I don't "need" a man, as in, I don't "need" a man to support myself, be emotionally happy and stable, be able to handle my own ****, etc. Honestly, I expect ANY adult, regardless of gender, to be able to do those things.

 

I am happy with someone, though. Neither of us need each other, but we enjoy being together and it enhances both of our lives.

 

The OP sounds so defensive. And for someone so educated, it doesn't show with the use of "ur" instead of "your."

 

You may have all of the qualifications down on paper, but there could still be reasons why someone wouldn't want to be with you that have nothing to do with intimidation.

Yeah u r right. Something is wrong with me that a guy can say not interested before he knows anything about me, this site is so full of attacking people!!!

 

Oh ok im ugly now!! Lol! You're right being ugly will get me no where in life. Gosh i wish i wasnt so ugly to get thay alcoholic to unblock my number or to bring my ex back. If my ugly face just wasnt so ugly i could get u to like me. I m do ugly and unattractive no one looks at me and meen run. Lol. That what u want to here!? Lol!!!

 

If you are cute in physical appearance, I would look and maybe even think about approaching you but if the way you talk IRL is like these 2 responses, I would do all I can to avoid you completely.

If a woman has a high-powered career or lots of money and a silver spoon, or is just wealthy and accomplished she would roll ONLY with that type of crowd. I have yet to see Prince Harry dating the Dunkin Donuts counter girl. People tend to choose partners from the same/very similar social backgrounds when they have relationships, at least serious or long-term. Dating can be a pain in the a$$ if you step outside your pool, especially as a woman.

But she should just look for someone in her social category, with the same interests, values, future prospects and plans. I'm not trying to be Marie Antoinette here but it is perfectly logical and statistically proven that one has a better chance at having a successful, healthy relationship if one sticks with one's peers, OR for a woman to aim at something slightly superior. NOT inferior. It'll never work because women want a family, a provider, someone you can take at the office/parents' Christmas party. Guess she can't do that with a wino who doesn't even have a place to crash. No offense but we're all grown ups so let's think like some.

 

 

Here's the thing, grown-up- Let's just say that I'm a very emotionally, socially & even academically intelligent person. Astute, observant, and able to read those around me a way very few people are. Plus I tend to have knowledge on a huge array of subjects and world class skills in my line of work. Let's just say ;) Let's also say I'm very funny, generous and loving, and it's reflected in the circle of beautifully real friends I associate with. Many of whom are accomplished, amazingly talented creative/intellectual types. Go on to say that even career-wise, though I rake in under 6 figures, I am working with the biggest names in the world on a creative level.

 

Am I below the high-powered business woman I see eyeing me in the coffee shop downtown ? No no. In fact she's likely too soulless for me to even want to attempt connecting with her.

 

Should a prince be looking for his bride at Dunkin Donuts ? No. I can agree with you there. But who knows, maybe the donut girl's putting herself through school while writing the novel that's gonna put her on the map worldwide and leave her praised as a literary genius. Is she now a "good enough" human for a big, sh*t-taking, also human prince !?

 

I'm obviously not saying someone who's got their sh*t together should be dating a lowlife wino. And of course, people with relatively similar jobs & financial standing are more compatible. You just can't universally equate what people do for money, and how highly they're paid to their human "value". It transcends all of that. You think a rich, accomplished guy has never picked up a beautiful waitress, impressed her and made her his wife, only for her to realize he had no substance and didn't actually make her happy ?

 

That being said, I'm not gonna be looking for a girlfriend behind the counter at Arby's so on some level I feel you, guy.
