You claim that women in the US don't know what they want, have high expectations and are hostile to male approaches. However, you then rant about how you're 26 years-old, about to graduate with a great degree, good-looking, caring etc but can't find a relationship. What are you looking for and how high are your expectations? There are plenty of men out there who have less or had less and are able to find relationships with great women.

Exactly. Divorce rates are what, 60%? And you said it perfect, "I have met many who have less", college graduates of our generation have the lowest marriage rate in history. If expecting, no, longing for a healthy, balanced, sincere, equal relationship is illegal than lock me up.

I am in the works of designing a business with a goal in mind to help people connect with others from distant countries. Although a website would be used for advertising and data structure, the business itself would be so much more. The intent would be to create a community with a single goal of living a balanced, healthy, educated lifestyle and sharing it with someone special.

I beg to differ. I feel there is a growing demand for this, however, we will see.

A 26-year-old, college-educated male model who is also nice and caring, yet can't find a decent relationship? Men who have far less than you are successful, so could there be something else at work? I would start with the notion that 999 out of 1000 women are "not so great." If you don't like women, they're not going to like you either.

especially women, do not seem to understand what they want. They seem to juggle between different identities hoping to have it all, or maybe none.

it is not like walking up to a wall of ice and having to chisel your way through to see what’s on the other side. I have noticed American women tend to be extremely distant.

Dating norms, so we want to be equal yet these remain?
Why am I still forced to pay for the dinner of a woman who constantly reminds me of her independent status?

Materialistic, vapid, and misandrist attitudes. I cannot get over how materialistic and vapid American women can be.

Deleted. Not participating in a discussion for a business, not that I would have helped anyway.

Julia I love women. I never said 999 out of 1000 women are "not so great." I was simply stating that the mass majority of American women have been swept up in a negative social standing. If you read the rest of my post, then you will see what else is at work.

I'll respond more in depth to this when I have time.

However, if you're creating a program to unite and connect individuals of similar beliefs and ideals in a balanced community, then that sounds like a much better and more positive advertising platform then unfairly bashing women from the US.

They're not nearly as bad. Women in the United States have much more in common with British women than Canadian women.

There's definitely an underlying issue he didn't bring up. That description fits me, only I'm 20. I have never had a problem. And yes, there are definitely those not as fortunate in the looks department that have succeeded and done well for themselves.

Are you asking for dating advice or collecting research for your business? The former is allowed; the latter is not.
