There never have been good men. We just repressed the fuck out of women for centuries and gaslighted y’all to high hell. Men are scumbags. (I’m a dude btw.)
TAKE ME
Serious question - could it be that you’re fighting above your weight class?
Sometimes people have set standards in a mate, but fail to realize that those that meet those standards probably have standards of their own.
I wouldn’t put so much stress on the career thing as long as they are motivated as a human. You might be missing out on some incredible partners just because they are on a different timeline.
I think it all depends on the guy, but I’ve always made a lot more than my so (I’m a female, he’s a male) and it’s never been an issue. I almost didn’t date him because I was unimpressed by his job but realized he was smart and motivated and just needed direction. With my help he’s now in his dream job. The thing is though, a lot of ppl that take a while to find themselves professionally usually lack selflessness, which is an amazing quality in a human, but can get you off to a slow start professionally if that makes sense. As in many people who don’t put their careers first are often busy putting other people before themselves. Not everyone figures their careers out at the same pace so as long as they are confident and motivated then give them a chance. Now if my boyfriend had resented me for making more or hadn’t let me help him, it wouldn’t have worked out. But he’s one of the most emotionally intelligent people and calming force I know- so I’m very happy i opened my mind.
@SA OP There will be men who won’t have inferiority complexes. I married one
CW1: Wrong. Take a deep breath right now and be liberated by acknowledging that all you said is incorrect. That's why it feels so bad. You have been beaten down by feminist misinformation and now you hate yourself for being male, which does neither women nor yourself any good. Everyone should listen to the Black Philip Show with Patrice O'Neal. His personal slant is extreme but he's absolutely got masculine and feminine chemistry figured out, and that's what's missing today. Women are not curvy men, and men are not hairy women. We're all miserable eunuchs now from trying to achieve equality, instead of accepting (and enjoying) that we are very different, striving for balance, and appreciating that it's messy. I'm mid-40s and I work with people 10-20 years younger than me and they are not even flirtatious with each other. I'm not talking Harvey Weinstein shit, just simply being vibrant and playful and alive. It's like being at church camp and it's weird. Talked to another friend my age on the other coast and he's like yeah, that's what the kids are like these days. I'm still single, but at least I had a heyday.
Why not apply game theory? A good guy at your level, who wants to travel etc - what is HE looking for? What do you think he wants in a partner? If you don’t have those attributes, now would be a good time to start start learning.
Where is the person that is my equivalent in looks, money, personality, drive, etc? I need TRUE LOVE but also not with an ugly, poor or undriven person. They have to be as good as me or better, have my same interests! Lmaoooo you’re probably asking for too much. Settle for a decent human being with a job. You’re basically “asking god for money."
@CW1 - Chill out White Knight, you’re embarrassing yourself. Give up the projection.
Here. Where are the good women at?
Im a female who was looking for the right dude after a one year long breakup that threw my world. Turns out, I ended up with a female who was an initial friend. Life is better sometimes when you dont plan or set expectations
you swiped left on them
How you doin’?
They’re taken, because everyone wants what you want
I always found that if you’re looking, they never come. People can sense that and run away. Especially when you have such set standards. It will come when you are not looking and when the timing is probably the worst, because life is a bitch. But it will come.
Won't happen dating within the biz. Getting Royered is not exactly anyone's idea of a good time.
I’m married. Sorry
They exist, but it depends also on where you are... if you live in a major city you might have more access to those type of men, but they may not be looking to settle down.
It depends on your age, too! If you’re looking for guys in their mid-20s, they may not want to settle down and travel the world with you because they are having fun and thinking about what they want their career to be.
If you are older, you might in that age where everyone is paired up and having kids — single men in that age bracket, with no kids, who want to be with you (and meet all your other criteria) might be harder to find... and if you’re older than that, a lot of guys who are available may not have the $$$ or time.
You aren’t necessarily asking for too much, but it might just take a while. Instead of waiting for some guy to travel the world with, start traveling on your own or with friends.
The right guy will eventually appear.
What coast are you on?
