Advice from the old lady:
Interesting thread. I’m a big believer in the old cliche that water seeks its own level. And yes I’ve seen that the dating market is skewed because fewer people go out and socialize in real life.
So what kind of level are you? How do you level up?
You’ve got to be honest about who you are and where you are in the matrix. Women must do this too. That’s the problem. Too few people understand where they are. Hence women’s entitlement; hence frustration.
Hell. I’m a 54yo divorced business woman with 3 kids, two still at home. What others have said is indeed true. I am entirely self-sufficient financially, FFS I subsidize my ex husband too. So I don’t need a man for resources.
That gives me a unique power of choice. I can choose based on sexual desire. I’m not worried about money except that I’m not going to date a financial project. I require (yes require) a man who has his finances together and is similarly self sufficient. I’m not his sugar mama. I expect a man who is a gentleman in the true sense (I.e. a REAL man who is self assured enough to be kind.). Kindness is born of strength folks. It’s the insecure & the immature dolts who are running around acting like ass holes. Pass on that.
I also only choose from men who choose me.
I waste utterly zero time on men who don’t show interest in me nor do I waste my time on men who I’m not interested in. Either is a waste of time and my time is valuable, VERY valuable.
So is your time guys. Value your time.
My next birthday with a zero in it is 60. You guys who are 20s & 30s, even 40s may not feel the clock ticking but it is. Quit wasting time chewing on this and instead focus on 2 things:
1. What are you looking for?
2. How do you attract it?
Believe it or not it is no different for me. I want a fit, stylish, successful man who is good looking (which I have)….so what is required of me? That I am thin, beautiful, fit, stylish, confident, pleasant, interesting and have my life together.
Notice the list of the requirements I must meet is longer than the list of things I’m after.
Notice also that I am acutely aware of that.
Finally I am honest about myself and where I am relative to others. I know my value. Hot 28 year olds have zero interest in me, Duh. But a successful established 45-55 year old? I’m what he’s looking for in many many cases, trust me.
Last night I went to dinner with a girlfriend. When the check came some man had paid for my drinks already, but the bartender wouldn’t disclose who. I simply asked her to thank him for his generosity, I am taken after all.
If you want a Victoria’s Secret model you are going to have to be a rock star, celebrity, multi millionaire or some such. Those are the circles those women have access to and who they pair off with.
But you can level up your social circles if you are willing to make the effort. Have some hobbies, leave the bloody house on the weekends for God’s sake.
If you refuse to play you cannot win.
Cheers
