Priorities and Ms. Slav's challenges in non-monogamy
Yesterday I did something new: I prioritized Peaches over Ms. Slav for sex. Ms. Slav has a somewhat difficult schedule, as do I, but she has been, or become, less reliable than I would like. I was tentatively supposed to see her for a nooner tomorrow... but Peaches was available, and I was more confident she would show up, and we've been having sex without condoms, and Ms. Slav has been becoming less reliable, so I picked Peaches.
The sex was great. Hotel sex is so dirty, and a lot of guys don't seem to do it properly... except for guys I know. While everyone else is busy doing normal things I'm in a woman, doing the thing that everyone else really wants to do.
Ms. Slav is getting a lesson in sexual marketplace values, I think, as well as her own difficulties. She has met a series of people (men, women, and couples) who she has liked. One couple pulled away from her when she started dating another couple whom the first couple had had a falling out with. Another couple, led by a guy, tried to make her their "girlfriend" after like one sex date. She was flakey with him, then he had a blowup at a party or event or something (I'm slightly hazy on the details myself). Guys keep adding her on Facebook, and she indulges them, in a way she should not. I think she should protect her value (I have implied that without using those words), but she is not doing that.
I think she believed the non-monogamy scene would be filled with people who aren't placing limits or bonds on each other, and who don't feel jealousy, as Ms. Slav says she doesn't. She has found some people like that. But she has found guys who are trying to take her, make her theirs, and control her sexuality... just like in the regular, monogamous world, just to a different degree.
She doesn't appreciate how desperately most guys desire young hot girls. There are just not that many really hot 18 - 22 year old girls in the scene. In anywhere except universities. When a young hot sexually explorative girl shows up, all the sharks rise, like throwing fresh meat into the water. I think Ms. Slav doesn't quite understand her own value. That makes sense, because I have seen some of the not-hot girls she's dated. She is less focused on the appearance of her partners than almost any other hot girl I’ve ever met. Most girls who are "pansexual" still aim for the hotter guys and girls. Ms. Slav doesn't do that. Very unusual. I know the Internet is full of guys saying, "This girl is different," but she is different. Ms. Slav can have sex with any straight man she wants. Guys do not experience the same with straight women.
At the same time, though, she wants someone like a "primary partner," to use the lingo of the scene. Most people in the scene don't want totally anonymous, random sex all the time. They want a boyfriend/girlfriend-type person who is not sexually exclusive, but who does form a team, for lack of a better term. More on this later. As part of a team, each member has to put each other first. Guys want this an as a way of getting into parties and getting new girls by exchange with other couples. Girls want this for emotional reasons, and it's also a defense against predation (guys are less likely to try to coerce or heavily persuade girls with boyfriends).
Ms. Slav was also invited by a guy to a party, then invited me, then we had sex, then the other guy tried to say she was his date (she didn't think so), then he was like, "Don't interfere with my date!" and I was like "I have nothing to say to you, buddy," and we ended up leaving. Weird, as he is good-looking but turned out to be quite pathetic. I know him tangentially. Rich guy, a trust-funder maybe, although too old to have his vibe. I thought he wouldn't be so desperate, but he was... he must have no game (that is my most probable diagnosis). Maybe he is so good looking that he is not used to having girls say no. Strangely, very attractive people can take rejection worse than people who are used to rejection. He is better looking than me, to most chicks... not all, but most. Pretty-boy looks. He found Ms. Slav on Facebook then invited her to an event... which she invited me to... and once there I found out about the arrangement. Annoying. Even I feel some amount of possession and jealousy. Or, more likely, I want to see fair value exchanged for fair value. Ms. Slav bollixes up that equation by her sheer love of f**king.
Oh, and there is yet another guy she liked but who has pulled back from her for unknown reasons. He hasn't quite ghosted her, but I think he has de-prioritized her. He has a good setup... he probably doesn't need a primary relationship with Ms. Slav. She's surprised by that, I suspect.
Ms. Slav has now found that, when she meets new people and especially guys in the scene, they do one of two things: they try to "date" (monopolize) her, or they have sex with her for a while, then go find another random for sex. She wants someone in between and is not finding them, because finding someone who wants to let her go f**k like wild and let the guy pick up whatever sex he can is probably not going to happen. She is also a high IQ person, and the average person bores her (apart from sex). High IQ, but inexperienced. I have figured out a lot of stuff Ms. Slav hasn't yet figured out. She probably will, eventually, but I'm not like other guys she's met. No one else has tried to bring her into the sex-positive scene.
