d'Arthez Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm assuming most men on LS are super ugly, because I don't see another reason for them complaining that my wanting a hot guy is a horribly shallow thing. I am a man, and I am not complaining about your standards. Nor am I complaining about men who want to date perfect 10s. The following is not directed to anyone specifically: But when people refuse to put in effort, have little to nothing to offer and think that is okay (i.e. they are "entitled"), treat people of the other gender as a pieces of meat, display hatred, and an unwillingness to affect positive changes in dating life, then they will not get much sympathy from me. And I am sure a lot of decent people feel that way. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

kaylan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I repeat, Im chiming in late but heres my take. SEX is easier for women to obtain, DATING (either for companionship or a relationship) is not. Guys are just as picky in that regard. Stop arguing. I knew I avoided this thread for a reason. Its blown up to 17 pages in 2 days. Go figure. Quit bickering. /thread Link to post Share on other sites
HallowedBeThyName Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 To me, a good job is one where a man can pay all his bills, go on vacation and then have some to spare (this might seem high to most people but this is what I want because this is how I make my own living, and I don't want anything less). I've said this before in LS. If a man is 30 and still hasn't made a decent living for himself, then I will consider that he never will and financially he becomes unattractive to me. I don't think this is all that unreasonable I thought you were one of those women who only wanted guys that make $150,000+ a year Truth be told, I probably will be pretty close to that category cause I have a ferocious work ethic and I'm pretty confident in my work abilities, but knowing that is one of the primary reasons a girl is dating me would be a huge turn off obviously Link to post Share on other sites

You have a good brain, and a (mostly) good attitude. No doubt about that. You'll get where you want to be. Link to post Share on other sites

Negative Nancy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 it's so ridiculous how all the hens have come outof the woodwork and became the biggest suck-ups as soon as a dude posted a fake picture of "his" body that he probably found on the internet... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FrustratedStandards Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I don't think this is all that unreasonable I thought you were one of those women who only wanted guys that make $150,000+ a year lol...I really didn't want to get into this but since the subject came up...I come from a family that makes more than 2 million a year....I don't make nearly as much, but you can imagine how coming from a family like this set my standards for a man...which is why I put emphasis on money more than the average person. It takes money to travel, go to exotic places, get boating and diving licenses. Plane tickets aren't cheap. Hotels aren't cheap. Paying for tours and exclusive getaways are NOT cheap. I am accustomed to this, so for someone like me, having a man who can't afford this (eventually in his life) is a big downgrade. Not saying I need a man who makes 2 million a year, but my family would make 150,000+ in a month, so you can imagine. The same men who who seem to hate us women seem to be fascinated with you! I just find it funny! I was pretty surprised myself. I was just starting to get used to being hated on this forum! Hah! As life should have it. Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 But you would not be attracted to me either, right? I am 5'7, long hair, 130lbs, pale, green eyes, black hair (oops) and over 35 (oops!), natural D-cups. That's just the way it is. I'm okay with you not liking me, but you (and guys like you) don't seem to be okay us not liking you. Just trying to make a point, folks, put away the pitchforks. Wow, my post went completely over your head. Did you miss the part where I said I can be attracted to an Asian girl who met none of those preferences? Which guess what, means I can be into you too and especially if you do meet several of them. I swear, some people are so firmly in their beliefs that they only comprehend something as they want to.

FrustratedStandards Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 So what's the number a man has to make for you to be happy?? 200,000? 300,000? Well, i've come to terms with the fact that I will never meet a man who makes as much. Which is fine. But I DO want a guy who can afford to spend a couple grand on a vacation, and then some for tours and guides etc. I would say 500,000 would be comfortable for me. 200,000 is on the lower side, but if he's a great guy than I suppose I could be okay with that (and only if he pays for the date! hehe) Link to post Share on other sites

Woggle Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 That is your problem. You see everything in a gendered lens. (I won't list anything here as I am sure you can guess or know what it is...) I see humanity. I work towards more democracy (gender-neutral). Focus on making the world a better place! I admit I sort of do but that is because we live in a very gender polarized world.

You clearly have no backbone. Oh vell! Sorry, I was with you when you were talking about meeting a good looking guy with a good job, but demanding that your husband is in the top 0.01% of society economically is pretty outrageous Also, you're not in the top 0.01%. Your dad/mom are in the top 0.01%. If it wasn't for your family, you probably wouldn't even be in the top 20% of society in terms of money I would have sympathy for you maybe if you made 2 million dollars a year yourself, but you're nothing more than rich spoiled girl who is now golddigging for a similar quality mate so you can continue to be rich and spoiled 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Your entitled attitude is. I dated a girl from a well to do family once, but she was modest and humble as all freaking get out. You are just....difficult to speak with online even. I couldnt imagine trying to deal with you in person. And Im not trying to be a d!ck either. I have short patience and we'd prolly be arguing very quickly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
