Of course!

Average looking women with a little bit of meat on their bones go to the island of misfit toys.

I already covered this...the education line is just a mask. It's really about the money. There are lots of guys with degrees that don't make a lot of money or are having a hard time in this economy. The ultra picky single women around 28 and up want a guy with a degree and big money both...whereas some will just look for money and that's it. The degree is a moot point they don't really care about that if the guy still only makes a very modest amount of money.

And when a woman posted she was interested in a guy with money you STILL took exception. She said advancing education "informally" and you go on a tirade that she demands a degree.... it was totally irrational.

I dont' think your problem is lack of degree or big bucks. But I also don't think anything will convince you of that.

Her guy, with the career, money, degree and looks didn't realize it either. A crappy attitude trumps everything else.

I said someone not overweight, not a model. I know what you're trying to do, paint me as someone that only cares about looks. That's the usual line women try to throw when they can't win this debate

Since last October, I haven't done much due to the job situation. So I guess I just can't say for sure, but I do sense that most of what you say is accurate. My ex-wife is a perfect example. 25-30 years ago, the woman would have stuck by the man unless there was abuse, addictions, or adultery involved. Today, this simply isn't so. You get married in front of God and God doesn't condone divorce except in the case of adultery. Do you really think that the over 50% divorce rate in this country is because of cheating? I certainly don't! I'm a loyal, honest, hard working, family-oriented kind of guy. Women say they want these things, but if that were true, I certainly wouldn't be single right now.

Have fun in Thailand! I'm jealous!
I can see where you're in kind of a bad way. Have you tried looking for unemployed women to date?

I know from your posts that you also want a younger woman so an older rich lonely woman is out.

The truth is, not too many women that are already here want to be the one working and paying for everything, not Americans, not Latinas, not Asians. And without a job, you can't afford to go to Thailand and it's not going to be as easy to get one of those green card wives.

I think you just need to concentrate on a job for now and once you're working everything will become more positive.

I just assumed you were someone who peaked in high school. Now you are bitter because all the hot girls want to date guys who did something with their lives and all you can do is sit around and think everyone else is wrong

No - I'm trying to point out to you that you feel that you are entitled to the type of woman that you desire. You talk about women with entitlement issues - but it seems like you are the one with entitlement issues. You think you are good looking, have enough money, have enough brains - therefore women should want to be with you. That is entitlement.

I'm athletic I run, play tennis, do fairly difficult hikes a woman out of shape couldn't keep up with me and our interests probably wouldn't match anyway. Everyone likes someone that is in shape it influences mental health, and sexual health in additional to all around physical health. That's different from the ultra picky checklist older single women have...they want looks and everything on top of that.

I have a cousin who is 60lbs overweight. I was 115lbs. She could outlast me in aerobics class.

That said, I have no problem with people having the right to date who they are attracted to. But if I found all the men I wanted didn't want me..... I sure as heck wouldn't blame the men. They have the same right.

Yes - for you I think looking abroad for a broad is the way to go.

Most American women that are your same age already have kids or have put on a couple pounds, and you and she would just be miserable if you found one. In Thailand, there are young women who don't mind an older American guy and middle class in their minds seems wealthy.

It seems that plenty of these marriages actually work out well enough. I'm sure it's not all bliss, all problem-free.
