Where are all the good men today?!🙄 All I want is a good guy who is on my level or even higher (career wise), is ready to settle down & travel the world w/ me! I don’t think I’m asking for too much🤔

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.)

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.

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."

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.
