First off, I know the title of this thread is strange, but it's the best way I can sum up what I'm getting at.

Anyway, it's always seemed to me that women, especially younger ones (late teens/early twenties) are attracted to guys who lead fast-paced, exciting lifestyles. It's a lifestyle I'd like to lead. The problem is, I only have the foggiest idea of what that lifestyle looks like and I have no idea how to achieve it. I'm usually busy (my days are packed with either work or school) but whenever I have free time, I am more than willing to sacrifice a few days/nights of my work and school schedule.

So I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how can I develop my own "life in the fastlane"? Not only that, but how do I let other people who normally wouldn't know me know that I lead such a lifestyle so as to draw them to me?

Try to remember back when you were all 18 to 21 year old girls again. If you heard about how some guy spent his weekend, what would make you say, "wow, he sounds really cool. I want to hang out with that guy"?

>>>Just lurking around here and have found this thread very amusing. Gotta love the honesty this kid has, but man, the immaturity. I know it was all meant sincerely, but as a hot, formerly 21 year old ;), I wouldn't have touched this guy with a ten-foot pole and the desperation just screams out. Sounds more like a horny 14 year old. And even my 14 year old BF was hot and confident, oh and also willing to TALK to me after sex, and take me out because he realized women were worthy of more than just sex and HE liked it that way. Anyway...I just shook my head through this thread...and laughed.<<<

You say I'm immature, but I think I am MORE mature than most people out there. I think I am MORE mature in that I'm willing to admit that I am not ready for a serious relationship and have no desire for one. I think I am MORE mature to understand that just because you have sex with someone or feel sexual attraction for them doesn't mean you love them. I think I am MORE mature to understand that this stigma around sex is nothing more than a baseless and idiotic social construct.

Am I any less mature than all these kids who fall inlove with the first and only person they had sex with and married them right out of highschool? Because that actually happened a couple of times at my highschool.

And I refuse to take therapy. I am not crazy and I think my frustrations are just and rational.

Eitherway, I'm done with this particular thread. To those who are trully concerned and gave real concrete and tangible advice, thank you.
