There are many factors when it comes to dating, attracting the opposite sex and the finding a romantic partner. Everyone is obviously different, but there are a few aspects of a person that are either one or the other. I have a theory that I have been kicking around recently about the effect men have on women based on two factors: Availability and Desirability.
Availability is based on ones personal relationship status. For the hair-splitters, there are alot of different gray area definitions that you can quoin: single, dating, just friends, engaged, married, separated and so on… You can even be single, but still Taken (married to your work, single but unwilling to date). Ultimately, romantically you are either taken or available.
Desirability is based on whether you are appealing to the opposite sex. Everyone thinks of them selves as hot and having a certain amount of self-esteem. Are you hot or not? Again for you hair-splitters, this can be graded on a graduating scale. For this discussion, we are saying you are either Desirable or Unappealing.
With these two factors, that gives us a four quadrant break down: Available & Desirable (AD), Available & Unappealing (AU), Taken & Desirable (TD), or Taken & Unappealing (TU). Here is the break down for Men for these four categorizations:
Available & Desirable (AD):
Examples –Runway models (straight ones), “Nice Guys”, Cast members of MTV’s The Hills, recent college graduates, Hot available guys in the park walking his dog….
Description – This is the cream of the crop for most women. Not only is he really cute to you, but he is also available. He is not overly committed to his job, family or what have you and he is looking for love. This is probably the rarest of all the categories.
Who they attract and why – Confident women that know what they want and aren’t afraid to make a move on what they want. Insanely hot women go guys like this because they can play the romance game at the same level.
How to approach him – Walk up and introduce your self to Mr. Available & Desirable. Your best bet is to start up a conversation with him and see what happens. He’s probably just waiting to meet the right woman. Don’t forget to close the deal by exchanging phone numbers. Be careful, he may be selective with the women he dates.
Taken & Desirable (TD):
Examples – married men, stockbrokers, college professors, astronauts
Description – This is guy is usually a really great guy that would make anyone woman happy. Unfortunately he probably is already making one woman happy. He is smart, hot and funny, but you can’t have him. He is romantically unavailable.
Who they attract and why – These men attract women that crave power. They think he is the cat’s meow and with some work, this man can he hers.
How to approach him – This is the most delicate situation to move in on. Women need to subtly win this man’s attention if they want to be number one in his life. Casual flirting combined with playing hard-to-get will potentially win him over Mr. Taken & Desirable.
Available & Unappealing (AU):
Examples – Used-car Salesman, Last call at the bar guy, Bikers, Construction workers
Description – This is typically the used-car salesman type. They think every woman is a potential mate. They are often trying to hard. They are like a hunter using a bullhorn to attract deer “Here deer… come get shot”. These guys don’t typically bring home many trophies.
Who they attract and why – Surprisingly, these type of men do actually attract a certain type of woman. Typically they attach the unappealing cougar types. Sometime Mr. Available & Unappealing will attracted a drunken woman without her wing-women (but this usually ends badly).
How to approach him – Any approach will work as long as you don’t come across as an undercover cop trying to bust Johns (but even that might work).
Taken & Unappealing (TU):
Examples – Engineers, Computer Scientist, Married with Children, Shoe Salesman, Nuclear Safety Inspector.
Description –Mr. Taken & Unappealing may not be the first target for most women, but there are some diamonds in the rough in this group. Most women avoid this group like the plague (wives of Mr. Taken & Unappealing are the exception).
Who they attract and why – Surprisingly, quiet a few women end up attracted to this group of men. Often women that are tired of dealing with stuck-up pretty-boy types will seek out someone that doesn’t know how valuable they are. Single engineers are a prime example.
How to approach him – This is not for the faint of heart. It will take an extraordinary amount of patience and effort to win this man’s heart. He doesn’t expect anyone to notice him in that way and he is probably avoiding the possibility of it…
