story I gave her a promise. That if she gave me a night in a private room with no distractions and some alcohol; I would make her come..:) If not I would hire a huge black man with a huge penis to do the job. Since she claimed she did not like huge black men, she better make it or fake it! ;)
