Please do.I'm not a biology teacher, but let me take you through a quick non-classroom session on attraction, mating and long-term relationships to help your understanding
Mm. I thought for a bit on what you wrote, @Stark, and looking at the women I see while going about my day, I think you’re right that it would be a good idea to have sex—or try to have sex—with some of them (unless they don’t want it, of course, but you say that they do want it). Not only would it ease the tension, as I described earlier, but it would help by giving me a sense of control over my own life, rather than leaving it in the hands of others.When you walk through a mall and see a woman who's your exact physical type, dressed to impress, moving with feminine poise - your hypothalamus (old brain) reacts to initiate a mating response.
You approach her, get her number, have sex with her on the first date and get into an intense NRE.
From her POV, when an attractive man (Marty) walks up to her, makes eye contact, teases her, takes her number, and sets up a first date - her hypothalamus is running the show.
Her pleasure center is on overload and your escalations overrides her societally conditioned frontal cortex(don't be a slut etc.) easily.
I don’t pretend to understand all of the instructions published on this site, or even most of them, and in any case, I don’t think I could hold it all in my head while out meeting people. But I find all of it interesting, whether it has practical applicability or not. The subject itself holds a fascination for me.
What I’ve tried to do is log as much practice as possible, and try to integrate the lessons from the articles—and kindly advice from people like you on the forum—into the interactions themselves, to boost the pace of improvement through intelligent work rather than just sheer repetition alone. I can see now that I was trying to bite off more than I could chew: The literature is simply too big and I can’t carry all that theory around while still acting normally in everyday situations.
When I originally started posting on the forum, I wasn’t looking for love, or for a girlfriend (which I’ve been lucky to have, oftener than not, through the course of my adult life); nor was I seeking casual sex. I was hoping that I could bring more women into my life, which would make it richer, as well as improving relationship decisions by virtue of having greater optionality, and producing a greater chance of success, through experience, with the women I do love. I haven’t succeeded in that aim, but the practical work has given me so many memorable experiences, recorded in my Field Reports, and at the same time I’ve met lots of lovely people on the forum, who have enriched my experience also.You would need some re-programming to start viewing women as the depraved yet pretty sexual creatures they are.
Then test your newfound beliefs with new women on upcoming dates- you'll be in for a pleasant shock - There will be virtually no LMR if you execute this right.
Also sets the foundation for a great relationship that you're probably looking for.
I think that the problem for action-oriented individuals (as I have always been in other walks of life, especially the professional sphere) is that dating seems to be an awful lot of chat and not much actual doing. Talk for its own sake is very mentally draining. Of course, with a beautiful woman it’s a lot more bearable, but it still feels like work.
That’s why, lately, I’ve preferred to take vacations with young women, as described for example in my Botticelli FR, or in the comment thread of the QueenBee one. At least that way you’re doing something nice together, and not just stuck in a coffee shop facing each other and trying to make awkward conversation. And if you do want to chat, you can always grab dinner in the evening somewhere nice. But it’s too time-consuming, as well as too financially unsustainable, to be a reliable source of connections with multiple women.
I realize I probably have to make some changes to my process, although I’m not sure exactly how. But awareness is the first step, so thanks to you among others for helping me to get there. And yes, I’ve ordered that other book, let me see if I can get more out of it than the last one!I recently read 'Bass-Ackwards' by Eris Adderly and loved it.

@Stark, that’s a good point, now that you come to mention it.During texting:
While texting I continue the flirty vibe & borderline sexual teases.
Again with the girl from Botticelli FR, whom I’ve known a few years, and who claims to be “taking a break from her personal life to focus on her career” yet nonetheless spontaneously starts texting me again, I raised the subject of polygamy, as an alternative cultural answer to the question of successful Western men who stray and end up having to file for divorce:
Marty: The Arabian nation has a different practice: If you are capable of taking on additional responsibility, and straightening it out all round, go ahead. But continue to love the first one. Probably not for nothing!
Botticelli: Something to think about.
M: Do you think that a beautiful and successful sheikh is able to satisfy all four wives? Or do you think they experience frustration while awaiting their turn?
B: The concept of “satisfaction” varies between individuals, as does the sexual constitution




I’m thinking of answering along the lines of: “Well the norm would be 1/4, so you’re already a pretty greedy girl, aren’t you?”
Sound good?
