He’s Out of Your League

  • Posted on December 24, 2008 at 9:01 pm

Why he’s really not that into you.

It’s truth time, girls. Later, I’ll get into the specifics on types of men, and what they really want but don’t always seem to be able to articulate.
For now, though, I’ll focus on a “beta male” concern, and that is social status.

East of the Atlantic, social status is determined by a few different factors that have their roots in older cultures and lifestyles. Income is one, and level of education is another, but more important than these are things like one’s family name, ethnicity, and connections. In some parts of eastern Europe for instance, it doesn’t matter how much money a Gypsy has, they are still marked as inferior or lower class, the same way a wealthy Black person would have been perceived in the U.S. pre-1965 or so.

In some parts of the middle east, a Jew, no matter how wealthy, would be regarded with hatred and suspicion by others. In fact, being wealthier and more civil may make them an even more attractive target for discrimination or violent attacks.

In the U.S. however, though there is a racial/ethnic component to status, for men it is generally determined by wealth, and for women by beauty, or what is most promoted as beauty by the mass media. A media-beautiful woman from a dirt poor family may find herself the wife of a wealthy man, so long as she doesn’t reduce her perceived value or have it reduced in other ways. Though the beauty of the lower economic classes is often exploited (as rich girls are seldom successfully recruited into prostitution or porn), it can buy one opportunities. By the same, a rich man’s money will buy him time with beautiful women, regardless of how hideous, unintelligent, and rude he may be.

One of the objectives of feminism was to shake up this seemingly unfair situation, and put women on equal footing with men. However, one thing that no social movement can do, partly for the reason that it is a social movement, is change what a human being is. Humans are mostly very tribal at best, and extremely herd like at worst. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Though there is much admiration for individualism these days, the truth is that the individualist lifestyle is very lonely. If you go against the grain, you will become an outsider, and you will not have the opportunities afforded to people who conform.

Why Me?

Answers to the question every woman asks when a man hurts her in a relationship. 
“Why did he pick my heart to break?”  Taking personal responsibility
for your half of a bad relationship.

The simple answer is because your heart was open to be broken. 
If you didn’t care about him then you wouldn’t care that he doesn’t love
you or has a kind of twisted affection and just wants you there as an emotional
punching bag.

The first thing you should do is go to BreakupSurvivor.com
and take the survey and follow the instructions.  While you are still
away from him, you need to know why you should stay away from him.

While you’re at it, stop by Relationships
at Blog-city
.  Dave there has an extensive collection of articles
and information on relationships, but the parts you should focus on are
the discussions on what a jerk is, and why some women seem to be inexplicably
drawn to them.

Too Good for Your Own Good

  • Posted on at 7:36 pm

What guys say they want isn’t always what they really want.  I know
none of you is suprised to read this.  What does throw you off though,
is when you KNOW you did a man right, and even brough him munchies and
a beer after, and cooked breakfast in the morning, a week or more passes
and he still hasn’t called you back.

The “rules” of dating are different now than they used to be. 
Most of us who are sane and fully sexual don’t feel the need to starve
a man of sex, or starve ourselves for that matter.  We’ve figured
out that it’s not depriving a man that allows you to get to know him.
You
really don’t know what you’ve got until after the sex. 
That’s
when he’ll either get his ego sticker and go, or start playing whatever
games he was hiding from you before.  If you’re lucky, he’ll want
to continue the relationship in a healthy way, and having the first sex
over with will free both of you to take the next step of exploring each
others’ sexuality as you explore the rest of the personality as well.

However, if you’re a woman with the kind of pelvic floor muscles that
can lift a full bottle of vodka off the floor, and can suck like you’ve
got hydraulic jaws, you may have a problem, even if the men you select
are very nice.  You might be too good for your own good.

I know what you’re thinking.  “Anything worth doing is worth doing
right.”  That is a positive way of thinking, but one must remember
that for most men, sex is like pizza.  Even when it’s not that
great, it’s okay, and even when it’s excellent, it’s still pizza.

