Game theory - dating

**Core Shot** · 03-30-2019, 08:20 PM

Anyone playing?
I’m out of the market, but the shit I stumble into on the webs cracks me up.

Do you use it and does it work?

The number one rule of dating--don't play games.

This.

Core Shot you're about 20 years late to the game theory dating scheme. I mean they made a movie about it decades ago.

Be desireless. Be excellent. Be gone.

It's not revelatory.

Did you say solipsistic?

Yup - three step process
1. Eliminate desire - women can smell an agenda from a mile away
2. Do something excellent in their presence
3. Retreat; they will pursue

Although the whole premise of the movie was, in the end, do not play games

Carbon Dating on this Game theory? Or Dating and involving Game theory.

"As with any concept in economics, there is the assumption of rationality. There is also an assumption of maximization. It is assumed that players within the game are rational and will strive to maximize their payoffs in the game."

Dating can't fit into that assumption of maximization at all.

As RShea points out, that isn't Game Theory. But whatever.

Had an idea for a variation on The Bachelor. Full disclosure, I've never watched an episode.. But it might be interesting for instead of and old guy with older chicks they did a fat but rich person.. The FATchelor?

Or have all the contestants fat with messed up teeth going after a total prize?

I got assigned a random roommate freshman year in college and the kid was a total jabroni. He was obsessed with this book called ‘The Game’. I never read it, but it apparently promoted talking loads of shit to girls and wearing ridiculous outfits.

Needless to say, he did not get laid.

**Timberridge** · 09-11-2023, 08:56 AM

Was he French?

Jabroni tends to be eye talian
Found mostly in queens or on the island. And sometimes on the Jersey shore.

Obviously not because he didn't get laid.

**CarlMega** · 09-11-2023, 12:51 PM

what is game theory supposed to do in terms of dating? More dates? More laidedness? Better looking dates? Spend less, more cushion? Find soul mate with less effort?

One of my college roommates pulled this move a few times:

He would go home with a girl, before any coitus occurred he would kindly but abruptly leave… ideally one of the girls roommates would see him leave the house…

As the girl’s friends gossiped about this interaction he would almost have an aura of mystery… which in turn lead to future hookups with the friends and roommates of the original girl.

Drive a nice car and play in a working band... or on the school team.. Playing in a band allows more free time for partying though..

Game theory, interesting. I bet the numbers worsen as you age. There is a reason people are single etc. and people will risk marriage for kids, women have to when they are young. Also why so many divorces.
