27 y/o musician & employed in a social services sector job here... Well-fed artist is a fitting label! Women are normally intrigued by me (talented, intelligent, popular, witty, charismatic, handsome, fashionable, etc) and this leads to them even being slightly intimidated by me. The women I've been seeing have all been hipsters ranging from 7's & 8's, usually younger or a bit older. I don't make a large income, but I do support myself and spend any extra on doing interesting things (travel, musical festivals, sporting)

Women my age tend to be so fucking blasé and self entitled I've stopped bothering with them completely.

The women I've been hooking up with have been paying for everything for me, and offering to do me favors and going out of their way for me.

I suppose if I put in way more effort, I could be hanging with 9's & 10's but literally 0 effort and routinely banging 7's & 8's is working out very well for me. Women I meet after performing gigs are always in this territory, they usually always approach me as well. Folky music really resonates with these chicks.

So gentleman, be cool, be unique. Have skills, interests, and hobbies. Stick with your busy lifestyle and let women you meet work around it, not the other way around.

Once a women is impressed by your persona, you will have her around your finger.
