Slept with a twenty-year-old last night:
I slept with a twenty-year-old last night, and the amount of "game" required was minimal. She was a friend/roommate of an intern (more or less) I've kept in touch with, and I met the friend about a year ago while out for drinks. She has a nose ring and is sort of artistic seeming; at the time we first met I mixed some light sex talk and innuendos into the conversation, but logistics were against me and more importantly I didn't want to vigorously hit on a girl who is connected to work, however tangentially. The attraction was there, however, primarily through eye contact. If you haven't yet discovered the virtues of very strong eye contact, you should. And if you know of any game guides to eye contact, please post them, because I don't have any at my fingertips.
It's hard to describe the game when the game is mostly sub-verbal, as this one is. I was affecting something like smooth-older-Don-Draper guy, which seemed appropriate to the situation and age gap. Last year we exchanged contact info and we've chatted just a bit here and there. Less is more in the long game, as you are a busy man, right? I thought about whether I should sexualize those conversations but decided not to. She is in town for the summer, and like a lot of young girls she's very flighty (girls < 22 cannot be consistent moment to moment). She also has a bunch of minor health problems. I wasn't sure we'd actually meet up, but last night she came out, three drinks at two bars, then to a hotel for sex, which is I think a new experience for her. No LMR, however, and she felt fantastic.
It also seems that no younger women enforce condom usage rules anymore. Bike Girl had a good body but this girl was spectacular naked, much more so than I expected. No chest at all, but everything else about her worked beautifully for me. I have a great pic of her looking over her shoulder at me; she's obviously topless in the pic but it is more artistic than the pornographic style that usually appeals to me. When I first got into photography I just wanted typical guy stuff, with her naked and showing it all, but I've learned that one or two good, girl-friendly pics can make the girl much more into you. If she's not spreading herself, it's art, right? Seems to be the girl thinking.
In this 12 April post I was mopey about women and game, but when a solid seven, maybe low eight, much younger woman comes along, it is easy to get excited again. This one also has a relatively straightforward expiration date, assuming it goes further. I'm not sure it will, as she's a girl who only has "guy friends" (red flag) and who is very sexual. She seems to have an unusually lengthy relationship history for a girl of her age. This weekend one of those "guy friends" is in town to celebrate something to do with school. I wasn't quite invited along and wasn't quite not invited along, which is fine because I don't think it's a good game move to get enmeshed with a dozen flighty college students. Optics are all wrong and I'd rather imply I have Friday / Saturday plans already.
Interestingly, last night she said that guys her age don't really hit on her (I don't believe it, but she said it). She is also a pretend model of some sort. Her n-count is pretty high for her age, I think. She started to ask me how many women I've been with, then stopped and said she didn't want the question turned back on her. I said that I never ask, which is true, and things moved on.
She slept with her brother's dirtbag 20-year-old friend when she was 15. I'm by far the oldest guy she's slept with, and her guess as to my age was way low. I knocked a few years off my true age. Unfortunately I was not the best, sexually speaking, as some combination of alcohol and first-time nerves inhibited performance, but I did some cunnilingus things she seems to have enjoyed and not to have experienced before. I think I was "good enough," but not as good as I need to be.
In other game news, a friend from the sex club circuit hooked me up with her early 30s friend who recently got out of a long-term relationship and was looking for fun over the course of a long-weekend. Saw the picture in advance and we had some pretty easy fun. I attempted a threesome with her and Bike Girl, who has relapsed a bit, but it turns out this woman is not as experimental as she implied or I would hope. She says she doesn't like sex clubs or BDSM but that she likes listening to her friend's stories.
I'm not actively seeking new leads, but a lot of older efforts keep paying dividends. Just being flirtatious and temperately aggressive when I see an opening has gone well. I've internalized a lot of the behaviors to the point that they've become, if not an automatic reflex, then at least heavily ingrained.
I also went to a friend's wedding recently and attempted to play the two attractive, single women off each other in order to sleep with at least one but utterly failed. It's been a while since I've done any online dating and thinking about my life in the last year or two I see much of the problem with online dating: people with a lot going on who can calibrate socially often find enough opportunities offline that they don't need to go online.
The chick from this story says she does a lot of online dating and that makes sense to me because she's hot but also kinda fucked up and dead behind the eyes. I'm not totally knocking online dating and unless I die within the year I will likely do it again at some point. I have though been thinking about the selection bias effects that affect the pool there.
