A day to day acount of the whacky and wonderful world of Muggaz - i tend to be having too much fun these days, and often cannot remember moments due to debauchery - its time the internet repayed my loyalty by recording my antics.

When one has a massive amount of respect for ones self, you really must consider the company you keep. This certainly holds true when choosing a partner - someone you can spend numerous hours with at any one time, and this may be my eventual downfall, and I may die a lonely old man - but I don't think so.

Unfortunately in society today their is the disposition that it is the females that do the choosing as far as relationships go. I don't prophesise to be a great psychologist, but this is how I see the situation, and I am no fool. I invite any contradictions, or any defence - but it is the girls that always have their little tests. Whether they are doing it sub-consciously or not, they are always testing the males around them for relationship worthiness, or just a good time worthiness. When a male has the capacity to spot these little tests and breeze through them, they will find social interaction with the ladies much easier.

I guess you could say I have been lucky enough to learn this through a little but of study and luck - and now I know how to react a lot better in certain situations than I ever did in my naive youth. Now I know exactly what I want in a girl, and I refuse to be qualified by them - if a chick doesn't like me or find me attractive, I can deal with that, they are obviously whack. What I really cant stand is dudes who don't get the message... If a girl doesn't like you, if you hang around and be her 'friend' it wont increase your chances of hooking up at a later date... it actually decreases them.

Let me just add I am talking about my social environment. I am talking about girls within my own age group - 18- 25. When they get older, they tend to realise how stupid they were in their youth, but I wont tell you about that - I request that one of my friendly female readers perhaps recalls such feelings and developments... hehe, goddamn I am arrogant!!! hehe...

The point I am arriving to is that ladies can continue to qualify men to see if they are acceptable, whatever, if that's what they have to do, then so be it - I just hope they realise they really cant learn anything major about a guy from their stupid little tests. I feel empowered though, I feel great, because now, its actually me qualifying the girls.

Recently, I have been blessed with a lot of interest from the finer of the species... and 18 months ago, I would have jumped on anything that presented itself - such was my desperation and insecurities left over from my last failed relationship, but now I have had time to think about it, and actually study a little bit on the psychology aspect of dealing with any woman.

I may be guilty of over analysing in any particular situation, but that is a liberty I am affording myself in the game called life - I know everything will always work out for the best eventually, and each situation needs to be judged on it's own merits, It just feel's good to be aboard the clue train.

This is all coming to light because now I must use the selection process... What is it in a girl that I think holds the most importance? Its called the rule of 33.recurring 3% There are 3 basic fundamentals I look for when it comes to females...

Out of 100% the genetic makeup of said female must have 3 general cornerstones - Personality, Intelligence and Looks. Ideally - each of these sectors would make up 33.recurring 3% of the genetic makeup in a girl. I have to ask these questions because one of the particular girls at the moment isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but I need to decide whether the looks and personality are strong enough to counter the lack of intelligence. Its the same with all the characteristics - of course there aren't many ladies out there with a perfect 1/3 makeup of these traits, so you have to compromise.

Some fools are stupid enough to go for a 90% looks, 5% intelligence and 5% personality - these people who go for these traits deserve each other - idiots attract idiots. at the other end of the spectrum, there are girls out there who are 50% personality, 40% intelligence and 10% looks, I also cant agree with this, because I believe sexual attraction is a fundamental of any relationship, and without, all you have is a strong friendship - which is great, but I am not talking about friendships am I?

I like to have a bit of time before I make my choices, and weigh up the pro's and cons - I guess I feel somewhat superior to females in that respect, because a guy can fudge up one of these little tests, and that is it for him. You know what the best thing is about growing up for me right now? I am over my crazy hormonal sex is everything phase, and I know that isn't the be all and end all in life... a far cry to my rampant testosterone charged youth!

In reality - there are a lot of guys out there who will never understand how the female brain works, and I most certainly don't claim that knowledge, but I know how to react to their little games now, and I also know how to get the most out of any relationship, I feel like I am in a very important stage in my life at the moment, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds, Life is all about choices, and I feel equipped to make the right ones as far as relationships are concerned.

BAM!!!

