Nice, Chief.
I wasn't sure how to formulate it, but it seemed to be related with what I call perceived value.
Which of course is just another bs title for how my standards have begun to climb, in tact with my self-esteem, attractiveness and confidence it seems.
It still sucks to tell a girl who loves me that I don't find her attracted to me anymore.
but, C'est la Vie, eh ?
Jay, I've had the epiphany that physical beauty is not all, and I'm not the type for thinking in "leagues", or talking about it for that matter, but it seemed the only suiting metaphor for it.
This case I was thinking about is one that has evolved beyond friendship and now I've sorta evolved beyond finding her that attractive anymore...

You see the predicament.
But, hey,
Thanks for advice, though.
I'll do myself a favor and make a thorough list of qualities I want my woman to have, and do the whole job-interview thing....

well, partly.
"You don't like Jazz?, ok, nice to meet you, there's a pretty woman behind you who probably does, Bye."
Btw, Chief, the ideas of shedding the social conditioning is one of the things I've noticed myself doing the most the last 2 years.
Breaking the norm and becoming more self-conscious, about who and what I want to be, instead of conforming to some unwritten "rules" about how one is supposed to find "happiness" with money and other bullshit ideas, that only lead to a wild goose chase to find the material possessions that "will give you happiness".
No such thing as material wealth that brings happiness.
Cheers.
