Hello Dave, my PUA brother.
I have a gentleman's rule when it comes to dating women.
RULE 1: If you have to tell a lie, tell an outrageous one so the girl knows that you're lying but doesn't feel bad about it. Instead, she'll be laughing so hard because you're a MASSIVE FAIL when it comes to lying.
RULE 2: Honesty is the best policy. At one point, I got involved with three women. They all knew that I've been having sex with them and it wasn't an issue since I told them earlier about the truth. Their reaction was: May the best girl win. I have been having too much sex daily for six months or so. End result? I ended up sticking to one since it's counter-productive to work.
The point is, YOU'RE the hot man. HB9 and HB8 should realize that if they don't treat you special, someday an HB10 will come along. At the end of the game, it's the HB who treats you well who will win. Choose the HB, whether she's an 8 or a 10, who treats you like a king. For now, those two hot babes have to work hard to win you over.
