And yeah, Newbie gets it. It's possible to be HWP/thin and be off guys' radar entirely. It seems a lot of men don't realize how many women are invisible to them.
Yes, one of my long term single girlfriends is very thin and in good shape. She says she has to have a rock in body because she thinks her face is so plain. She says she gets hot on from the back all the time.

That seems so sad.

I'm a pretty dab hand at applying makeup, so I showed her how to artificially slim down her nose and highlight her eyes which are very pretty.

Another thing is that men at the top of their game with 6 figure salary with a degree from an Ivy league school, tall and waspy looking is hard to find. Also top tier men are either married early, or slutting it around with multiple women who want to be with them. It is really a sad reality. Some college educated careerist type women go with top tier guys who are already married hoping for a divorce. I knew a case of one woman career type from Indian background, she had to get an abortion from a well to do guy who was already married and she really wanted to be with him. NYC is full of late twenty something and thirty something women slutting it up and chasing well to do guys who bring nothing to the table for them. By 35 most of these women are still single and not married. Hey at least they can still get sex, but cant get a longterm relationship. By 35 women like the op need to have a change of heart for certain types of guys!

As for the op? I don't blame her sticking to her guns to find her ideal guy, however she needs to adjust her requirements because she is not going to find what she wants especially with age ticking faster than ever. She should open herself up to men who make less money, or even dating older. The op should have found her husband either in college or at the job like many other educated or career type women.
What I bolded is really true. I found myself in a very similar situation. Met my first serious relationship after she was a year or two out of college. I was 22 and she was 24. It was an easier time to date for sure. As I've gotten older, requirements have changed for both parties.

I'll ditto Jay and srjth. She has cute facial features and a nice physique, which adds up to what they said.

She'll stay younger longer and likely have to work less at it. Just has to stay away from the common sense bad things.
Oh, she's not "average," but I wouldn't ogle her for days and definitely think JJ's assessment is an exaggeration.

Connelly is striking. Charlize Theron is gorgeous, as is Emily Blunt. But then I have a thing for specific features and bone structure. I'm a face person.

I said she's average for a white woman. I didn't say average overall.

White women tend to have facial features which are typically within the standards of media beauty.

I think if you gathered 10 white random white women her age in a room, she'd be somewhere in the middle or so.

Too high.

She would be that for me. I think she's super hot.

But not overall in a consensus sense.

There's a difference.

I am a teenager but do live with extended family, have close relatives all in a social economic environment with conversations about life, death, business and living in a global world.

So this is not my experience because I am not experience yet BUT I can speak from experience of living with wise elders everyday.

Rai111 I think you are punking these people.

Lower upperclass women do what Ruth4Truth says

For example, the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco has once-a-week after-work gatherings for singles that are popular. You need higher-end venues than what you're doing now.

Part of your issue is simply that you're in a new location and feeling like a fish out of water. Give yourself time to get to know people and make friends. Also, learn to enjoy going out alone. It's great! Cultivate a sense of adventure in exploring your new location. Enjoy.
or pay between 50k-100k usa dollars for exclusive matchmakers. I think something like this. (not sure but an example so people can understand)

Morgan-Knight, London, UK
Exclusive Dating Agency | Millionaire Dating | Elite Dating Agency

Since I'm a teenager I won't be active much in talking threads because of my inexperience (plus people probably wouldn't like me talking with them), lack of wisedom plus most of my friends around the world are out riding motor bikes, playing video games, having hiking adventures, doing water sports, working on their music, attending specialized camps etc.

I'm here because I'm helping out a relative mixing music, looking out for tunes most haven't heard in between the World Cup games plus going to buy my new moped.

I can only really relate with the lady who has crushes on movie stars. Or people who don't mind having skype conversations.

But this I can speak about because of my environment.

Rai2111, It's not nice to waste people time.
