SJC2008 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I've gotten a total of 9 dates online in a little over a year. Anyway, I have in my profile that I'm still in college so I'm thinking it may be turning women off because at this age they want someone already career settled. On the other hand I see some women online who are still in school at my age and it doesn't bother me at all and I'm sure they still get tons of messages. Is it really that much of a drawback or will my stock go up?
Author SJC2008 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Does it still boil down to looks? If I was HOT would it be "He's almost done with school, late bloomer but he's almost there"? My average looks "Meh I need someone career settled".

Is it really that much of a drawback or will my stock go up? Life experiences, photos, career, age...yes it all factors in. You are competing with every other guy that is doing OLD. Besides, why are you bothering with OLD when you are in college? If I were in your shoes I would be scouting the campus for girls to date. It's so much easier to meet someone when you're in school.
fortyninethousand322 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I went on more dates (2 with one woman) from OLD when I was in college than when I was out of college (roughly a year sample size for each). If you're in college try to meet some women around campus, don't do OLD. College is the last best place to meet women before you're out in the real world.
carhill Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Wishful thinking or will my stock go up when I'm done with college?I don't know. What stock did you invest in? My dad suggested investing in oil and it's done really well for me (true) On the dating front, a college degree merely provides admission to the realm of women who summarily dismiss men like myself who never got such a degree. It's definable, quantifiable and she can infer your 'security' potential from such milestones. So, I would say, all else being equal, your stock will go up with a college diploma. Good luck.

I'm 30 going on 31! 19-23 year olds don't typically date men in their 30's and I'd feel like a creep dating below 23. 24 is my comfortable lower limit and 23 would be my rock bottom.

That makes sense. Are there no suitable mid-20's + people in any of your classes? I've met people in that age range when I was a student. Particularly in night classes.

yongyong Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 well when you meet someone, at least create some B.S. you were working and figured it wasn't your lifetime thing. so you made a decision to go to college at that age. Depending on how you say, people will respect your decision.
MrCastle Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I don't know where this idea came from that college is easier in terms of dating. Maybe party schools where you have thousands of incoming freshman. Or maybe if you dorm. The bulk of people are not enrolled in giant party schools. The bulk of (highly attractive, good personality) girls I meet are already taken. Someone needs to point me in the direction of these single, hot, college sluts that bang just about anyone that I keep seeing in pornos and american pie movies.
Author SJC2008 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 I was even thinking of putting bachelors in my profile and switching the zip to another city to see if I'd get responses to my messages.
yongyong Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 how about trying someone else's picture :lmao: I was even thinking of putting bachelors in my profile and switching the zip to another city to see if I'd get responses to my messages. 1
Author SJC2008 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 how about trying someone else's picture :lmao: lol what I'm getting at (Knowing OLD is hard for most men) is that once I have a degree I'm HOPING to get more dates. That's why I was thinking of putting I have a degree and sending out some messages and seeing if the response rate goes up.
mortensorchid Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 The majority of OLD are just looking at photos. You could've dropped out of the 6th grade, no one would notice.
carhill Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 As it's easy to notate 'college degree' in an OLD profile, even if a lie, that is of less significance to stock going up than during the 'interview' process of getting to know each other where you talk about your college education, where you studied, majors, degrees, etc and the 'truth' becomes evident. That's where the women who 'qualify' prospects by diploma type, school standing, etc, will give you more 'stock' than a man who doesn't meet those standards. You'll literally have access to additional potentials as a result. This was less of an issue when I was your age, but it was still an issue, hence why I mentioned it. For my generation and demographic, it was general family social status which was qualified. If the young man didn't measure up, doors were closed to him, regardless of other aspects. More doors open = more potentials for dates, relationships and marriage.