Finding a gal, a chic, a hoochie, a broad, a girly girl, a shorty, a sistah, a sweetheart, a better half sure ain't easy. Finding one that has a solid 1/3rd in each of the listed categories is bound to be even more challenging. Somehow I don't think you're going to have any trouble though... aren't you still holding yourself back due to the fact that you're going to be traveling abroad soon?

I couldn't help but apply the scale to my current girlfriend. I always prefer to rate stuff on a scale of one to ten, so I'm gonna sum it up like that... on a scale of one to ten, i'd give her personality a 9. Looks I'd give her an 8. intelligence probly an 8.5... I'm not sure what that translates to on your scale, but I do know that I have a helluva woman. I don't plan to let her go anytime soon...

(she's a redhead)...

Keep us posted on how the search is going...

I notice that you are careful not to reveal what little tests women give you that you can always pass. Looking back at my youth, I put myself through a lot of misery by not just waiting for the man I married. All the other guys were just full of themselves. I guess you have to kiss a lot of frogs to recognize a prince.

A friend of mine was in his thirties before he met the woman of his dreams. His test was to go on three dates. After the second date, he was hooked. It just takes time to find the one person who really makes you happy and whom likes you equally. Until then, you might have fun, but its not the same. At least that was my experience.

Sherye...

Every time a chick at a club tells me they have a boyfriend - Test.

Every time the crack a hissy fit - Test.

Every time they are late - Test.

Its how we respond to these little tests that make us a wussy or assertive! And chicks love Assertive

MJ - sound like you certainly have a keeper there!!!!

BAM!!!

Hmmm....

Where to start? Personally, I don't know how many 'tests' I consciously put men through, anymore. Their actions tend to speak for themselves. Out of experience and in view of your 33 selection process, I wonder how differently you would consider scoring if you were older. I am very much for physical attractiveness; I'd be crazy to admit otherwise. But I also think that it is subjective, the longer you know someone, the less it seems to matter and at the same time, the more you find things about that person that are physically appealing. Personality is definitely a no-brainer though. I can't see how you can spend time with someone without it. Looks and intelligence only take you so far. If you didn't have good chemistry with someone you might as well just buy a cute looking blow-up doll and an good dictionary. For me though, intelligence is definitely nothing to overlook either. I've gone out with a man who was cute and personable, but wasn't all that bright... it was pretty hard to try to turn a blind eye to the fact that there wasn't much going on upstairs.

Your lists of testing seems pretty... light. I think that, when I bothered with them, they were much more intricate. And I agree: assertive=all good. But even better? Gentlemanly manners. Show me some 'old-fashioned' politeness and... well, I'd be really appreciative.

muggaz, sweet pea, when my hubby & i were engaged, (ie: when he was still trying to "impress" me) we were rather, ahem, amorous, in public.

my dad (in a rare fit of paternal-itis, and to my unending shame), felt compelled for some reason to have a "blah" at my then-fiance about how important it was that he "remember to continue to pay attention to his wifes' quick mind and compassionate nature". (aka "at least talk to my daughter over dinner before you try to shag her on the table, sonny").

my fiance was being all "blokey" and joking (in that nauseating way men do when they have to be nice to a girls' dad), so he replied: "of course i will pay attention to her mind, mate, ... but i would never had found out she even had a mind if she'd been hideous in the first place".

and my dad laughed !. he howled. the dick. i was outraged. my hubby insists to this day that he was "only being silly" but grrrrr ... i was in a snit for like, years over that one. hehe.

by the way, muggaz, compadre, thankyou for making me recall this horrid experience. hehe. remind me to lock you in "the BB" one day under the ahem, influence ... to return the favour. mig XX.

HAhahahaha...

Thanks Mig... that was a great story!!!! It is ever so true though...

Ok, I don't mean to blow your tests out of the water (oh wait, yea I do)

Could it be that:
1. When a girl tells you they have a boyfriend, they actually do.
2. ok, I've got no time for drama queens so I'll give you this one, grudgingly!
3. Not everyone is punctual--I swear, it's not a test--and guys are just as guilty on this one.

Also, what if someone's personality, looks and intelligence were all equal (thus, subscribing to your 33.3% theory) but all three left something to be desired...like fugly, dumber than dirt, and duller than watching paint dry--still a catch?

