Short Dancer vignette
I was thinking about Short Dancer, a girl I saw on and off for like six or nine months, a few years back... on and off, because at the time I wanted her to come to the fleshpots with me and she would not, despite my persuasion work. I wish I'd been monogamous with her for a while, or "monogamous" in my case, as I think I liked f**king her better than just about any chick between now and then. If I had done that, though, this blog wouldn't have the stories it does... even fewer people would read it than read it now. Despite the numbers and the experiences and the groups that I've done between her and today, I liked Short Dancer a lot, enough that I think I made the wrong decision with her, partially because I had a lot going on at the time, and, when I have a lot going on, it's naturally harder to commit, even temporarily. Sometimes one great chick can be better than 10 okay or good ones... that's why I think a lot of guys in the game quit it or take long breaks from it, when they find a girl they're really into, who reciprocates the interest. When you have enough good, but not extraordinary, experiences with chicks, the best chicks become the reason you continue.
Short Dancer was young and in some ways has a conservative temperament... that may surprise you, since she was with me for a time... though in other ways, ways important to me, she does not, and the tension between those two was an interesting part of her personality. I kept trying to get her into a sex shop with me, for example, and she would not go... one time I picked her up in a fireman's carry and made to bring her in, but her objections seemed to be genuine, so I put her down and we continued on our way. Apart from fleshpots, she accepted many of the things I wanted, and the sex with her was just about flawless... her beauty, her willingness, her submissiveness, her femininity... we had a great dynamic, better in some ways than w/ other chicks since then (which is why I feel like I made an error in letting her pass, to go chase other chicks who are often very good but not quite on the level of the thing we had).
Short Dancer came from an ecosystem, so there's no game story around her, apart from me cultivating masculinity and making a move when the time was right. So few guys cultivate masculinity today. There's also not a great story about why I like her more than other chicks... I just do. Good physical chemistry went a long way with her, plus, she also didn't throw much in the way of shit tests and didn't have the hot-young-chick disposition around relentlessly tooling guys, going to clubs/parties, etc. The chicks who like basic clubs, attention on social media, that kind of thing, I tend not to get along with them, even when I rope them in, and that could be part of the reason I found the Tinder experiment so awful.
Short Dancer is one of those girls who look even better nude than clothed... I wasn't 100% sure what I was going to get when I undressed her the first time, but I got everything I might have wanted. She liked posing nude for me, and I like that... she showed some of the shots to a girl we mutually knew, and the other girl was like, "Wow." Couldn't believe it, even though the other girl is a too-heavy tramp, or maybe just an attention whore... hard to say. She was too basic for me. Short Dancer also really liked taking direction, even more than most chicks, which I also like.
No real lesson here, just some musing. When Short Dancer was in my life I felt pretty good. The age gap is too large for her to be a good long-term prospect. She is one of the very few girls I find occupying my head space... I jerk my attention away from her, but if I'm not careful it drifts back to her, in a way that it doesn't drift back to most other chicks. At the time I don't think I appreciated her, and I was still excited to go chase new chicks... something that I find myself less excited by right now.
In private someone asked if I've tried to get her back in... and I have! Unsuccessfully. She also had, maybe has, an official boyfriend, and both of us have complicated schedules, plus, now there is a distance challenge. We all make mistakes, and letting her go was one of mine... not one that I really consciously made at the time... I let her drift, and she sensed that I wasn't going to do the monogamy she wanted. Red Pill doctrine incorrectly holds that chicks who you are "aloof" from are going to pine for you and keep coming after you forever... that is true of some chicks, but more functional, intelligent, and self-aware chicks who want a boyfriend/partner and do not get it from you, are going to cut you out and get it from someone else. They may boomerang back periodically based on what they're finding, and based on guys who won't make them their girlfriends, but when they find an acceptable guy who will commit, they will depart, and they may simply never talk to you again.
I miss Short Dancer... not something you hear on a lot of player blogs. Do most guys not miss particular chicks, or are they not willing to admit it? Genuinely don't know the answer here. The best psychology is always oriented towards the future, so maybe guys wisely don't dwell on the past. Yet many players online seem intent on maintaining a hard-ass facade.
