Nicely put, M. I think my 'success' in attracting and maintaining interest within dating Rs and the renewed friendliness/contacts from XW stem from this self-feeding/non-neediness that I'm likely displaying. When I ask a woman if she'd like to do s/t with me on an eve, my happiness and self-esteem aren't riding on her response. I'm fine regardless, and I think this is communicated to the OP. My Xw is picking up on this, and at the very least, I would imagine that it reduces any sense of pressure.
I feel for her, as she's doing the same thing your XW did on myspace, JM. Not to that extent, but her circle of friends include a gaggle of clueless-seeming folks at least a decade younger, give or take a few older MLC males. Despite that interest in youth and busy distraction, she's been contacting me at least 2x/day for the past 5 days, sometimes just to chat.
My one fear is that a possible suggestion for trying again by her would be timed directly with her running out savings. If I'm to be a sugardaddy, I'd rather find one of Kev's HBMGF's! (joking)
