Emotions and Ms. Slav, Low-cut top girl and a weird foursome

Last Friday, after a decent interval since I'd last seen her (er, had sex with her...), Ms. Slav came over and we discussed this, and what else in her life has been going on (a lot), what else has been going in mine (not that much), and the nature of being in different stages of life. The sex was weirdly tender and emotional... I don't think it was "goodbye sex," but it may be "de-escalation" sex. She is still learning a lot of things (more on that later). One nice thing about Ms. Slav is that pretty much any time we get together, we have sex, no matter what else is happening. Regular f**king really does smooth over a lot of other issues... if more women understood this and implemented it, the divorce rate would be considerably lower. Just getting on the knees and sucking a couple times a week really does strengthen relationships. Couples therapists need to start assigning blowjob therapy if they are serious about helping people in relationships.

Low-cut top girl DID show up to the foursome, and I was pretty surprised. She dressed in an outfit very similar, or maybe identical, to the one she was wearing the night I met her... only two months ago... feels like a lot longer.

The foursome was pretty straightforward, although early on the woman in the other couple asked a lot of questions about how we know each other and what our relationship is like. I thought I might be headed home alone, as the other couple could tell we don't know each other well. Many couples prefer to swap with another established, firm couple, as that limits some kinds of jealousy, as well as some mate-poaching behavior. Alcohol and novelty won the day, however, and I split a hotel room with the other guy. Woman was pretty but not too special, late 20s/early 30s, and she and her man had clearly made the full swap decision ahead of time. The other guy wanted to make a sex tape (like me!), but she nixed it. All in the game. I did a really nice job railing her from behind and got into that zone where the sex is pleasurable but not so overwhelming as to make me finish early. The woman also didn't tighten as much as some women do when they orgasm, so that let me keep going. High-performance nights are always nice.

The other guy had performance troubles, so I gave him a bit of substance to help, and about 45 minutes later he was ready to go. I told him that it's common to seek certain aids in that situation, as it can be harder to perform in a group among novel participants than among basic one-on-one sex. Plus, just trying to put people at ease when they're uncomfortable or anxious goes a long way to solving discomfort or anxiety. "It's okay, don't worry about it, it happens to everyone sometimes" are all magic words. Sort of like how players know that "It's okay, you can leave any time you want to" often disarms LMR. I have sometimes stood up when I'm with a girl and moved away from her and said, "The door is right over there. I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do. You can walk out now or any time." A little comfort is useful.

Overall a successful evening. Low-cut top girl was annoyed that I wouldn't let her stay in the hotel. I needed to go home and told her needed to as well. She argued that I had already paid for the hotel, which was true, but I told her that I also needed to go home. I told her that if she wanted to stay she had to give them her credit card, which she wouldn't do. Bit of an ugly scene. May have cued the other couple to make an independent play for her. I hope they do. Low-cut top girl is absolutely the sort of chick who'd clean out the mini-bar and order $500 in bullshit on my card. Doesn't speak well of her, now that I read my own description of her. I need to find more compatible chicks. I would actually trust Ms. Slav not to do that kind of shit. She might do it inadvertently, because that's what she does in expensive hotels.

This week, Low-cut top girl has been sending me a lot of messages (many of them I'm not replying to, in keeping my "once per day at most" texting and Internet distraction philosophy) but refusing to come over... that might be for the best. We've been on an accelerated timeline, so maybe from open to ending is going to occur in less time than usual. After our foursome that is surprising, even to me, but that foursome may have been a one-time thing. She samples the food, doesn't care for it, is glad she tried it, moves on with her life.

Low-cut top girl also wants to know why I don't take her out to dinner, which, along with music/concerts, has been a historical sore point and push-pull point for me and chicks. I told her to read The Millionaire Next Door (a great book, you should read it). I might give her a copy if I see her again, though she is the kind of girl who is going to yo-yo back and forth or just ghost me when she finds another dude. I have lower financial discipline than I did when I really had no money... I need to quit buying camera gear, which is a vice of mine... but I still have pretty decent financial disipline... and part of that is just not spending money on stupid shit like expensive dinners out. I like a lot of what are now called "fast casual" places... she apparently likes expensive sit-down places? I dunno, I can countenance those at work... I can deal with them rarely... a lot of the time I'd rather just have some falafel or a burrito bowl, plus extra cash in pocket. Real freedom is not having to worry about money.

Most restaurants are also just too damn noisy, and that's terrible for social bonding or learning.

Mostly, though... it's the money... and the number of people who are better to talk to, than a book is to be read... well... it's not as high as I'd like. This girl also liked expensive restaurants, but she was kind of weird in public... she'd be fine in private, one-on-one, but didn't interact well in public. It was like dating two different chicks, personality-wise. Oddly, that girl wants to get a drink w/ me... I have been meaning to do it.

I tweeted, "Building the mind is a lifelong project." If you are not reading you are probably not learning as much as you can or should.

Ms. Slav, though... Ms. Slav is also discovering the downside of saying "yes" too much... she is stretched thin. I would phrase it as, she is giving away a lot of value... so everyone is coming out to grab some... and she needs to retract / guard her value a little better. Chicks would never frame something this way... but that is what I see. I told her about my growing discomfort with how I am living, and my desire to do something different. I think she gets it. Although she thinks I can do family AND do the life I have been living... it's not impossible, just really f**king unlikely. One rule in game is to assume the median girl, at least until proven otherwise. Guys know that it's POSSIBLE to be standing around at a regular party or whatever, and have some stunning 8 open you and then f**k her later that night. It's also POSSIBLE for Tinder to work that way. It's just super unlikely. You want to take high-percentage shots. In today's NBA, that means threes or right next to the basket. It's POSSIBLE to win with a lot of long twos... just not likely.

Guys who want to win, try to put themselves in the best position possible to win at whatever their game is. For a guy who wants to be in the game, that means moving to a city and not living in a rural area or an exurb. For a guy who wants a kid, how I am living... is not the optimal way to go about that goal.

With Low-cut top girl, I feel like I am experiencing deja vu... she is new to me but is overall close to the typical female. So close that I feel like I've already seen everything she says or does. Ms. Slav is the exact opposite.
