You said you spend 250k a year so that's pretty exorbitant. Look, I'm not knocking you. Do it. Enjoy it. Live it up. But your opinions about dating are not going to be the experience of 99% of men.

I am trying to prove the fact that Seattle has a HORRIBLE dating culture. Everyone here is so introverted and flaky. Not to mention EXTREMELY difficult to find attractive woman who take pride in their self image. I have known for years(since like 13 years old, I'm 27 now) that by in large, socal is the place to be if your fit and into doing cool stuff outside. Here in the gloomy PNW, most attractive women are so into themselves and think their entitled to EVERYTHING, its difficult to even start a conversation. I have told so many people that Socal is the place to be for these things. Can anyone back me up here? Thanks in advance.

Whats with the pretentious, condescending mindsets and attitudes I see so much of from many people in socal? Is it really that important to "1-up" everyone and prove just how much more superior your interpretation of reality is? Do judgements towards others in the LA area really happen based on one little detail of a person? Jesus Christ no wonder so many people are fleeing this place in record numbers.

Smart? -- An overused compliment. Most people are, by definition, average. Average, not smart. Yet I've never met a woman who doesn't claim to be "smart." Women often confuse merely having the "right" opinion, or having a white collar job, with being "smart." It just means they're average.

Loyal? -- Loyalty is rare trait among women. I've met some loyal women, not many.

Honesty? -- Another rare trait among women. Even more so than men, women have a gift for rationalizing their misdeeds, and lying to themselves and others.

Outgoing, personable, active, in good shape? -- Yes, this applies to many L.A. women. Perhaps it's also true in Seattle. I don't know.

Creative? -- Again, over-stated. Women exaggerate their own talents. Bad poetry and self-absorbed personal "confessions" qualify as "creative" in many a woman's mind.

Fun? -- Sure, many women are fun, though many are not. I'll give you half a point on this claim.

Good nutrition is not that expensive. Junk food is more expensive than a simple bag of carrots at Vons. Fruits, vegetables, low-sodium soup are not expensive.

Good nutrition is largely a matter of what NOT to eat. Cut out red meat and carbohydrates (bagels, white bread, chips, cakes, donuts, etc.).

Food that is both nutritious and tasty (cooked by gourmets) can be expensive. But boring nutritious food is actually pretty cheap.

Boring nutritious food is super cheap.

However, from experience, you aren't going to win any hearts with a boring, healthy diet...

I live on about $250,000 a year. That includes all of my expenses. Taxes(which are considerable and will be for almost a decade more), paying my money people, helping out some family financially, living in a fairly expensive city and everything required to do so, and I spend a lot of money on entertainment and hobbies, like games, music, movies, books and comedy shows. Gym membership, personal trainer, good groceries and personal health items don't really add up to that much. I have friends who have a lot less money than I do and are paying for those things and no one would tell them they're somehow outside the normal dating pool.

Come on, who ever just eats a bag of carrots for a female?

I'm talking about being a physically fit male and trying to eat right.

It is pricy to eat a high protein diet.

Chicken breasts, egg whites, protein powders, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lean steaks.

It's easier to live off del taco or mcdonalds, but it won't get you the body to get dates with women.

The richer you are, the easier it is to look good.

Even stuff like massages, facials, waxes

Then the advanced weird stuff like fat freezing

But forget all that. There's a lot of ultra rich guys who look like crap. They still get the hottest women because they're rich.

You need to rethink this sentence.

It's a myth that you need to consume tons of protein all day to build/maintain muscle. All that crap like "1 gram of brotein for every pound you weigh" is BS. You need some protein, but not tons. Getting that much protein is bad for your organs. Body builders and gym rats always have health problems because their organs are all jacked up from all the protein and supplements they consume.

Easier yes, cheaper no. I can buy 3 pounds of frozen chicken breasts for the price of a Big Mac and a pound of rice for the price of a soft drink. Laziness does not make eating fast food more logical.

[disgruntled la native]

You're not gonna look like a bodybuilder or gym rat unless you eat that much protein. They don't have health problems unless they use steroids or weird preworkout mixes. Simply eating a lot of chicken breast and egg whites isn't unhealthy.

People who work don't have time to be cooking healthy meals all the time. They only have time for the del taco drive thru.

Getting way off topic though. Forget all this personal appearance stuff - you can look like Phil Spector and get the hottest women just by being rich.
