I don't think you will understand until your a bit older (2-5 years older) but 17 year old girls don't want 17 year old boys. This is just hard wired biologically into our instincts.
Man... Thats wrong in so many ways...
Allow me to completely disagree. True, many 17 yo girls prefer PREFER older guys... But it doesnt mean that it is impossible for him to get a girl his own age. As for older guys... I am an older guy and I can imagine older and younger girls both. There is such a thing as personal taste. You can not just take some thing you learned in your highschool biology classes, mix it with what Mystery believes and hold it for true. You might search for the perfect partner but truth is, if everybody would just go for their ideal then there would not be much casual sex going on... And there is.
Second thing I wanna oppose, you are not helping this guy, only making him feel worse.
Third, ok you advise the man to read up on his biology... It is good to understand the biology behind mate selection etc etc because it shows you where the attraction switches come from. But to blindly believe in them without understanding them is plainly stupid. If you would be right there would be no such things as 17 you couples, men with older women, couples of the same age, girls going for guys that are not perfect. You are wrong my friend.
I would like to say this to everyone at this forum. Do not blindly believe in what the "rules", "gurus", "biological models" or "psychology books" tell you, get real. See the world as it is. It is not necessary to have ALL attraction switches, it is not necessary to be PERFECT... It helps but you are not screwed just because you lack one or two of them...
Sorry to be so hard on you man, I just thought it was necessary to set this straight.
"But it doesnt mean that it is impossible for him to get a girl his own age" I never said it was impossible to get a girl his age, I was simply stating some generalizations.
"There is such a thing as personal taste" I completely agree
"I am an older guy and I can imagine older and younger girls both" Shit, I can imagine anything the hell I want to, I can imagine fucking my friends mom
"You can not just take some thing you learned in your highschool biology classes, mix it with what Mystery believes and hold it for true" First of all, I'm a Biology major at a prestigious university, who is will soon graduate and go off to medical school. As a matter of fact, if you were paying attention, but most PUA is actually derived from evolutionary biology. Ever heard of peacocking?
"Second thing I wanna oppose, you are not helping this guy, only making him feel worse" Sorry for that, I really don't want to make anyone feel bad, thing is there are always gonna be stunning women, and thing is the kid reminds me of a young men. Just remember HB's are not scarce! Don't get too worked up over one, there are plenty on this planet.

You are wrong my friend" I don't blindly believe in anything. However most of us do, to go off on a philsophical tangent, have you ever heard of Descartes? Hell, I never said a 17 year old can't date someone his own age. ON the contrary I've seen a 20 something year old date a woman who is over 70 years old! Look it up. I was giving some generalizations. Humans are much more complex creatures than animals, in terms of emotion and what not.
Sorry to be so hard on you man, I just thought it was necessary to set this straight.
Right back at ya man
