Well ... what do you have? I'm waiting.

You can check my posts in the education section to see what I've got.
You are entirely missing the point. To start, the title of this thread states that your reasons for success or failure in dating, relationships, etc rests entirely upon you. It can be positive or negative. Second, the point of this thread is that if you want change in your life that change has to come from you. Nobody is going to change for you so that you have better luck in love. Third, I'm not sure what you're waiting for. The purpose of this thread is not to showcase creds. You can be a scientist or a waiter. An MD or an artist. A HS grad or a college grad. Beautiful or ugly. Christian or Atheist. It makes no difference.

I agree. There must be awareness on some level. Although, this is one thread focusing on the three fingers pointing back at us (for once).

So should people have a number branded on their head figured out by their education social skills and looks and only be allowed to mate with the same number?

Does it matter? Can someone please explain to me the benefit of ignoring the reality that people tend take up with their own? I don't see the point of it, especially for those who are looking for the relationships they don't have.

WHat is "their own" you make it seem like its the most simple thing to quantify..Just because you hit on what you think is "your own" doesnt automatically mean that person is gonna think the same

You seem to want to box people in to simply stats and have them mate accordingly..Attraction is not as mechanical and robotic as you make it

She means that people tend to stick with others who are from similar backgrounds : SES, education, career, ambition, etc. Do you not agree?

It has nothing to do with what I want. My views don't change people. What I'm saying is that if you're you're looking to get with a Muslim man, for example, you're going to have more luck if you're a Muslim yourself who attends to whatever religious gatherings Muslims attend vs some other religion (Christian, Pagan, etc). It's common sense. Common sense some tend to ignore.

What's interesting is that when I started this thread I wasn't thinking about education or career really, but more so values, priorities, and sure the former and everything else that fits under the umbrella. If she wants a fit man than she should be fit herself, engage in activities that fit people engage in. What I see on this forum is people pointing fingers outward and the exercise is fruitless. We can only change ourselves. I also believe in something another poster mentioned earlier this morning (be the person you want to attract, or something like that). In the end, the interpretation of the one line OP and the internet mirror is going to be different for everyone.
