I went out for Hallowe'en last night, and started the evening out alone. Physically, at best, I'm a 6 right now, and financially I'm just getting by.
Because of my style, presence, and social skill, I was getting women who were 6s or 7s and averaged 35+ years old (I'm 47) coming up to me and starting conversations.
A couple hours later my female friend (27 years old), who is a solid 9 arrived. After this, I started getting attention from women in their early to 20s and up who were 7s and 8s.
Finally we bumped in to a few of her friends (8s and 9s) and I started getting looked over by most of the women in the room down to 19 years old and the 9s started approaching me as well.
I didn't have to approach one woman all night. Sure, I got some interest alone, but it only got better with the female friends.
