I know what you're getting at. But women have always thrown themselves at low status guys. It's not a recent phenomenon. Like so much with women, it does not make logical sense; however, it may make biological sense as a way to keep the gene pool diverse. Or, as one woman put it: a bad ass makes a girl's heart beat faster.
In the 19th century, prostitution was far more prevalent. The big Eastern US cities had lots and lots of bordellos.
This isn't that complicated. When I first started asking girls to take walks aka make out sessions. Before those days. Girls would ask me a couple if I wanted to be their boyfriend. Girls do mature quicker than boys. Even after I started dfking girls. The girls in high school would want to be walked to class, hugged before or after class. Some were interested in dating. I paid very few girls mind.
All girls and then later Women want attention. Some want it from all Men. Some want it from only a select type of Man.
Girls especially pay attention to Men who seem to not care. I'm sure he can't not care and she not find him attractive but if he doesn't care and she thinks he's attractive and interesting sometimes just attractive that intrigues them. Women and girls when they were younger know which guys do well with Women or have options.
When I was 31 when I first started this hobby for real. I started to date this girl. She was 32 she asked if she could pay half every time we went out to eat. I agreed im sure she wanted me to be like noooooo. However I didn't I was like fine. At the time I has a cash setback and she offered to loan me $500. I went on 2 or 3 dates with her. I didn't pay her back right away she was so happy I eventually paid her back after her complaining about it lol.
She then twp years later reached out to me after I hung up on her and never called her back. She said some shit I didn't want to hear. We hung out told her "I know you feel that connection we have" Women love to hear shit like that. So she said she can't get involved with me again. Couple days later she's calling me to celebrate her birthday. Said some guy took her to the movies and dinner but she was bored. I'm fucking the shit out of her and her date warmed her up for me.
Had another girl before this who I picked up after matching on a dating site same around the same age. She cancelled on me. Next time we met up. Told her I only got half for hotel. I smoked trees in front of her she wanted some never gave her any. She paid half and I was piping her out she was loving it. Had another 1 or 2 married Women complain about their husband's.
The point is if you don't make it seem like they are vastly more important than you and you act like you don't care and you have options. Some girls and Women eat that shit up.
Not all but enough Women do.
