Is it normal that i play it cool when i go out?
I've got a new situation, I just moved to LA and I am 25. I used to club/drug/drink/sex alot when I was 21-23 but now I go out maybe once a month to see some friends.
I drink minimally and don't do drugs and in a way going out to the bar to hit on girls, while girls know that guys are trying to hit on them seems to be so lame.
Maybe its my own opinion about myself, I'm not sure if this matters but I've been in over 40 relationships and I've never had to buy or impress my gf's. 95% of the time I end the relationships or contact so I am definitely in control when I am with girls.
When I was 21, my business I started from nothing was worth millions of dollars. I never tell any of my girlfriends how much money I have, they just get the idea from seeing the way I behave in situations with other people and phone calls I have to take. I got over the show off period when I was even younger so I don't show off. This is what makes girls that already know me well not want to give me up, and I always know how to balance the respect and keep all my relationships in check.
I've also not dated a girl I picked up at a club for over a year. I've completely changed the type of women I see in my life now. Club girls I know very well and they have certain outlooks/expectations on life. Really, I got sick of myself being with so many of them, and I am a little sick of them as well.
I guess I feel really good about being in relationships where the girls knows her place. If I have to dance like a monkey, jump through extra hoops, just because its a nightclub or bar, thats something part of me is no longer willing to do. Partially perhaps my skills have waned in this area, and I've refocused my energy in building and contributing to life rather than screwing anyone I can get my hands on.
I hope my perspective is right. I know there are people that goto the club that are all good, but I have had such a crazy experience in the past that its the last place I want to see myself pickin up women.
Now during the day and everything else is a completely different story. I meet women from normal places and if I see there is enough interest, I will allow her to exchange contact info and stuff.
Yeah, and if I know a girl well enough to know that I like her for reasons beyond good makeup and young skin, I know I would easily go up to her and flirt and go through extra hoops.
Its just that it seems that girls who are at nightclubs expect guys to do multiple hoops since they expect guys to be guys and be sexually hungry. I can definitely control my sexual appetite to the point where I don't want to be like everyone else.
Main thing is that girls at nightclubs, especially the pretty closed groups I am in want to see the guy invested in them before they start giving up themselves. This is to prevent looking silly getting rejected by a guy. But its unequal and I am not willing to accept a role of pretty much begging.
