Hey, I understand. I was a shy guy too. The night I met my wife, one of my buddies literally put his hand on my lower back and pushed me into her so I would talk to her. I wasn't the best looking guy, never worked out a day in my life but she thought I was cute and that's all that mattered. Once we had our introductions it was on.

You need to find that extra gear. For the record, if you do decide to wait, I have no trouble talking to women now that I'm in my 40s so there's that..

actually all I'm looking for is a 6/10 or higher who is a good person, everything else is negotiable

Personally, I became much pickier in my 40s than I was in my 20s. I knew what I did and did not want, and had no problem passing on men if any of the traits I (felt) needed were not present; or, the reverse.

I had a good life, good friends and loved being alone. I would rather have stayed home and binge watched Netflix than to spend time with a guy who wasn't right for me.

He's a short term fun toy for them. whether Its a month or 3. Highly a measure for how desirable he is to other successful professionals his age.

then explain what's happening to me. Why have women in their 40s been so receptive to me?

bullsh*t, all the women wanted me long term. I was the one who cut it off


The 35 year old wouldn't stop texting me for a year. She was very unattractive though, the worst looking one in the group

I think it's you. You are acting different around them (because that's not who you want), and are being more appealing.

Can't rule out that you ARE good looking. Women in their 40s have no problem with having a boy toy.

yea all 4 of the women wouldn't stop complimenting me and telling me how much they loved my muscles



You think that because I'm not as attracted or as interested in these women that my behavior is more attractive towards them? I don't understand, why do women want somebody who does not want them?

In terms of money and success for example, I won't stop until I'm making close to 500-800K a year. That's not top 1%, that's more like top 0.1%

Clearly you aren't even in the top 20% when it comes to getting a woman your age.

Maybe. But you could also be dead by then.

I think you should be very conscious that time is running out for you, minute by minute.

Tick tock.
