carhill Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Where do you rank on the food chain? Mellon aisle..... some squeeze, some smell, some thump. A lot of pick ups and put downs.
TheZebra Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I don't believe in a food chain so there is no rank for me. I approach who I want and if they don't like me, I move on to someone else I firmly believe that men who believe in this food chain/rank nonsense are the ones who just don't understand dating and women. If I ever overhear a guy talking about this stuff IRL, you can be sure I'm running the other direction. 2
TouchedByViolet Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 It's more like a food web than a chain. What one person is into may be completely different from someone else.
MoreThanThat Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 seems like a lot to me... maybe by 45 that is normal? I've been a serial monogamist so I don't think it is all that unusual. I've been in 18 relationships of 3 months or more (not all involving sex mind you) since I was 16. For many, I was the first serious relationship they were in. One I said yes to and we were engaged for a while but jealousy on his side ended it. Another I married and it lasted til he changed his mind about wanting children from yes to no. The other 4 ended after. I didn't feel we knew each other well enough. I think the caveat here is that you make your own money and have a strong sense of self borne from accomplishment on your own. Of course, the intrinsic qualities of a man will be more important. But SOOOOOOO many women are not like you. Even if they are educated and making money, its almost done to bide time until they meet the guy with the great looks and fabulous job, somebody that their family and friends and society will approve of. Then again, I'm in a major metro area where this value system is maybe more prevalent than other parts of the country. My point is that there are a lot of great single women out there. Hmm perhaps it's the people you associate with then? My time is split between either coast of the US in 4 of the largest cities and in London. I'm speaking from experience of friends in all 5 cities. I'd say you're right about number 4' date=' but the guys I see who have the most success often go against the grain when it comes to the first three...[/quote'] Perhaps for short-term and with women who have less experience/confidence. But quality women? It is different.