Also, doesn't it go both ways? How many times have I heard someone say that the girls you date in college aren't the girls you'd ever marry?

Ninja code name Shades...

It is lovely ladies like yourself and Mignuna that keep me coming back to JU - I get a free lesson in the insight of the female mind!!! All developing myself to become the ultimate number one stud in the whole world! hehehe...

These are my stories, and these are the day's of our lives...

the 33.3%... well, now you have completely confused me, and I must acknowledge this little theory is a little flawed... personally though, as far as personality and intelligence goes, I would say you are going of the chart!

BAM!!!

I feel empowered though, I feel great, because now, its actually me qualifying the girls.


This whole paragraph is one big contradiction.....you're down on women for qualifying men (should we just accept ANY guy that comes along and be grateful?), and yet go on to state that you're qualifying girls! Everyone we meet, whether it be as part of our personal life, in our career, or whatever, gets "qualified" in one way or another....it's just a fact of life....some personalities mesh and some clash....and we all have , or SHOULD have, some idea of what we're looking for in another person when it comes to our relationships, particularly romantic ones.

Out of 100% the genetic makeup of said female must have 3 general cornerstones - Personality, Intelligence and Looks. Ideally - each of these sectors would make up 33.recurring 3% of the genetic makeup in a girl.


So if she's equally boring, stupid and ugly, then she's still in? Kudos to you for not discriminating, as long as all three factors are equal!



In reality - there are a lot of guys out there who will never understand how the female brain works, and I most certainly don't claim that knowledge, but I know how to react to their little games now,


Not all women play "games," and if you are looking at all of them as if they do, you could wind up messing up a potentially wonderful relationship. IMO, you should go into each new relationship with an open mind, treating her as an individual, not just as another female who is going to behave in the ways you have preconceived.

Every time a chick at a club tells me they have a boyfriend - Test.

Every time the crack a hissy fit - Test.

Every time they are late - Test.


Maybe she really DOES have a boyfriend and isn't interested. Hissy fits usually come from women who thrive on drama....doesn't mean she's testing you, it's just how she is--or maybe she's just had a bad day. You know, come to think of it, I'd like to know just what you consider a "hissy fit". And as for being late, I know people who simply are never on time, period. I have relatives whom I have to tell to meet me 15 minutes to half an hour before I am actually planning on doing something, to get them there at the right time...it's not a test in our relationship, it's a personality trait that I've had to learn to accommodate over the years.

Best of luck though, and keep us posted on how things work out for you!

aww Muggaz, I don't know whether to shake my head or laugh.

You forgot compassion and a sense of humour .... i find these more important than looks

Everyone will lose their looks one day and I want someone who can joke about grabbing me and having me wobble like jelly when that day comes

Yo Poet...

Thanks for the pink writing, it adds a nice effect on Muggazzzz adventures

Look, I know what you are saying is true... this article was a mere push for the female response... as I have said, JU is merely a 'chick psychological university' for me and I really appreciate your input!

These articles are opinion pieces, and opinions are always subject to change. Opinions are formulated through experience though, and in my experience, whether the chick is classy or not, they respond particularly eagerly to 'games' - deny that all you want, but it's my current truth, and there is no way you could possibly take it from me.

I may have contradicted myself in the quoted paragraph - I admit that, but I dont judge as quickly as *most* females in my market. I have simply learnt and adapted the best way to get a chick interested in you - simply play the 'game'

Dont hate the player, hate the game

BAM!!!

and I must acknowledge this little theory is a little flawed


Wow, that could be a joeuser first, someone acknowledging they weren't 100% accurate...impressive!

I hadn't thought of it, but I have to agree with gothic impulse--a sense of humor and compassion are required, but maybe these fall under personality?

Oh, and I thought of the best "guy game" of them all--remember that little mantra "treat em mean, keep em keen"? Yea, that far exceedes any female games!

I don't hate you...I just think you have a lot to learn....

Exactamundo... humor is paramount with me! As i thought you could have guessed

I don't hate you...I just think you have a lot to learn


Yes, and I learn willingly!

BAM!!!

I could've guessed, I simply chose not too

A willing learner, eh?
