Ricardo's DMSI 3.1 Journal (nonsense free)

[Shannon]

I have an issue with that bit about the long range target being also the most 'reproductive'. My long range target is in her 40's now and although she is probably the most desirable woman I can think of that I've met, I doubt she would be as fertile as she was 10 years ago when I first encountered her. Some people like me would also not be interested or desirous of having children anyway. The only other possibility would be the geeky secretary I used to know when I worked in the City, she's a lot younger but not quite got the 'phroah' factor of the older one, although doubtless more fertile. My preference would also be for the older one anyway. My question is, which one would the sniper snipe?

The person who the LRS will point itself at is the person who is the most sexually and reproductively attractive you have ever met. That's not saying she is going to have to be fertile NOW... or that you have to reproduce her. But reproductively attractive is what triggers the most primal attraction responses, and that's what we are going for. These are the people you just can't forget or ignore.

The sniper will snipe whomever fits the goal phrasing best. Even if it's someone you don't even consciously remember meeting.
