Secret Hope For Beta Males? Female Bloggers

Got this off Hot Air's headlines, and I have to figure Ed Morrissey found it, or else Allah would have headlined it like I did.

Six female bloggers sound off about mistakes men make in dating, and three of them are put off by... overconfidence and braggin' on what hot shit they are. (Not Karol, of course!)

So, basically, if more women were like female bloggers, Allah and I (and most of you) shouldn't be able to leave the house without raincoat & rubbers for all the downpour of female attention and the splashing in puddles of adoring women.

Which leads me to believe 1) women bloggers are nothing like normal women or most likely 2) women bloggers are exactly like normal women in that they lie their pretty asses off.

Hmm... Since Allah linked this I guess I'll write more than just a name-check.

I kind of get what they're saying: I don't dig on unsolicited bragging myself, from anyone. Ices me over, no matter what the situation.

On top of that, I think if anyone is really interested at all they're going to start an intelligence-gathering mission to determine how happening you are. So they're going to ask things to elicit information about what kind of stud you might (or might not) be; you really don't have to offer that up from the get-go.

Besides, no one believes anything anyone says. Unless they actually like you anyway.

The other thing is I think guys still all smart from the "strategy" employed by the middle-school studs (I say middle school because that's where the most intense memories of rejection and the unfairness of life began; by high school it was already just accepted... mostly). That "strategy" seemed to be: Act like you don't give a shit, act like you could have anyone else you wanted, act like you're doing a girl a favor to be seen with her.

The trouble with our stupid male brains is, I think, we got the idea those dudes were scoring because of that strategy, whereas, in fact, they were going to score no matter what they did, being studs and all, and thus they weren't scoring because of that strategy, more like in spite of it. They were scoring because they were richer, better-looking, more athletic and more popular than everyone else. Their attitude wasn't getting them all that tail tail, it was getting so much tail that was giving them that attitude.

Anyway: It occurs to me that that strategy only works if, in fact, the woman is ga-ga for you anyway and nothing short of being arrested by the police for serial murder in the middle of chatting her up is going to put her off you. And anyone attempting to emulate what they thought worked in seventh grade is going to find out life is even more unfair than they previously imagined.
