-Is currently in vegas for her 21st birthday.Keep in mind, when im with her she doesnt drink but she posted snapchats of all the bottles of alcohol she bought.
-She doesnt respond when I text her but shes on twitter posting statuses
-I called her to make sure everythings ok, shes answers with one word answer not like the lovie dovie she usually is
-I text her asking why shes acting weird. No response.


Notice how it is all ACTIONS? Thus we are able to actually see the true picture of what is going on.
That's a good description of some of the female threads, too. And then there are the ones that go:

My wife hasn't had sex with me in years! I try to talk to her about it, but all she does is promise to change, then nothing changes. I can't take it anymore! Should I dump her?


There's really not a lot of difference between a lot of the male and female threads. A few try to present a balanced view, but most speak solely from their own perspective. It's a human characteristic, not a gendered one. Sorry to burst your little biased bubble.

And women think/feel the exact opposite -that women like men more.

True. (Back to topic) And then there are the couples who are clearly devoted to each other. Finding a good match is key, and is much easier said than done.

I think this is why I have a hard time getting past a few dates. If a woman doesn't show she's interested in me fairly quickly I don't feel like she's worth putting effort into, even if I really like her.

I'll find someone else who enjoys spending time with me.
Haha.

By the same token, men also want a high value women.
I know. I never said high value always means money. All I said is high value trumps being "nice".

Being nice is part of the high-value package. Women dig nice, if it's sincere. Even when it's not sincere, some of 'em fall for it. I've seen dudes really play that for all it's worth.

There'll always be women after the model-looking dudes, or the high earners. But there will always be women who go for their own idea of "cute", value, etc.

How does this "high value" theory explain the women who go for trailer trash, hood rats, and cons, btw? This forum is so full of bogus theories and stereotypes, I'm surprised some of these posters can even get their pants on in the morning.
High value is the preference. But women are limited to what they can attract and keep themselves. Haven't you been reading?

Men want models too.. but most of us will never get one. So what do you do? We go with a more average woman whom we can actually get. Women do the same thing.

So I don't know why are you so confused by the concept of "high value".

I guess that explains why my 20's were so frustrating and my 30's are so awesome.

High value is the preference, and high value is what they go for--high value in their eyes. It's not like they're settling for the dweebs as a default. That's what some chicks dig. Diff strokes for diff folks. Everyone has a different definition of what high value is. One woman's high value dude is another's "average". One thinks she's hit the jackpot, while her friend observing her thinks she's settling, or just plain crazy, lol.

There's no predicting chick-kind, or putting them all in the same pigeonhole.

Being kind is part of the high-value package. Being "nice" is not.
