Why Is it sooo hard to find a committed girlfriend nowadays. I just started my top tier MBA probably earning 250k in consulting afterwards. I wanna buy a nice house in Dallas and honestly just a girlfriend to spoil who never has to worry about anything. I just broke up with my Ex because she was scared of being committed. I heard that a lot from friends as well, that if man straight out say they wanna settle and have kids in the near future, that they freak out and leave. Any thoughts on that?

What do you to bring to the table as far as becoming a team with your partner? I see what you provide financially but how are you gonna react when you find this "perfect woman" and they have their first miscarriage. Post and pre-partum issues. Are you going to be rolling calls and putting out fires while she's dealing with the rest of the life you two were supposed to be dealing with and building together?

I wish I could make today's male population understand that they have been conditioned to treat women as reproductive slaves and that our political climate and direction are both covertly and overtly built for trapping and disempowering women.

I have a couple of thoughts. First, although your career /money is important, it is not one of the things I (or my friends ) look for in a guy. We need to have enough in common for a true connection, and enough differences to be interesting. You seem really focused your earning and social status. That is ok, I am sure there are people that share that same passion. But building a commitment around THAT passion will be difficult.

Secondly, you seem very focused on what you want. Honestly, I can’t speak for all women, but I (and people I know) are looking for a partnership. Let’s build a home and family TOGETHER, improve our community TOGETHER, grow in our faith TOGETHER, and yes, be successful on our journey through life TOGETHER.

A guy that says he wants to “settle and have kids in the near future “ without understanding where are passions intersect is a huge red flag. And it takes time to learn / understand each others true passions. I hope this helps!

Wow a whole $250k!?!?

Your insertion of the mba and your *potential* salary having just started your mba might have a thing or two to do with this dilemma of yours.

Not flexing at all, just stating an issue.

Anyway, if only everyone was as clear and concise on their needs or wants. The dating world would be wonderful.
People seem so entitled now a days that its unbelievable.
I hope you find what youre looking for. Word of advice, dont settle and stick to what you want.
All the best.

The fact the first thing you tell us to explain your readiness and what you have to give for a relationship is just your education and income tells me you’re missing some important factors in one’s ability to get into a serious relationship and sustain it.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent.
