My (female) flatmate brings up online dating the other night.
She asks if I've done it, and I regale her with a couple of horror stories; as some know I'm not fan of OLD. She starts going, on asking why I think all the online guys in the local area are in the media/creative industries. I'm like, well duh, the local area is well known for accommodating those industries in particular, among others. I suggest speed dating (which on recent reflection, actually seems like it could be quite an efficient way of going about things). She's like, yeah, she went to one event in the city, but it was 'full of bankers'. Again, the City of London is the financial district ....
This demonstrates the female mindset perfectly; they're not thinking like men. For goodness sake, this girl couldn't even logically reason around the fundamental concept of local population demographics; in a city of 9 million people, and 150 square miles, she just expects her ideal man, with the ideal job to just be present in her immediate 2-3 mile radius. Not that a job is (always) a terribly fcking important consideration anyway.
And this, gents, is why I bang on and on about
men taking responsibility and appropriate action. Women think they can be responsible and rationalise like men do, but by and large, they can't. Their brains are simply wired differently; their hormones and consequent feel-feels fluctuate like the wind. In the same instance, attempting to rationlise their thinking and behaviour from a male point of view will drive a man to distraction; as indeed it seems to a lot here.
Don't listen to the nonsense coming out of women's mouths about what they
think/say they want.
Do not buy in to their overt, idealistic 'rationalisations' of what they're looking for, because they're all looking for the same things.
We know what they want; attention, entertainment and security. Demonstrate those values,
refuse to become emotionally attached, always have two in the bag, and let the noise wash over your head, because that's all it is.
