However yes some blokes might get written off as only wanting one thing and unfairly in some cases , but it's usually the way THEY behaved/portray themselves that make a woman think that......

So in hindsight it's the blokes fault more often than not if you see what I mean mate?
Now if you are just talking about this scenario and not dating in general I apologize.

I live just outside of Chicago, Illinois.


I didn't state that the women I notice the guys with all have kids but I do see a good amount of non-fat, 6'+ tall guys with women who are considerably overweight around here.


The bald guys that I see with women mostly look to be in their 50's and 60's.

I think it can all be traced back to the daycare kennels most people were stuck in, as children. Having to routinely defend yourself against other children (many of them budding psychopaths), at an age when a young primate should still be at its mother's side (and protected by her, and her family group), can render you incapable of truly loving and caring for others.

I think that most people, today, are mere hollowed-out husks of humans. They're selfish and cynical. And they're incapable of being anything else. How can the level of unselfishness required for true bonding be expected of such people?

You can search your whole life, and never connect with someone who is emotionally intact. People are like a mass of Zombies, staggering around, looking for a live human with an intact brain. Just as Zombies sense that other Zombies have nothing to offer, and so do not attempt to eat each other, Daycare Survivors eventually reject each other - always looking for that 'real' person. But there aren't enough Real People to go around.

Looking behind the carefully constructed shells - the hot cars, the hot clothes, the toned bodies, the carefully-conditioned hair, the desirable degrees - there's hardly anyone left, who isn't one of the Undead.
I fully agree with this bit it's only part. Not only is it the lack of proper parenting it's all that comes into a growing persons life. Divorce of the parents, having to deal with others who're are little more than animals throughout life. All it's about is what can be gotten and how much. People cannot bring themselves to trust one another because you just don't know what the other person will do. There's no expectation of decency in society any more. There's no shame at all.

I sure haven't seen this in the places I've lived (Nor Cal, So Cal, NC, VA, PNW, and GA). Gorgeous men with plain Janes, overweight women or single mothers? Rarely do I see this. There are times I see very attractive women with much less attractive men, but even that's not something I see very often.

Incidentally, having lived in Chicago I think it is one of the easiest places for a regular looking guy to date a total babe.

Boston I see a lot more great looking guys with relatively average ladies.

Well I knew which post you meant as you said the one previous to the one you quoted


But yes it's more specific to this but now you mention it lets broaden it and go all out for dating in general mate

Like I said some men will wrongly be labelled and cast aside for only wanting one thing but more often than not women make there decisions on the man mainly on how he portrays and conducts himself.
So if for any reason he comes up short or doesn't make the right impression that's his fail not hers.

Surely you understand that and can't argue with?

Ps note to self you are as regular a member on here as I am YOU SHOULD KNOW there is no malice or finger pointing 9/10 tiimes with me and I'd much rather offer a different perspective and hopefully some advice
