Aim low, score high

Pseudoscience of Love - aim low, score highGuys, in particular, like to boast about their conquests. Some like rubbing the noses of their less successful brethren in it. Men being competitive beasts, this increases their sense of masculine superiority and of course, their ego. The standard defence to this boast is the "aim low, score high" accusation!

As the graph above shows, the lower you set your sights while out in the pub/club, the more success you will have. This is a natural consequence of most people knowing what "league" they are in. If you fish in a league below your own, that is to say:

Ly>Lw

where Ly=your league, Lw=the women's league

then you should be able to reap the rewards.

This allows the less successful chap to claim that if he too stooped as low as his successful mate, then his success rate would be as high. This defence can work even if it is not strictly true!

I am presuming that when nice guys refer to 'aiming high' they mean the highest level of personality irrespective of looks or body shape? Right?

I hadn't made any distinction between nice guys and err, non-nice guys in this post.

But now that you mention it, I believe that in the pub/club environment that this post pertains to, the more aesthetic properties of females are more important!

Thanks for the clarification! It seems that nice guys have a lot in common with non-nice guys, they aren't really interested in personality (especially if they are in the company of an XXL) and thus debunks the notion that they are truely nice guy (i.e. those that look for inner beauty) I put it to you that they are non-nice guys in reality but havent got the spine to act on it!

I never said a "Nice guy" liked aesthetically/gravationally challenged women!

I quote from an earlier post:

"A small minority of (non-blind!) guys do go for personality before any physical features. Unfortunately, these noble guys are few and far between."

So therefore you are not noble, you want what all non-nice guys want but havent what it takes to go for it!

I wasn't referring to nice guys there, although "noble guys" are probably a sub-set of the nice guy group!

I never claimed to be one of these noble guys. Hell, I like a babe as much as the next guy!

I have already said in my main post on pub/club dating that nice guys generally lack the necessary bottle in those environments.
