[quote1229459309=UncleHOwie]BR- I base that general statement on the fact that imo men are not as picky as women when it comes to selecting a mate. Face it, most men are pretty happy if they have a cute girl who gives it up from time to time and isn't a nagging bitch.
Women on the other hand are pickier & seem to have additional expectations/requirements blah blah blah. They've got a detailed laundry list of what they really want in a man. So the one with the higher expectations tends to be the one who does the choosing "ultimately".
Look at how decisions get made when it comes to wedding ceremonies. Men don't care, women are the pickier and tend to do all the "choosing"!
After all, we do all this trick pua stuff to try and impress that special girl so she will "choose" us. How often to you see it the other way around?
In the end "pussy" is a powerful thing. We've all been there, you know what I'm talking about! :-) And since the woman has the "pussy" she can ultimately control the selection process.[/quote1229459309]
True, most men are happy with settling for the first hot thing that comes along. But, not the guys in the PUA movement. And, not the guys WORTH having.
As far as lists are concerned, I don't put any credence in the them whatsoever. I can't tell you how many women I've dated that said they never would have thought they would date someone like me. I simply didn't fit in the laundry list of their wants and desires. People say they know what they want, but they really have no idea. The reason has to do with how we process information. We have two 'levels' of thinking. Higher functions and lower functions. Higher function would be our analytical brain. Lower function would be our more animalistic brain. Studies have shown that the two don't really agree on what is and is not attractive. You think you want something, but when it's presented to you you don't necessarily want it any longer.
Case in point is a study I once read (I've mentioned this before and I still can't find the damn study). A speed dating session was set up and attendees were recruited. Before the session, everyone had to fill out the things they 'thought' they wanted in a man or woman. The researchers then planted in a man and a woman that were considered to be uber attractive (they generally possessed universally attractive traits and were rated the most attractive by the researchers based on several physical and personality traits). Then the event was held. After the event, the attendees were once again asked to fill out what they wanted in a man or woman, and a list of the three people they were attracted to in order of preference. Obviously, the plants landed on virtually everyone's list and even more curious, everyone's list of preferred traits changed. For the people that chose the plants, their description of what traits they found attractive changed to a almost near match description of the personality and physical traits possessed by the plants. In other words, it appears that our analytical minds don't really know what we're attracted to until our lower minds 'see' them.
People don't know what they want.
Now, I do think women are pickier than men because the stakes are much, much higher. A man can fuck anyone and not have any long-term repercussions from doing so, save for STDs. A woman on the other hand might get pregnant, which would change their life forever. Further, she wants to try to get the best traits from him as possible. Although, I would contend that a man wants the same...read The Selfish Gene and you'll get a better understanding that men want the best genes from a woman just as women want the best genes from a man. So, women need to be a little more selective because there's literally another life a stake.
I joined the PUA movement, initially, to get more pussy. To be more impressive. But, I stayed because I realized that by doing this I became the one that was selective. I can't tell you how many women I've NOT pursued as a PUA that I definitely would have pursued as an AFC. I'm here to be choosey. I turned the tables. This should be an overwhelming goal for all PUAs.
And, pussy isn't that powerful. It's everywhere. It's just up to you to go get it. It holds no power over me and doesn't impact my decisions in the least. However, I have no doubt that it is addictive to an AFC.
