Case Study – The Great Catch

Here’s a new Case Study from a Rational Reader who wished to remain anonymous (because he lives in my home state among other reasons),…

So I recently started dating this woman I met online. For the last 2 months I would say we were “dating”

Some facts:
-She’s successful and she knows it. 25, bilingual, owns her own place, masters degree in engineering. You get the picture. A great catch.
-We have very similar backgrounds when it comes to family, values, etc. Both hispanic, raised overseas, strong family, etc.
-She’s cute although not hot. Looks, HB6, however I’m far more interested in her intellect and overall qualities than solely looks. I can actually admire her achievements and intellect.
-She’s conservative when approaching relationships. Takes it slow, claims she’s a virgin and she’s waiting for the right man. From any ol’ chick, I’d say bullshit. In this case though, her life is so well together and coherent throughout, that I’ll actually “buy it”
-Talked about past relationships and what happened, she claims it’s not easy to find guys that respect not going intimate. She also claims she’s picky and tends to put up a wall when meeting people.

SO- two breaks in between when she went home (out of state) from a school break. Since I met her, she’s been away probably 3 weeks combined. Else, we have hung out at least once a week. During those breaks, very little communication, maybe a call here or there, some texting.

When we are together, it’s good. Great chemistry, etc. Last time (Saturday) I picked her up from the airport, we went to her place, instead of going out we cooked dinner, went to starbucks, etc. Good stuff, great time. I respect her intimacy “rules” so I don’t even push on that front. Frankly, I’ve gotten laid enough. lol

ANYWAY. here’s the bottom line. Communication in between dates is very very limited and this is where I’m concerned. I don’t know if in past relationships I’ve gotten used to too much communication (calling every day or texting, etc) or if in this particular case communication is lagging.

For example this week: Saturday airport pick up, did stuff at her place. Sunday silence. Monday she called me after work. Tuesday silence. Wednesday I called her in the morning to “kick off” the day, left voicemail but never heard back. Text her inviting her for an after work drink but she had a thank you dinner to attend. C&F wishing her a wonderful date, got a two liner back, the rest of the afternoon and evening silence.

SO the big question becomes: Is this a test? Low Interest Level? Am I expecting too much communication too early? Did I get used to too much communication too early in the past?

How often do YOU communicate with your successful prospect? How often do you find that you communicate with your adult ‘mature” women?

Oh and to top it off, her aunt and grandmother are arriving tomorrow, so the weekend is basically off limits. In other words if no hang out today, I probably won’t see her until next week.

If you haven’t already, you’re about to be LJBFed. Would you like to know why? Because every word you’ve used to describe this woman, every reason you’ve given for qualifying her as “unique” and every indication you’ve presented about yourself points to you approaching any future relationship from a submissive frame.

Predictably, the first response most guys will want to pile on about is to tell you she’s messed up or break down her problems for avoiding you, but honestly, the answer is starring back at you in the bathroom mirror. You’re ‘dating’ a woman who was raised as a man.

First, why are you meeting women online? You’re 25, meeting women face to face, approaching them, interacting in person should be your first course of action. I’m sure you’ll just come back with the “It’s just easier / I’m too busy” line of horse shit, but at 25 your scenario here about “meeting” her online is nothing but a Buffer for you. Also, what do you think constitutes dating? You’re certainly not banging this girl, so how many ‘dates’ have you had?

-She’s successful and she knows it. 25, bilingual, owns her own place, masters degree in engineering. You get the picture. A great catch.

If I heard a woman say, “wow, he’s got his own place and a masters degree in engineering, what a great catch” I’d think they were gold diggers to some degree, but it wouldn’t be unexpected. Any guy using the term “great catch” about a woman in the same context reeks of Beta. Women use this term to describe men, Betas use it to describe women who they think would make a good husband for them – and no, that wasn’t a typo. That you’d use the term as you did here only screams “I’m a chump who buys into buys into feminized equalitarianism in an effort to seem more attractive acceptable to them.”

-She’s cute although not hot. Looks, HB6, however I’m far more interested in her intellect and overall qualities than solely looks. I can actually admire her achievements and intellect.

Chumps love to rationalize their “choice” of women and their less than ideal looks by emphasizing that “it’s what’s on the inside that’s really attractive.” Admiring achievements and intellect are criteria for women’s attraction to men. Parroting this feminized talking point back sounds like you’re taking some high road, but the degree on her wall doesn’t make her look any better naked. This is a very common AFC identification rationalization. Here’s a secret: even brainy women will only want to fuck when they feel sexy, and she’s fully aware that your hammering away about how her mind turns you on wont make an HB6 an HB10. You’re not fucking her mind.

-She’s conservative when approaching relationships. Takes it slow, claims she’s a virgin and she’s waiting for the right man. From any ol’ chick, I’d say bullshit. In this case though, her life is so well together and coherent throughout, that I’ll actually “buy it”

-Talked about past relationships and what happened, she claims it’s not easy to find guys that respect not going intimate. She also claims she’s picky and tends to put up a wall when meeting people.

