IMHO, my SMV is pretty good (tall, muscular, good career, etc) and I'm always working on my game skills. And I've actually done a few girls who were cheating boyfriends with me, so I know that boyfriends don't always mean squat.

Sometimes I'll be talking with a new girl and she's engaged in the conversation and even showing some IoI's. But she keeps mentioning her boyfriend. What's going on?

A She's mentioning him as a subtle way to inform me that she's not interested, except maybe as an orbiter. If we apply the "Brad Pitt rule" she'd never mention him at all?

B Women are a hollow shell and have trouble expressing themselves outside of the context of their "man" if they have one. Despite her interest in you, her conversation skills are limited.

Which is more plausible?
