The only thing exceptional about me won’t be apparent until the end of the first date at the soonest. Otherwise i have average looks, somewhat above average income and probably above average conversion skill.
There is a sea of single women for me at age 39. Not all want to date me, which is expected, but plenty do.
Perhaps I should be thanking Molyneux. I don’t imagine I’d be able to get dates with so many women in their 20s if guys in their 20s understood that women aren’t interested in a guy who lives at home, has no marketable skills for employment and whose principal hobbies are video games and posting sad memes on social media.
It turns out that women are attracted to the same basic qualities they’ve always been attracted to. Big shocker.
you’re not far off but at the same time those things you mention are becoming much harder for a 20 year old to obtain than ever before and that’s part of the problem.
men have to adjust to the economic realities of the situation, why aren’t women?
Case in point: Japan, Latin America, men don’t leave home until they are married, really well off, or sometimes never. Do women throw digs at a guy if he still lives with his mom? nope.
For Latin America this is simply a reality, an economic one. The women have adjusted to this reality. Are women in the U.S adjusting despite showing an increase of 20 year olds coming back from college to live at home?
Maybe men should be thankful for this? As in latin America there is also no age discrimination and you will routinely see much older men with younger women, unlike here in the states “ewww he’s like almost 30, or ewww he’s almost 40”
I’d like to think I’m tuned in to what the next generation is dealing with. I made a lot of friends in the 21 and up crowd working as a part time doorman and I have a stepson who is almost 19.
I really don’t see what has changed. Guys either get their shit together, or not. Same as women. Same as it has always been.
And yes, women need to get their shit together too. I won’t lie and say I’ve turned down dates with young and sexy train wrecks, but I’m not sticking around to see them through their party/hoeing/misplaced priority phase.
It’s a two way street. Always has been, always will be. Assuming you want a healthy relationship, that is.
hahaha polo I really wish you’d explain this to me. where else do you meet and make guy friends in your 30s and 40s ??? do you just walk up to random guys at the gym and say “hi, wanna be my pal?”
Bringing this here, as this would presumably be the place for the winkwink @BrickHead (aren’t women some crazy bitches?!) and I don’t want to further derail the photo check-in.
This, from you upthread, greenboy:
Accurately conveys the tone of our “relationship.” You are an ugly, nasty, angry man who hates pretty much everything to do with women. Don’t fucking email me, not because I’m a sensitive snowflake who needs consent for all communication, but because you’re the kind of thing that makes me refuse to use the parking garage near work.
@zecarlo
I never expressed envy of anyone in this thread, but merely pointed out the hypocrisy of some people who whine about privilege. Please, read properly.
This is 100% correct. A lot of the people who are struggling to find women also happen to be anti-women on a lot. And women have never been into hearing that they suck. Crazy I know.
It’s easier than ever and they pretend the issue is with women. It’s only a trillion times easier to meet girls than it was even 20 years ago. Most guys are obese.
Some people aren’t going to find someone. That has happened throughout history. It isn’t some crisis. It seems like some guys in our need gratification now think they deserve to have women flock to them.
There is truth to what you say, but its not the entire story. You have App’s to meet people, online dating, which have opened up more people to meet. I still hear a lot of people of both sexes unhappy with the results though. It seems to be good for hook up culture, and not so good for long term relationships.
You also have the toxic masculinity thing being pushed, like not approaching women on the street.
Old avenues like meeting at work are much riskier due to sexual harassment policies.
I’ve had one warning, which came 7 months after I started using the 3 hour maximum lot full time. It says I’ll receive one more warning, then the next time will be towed or fined. That was a month ago or so, and since then I’ve stepped up my game. Last Thursday it was a really pretty day and I had time, so I moved the car at lunchtime, which is the second time I’ve done that now, and I’m parking several spaces away from my usual place pretty regularly.
I really wouldn’t mind being fined - it’s well worth it to pay $50 a couple times a year to avoid greenboy and his friends in the parking garage. I’ll be SAD, though, to come out of the office at 7 PM in the cold, dark winter and find my car gone.
