I'd probably still eat my chocolate if it came in baby food jars. I have a sweet tooth.

He's right, it's all about how you market yourself.
Make yourself seem desirable but unattainable: they want you but they can't have you.

Doing this might be easier to say than to do, though... it's a bit hard to sell yourself well if you don't believe what you're saying. First raise your self esteem somehow (pay girls for sex, talk to girls online, do whatever it takes to make yourself more comfortable) and when you truly believe you deserve a girl, just go talk to her. You have to truly feel that it's her loss of she doesn't want you. If you believe you're worth it, you'll act like you're worth it.

There have actually been a fair amount of studies on this and I'd be inclined to agree generally with what you're saying. What I've often seen as the result of these studies tends to go:

Women tend to raise standards for casual sex, as there are many "top dogs" that are unattainable in a long term relationship but might be open for a one night stand. (Rich, famous, model, etc). But for a long term relationship, women on average might have different standards, more in line with what is reasonably attainable.

The flip side to that, is men tend to lower standards for casual sex whenever possible, being more likely to be with someone they aren't that attracted to, just for the prospect of the sex alone. While for a long term relationship, they raise them drastically.

So it's just a bit of evolutionary wiring at play, with both sides often having opposing goals, and thus it's easy for either side to "feel used."

The final important thing to remember, is that such trends don't represent the entirety of the experience, rather likely the majority of it. I know personally, as a man that lacks most manly ornaments, (money, high powered career, social status, etc), that at least one conventionally attractive woman would like to choose me over "more favorable" alternatives, simply because she really likes my personality (honesty, genuineness, kindness, intelligence, etc). Due to circumstances (distance, money, etc), we are separated without a real chance at that and that is upsetting to us both.

So the tricky thing people have here, is they see these huge trends going certain directions, and they assume that anything outside those trends is "impossible." When in reality, it's just much less likely, and believing it impossible is what makes it so.

This reminds me of a saying that I read somewhere once: Men chase after the prettiest woman they can afford and women chase after the richest man they can catch (trap). My man misses the main point here-he can afford to be picky about his choice in females-most L.S. types cannot; the women don't choose them at all. One coworker asked about choosing girls that are"out of my leauge"-I then replied "Hell, they're ALL out of my leauge!!!"

So the moral is:

get rich, then instead of not getting the women, they can't get you. In both situations you lose, but in the second you are at least rich while not having a women, hurray =)

That's how the post sound, when you read it
