I was watching a show on one of the science-type channels (either Nat'l Geographic or the Discovery channel) about the science of love and attraction. What stuck with me was an experiment they did with ten men and ten women. In the first experiment, each person had a number on their forehead that they couldn't see but others could. They were instructed to hook up with the highest number possible. From that experiment, you see that it is the number of offers that tells you how high your number is - and how high you can aim. The more offers you get, the higher your number is; conversely, the more rejections you get, the lower your number is. It worked the same way when they told them to hook up with the most attractive member of the opposite sex. Most wound up with someone considered to be in the same range of attractiveness, however that's measured. I have a point here. I see so many men whining about not being able to get women to notice them. My question to you is, who are you trying to attract? I knew a guy who was not terribly attractive and didn't have a lot of money, but he slept with an enormous amount of women. Why? Because he knew the secret - he aimed low. Older women and lonely women tend to be more open than younger, prettier women. (He was also great in bed.) You know all those sweet young things that appear on your login screen? They get lots of offers. They don't have the time or the inclination to answer every email they get. So consider for a moment, how high are you aiming? And how great a catch are you?
