30+ and i've never had a girlfriend--

It is difficult out there in the dating arena. What is most important is to look at who we are first and then we look for what we want in a person. And because we only have one life to live in the here and now, we cannot settle for just anyone. The success or failure rests on the individual.

 

Hence, why the divorce rate is at 50%on a macro level.In certain states like Alabama and Florida, it's much higher.

 

Divorce rates are high around the world it's not just here but I think that's because the current model of marriage doesn't work

 

What is that? Callling people out when they refuse to look at themselves first to see what they can change?

I've been through hell in the dating and married world and I've done more introspection than I care to admit to figure out my role in why I end up with the men I do.

Everyone needs to do that from time to time: a little introspection. And taking responsibility for the role they play in their own lives and stop blaming others.

I'm tired of reading how American women suck, blah, blah, blah. It's called taking responsibility for your own actions - which I do.

But some of the men on this board would rather blanket blame all American women. It's asinine.

 

It's not blanket blame as much as a recognition in culture. If I said American culture is filled with entitled lazy people who love reality tv I bet that would be ok. There are a huge amount of American women who fit the description of shallow and insanely difficult to please.

 

just work on your pleasing skills and it will be all good

 

Really? A "huge" amount? You have that much experience with all of the women in all 50 states to make such a blanket statement?

Where is the scientific study?

Give me a break.

 

So not touching this topic!!! Ready, set, fight!!!!

 

So would you say a huge amount of Americans watch reality tv? Do you have the scientific study for that or would believe it based on our culture?

 

True. I try not to be arbitrary with my own observations and openly state that they're my views based on my experiences. And yes...I do believe that guys are more fun to be around because that's just how most guys grow up. We climb trees, wrestle, roast each other, etc. Girls play with dolls and do their nails. My favorite girl to be around was raised by her father though, so she likes to hunt and ride four-wheelers, and if you have a witty remark, she always has one equally witty for you.

 

To be honest, the closer I get to thirty, the less I think about women. These days I mostly think about money and ways to retire early. I don't want to be like a lot of my family members who've found themselves wondering what they're going to do at 40+

 

I can dig it. You won't loose women by chasing money.

 

Your analogy makes zero sense. It's like comparing apples to space shuttles. It's not even worth an argument.

You don't need a scientific study to prove that a huge amount of Americans watch reality TV. You have quantifiable proof of that by something called ratings.

And you really want to go down the reality TV route? People the world over watch reality TV. In fact, it's so popular that other countries have their own versions of American reality TV shows. So what does that tell YOU about the culture of the rest of the world?

Sounds like I was teaching pimp school :smt043

 

Ok here's your quantifiable proof the vast majority of men on this forum who have exclusively dated ww for years have echoed the same sentiment for years. Better?

 

Then why continue to date them?

What's the definition of insanity......?

 

i know...i know...pick me...raises hand:

doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results:smt031
