[D49]Dating For Women Over 40
by John Alanis, Joh

A few years ago, when I still believed in dating, I went on date with a woman I'd managed to create initial attraction with. I didn't recognize the signals at the time, but I'd been acting in a naughty/funny way around her and she was attracted to me. Eventually I decided to ask her for her number (another mistake but she was so attracted it didn't matter), and she agreed to go out.

When she showed up at my door, she looked great, and I thought I was in for a good time (by dating standards). But, I relapsed into the "nice guy/wuss" and she didn't get the man she thought she was getting. Needless to say it ended with a peck on the cheek and unreturned phone calls. There was however, something very interesting that came out of that experience, something that taught me a valuable dating lesson, and that I was better off not seeing her.

You see, during the dinner conversation (yeah, I took her to dinner--I was pretty dumb back then) we got to talking about dating and different people we knew. How she described each person was incredibly revealing--they were either "out of her league" or she was "out of their league." She had a personal caste system and put herself squarely in the middle--the sign of a mediocre self image.

Since she was there with me, she obviously put me "in the same league as her," which, was, squarely in the middle. Now since I don't view the world in terms of "leagues" (I view it in terms of outcomes), if we'd gone out longer, our viewpoints would have collided. Viewing the world in terms of leagues is not a good way to go. People who think this way are concerned with what other people think of them, and how others perform relative to them instead of being concerned with their own personal goals and outcomes. They often become the best of the worst, letting other people's standards and beliefs control what they get out of life. This is not only true in dating, but in all sorts of aspects of life.

A lot of guys instinctively do this when it comes to dating, or as I teach what they should be doing, attracting women. They say, "She's out of my league," diminishing their own self image, instead of saying, "I know how to create attraction, perhaps I'll allow her to experience with me what she cannot with other men."

This is outcome oriented thinking, the result of a strong self image backed up by results from taking action with good information, i.e. competence. There's not even a thought of "leagues" or "levels" or any other such limiting factors. All there are is results, with the belief that results can be achieved simply by mastering a skill. Now, isn't that much more fun adn liberating than thinking in terms of dating, and this silly business about "leagues"?

This is the belief all successful people have, no matter what area they choose to succeed in, not just dating. If you find yourself thinking in terms of leagues or levels, you should replace that with results oriented thinking. You will immediately begin to get more results, and your self image will immediately strengthen because you don't give a flip what others think about you.


If you look at it from an ?economic? standpoint, it doesn't benefit women at all to have their man running around having sex with other women. She can only be pregnant with one child at a time, and she can only raise a limited number at a time. So having a man who's out spreading his seed is BAD BAD BAD for business for her.

When you're out spreading seed, you can't be working or at home helping. Even worse, you might have other kids with other women who will further divide your attention and income. (By the way, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with women's perspectives. I'm just saying that if you look at it from their point of view, there's not a lot of benefit to having a man who likes to sleep with a lot of women.)

So anything that promotes monogamy like religion is seen as ?right? to many women, as it goes along with what they think and feel.

Now let's talk about men.

My research leads me to believe that men are ?naturally? inclined to have one main woman to whom they are devoted, but that they like to sleep with other women as the opportunity arises. You can believe what you want, but do yourself a favor and read Matt Ridley's book, The Red Queen, before you start speculating.

Think about it. There are major advantages to men (or at least to their genes) to sleep with many women.

First, it doesn't take a lot of energy, and there's not very much risk involved. (I realize that there is risk of disease, etc., but for the moment think about the fact that a man could probably father dozens of children before a disease would take him out, making the tradeoff, genetically speaking, a no-brainer.)

I personally believe that men are hard-wired to look for sexual opportunities and seek out sexual variety. (Let me also add that just because you're hard-wired to like sweet foods doesn't mean that you should only eat sweet foods. This will lead you to sickness and eventually to disease and death.)

With this in mind, I'd like you to ask yourself:

What are my beliefs about monogamy?

Where did they come from?

Do I like my beliefs?

Do my beliefs conflict with my inner drives?

Would I like to change what I believe based on this new information?

In any event, from now forward, don't let anyone or anything make you feel bad because of your NATURAL desires and attraction to women. (I'm of course talking about reasonable desires and attractions. If you like to think about hurting women, underage women, etc., then do yourself a favor and get some help.)

But if you're like me and you were given a set of ideas about women that you are now realizing to be less than useful, then move on and start thinking about the subject differently.

My perspective is that sleeping with different women breaks no ?law of the universe?, and it's not an ethical dilemma for me. Any objections that are in existence were created mostly to control and not to liberate. My perspective is also that it's important to be honest with people about your views. And yes, this means talking to women about them. In my life, I've mostly had long-term girlfriends. And if I tell a woman that I'm going to be faithful, then I am.

But if I'm single, then I see nothing wrong with dating as many women as I want. (Keep in mind that there are some crazy viruses, diseases, and other scary bugs that want to jump on your wiener. So use good judgment.)

I've found that if you explain this topic like I just have to a woman, you'll often show her a perspective that she's never even considered. My experience is that women actually LOVE to hear a man talking this way. It's refreshing to women to hear a man being open about this controversial topic rather than hiding his ideas. It's important to remember what I said above: ?It's OK To Be A Man.?

If you are who you are and make no apologies for yourself, you will be taken seriously. But if you approach the topic cautiously and act like you're trying to see if she's OK with your views, you'll be seen as weak and insecure.

I've found that most women will accept you as you are. But if you try to act like someone that you're not and you're found out, you will be treated with disrespect and ex-communicated.