So your first priority when taking on a new partner (aside of safer
sex using a condom of course) is to make sure you get yours.

You know what turns you on, and what to do even if he doesn’t. 
If it looks like he’s not going in the right directions, then take matters
into your own hands, literally.  Do what you need to do, and then
let him do what he needs to do.  That way you can’t say that you didn’t
get something out of it.  You sacrificed nothing.  You don’t
need a next time in order to have a happy memory.

If he does what you need him to do, then all the better.  Just
don’t
get confused by the rush of oxytocin (the hormone that causes bonding)
to your brain afterwards.
  On the first time you might even want
to get out of bed in a hurry, go to the bathroom, take a shower, or pet
your dog or cats, just in case.  That way you can keep your head straight
in case he’s a loser (someone who’s going to play games) or just a bitch
(someone who only has sex to offer).

The point is to enjoy yourself and have a good time, but don’t be
so concerned about his pleasure that you forget your own
.  Some
of us are a bit egoist when it comes to sex, and we like to make a guy
make alot of pathetic noises.  It’s part of our pleasure to please
the man.  However, one must remember that sex isn’t happenning in
a social vacuum.  There are some problems with being too good.

You can get labelled as a whore.

Even though many things have changed, many things stay the same.
A
woman who is too good at sex may be perceived as oversexed. 
Because
you’re attractive and exciting, you may be pursued with a vengeance, but
then when it’s over, if you’ve been classed as a whore, you’re just another
conquest.  He’ll think about you while he’s masturbating or if the
next woman isn’t so good at it, but he won’t come back to you with the
respect you deserve.  He’ll call maybe once a week or once a month
because he no longer wants to get to know you as a person. 
You are just a fancy hole.

You can get labelled as a wife.

If he doesn’t think of you as a whore, then he might think of you as
a potential wife.  Not only are you attractive and witty, but you
make him scream 100 names of Durga, and he could really fall for you.
Many
men aren’t ready
for this, or they are permanently broken by suffocating
moms, and mistake love for being consumed.  If you are too
good, he might push you away for the same reason most people don’t do hard
drugs.

You can get taken for granted.

Men often don’t have as much sexual experience as they pretend to. 
If he’s nearly a virgin, or most of his previous experiences have been
with prostitutes or pub predators, then he may think that great sex
is just what happens when they’re with a woman who really cares for them.
 
They might be the type of guy who is always trying to “trade up”, and figure
that if it ends with you, they can just go right out and find another one
just like you, but maybe prettier or otherwise more socially convenient. 
Heh.

You can be mistaken for being in love.

This one is closely related to being taken for granted, but has a darker
tinge to it.  If he thinks you’re in love, then he often thinks he
can keep you no matter what he does.  Even if he’s right, the sane
sexual woman isn’t going to take crap from him.  He’ll think you will
though.

Your sexual confidence is like any other aspect of your ego. 
With too much use and abuse, it will suffer.
  My personal choice
has been to go with my own flow, which means near absitnence.  I chose
not to waste my time bothering about being valued by others who clearly
don’t care or have bad intentions.  I consider sexual attention more
a gift from the universe than from an individual until that individual
displays a connection with the universe that wouldn’t allow them to involve
another person in a narcissistic sexual demonstration.  So, I don’t
waste my better talents anymore with those who wouldn’t be able to relate
to true ecstasy anyway.

Remember that you don’t owe anyone your vagina as a sacrifice. 
So don’t sacrifice, and there’s no need to feel used.

Save the scented candles, massages, and poetry for someone who you already
know appreciates your time and your pleasure.

On the positive side, a man who cares something for you doesn’t need
you to perform like a circus animal
to care about you.  You don’t
need to jump through any hoops on the initial sexual encounters. 
If you begin to gradually use more of your skills once a real relationship
has been established, he’s not going to complain.  He’ll be nicely
surprised.

In other words, even if you’re that good, sometimes it is best to save
something for the next time
