Fairer sex?!?! lol....c'mon now, most women won't date men who are below a certain height EVEN when they are shorter than the guy! Then they have the audacity to call us on wanting slim/trim women
That has some truth to it. They want tall, dark, and handsome as well as loaded with cash. Not all females are like this but I do notice that they do want number 1 you be at least 6 ft and number 2, you need to earn a really good salary.
The other woman was a huge liar, and too insecure. Did you meet your husband via matchmaking?
Oh, so good you got out of those relationships.
Again: why do you keep asking if I met my husband via matchmaking? (the answer is NO by the way)
It seems such a random question, and you keep repeating it. Why?
It's not due to the fact that NYC has many individuals of varying degrees. Dating (aka mating) is hard in NYC because NYC pushes women to select mates from a purer Darwinian perspective than other parts of the country. If you or I were a woman, why would I go for an average male or a loser knowing that it will bring plenty of hardship in NYC. Especially when it comes to raising children.
Most individuals would like to thrive. Can we agree on that? Therefore, from a purely biological/Darwinian perspective, wouldn't you expect women to select "mates" in order to give themselves the best chance at thriving in a city like NYC? Furthermore, NYC does have a substantial amount of men who are thriving so what woman in her right mind, would not try to choose such a mate (at least initially)?
There is also another factor and it's the fact that many women are in better financial shape then they were in any previous time in American history. Firstly, if I'm a women in a good financial position with good career prospects, why would I even pick a mate that is at least not on the same level (for the most part that is what is occurring; people marry within the same socio-economic circles)? Secondly, many women do not feel as if they have to rush into marriage in order to live independently.
The way in which mating is playing out in NYC is very predictable. There's nothing extraordinary about it. NYC demands a certain amount of resources in order to live comfortably/ successfully and biology tells us that most women will try to seek out mates with those resources.
Not to be rude. But from your post, you sound like a real big time simp. Don't be offended and their is nothing wrong with being a simp. But what it sounds like here is that a woman must meet her equal, but at the same time a man must pay his way to be with a woman so that she can be financially sound. But yes, marriage is very high amongst educated people which is true and data backs up that claim. Women do not feel the rush to marry due to being married to their job, and this is mainly in urban areas of America. Outside of liberal inner city hip urban white America, marriage is very common, however not as successful compared to marriage of educated people in inner city hip urban white America. But I do agree, mating is very predictable here in NYC. Tall 6 foot 2, working for a firm, top college educated, living in a great neighborhood. A man like that will have a bunch of women landing on his feet. I actually known guys as such. I also known a guy, (Transplant) who did not want to move back home in white America, because he would not get any women. At his age, most of the women are married up. If not married up, the women divorced with kids. The age range is late 20s and early 30s where in his neck of the woods, women are taken or divorced, while in NYC, large portion of women in hip areas are still single at that age bracket and childless.
My current Gf is a masters degree holder, while my Ex was a grad from Stanford. All I have is a BS from CUNY.

I actually don't agree that any tall man working for a firm and college educated will have women landing at his feet.

Because you are Jewish and he saw Fiddler on the Roof.

On this subject, Bronxguyanese is pretty narrow minded. That's all.