So lets break this down; she’s 25, masters degree in engineering, owns her own home, etc. Now, maybe an engineer can qualify this for me, but if I’m not mistaken a Master’s degree in engineering is at minimum a 6-8 year life investment, meaning she’d have to have began on it at 18. How many “relationships” do you really think this virgin has had in those 6-8 years while earning a masters degree in a very intense field like engineering? How many valuable learning experiences do you think she’s had with “relationships”? An HB6 girl with a master’s and a house at 25, yeah, she’s a virgin, but not because she’s so conservative, well grounded or picky. You’re making her necessity a virtue because you think it’ll lead you into some fantasy relationship with her.

I respect her intimacy “rules” so I don’t even push on that front. Frankly, I’ve gotten laid enough. lol

Exactly the rationale I’ve come to expect from AFCs reasoning why they aren’t getting laid. Genuine desire is non-negotiable. It happens or it doesn’t. Desire is a spontaneous, chemical arousal between people, not a pre-written contract. By placing preconditions on what will or will not qualify for a woman’s intimacy, she essentially rules out any chance for genuine, organic desire. You’ve basically by-passed the arousal stages and moved directly into comfortable familiarity – you’re already living out the role of being a good homemaker for her in your head. Comfort, rapport, familiarity, are all anti-seductive. Sexual tension is uncomfortable; it’s supposed to be in order to prompt desire.

A “friends first” policy is a shit test. This is basically a woman wondering if you understand women well enough to know that what she really wants is the contrary of what she’s saying, and if you’re Alpha enough to act upon that understanding with confidence anyway. You’re not which is why you’re explaining it away. Any 25 y.o. guy saying he’s gotten laid enough is selling himself something.

Well, oneitis is an issue, however i’m also seeing other women. It’s just that this one is a Ferrari and the others are Cadillacs! hehe obviously i’m going to try a bit harder.

So, the brainy, home-owning, HB6 virgin with intimacy issues is a Ferrari to you? Call me crazy, but I DON’T think you’ve gotten laid nearly enough.

Good observation. That affects one-itis a lot. Ironically it’s the same mechanism that makes a hot girl want the one guy who acts disinterested in her. Even though we’re guys we still respond the same way. It’s important to be self-aware enough to know when you’re falling into this trap.

Wow Rollo what an intense breakdown. So spot on.

That guy really is so submissive, talk about putting the girl on a pedestal. he’d have better luck if he was a complete jerk to her rather than being so respectful.

This is such an easy trap guys fall into, the ‘accomodative’ ‘respectful’ attitude omfg it’s so unsexy though.

An even more straightforward view of this is simply: the woman is obviously not enamored by this guy. She’s not feeling the tingle. He’s not triggering any dopamine in her. And there’s no formula, no amount of analytics, for “correcting” such a situation. It’s just not a match and is time to move on.

How many women there were depended on the type of engineering – computer engineering had none, manufacturing had none; aerospace had about one girl for every eight or ten guys, industrial engineering had about one girl per five guys.

Chances on she being a virgin = 15%

But let’s say she is. She is also cold, distant, rigid and non communicative. Why? options are

1) she doesnt like him or

2) she does like him, and that’s the max response you can get from her

It’s simply a fools trap.

A BS and MS in Engineering in a total of 6 years is pretty standard. 5 years is even reasonable if you start college planning on a Masters, and plan your 3rd and 4th year classes to take stuff that will apply to both the BS and MS.

Personally, I doubt in her case that she wasn’t involved much from a lack of time. She created a lack of time to avoid having to deal with people. I see that one all the time.

Props dude. You did good. She’ll probably flake for reasons that are out of your control so don’t let that bother you. The important thing is how you kept your unapologetically sexual frame with her and plowed through the shit-tests. When a girl is attracted she subconsciously tries to throw herself out of state so she doesn’t have sex with every guy who turns her on (she has to weed out the betas). A shit-test is that. So you move in for a kiss and she wants to kiss you but her brain makes her say “we’re in a business… Read more »

I agree that this guy is trying to play by her rules. However, there are some of us (specifically, intelligent introverts) who actually would prefer an intelligent HB6 over an unintelligent HB8, all else being equal. Of course, in this case all else isn’t equal, and he should look elsewhere for intimacy (there are plenty of intelligent women without intimacy issues in that age range).

Not in the slightest. However, I also wouldn’t be fantasizing about the 8 while banging the 6. I suspect that women are like wines or coffees: you only learn to distinguish the good from the exceptional with experience. HB6 is “good” to me, while HB8 is “near-model”. I can tell the difference, but it doesn’t really matter that much to me. Since my threshold for caring about intelligence is higher than my threshold for attractiveness, that ends up being the determining factor most of the time. Of course, since attractiveness correlates positively with intelligence, I can often get the best… Read more »

If those intelligent introverts would go out more they’d learn that 1) those intelligent HB6’s are just as slutty and likely to cheat on you as the ditzy club miniskirt girl dancing on a speaker and 2) there are 9s-10s who are intelligent as fuck so you’re selling yourself short if you don’t look for the whole package.

