Okay, I've been thinking about this. I broke up with my GF about 2 wks ago. When I was still together and we were at a bar, girls were giving me IOI's all over the place, but naturally you can't act on this.

Now do you think girls are more interested in guys with GF's (social proof, display of high value: she was good looking,...), or consider them as 'taken' an thus see the GF as an inevitable 'pussyblock'?

I've always thought that having a GF changed your own attitude as well. You're not looking for anyone, so you're naturally cool and anything but needy. Chicks feel these vibes, no doubt.

So what do you think? And specifically in my case, having had a goodlooking GF (people at the clubs know because we used to go out together with our friends every weekend), is that a proof of high value?

of course is high value, and girls will get interested in you, well, its a complex thing, but at an end of a relationship you'll probably have a lot of girls waiting in line just for you to contact and set something

Indeed it is a very complex and depth thing but at the end of the day, Yes it is High Value. Have you ever heard people say, When i've got a girlfriend and i'm not looking for anyone, girls are everywhere, interest is everywhere and offers are everywhere. However when your single and your looking, you get nothing.

yup.. this is one of the common things that men and women have.. what both genders are attracted to.. and interested into.. availability.. if they know that they can have you anytime.. (no challenge) what would they even bother.. they could give you the smallest IOI and an "available" individual would jump up for the "opportunity"but if you are "un-available" then it's a challenge, and will want you more.. If you really think hard about the process of being a PUA, it's mostly based on not being available to anyone.. (false time constraint.. DHV.. etc.)
