Lurking for about a year, made it a goal to only post things I felt were truly useful to TRP. Here ya go, I use this all the fucking time with success and I think it shows some insight into the female psyche.

I consider myself a relatively distinguished gentleman - good career, decent income, nice apartment, well-read, speak a few languages, etc. As we all know, this makes me at least an eligible man. However, if I was a woman, these criteria would undoubtedly indicate that I am about to slam into the wall full speed, or even had already hit the wall. Not so for me.

However, because I'm around the ripe old age of 30 and date basically exclusively women between 19 and 23, a common question is asked during the banter stage of flirting. This can occur on the dance floor, after a few drinks at a bar, or even pillow talk-

Ms. Perky Tits - 'So, why don't you date women your own age?'

Now, I wouldn't classify it as a shit-test. It's more banter, but I digress. What is my response, 100% of the time? Something to the effect of -

ECM - Meh. Women My age are all jaded and baby-crazy. And eye-bags, don't forget the eye-bags. Forget that.

Now, this is merely the thrust of my response but I have used this exact line a few times.

Younger women (19-23) love this joke. Do you know why? Women are all acutely aware of the wall. All of them. Even at age 19. Female comedians joke around about baby-crazy 30s all the fucking time. So why does it work?

Women love joking about the Wall, as long as they are not near hitting it. This is why this line of humour works very well with younger women. I've even gotten one of these girls in on jokes when I point out a post-wall woman at a bar clearly looking to hook-up - 'Look at this woman, we all know what she's here for, eh?' These younger women pounce on this with me because they love to revel in just how much more desirable they are than other women.

We have all seen this born out in LTRs. I had one girl declare to me multiple times, 'Well I'm the hottest of all my friends.' Some friend she was....

So there ya go. Joke about the wall with younger women. These women are selfish and love revelling in being prettier than others.

Obligatory cautionary words - 1) don't ever use the word 'the Wall' or anything else that might reveal your TRP status; 2) delivery is everything. Find what works for you, and the appropriate context; and 3) young women only do not do this to a women even near approaching the wall. I've made this mistake and it results in her introspection, and going home without you because she isn't feeling it.

EDIT - going with field report. Unsure where general gaming tips go in light of the demise of TRP game.
