I would first like to thank all of you gentlemen who post on here and make this forum useful and insightful. I have been a long time lurker but today I have decided to post. To give a little background of myself: I am 21, 6'3, 190 pounds (12%-13% body fat), white, live in the Mid Western US, and I would say I dress nice (this is the most common compliment I receive). I say this not to brag, I am actually quite unhappy with my ability to pull women and my dating life. I have seen a lot of you guys on here with more unfavorable stats do much better than me. I'm not here to whimper and complain, I realize that it is a skill issue and it is within my responsibility to fix.
What has been bugging me recently is the idea that you are sort of locked at a certain level of attractiveness when it comes to the people you date. The data seems to support this as people tend to date and marry people of comparable social status, education, financial income, and I believe this would apply to physical attractiveness as well. The reason this has been so painful to me is that despite having multiple long term relationships and some casual flings (I would say that I have slept with around 15 women all in all), I have never had a girl that I consider really physically attractive. I have never had a girl that I was really proud to show off. This is not to imply that the girls I have dated have been ugly, but just average. Furthermore, I would like to state that I don't have some unrealistic standard and I only want to date model-level women. Girls that I find most attractive are the cute-girl-next-door type.
I feel like if this is true that I am preordained to end up with a partner that I don't regard as physically attractive as I would want them to be. Of course, another part of me just wants to think: "Skill issue bro, just get more jacked/wealthy/outgoing. The trouble is that I have become these things in the last 4 years, but what I have found is that while it has become much easier to get girls, these girls have been on the same level as before, it's just easier to get them. I have not seen a dramatic improvement in the attractiveness of the women that I have talked with or gone on dates with or slept with.
Now with that in mind I'd like to pose the questions: Did you start to attract more beautiful women as you got better at this? If yes, at what point did you notice the change? Do you think this is just some mental thing of me not wanting to go out of my comfort zone in terms of the women I go for?
In conclusion I'd like to say thank you in advance to all of you that are going to take time out of your day to read this or maybe even offer some advice. I'm looking forward to engaging with you guys. : )
