Nah that's just the age. I'd probably not say anything if I were dating 18-20 year old women too. But I don't think Gnome is a youngster dating other youngsters.

That line I gave is what I use 100% of the time, verbatim, word for word. I either get no response, or a response that says "I agree, it was nice meeting you, good luck out there". You're talking about much younger women than I am though I think. You were like 24 when you were online dating...

Haha, let's not pretend that ignoring someone is "easier on everyone". It's just easier on you because you've created a fantasy wherein this woman you are cutting off will be so heartbroken over how wonderful you are that she's going to cause drama and/or beg, when in reality as long as you...

I've found that total no contact is always the best way to get over a break up. That whole cordial thing just seems to drag out the inevitable, which is one or the other still having residual feelings and the one who doesn't having to cut the cord anyway because it's obvious being just friends...

And you keep pretending you need to have a singular relationship with the opposite sex to not be alone. You do realize I have a ton of friends right? Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'm alone.

New raid release. Doomsaw basically bans everyone who disagrees with him.

You have the luxury to say such things as a man who is 6'2"!

When the fuck did Wendy's start putting Ketchup on their junior cheeseburger deluxe? I'm so rustled right now.

See I would have thought McCheese was a Red Robin enthusiast considering they have endless fries and all.

You kind of already answered your own question. Dictionary, List, HashTable, etc. There are a lot of collection types in C#, you just have to call the dictionary.remove method with the index instead of doing a pop. It's not really any different other than passing the actual index rather than...

Haha oh, well nevermind!

A full page since that new skin reveal and people don't realize it's a fucking bruce lee skin? I'm not sure where Lucian comes in but those new Lee Skins are definitely enter the dragon colors.

See that's the thing. It will absolutely influence and affect my happiness having a mate who understands where I am coming from financially. If she makes no money at all and is a stay at home mother but values the same things I do financially then that will work, if she makes 300k/year but is...

That extra $5/mo will fuck you over if you ever get divorced! Don't let your wife know about the .edu discount!

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...
