It really is true and that is part of the reason that it would almost become impossible to impress a good looking woman over 30 and why I largely stopped dealing with them.

Also let's say a guy that looks like he is well positioned was talking to a chick. Like they didn't even hang out or ever meet in real life in some scenarios. That is suddenly her new level that she expects these other guys to be at when in reality she was 20 levels removed from even having a relationship with that guy.

They will often talk themselves out of guys that had something going by suddenly trying to qualify and qualify and requalify him when she isn't really close to being on his level so dude just moves on.

But yeah all the posting off these blow out Valentines experiences have all the women saying, "Why don't I get that???"

Then for a lot of guys it is best to sort of avoid trying to be in a relationship during "cuffing season" Thanksgiving - Valentines Day because the expense and headache of it. Then we see the same thing every year. Most those chicks ditch a lot of those guys after that stretch and prepare to advertise themselves to other men all summer.
