Uh…you’ll have to excuse me if I’m a bit unclear on the timeline. Your girlfriend (now wife) gave you this advice and 2 months later you were “on your way” (I can only interpret this as shagging lots of women).

Ya’ll in an open relationship? How’s wifey feel about this?

Anyway, this just goes to show that women aren’t just interested in money or accomplishments, am I right? It almost seems as if your way of being matters ;)

I think I already expressed this in the article, but it probably wasn’t being a “distant jerk” that gained you what you wanted — it’s that you at least seemed like you had other things going on. I used to hate it when a guy made me his first priority right off the bat. It showed me how flimsy his goals and sense of self was. If a similarly successful man put me in the appropriate place in his priorities (not number 1 since he barely knew me) I tended to be much more impressed with him — as I well should have been. I wanted a chance to impress HIM, and then for him to recognize what was good about me and slowly move me up higher in his list of priorities. That kind of discernment was HOT, and showed me that he liked me for more than just how I looked.

Wow, looks like I have some steam here, maybe I should write an article about that.
