well, at least, from my experience, there was only like 3 people who acted like them and they treated everyone else like inferiors, acted weird or mocking, etc.

most of them were only nice to the guys or didn’t talk to them, were rude to the girls.

    Incredibly true and good advice.

    It’s actually how I bagged the most beautiful woman I ever dated when I was younger.

    However, there’s other aspects of it, too.

    She stopped talking to me after about two months, and I spent years wondering how I fucked up.

    Years later, when she was with someone else we would reconnect and she admitted that it was actually because I was the first man who had actually wanted to know what was on her mind and respected her as an intelligent and thoughtful woman, and she really didn’t know how to handle it, nor did she feel like she deserved it. She had been pushed to be a traditional blonde cheerleader type, but by college, when I met her, she was finally trying to break out of that mold that really never fit her well. She would go on to further admit that she used to drive by my place and wonder how I was doing, and this was after I had moved, so she had found out my new place from a mutual friend.

    It was a head rush to find out. She still lives in my head as “the one who got away.” I’m not really sure there’s much else to boost a guys self esteem than to know he was being stalked by a smart, thoughtful and stunningly beautiful woman.

    Anyway, point being, those beautiful women may really not be what they look like on the outside, too. They might be a lot more like you than you think.

    Hope she’s doing well these days.
