Oddbean new post about login | logout Makes me wonder how people got to thinking that the bar is high in the first place. Also, the "aloof prick" strategy doesn't attract the best women
women always give the signal, usually, simply paying attention to you, and making excuses to be around you oh, all sorts of excuses, you'll hear every kind if you have ever had a lady warm up to you there's no craft or trick to it, they sniff you out and they are magnetised it's almost never about symbols or signals, it's usually unconscious and pheromones drugs of all kinds mess it up though, be it alcohol making them more overconfident or hormones making them unable to smell properly, or even them having practise and knowing to stay aloof because they had drugs
It's cuz they're all hitting on the same small subset of women, and those women are justifiably annoyed by it.
I have female friends and relatives in that category and you can just watch men line up to get knocked down, trying more and more complex psychological tricks and frantically strategizing. Every other woman within a 5-mile radius https://c.tenor.com/_vWOrDe7bJYAAAAC/tenor.gif
