When I was in my twenties, I figured something out: If you are a weird-looking dude (which I am) and you want to date exclusively beautiful women (which I do), the key is to pursue beautiful women who are already in relationships. Let's say you live in Omaha and you meet a hot single woman who is actively dating lots of guys. In order to win her affection, you have to be more desirable than every other single guy in Omaha. It's you against everybody. However, let's say you meet a hot woman who is dating some dude named Mitch. This situation is way, way easier. Now you merely have to be more desirable than Mitch. It's you against him. However, what I've come to realize is that I was not convincing these women to like me; I was merely convincing them that staying faithful to Mitch was unreasonable. I wasn't seducing them in any real context; I was simply eroding their morality.
