It's not really weird at all. Tinder is based almost solely on physical attraction. Height is a part of that. Us men like to complain about height standards placed on us by women but I'd be lying if I didn't say I don't swipe left on women who say they're over 5'6". I like petite women. Women...

I'm not sure where I gave the impression that I want a woman to "nourish my every need". I am very independent and I appreciate a woman who is independent also. If she only wants to hang out one night a week that's perfectly acceptable and cool with me. But I do expect her to be ambitious and...

The wedding ring would probably make you more approachable. Not joking.

I'm slightly exaggerating. And the reason I do that is because my 6'2" friend who is absolutely TERRIBLE with women still gets approached constantly whereas I (and I am arguable just as attractive as he is) almost never do. Actually, this conversation has opened my eyes. I need to start hanging...

I spend even less than 40% of what I make every year. I am very fiscally responsible. The problem though, for me and most other "wealthy" men who have been taken advantage of, is that women expect you to spend on them otherwise you are "cheap". You should see the difference in attitude of women...

5'9" isn't exactly struggling either though. I'm 5'10", and generally have an easy time with people. But let me put it this way. At 5'10" I have to be witty and personable to be as successful as I am with women. At 6'2" I could probably just sit against a wall with a beer in my hand and never...

Well, yes. It does. But I think you know that. Attractive people have an easier time in life.

I can't really argue with you DW. It's a point of contention even with myself about how much I might be self sabotaging. But I am entirely too stubborn to make changes that I feel would equate to "settling".

This is an interesting point. In Seattle? It's probably something women are tired of hearing about, in the northeast? It's the same as well as certain other burgeoning software markets like Colorado and Austin TX. I've had more than one woman say "I wasn't sure about dating another software...

I don't do presents, even for my actual family. I'd just build an extra spot in my gaming room for you and more slots in the wine rack for the women. That's a win/win situation man.

Sounds like you got a little lucky but you know exactly what I'm talking about (the frustrations of dating much younger women). I can't even count how many dates I've been on over the past 3.5 years, and that is not something I am proud of or bragging about. I would be happy never having to go...

Well does she have any sisters or cousins or anything? WTF bro?

Yea but that's kind of the point I was making. You make more than I do I am very sure. Your wife, who works in finance, is probably close to my income level. I referred to teachers and social workers, not finance/economics professionals. Attorneys have a lot of prestige attached to their job...

You were way younger than I am when you met your wife. Here is the problem, I date women who are usually 28+, and more often 30+. I do not get along with younger women because I have nothing to talk to them about. The issue with what you're saying is, I am so over having to feel like a father...

I completely understand what you're saying. And I don't put a monetary equivalent on principles, but in my experience, even the women around here who seem promisising aren't. And unfortunately for me the ones who are, aren't interested. Seriously. It's a conundrum. I am not good enough for the...

Typically aspirations and drive means better earning power. Losers with bad jobs don't have aspirations and drive Tenks. I am very judgmental because of my past relationships. Maybe it's a character flaw but I can't help it.

Even RNs make a lot of money in the Northeast US. 75k+ in most instances. Which is still upper middle class.

APRN (nurse practitioners) here in the US make A LOT of money. Yes. Very close to top 5%. That's what privatized healthcare will do.

I do exactly as you say. But I think anyone who still dates at my age will find a correlation between earning power and intellect. The women who are intellectually stimulating to me are always in the same ballpark, the women who aren't intellectually stimulating are teachers and social workers...

That's the dilemma, that isn't lost on me. I realize that is true. But I still WANT to be with someone who is my equal, and I do meet women who are. Unfortunately for me they almost always expect to meet a man who is their vast superior, and I don't make the cut.

You and I are vastly different. What's dual/income responsibility look like? Because I almost never meet women who are on my level. They act and pretend they are at first, but it becomes evidently clear within a short time frame that they don't even hold a candle. I guess if you're a dude who...

God I wish that were true. Women around here definitely still expect a man to be more successful and provide for them while they "follow their dream" of being a deadbeat. Let me extrapolate on that. Men are more ambitious than women, they are more likely to work multiple jobs or change...

It means that you're ignoring what the reality of the state of dating is just because you've gotten yourself out of the dating pool. And now you're acting holier than thou with the stupid "oh generalizations herp derp" nonsense.

So many idealistic married men in this thread. Keep sticking your head in the sand just because you think you have to pretend there aren't trends in our country now that you're married lest ye offend the delicate sensibilities of your esteemed wife.

Dude, he didn't put edible vegetables anywhere on any of those dishes, he just put a couple of garnish "veggies" that nobody ever eats anyway. Literally a few leaves. The rest is all junk food.

The problem is what Tenks is talking about is still the minority, I know because it's what I am looking for and it still isn't a prevalent train of thought in our society. What I originally stated sadly is still the American Dream (TM). I wish it would have shifted already, it's probably an...

I love it

Ok, I understand more where you're coming from now. You're talking about the ideal people hold in their heads about the American Dream vs what the reality is. I agree with you.

You need to snap out of it and come down to reality. You have got to be kidding me with that quote... are you 10?

Well... the "American Dream" is basically the man being a dad for his wife and the wife being a mom for her husband. I mean, that literally is the American Dream

Bros, in my fast food fast I missed out on the sriracha quesarito, but I just went to T-bell for lunch and had the new crispy chicken quesadilla and that shit is bangin. Top 10 t-bell item of all time, maybe even top 5

What do you mean "somehow I just don't think she's going to find a 10/10". Of course she isn't. 10/10 is a fantasy, a hollywood ideal. It doesn't exist. 8.5 is pretty fucking good, she's immature and naive.

I think you're missing what I'm saying. I'm saying of course you're right, different things work for different people, I'm just offering opinions here based on my own personal tastes. Venting about how much I can't stand the "princess" ideal.

Romantic comedies aren't the culprit. Disney is. Fuck Walt Disney, he single handedly ruined generations of American Women.

If you aren't attracted you HAVE to say something. Because it's going to end the relationship anyway if you feel that strongly about it. If she decides you telling her she needs to be a responsible human being who has a little pride in herself and how she presents herself to the world is a...

Well this is obviously 100% true. But as a man who grew up on Long Island I really hate the American Princess ideal, with a fucking passion.

Truer words cannot be spoken about American women. I love that stupid "fresh off the boat" show because the mother's character honestly is how every non American born Asian woman I've ever met acts. Like Cad said, they understand the importance of status and success but don't waste money on...

Do not slight yourself in any way. Saying "Though I'm certainly not going to be..." is like saying "Hey I'm average and it's ok if you think you're average too". Which it obviously isn't. You got to put down what you want to pick up! People in general like to feel challenged. It's exciting...

The lesson here is. Marry an Asian. Also, none of what you married men have been saying sounds like complaining to me honestly. It's just normal everyday venting. Nobody is perfect and is everything you want them to be 100% of the time. There isn't a single person on earth that if I spent...

Iceman is really fun and satisfying to play. You can choose a lazy summoner build, an active beam weaving ranged build, hybrid versions of the two, and all of them are red raid viable with good TTK and decent survivability.
