		<description><![CDATA[From the age of 18-35 I never had to work to get a piece of ass, I simply waited until the next hottie that was interested in me came along and it was all the time.  It was everywhere and anywhere I went. At those ages its a combo of looks, youth, lifestyle (no committments, wife, serious career), could stay out late and party multiple nights a week and also you have the social circle of same age/interests. At the same time I knew lots of guys who had same opps I did but rarely got laid. Its definitely a combo of looks and other (personality, money, network), but if you&#039;re young and good looking you can just stand there and women will come to you. After 35 its gotten progressively harder. Less energy, worse hangovers, more responsibility at work, less organic network of friends available to wing with you or throw parties that bring in party girls and waning looks.

 I think a handfull of guys continue to milk the honeys into their 40s, but it requires a lot more of the other as your looks fade. Your brain also starts to overtake your dick in making decisions. Is it really worth 4 more drinks, driving drunk/possible DUI because your tail light is out at 2am,, staying up til 4am, risking std or pregnancy for a piece of ass that you don&#039;t even want to acknowledge once you&#039;ve shot your load? When you&#039;re 25 the answer is YES, when you are 45 the answer becomes NO. I&#039;m 48, look 38, but unless its offered up on a silver platter, I don&#039;t walk out of my way or jump through any hoops for ass. Its actually a bit of a relief to be released from the incessant drive to chase pussy. 

Anyhow, the only other comment i have is that someone said that somehow the changing dynamic of relationships was somehow going to save guys time. Anyone who has been to a non-westernized country where you can satisfy your sexual appetite quickly and easily through non-femminzed women or legal and controlled prostitution, knows that that is the only way you&#039;re going to free yourself of spending 75% of your time chasing and casing or catering to a piece of ass if your sex drive is in overdrive like it is for most men under 45. 

Go somewhere in the world where you can get a fantastic hour long massage and blowjob from a smiling 20 something for 40 bucks and then talk to me about how much time and resources you&#039;re saving with the new dynamics. Imagine spending 95% of your day doing what you really fucking want to do, surfing, gambling, building cars, working out whatever and then when You are ready, you get a massage and rocks off with minimal effort or cost. That&#039;s the only environment that&#039;s going to free your asses from chasing modern women around and having to take their shit seriously. And that&#039;s why its not coming anytime soon, because our masters want you spending your youth chasing around the modern whores with hat in hand or watching football on TV all weekend long, they don&#039;t want you to have 95% of your time doing shit that might actually be important, or god forbid, thinking about something other than your dear old dick. You might start to get some big ideas. 

The only caveat is that if somehow you manage to find that needle in the haystack, that girl that gets it, is craaaaazy about you, totally loyal and worth the effort (after many/many/many shit tests by you of course), there is nothing more satisfying in the entire world than becoming a father. Its just become such a huge risk and investment now that men don&#039;t control anything, that its too big of a risk for most men to take now in the west.

If I was in my 20&#039;s I would expat the fuck out of any western nation immediately, no questions asked, never look back. I&#039;d go Eastern Europe and pray that Putin and other ex-commies keeps the western pussy rioters and their democracy disease where it belongs, in the rotting &quot;nations&quot; of the west. Id learn the local language, do whatever it took to become part of the community (teach english, volunteer etc), find a beautiful unspoiled local girl, have a HUGE family and inoculate them against the poisoned ideologies of the modern western empire.]]></description>

My age/experience (old enought to know better) is a factor, yes, but I have always been a distance/long haul person.  I have never CONSCIOUSLY attempted a STR. 

What I was trying to explain is how my perception of someone&#039;s appearance can change over time.  Maybe its just that I don&#039;t notice someone is attractive until a certain point?

		<description><![CDATA[@GK, Try not to take this the wrong way, but women of your age reprioritize their criteria for long-term attraction as per their capacity to attract men permits. However the physical arousal cues you had at 12 y.o. are still the same ones you&#039;ll have at 42 y.o.

You see, when you mention the word &quot;attraction&quot; to women, they almost universally amortize that term to mean &quot;what they&#039;d want in an LTR prospect for commitment.&quot; Since women have a subliminal need to make everything apply to themselves (solipsism), without a conscious thought the assumption is what would be attractive to them for a protracted relationship.

The criteria of what they&#039;d want in a short-term relationship will be much more visceral, much more physical. But women rarely, if ever, give much thought to what they&#039;d look for in a short term sexual relationship because the physical arousal cues that make them wet aren&#039;t something that even needs to be discussed. And certainly not if they hope to turn that STR into an LTR.

That STR arousal (not &#039;attraction&#039;) is primarily physical, but with Game being an intergal element. 

&lt;blockquote&gt; So, the guy who makes me laugh, etc. is going to end up more good-looking to *me* no matter what an objective onlooker might see.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If this were the case the Louie Andersons and Danny Devitos of the world should be swimming in top-shelf poon. I have no doubt that very rich, and very funny, but out of shape men have a relatively easy time attracting women, but they can’t make a woman genuinely desire to fuck him on a physical level. It’s just the very commercial version of negotiating desire.]]></description>
