Quote:One more thing Shannon: You mentioned that not going for a girl because "she's not attractive enough" is a fear-based cop-out.
I agree that it can be but what about when it's not?
To be clear, I thought that it sounded that way under the circumstances that were given. It won't always be, but it is a convenient cop-out to label a girl as "not attractive enough" and then you have an excuse for not going after her or dealing with the anxiety.
Quote:I'm afraid SM will override what I think is attractive and just make me go for unattractive girls because that's where I'm at in life.
In every one of over 300 statements, all references to females specify "physically beautiful", unless they are talking about women you should reject: underage girls, women attempting to trick you into pregnancy, women with STDs, and women who are trying to manipulate you using sex. I have you covered.
Quote:I know that's irrational, but how does the program decide what girls you end up attracting?
It doesn't. You do. It specifies "physically beautiful females", and "at least of the legal age of sexual consent", and you take it from there.
Quote:For example, let's say I wrote down a list of what I find attractive in a girl, and maybe included some pictures as a reference point. Would I find that who I ended up with were in line with that or would they be different?
That depends on how you interpret the above instructions. I would imagine it would be quite possible that you don't know all the possible "looks" you could find attractive. I was certainly surprised by what resulted a few times for me, but I found them attractive even though I'd have never guessed at women with those features being attractive because I was so focused on one specific type. You'll end up with females you find attractive.
Quote:To be honest, I'd rather be with no girl than an unattractive one, and by how powerful SM sounds, I don't want to be led into a girl I'll later regret sleeping with just because I was horny and influenced by SM, you know?
Which is why I went to the trouble to make sure every statement of attraction specified "physically beautiful". But what that means depends on what you find attractive.
