I was thinking about a HB8.5 or so who I had eating from my hand at one point. I played her perfectly - teased, negged, caveman'd. It was great. Even when she would try to "end it" I would just agree and say "let's be friends then."
My downfall was when she started talking threesomes with us and her female friend. Suddenly I didn't want to lose that piece of a$$. Turned into a holy grail. Of course, I blew it, AFC-style. To this day I think the threesome talk was mostly testing me, though if I played right it may have happened anyway. Live and learn.
Wait.... what's wrong w/ a 3-some???
I'd rate my fiance as a HB8... she's a model, figure competitor who's currently shooting a TV series on a game reserve in Africa.
I initially had no idea why she was attracted to me... when we first met I was stripping, doing quite a few shows, did my fair share of drugs, and prior to going exclusive with her, I was also promiscuous. Meanwhile she was the classic small town "good girl"... In retrospect I guess she was drawn to the challenge of dealing w/ my shiite, but I have no idea. Its not even like I had a lot of money: I was a fulltime student, stripping part-time to pay the bills...I drove a 1995 Neon and lived in shared accommodations in a small apartment.
I guess I had the social proof thing working as I got a fair bit of attention at shows and even on the street. Overall, I guess I was just very confident... I've made her cry lots in the past, had several bad fights but she still stuck by me, again not sure why. I think to attract and keep an HB8 you need a good core of traits: good body/looks, great confidence, fun/outgoing personality, intelligence, and at least some type of career. Beyond that there's always the x-factor of sexual chemistry...
To the poster who said that you can't be jealous/insecure to date HB8's and up, I couldn't agree more. My fiance gets hit on all the time. I'm not a jealous person by nature so it really doesn't bother me. I think its flattering when your girl gets hit on lots... in the end its about how SHE acts towards the attention and conducts herself. You can't MAKE HB's like you, but you can make yourself more attractive to her...