I have seen a few chicks in the scene get into a scenario like Ms. Slav's, where they are so sexually open that they cannot find a primary partner. Those chicks find all the casual sex they want but then are unhappy when the guys won't become the chick's primary partner and won't even take them to dinner. Seriously, I've heard this complaint a couple times over the years: "Guys want to hit me up for 9pm sex, but why can't we at least go out for dinner first?" Or, "I want to do other things than just have sex, then the guy leaves because he has to get up in the morning." There is no point in explaining evolutionary biology or fundamental value to these girls because those ideas will just offend women, even as they feel the effects of evolutionary biology and value at work in their lives and relationships.
Hearing Ms. Slav's story also clarifies to me why I do so well. I have the ability to meet and seduce new chicks, then bring them into parties: most guys can't or won't do that. My game is not as tight as some guys's game, but it is sufficient for me to have a "reputation" as the guy who brings in new chicks. The good-looking guy I mentioned before ought to have life on easy mode in this respect, but the bitch came right out of him when he didn't get the things he wanted. For me, if one chick falters, I find another one and don't complain about it. I don't want to claim I'm a total stoic. I'm not. I get annoyed, I get hurt, internally I get annoyed with badly behaved chicks. But it's also axiomatic that you can't beat the market. That is obvious in financial markets, where people who attempt to beat the market usually end up bankrupt. People who attempt to "beat" the dating market may get some lays they "shouldn't" have but tend to end up alone and disconnected.
There is always a shortage of young hot girls. Every straight many desires them. Many young hot girls do not fully appreciate their powers until the powers wane. There are also girls who, when young enough, are just a little bit heavier than I prefer, but they haven't yet stacked on the pounds that will make them unacceptable to me.
Some guys will no doubt say that I shouldn't have brought Ms. Slav into the community in the first place. But here's the thing: with her, it wouldn't have mattered. She is not going to be monogamous, no matter what. She has always had short-term relationships or cheated on her boy- or girlfriends. Some people virtually cannot be monogamous, and Ms. Slav is one of them... all I have done is given her an intellectual framework and community.
She doesn't prioritize me sufficiently, or to the extent I would like, which is an unusual position for me to be in. Typically, women say they feel I am too interested in sex with other women and not devoted enough to the primary relationship. Now I've found someone who is doing to me, what I have arguably done to others. I think I'm hurt, or showing some signs of inner turmoil, because I'm accustomed to being in the power position in the relationship. I'm accustomed to being the one who is too much for the woman to handle. Now I see some bad signs of the sort I am used to giving to others, but in Ms. Slav, doing them to me. I have begun to de-prioritize her, as she has, I think, been doing, somewhat, to me. It may be unconscious in her, as she is genuinely not like normal chicks, or even like normal people, and she has long been estranged from most of her natural community and affinity group(s).
Most guys find sexually indiscriminate women unattractive for anything more than extremely casual, no-strings sex. I am among those guys, despite what I have written here, because even within the non-monogamy community, most people still exercise careful discretion. Those who don't, have problems like Ms. Slav's (if they are female and attractive) and will be expelled from it (if they are male and do not bring value back into the community).
I can't remember if I said this, but I got her friend who is from her home country, and the friend is very hot, so that is very nice.
A chick like Ms. Slav is amazing for the sheer number of sexual opportunities she opens up, but I'm not sure that is what I'm seeking right now. Most couples in the scene form a team. If they are not a team and fundamentally devoted to one another, they fall apart. Yes, I know that most anger-phase Red Pill guys will say it's all the fault of the evil woman for defecting, but often it is the fault of the man for de-prioritizing the woman. To do this successfully demands a lot of social, emotional, and sexual intelligence, which most people just don't have.
Ms. Slav also gets attention wherever I bring her. I mentioned taking her to Thanksgiving. I have also brought her to yoga with me a couple times. There is a woman there, probably in her early 30s and okay, who has been flirting with me. This is unusual for me, as yoga classes and gyms have not been productive places for me and I rarely hit on women in those environments... I go back to the primary yoga studio and gym over and over again and do not wish to poison the waters. Anyway, I hadn't mentioned Ms. Slav to her... and now she's seen Ms. Slav... and she had a barrage of questions about Ms. Slav. I admitted to the woman at the yoga studio, "Ms. Slav is too young for anything serious, but I like her." Which is true, but appropriately vague. Women love vague, and that's why so few women become engineers. The yoga studio has surprisingly few hot chicks in it. Every yoga apparel company advertises with mid-20s hardbodies, but the reality has been somewhat different, in my experience. Yoga also doesn't make up for sugar intake.
I have been emphasizing that non-monogamy is hard, although it is hard in a different way than game itself.
I travel some for work and Ms. Slav is out at events, almost every weekend, and I know what that means. She has zoomed past me in terms of wanting to go to events. She wants to go to a lot of events, and now that she's well-known she gets invited to literally everything going on in my city.
I may shift away from Ms. Slav and towards choosing her for couple-to-couple dates. Her love of f**king and lack of filter makes her well-suited to that role. But those same qualities make her ill-suited to being a primary partner or girlfriend, as she is finding out.
