Good thing I am 6'2''. Being as ugly as I am I can't imagine how hard dating life would have been for me if I was a short *******.


I got a decent sized PP though

I'm completely alright with a smart, tall woman who makes all the money in the world.

I dont need a partner, but would definitely enjoy one to share life experiences. I dont think humans were meant to be solitary creatures.

Nothing I posted would give away this persona identity. Did yours have their face?

doesnt matter. i dont see anything in the rules about either. your allowance of that post is a microcosm of the theme of this thread. its a sexist double standard. nothing more, nothing less.

no different than dating sites trying to implement height verification for men, but not weight for women.

perhaps, but all that tells me is; 4 hours went by and no men were offended enough to flag it.

are you starting to see the code in the matrix yet?

I reported going on a very intense, nasty, alcohol and weed-fueled date. When you take a combat arms Army guy who went to war at 18 and match him on a date with a girl who is crazier than 80% of his peers, it will be absolute pandemonium. Just a beer, weed, bang fest. That entertained a lot of people lol.

Then again, the best date I ever went on was 10 years ago. A lot more laid back and with probably the finest girl I ever went out with.

Dating sucks.
Lights out date.
Men are the worst.
Women are also super awful.
Anecdote presented as a universal explanation of human behavior.
Go #### yourself.
Allow me to explain why you are an idiot.
Seriously go #### yourself.
Get over yourself.
Chiken wants to bone.
Alias has a huge hot tub.
Nick Saban and Jimbo had a fight.
Women and men are basically the same.
Everyone go #### yourself.
Rehash of previous arguments.
Rehash of previous arguments.
Chiken still looking to bone.

I think that about covers it.

There are quite a few men out there that do not love when a woman makes more than them, and generally the more successful they are, the more it bothers them.


Complete opposite for some though, including me. I WANT to find a successful woman that makes more than me. Tired of needy princesses that can literally only function as homebodies. And do that horribly.

Really starts to get old when you are the breadwinner AND the home keeper. Used to come home beat from work to cook and clean and other chores literally every day. My last ex was unemployed 95% of the time and cooked approximately 8-12 meals the time we were together. WE WERE TOGETHER FOR 7 YEARS. She literally did nothing all day, every day.

Yeah, I think I see why I am burned out on the hot but useless people. It ain't worth it in the long run. I need to find an actual partner, not just a long term dependent. I think most men of my generation and younger desire this generally speaking.

Absolutely this. And I was with the wrong girl for 10 years. I wonder what might have been if I had realized the incredible opportunity with the other one at the time.

if the listed height is under 5'8" it is accurate

f he says 5'8" in the bio, he's 5'6" or 5'7"

If he says he's 6', he's 5'10 or 5'11"

over that and it's honest.



just like a baseball roster


I'll have you know I'm 6'0" exactly tyvm

I wouldn't have a problem at all with a woman who makes more than I do. Here there are a lot who make freaking $85-120k. I could stack my 70ish with that and we could go buy a nice house.

in general, when looking for wifey material, guys don't care what the girl makes

B/c a guy does not want a woman working 60+ hrs a week for that 100+k and all that comes with the working extra/hard

Certainly my bank account would love to be 2X'ed on income -- but I would never get to see her and enjoy her

Spot on. People try to brag that a girl is a lawyer or a doctor, and that doesnt really appeal to me. All that tells me is that shes going to work long hours and be obsessed with her career. No thanks. I'd rather marry a teacher or a secretary.

You also want to wait in the lobby and pass out cigars when your wife has a baby, right?

Well first he asked where I work, so my plain response to that is "I'm a contract killer for the CIA" because I'm not going to randomly tell people where I work. Duh.

Then he asked "what is your GS level" which is asking what pay status i'm on. I ignored the first question and tried changing the subject. He answered my next question and then asked again my GS level.

I just unmatched than answer.


This is partly why you're still single. Can't recognize jokes. I mean for Fs sake you're not really a contract killer for the CIA, so he wasn't really asking how much you make.

Not as bad as meeting the coolest girl in the world when you were 28 and not talking again after that.

Yeah, really. If you are a killer for the CIA you are on salary.

This was 2012 so about 10 years ago. Met her online and we went on a date. Had a pretty good time and found her quite fascinating. But after that, I remember being kind of scared and uncertain about it. I meant to hit her up again but never did.

Fast forward a whole decade now. I recently split up with this girl I was dating for almost that whole decade. Reached out finally to the one date girl and we'll see if she replies.
