Passing through my mid twenties after a good, solid run of RP. Plates were never a problem, built my career to where I want it to be right now, good group of friends. The downside is that the women I've been with don't do much for me anymore (solid 9s, but y'know, some of you have been there) and the ones who are intriguing aren't as moved by RP.

My older brother's wife has been introducing me around to a few of her friends, quality girls, a few I enjoy spending time around. I'll use one as an example for what I'm curious about. She's a little younger than me, solid 9 on a rough day, owns her own business training police/military dogs. Kind of a fun mix of tomboy and feminine.

The thing is, she recognizes frame/abundance/etc. and I see her practice it herself. She calls it when it's anything less than sincere in others. What has worked for years seems like cheap party tricks when I look at it from her point of view.

Just a casualty of getting older? Dating more intelligent, confident women? Or just a sign it's time to up my own game? Thoughts?
