Nay! And also, what are us guys going to do, stay single until 35 in the forlorn hope that we can marry some model, and then go scrap-hunting after 35? <BR/><BR/>However, I did myself just say in an e-mail "And the great danger of "Honeyball" strategies is that you look for people less skilled than yourself with low self-esteem; it becomes more predatory rather than just an effort to find a mate." So yes, if you just use Honeyball like that, it's terrible. It's just one theory; no need for people to wed themselves to it.MCBiashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08158534411541450613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31807670.post-28874350335054038352007-11-29T09:50:02.299-06:002007-11-29T09:50:02.299-06:00Let me see if I've got this right - essentially you just wrote an entire post on how you can't get/won't go for the top tier talent, but how that's okay since you still feel like a winner when you lower your standards. That about it? Nice work McB, as always.Redheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03763007541819974123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31807670.post-55345594493736186692007-11-28T13:38:59.766-06:002007-11-28T13:38:59.766-06:00jon pyle, sure, I'll hear it.

I really do. However, I cannot endorse your so-called "Honeyball". <BR/><BR/>Why? It's going to get you as far as the A's have gotten in the playoffs... League Championships at best (good relationship, but fizzles out after 1 year+). If you want to win the World Series (find the ideal mate and get married), Honeyball will not work. I've got myself a little theory about it that I used with friends in college. I'd be happy to share it with you sometime.Jon Pylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06583636561398467333noreply@blogger.com
