Well the title explains it. I am just wondering why this is happening, and what I can do to shift the age group down to my age. I am 23, and the girls I attract are 30-35, which I’m really not that into. Originally I thought it was from wearing IG, but a couple night ago I think I disproved that.
I had sprayed 1 shot of IG to the hair, and split one drop of A314 behind the ears prior to a job interview (which, by the way, landed me an offer a few hours later for exactly the $ I wanted) earlier in the day. That was approximately 12 HOURS before going out later that night.
I went to a bar with my brother-in-law to play pool (we live together). I ended up drinking a few pitchers to myself, which wasn’t what I had planned, but I wasn’t planning on picking up chicks either, so who cares? As I walked in the bar, I did my usual routine, and spotted the cutest girl I could find and tried to make eye contact with her. The cutest girl happened to be a 32 year old brunette with a decent face, but I probably wouldn’t put her past a 6 (though I’m not fond of the rating system but at least you have some basis to go on). She looked at me, and I locked eye contact from about 10 feet away and held it until she smiled, then I smiled and turned to the bartender to make my order and get some pool balls. I had no interest in this girl, but it’s something I do when I enter a bar I guess just to establish some sort of presence. After my order, I didn’t look or talk to her, and ignored her the rest of the time.
After a couple hours of pool we decided to leave. I went up to the bar to pay my tab, and the girl pops up out of nowhere next to me and starts hitting on me harder than I am used to getting from girls - kinoing, placing her hand over mine, staring into my eyes with a look that I could only describe as… desire? She noticed I was leaving and was trying to reel me in before I left. It was very offputting to me, so I made a bit of small talk, tried not to act akward, and we bailed.
Got back home, reallized I wasn’t tired, my sister was being bitchy, and I really wasn’t ready to end the night, so we went back out to shoot pool some more. Tried another bar but they only have a couple tables and it was crowded, so went back to the dive where we started. I thought the way I blew the chick off she would leave me alone, but not the case. I was VERY drunk at this point, but we got another pitcher anyway. As I walked in, I did the same thing as earlier with another chick at the bar, probably also a 6 and around 30. Locked eye contact, she smiled, I smiled, I got my alchohol and walked away. I think of it as innocent flirting, and as long as I don’t approach them, they aren’t going to do anything either.
Well, for the rest of the time we were there I had both of these girls constantly jockeying for my attention, which I was trying not to give either of them. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was fun. At one point, when I was about too drunk to talk right, the first chick sat down next to me and I made out with her for a bit. My drunken line of thinking was she wouldn’t talk that way. But then I told her I wasn’t going to do anything with her, and that she should leave me her number for later. She got up pissy and stormed away back to her table, and I went back to ignoring her. A few minutes later the guy who was hitting on her friend came over and begged me to pull her away so he could hook up with her friend. Then her friend came over to talk to me to get me to go talk to her, and when she got there, she started hitting on me with that same weird look in her eyes. Then the dude came back over and threw me the girls number written on a napkin. Then the other chick I flirted with came over for about the fifth time to talk, and was touching my face and ended up kissing me on the forehead. None of which I remembered until my brother in law reminded me the next day.
The annoying part of all this is that I don’t have this affect on younger girls, or girls I am at least attracted to. This isn’t the first time this has happened recently. It seems every time I go out with my brother in law it is a similar experience, with or without pheromones (there’s really no discernable difference for me yet). I mean, it’s fun in a weird way to be the center of attention for girls you have no interest in, but not productive for me.
So after telling that story, what I am wondering is - what am I doing to make this happen? I don’t usually approach girls, though I will flirt with them with my eyes/smile. Younger girls too. In fact this same night there was a super cute pool shark chick I flirted with a bit, but she didn’t approach, even though I got good eye contact and a big prolonged smile. Is it that the better looking ones will leave you alone until you initiate something, whereas the older or less attractive ones aren’t getting the attention so they have to go out and approach guys themselves? I don’t know because the chick I made out with had a couple guys who were interested in her and were hitting on her.
Is it just the way I flirt with them that I am intriguing so they HAVE to come say something? I’m trying to figure this out because I am newly single, and new the the pick-up scene. Not sure that I have any interest in being a PUA, but I am taking a great deal of interest recently in the way humans - particularly opposite sexes - interact.
I should maybe mention another weird thing that happened this night, as maybe it’s relavent. One of the times I went up to the bar, and ran into this big (about 6’2", I’m guessing around 230 lbs) redneck looking guy. I’m about 5’11" and 175 lbs - not a big guy. I said “hi” and he said something to the people he was talking to about how everyone is afraid of him. Then he turned back to me and said he was an ex-marine, and asked if I ever served, and I said “no, but my brother in law just got out of the marines a couple months ago” and invited him to come talk. My brother is a very dark skinned guy. Well the redneck guy walks up to him, talks for about 10 seconds, then turns back to me, and for some reason I, the uninteresting guy, become the center of attention. I notice the guy moving closer to me, and I hold eye contact with him for the entire time we are talking, until I notice he is standing about 6 inches from me and trying to stare me down. But rather than show that I was intimidated by him, which I was, I kept eye contact and tried to keep the conversation friendly, even though he pointed out the “skin” tattoo on his arm and his shaved head, and kept mentioning how he’s been to jail. It was fairly obvious this guy was wanting to intimidate people, and I wasn’t giving him his fun. The whole time my brother and I expected him to take a swing, but at some point I just tapped him on the side with the back of my hand and said “hey it’s been good talking, but we kind of want to get back to our game” and the guy turned and walked away.
The reason I mention that is because I hear people getting aggressive responses from other men with high levels of none. And also that they attract older women. I wasn’t wearing none at all though. Is it possible that I have naturally high levels? I mean, I never come across as being intimidating or aggressive to people, so the thought hasn’t occured to me before.
Any thoughts?
