It's crazy the difference between dating older and younger women

[awakenings]

I am helping my good buddy out by letting him stay at my house - he is divorced and trying to get up on his feet. His ex wife absolutely crippled him financially so he is dead ass broke - I told him he can stay with me for a while and not pay me any rent until he doing a little better. My buddy is also chubby and balding terribly (should shave his head, I dunno why he is holding on to the tiny bit of hair he has left).

 

So anyways, today he shows me a picture of a woman he is going out with tonight and she is a 39 year old global finance director at Mcdonalds - likely making about 300-500K a year. She is good looking - very good looking for her age actually, in nice shape, masters degree in business, very intelligent, looks about 5 years younger than her real age, super nice person (my buddy said she is awesome)

 

Meanwhile, if I approach a 25 year old at a bar who makes 30K a year and lives at home with her parents and who is just decent for her age appearance wise and she will inevitably turn her nose up at me and wants nothing to do with me every single time. Isn't this just crazy?? I can't get a girl who is 6 levels below my league to show interest in me meanwhile my buddy can get a girl a 100 levels above his league to go out with him. For reference sake, I'm 29, decent looking (people rate me around a 7-8/10), make close to 200K a year, have my own house, super nice car, etc...

 

When I approach women sometimes who end up being 35-40 (on accident because I think they are my age), they always love me also. My success rate with the 35-40 year olds is like 90% - my success rate with 23-28 year olds is negative 0%

 

Is it just a f*cked up generation nowadays where the average 24 year old girl has an unbelievably blown up ego and thinks she deserves a 10 when she is a 4 herself? Dating as a mid to late 20s straight man has to be the absolute worst in terms of any demographic out there

Is your friend humble and kind?

 

I'm sure you're a very nice guyed it sounds like you are doing well for yourself. However, you also seem to think very highly of yourself. Personally a guy with an overly healthy ego who refers to other people as being "levels" below him and talks about rating himself a 10 would be a huge turn off to me.

 

If you are meeting 35 year olds whom you find attractive and whose company you enjoy, why not try going out with one of them? A six year ago difference isn't that large.

Yes because men put a high price on young women so it's no wonder their ego's are blown up. Most men in their 20's are not having a hard time dating.

So finances are the difference between easy and high standard?

I don't think so, man..

Someone can know their personal value in a way that doesn't align with their wallet and still have high standards. Someone can be super wealthy and want anything and everything that breaths to fill their emotional tab.

Yeah, I highly doubt that.

 

I think your attitude of entitlement (to a "10") is the problem here, not your age, looks, income, or anything else. Maybe the "fours" aren't interested because they can tell they wouldn't be treated with respect because you think they are beneath you.

Pardon my typos...I don't have my contacts in yet.

 

It's not all about looks and fancy cars. When you assess other people, look for their character, not their age and income. Everyone grows old, and fortunes can change quickly. A solid character, however, can last a lifetime.

I don't want a woman with kids. Just about everyone I ever meet over 30 has kids

 

I'm not full of myself, I'm very chill in real life

I'm not looking for a 10, that's too high maintenance for me

 

I want a naturally cute and sweet 7-8/10...maybe a schoolteacher type. I care a ton about personality - I'm very loyal and loving and I want someone same way

 

the problem is if I approach women like that, my success rate is 0

[Lamartine]

I don't have kids, and I'm 36. My ex-husband and I didn't want them. Plenty of my friends are childless too.

 

My point is simply that, if you are having some success, why not pursue it? You have to work with the hand you're dealt.

I aim for excellence in all areas

I want to be very rich

I want to be very handsome and perfect physique

I also want to be a wonderful friend, brother, son, husband and dad

 

I go out of my way to treat my loved ones extraordinarily well