With a little wisdom and experience, most intelligent introverts will come to the conclusion that an HB7 say, with a +1SD IQ, is better than an HB6 with a +2SD IQ. Not to speak of the HB7.5+ with a +1SD IQ… Not a rarity.

Certainly intelligence correlates positively with attractiveness, and usually there is no tradeoff (the most attractive are often the most intelligent). However, it’s quite frustrating when the girl still looks bewildered after you’ve dumbed down your language for her.

Honestly, if your criteria are “faithful” and “attractive”, then you shouldn’t select for intelligent women. I suspect intelligence actually positively correlates with infidelity.

The West occupies an age where the majority of male competitors have been socially, economically, and chemically castrated. “Quality” males are increasingly hard to come by, even as females self-defeatingly attempt to remedy this by becoming more sexually available to the ever shrinking pool of said males.

Are you telegraphing your frustration, Chuck? If you are, lock it down and replace it with complete indifference. Having a chick around you want to bang but won’t bang you isn’t good for the mind, body, or soul. True. So be desireless. Be excellent. And, especially in this case, be gone. If she’s not working hard to get your attention, no amount of attention from the man can ever bridge that gap. It could only further debase our sex with try-hard serenading and flower-giving. In fact, your efforts to close the distance can do nothing but dry up her panties.… Read more »

Now it’s just a waiting game. When she left that night she made sure she said “So we’ll talk soon?” Sent her a brief text the next day but after that I decided to go no contact and let it play out. It will either happen or it won’t, but aside from making sure that I keep my distance I have no control over it.

Assuming there’s no embellishment here, I’m saying this girl has had far too much on her plate (i.e. a masters in engineering, personal business and home ownership) all before age 25 to have had relationship experience enough to lay claim to the “Rules” she’s filibustering this guy with. All of which points to a very low IL for him.

I’d add two things:

1. Her life priorities so far are not that of a girl looking for a meaningful relationship leading to marriage. Rather, she’s a poster girl for feminism.

2. She was clearly not raised to be a wife, so you can’t treat her like one (or a potential).

1+2 means she’s a casual hookup at best. On top of that, since she has her “rules” plus being a virgin, she’s an absolute waste of time.

Oh dear. Geraldine Depardieu seeks Green Card. Poor guy. Candide:”Dumb chicks with heavy credentials like her ..” aren’t so dim that they don’t eventually twig that the tickets will go a lot further in the land of the free. As well as being harder to assess critically. It may be banal for me to start harping on about the EU’s grotesque ‘youth’ (anyone under about 30, it seems to me) unemployment rates, but what the hey. All that even higher tech. qualifications do is price (and age) you out of the credential-inflated, desperate-former-‘communist’-flooded jobs market. And France in particular is… Read more »

Ahahahhaa that probably made no sense whatsoever.

I got mixed up with another long whinge somewhere else, about some geezer stuck on a fit French bird, he was breathless with barking up her ‘quality’ and ‘sophistication’, but was unaccountably fretting about her, pretending not to worry about her (allegedy, former,) penchant for 3somes, and metric tonnes of shoes or something.

Although in my defence, they did sound like they were written by the same guy, m’lud.

Eurotrash? “What f.u.cker said that?” (/withnail)

Admiring a woman for her accomplishments instead of her ass? Where did this come from? I’ve had my own programming to undo in the past but never in my life have I given more than a cursory nod toward a woman’s achievements or her intelligence. When women have managed to convince men to revise their attraction priorities to suit the feminine agenda it shows how fucked up things really are. Of course nothing will ever change our base arousal instincts but that doesn’t matter because a tiny little change in a man’s thought process is enough to make a man… Read more »

The mistake here is to think that they are dating because he says they are dating. He is not dating her. If he was she would introduce him to her relatives. There are only two reasons she would not introduce him to her relatives; 1) He’s a bad boy they would not approve of, 2) They are not dating.

Aside from a few parts, this is eerily similar to a friend of mine. He is Hispanic, was raised overseas and has been dating a ‘born again virgin’ for the past year. They are slated to get married. He’s a good guy, but obviously has second thought about all of this but fells compelled to marry due to pressure from his family. His gf is maybe a 3 Also as someone who has a masters in engineering, you are looking at 4 years in undergraduate, and 2 years in graduate so about 5-6 years. I was 25 when I was… Read more »

[…] In men, affluence, status, intelligence, improvisation, creativity, ambition, drive, perseverance, humor, positive-conventional masculinity, and many more aspects make this man an attractive choice for a long term relationship with women. These are attributes that contribute to a man’s sexual market value, but they are incomplete without a raw, visceral physical component. Hypergamy serves two masters, Alpha seed and Beta need – and as such it hates the one and loves the other depending on what a woman’s most pressing necessity happens to be at that point in her life. Women have an innate, limbic understanding of what makes a man… Read more »
