How is there any way to compare George Clooney and Jeter to the run of the mill dude in DC? This isn't even an accurate comparison when most men here are not actors or athletes. I could see that comparison work in a place like LA where more men are focused on their appearance, but in DC? HAHAHA
But you are making my point exactly Chariega. I need more time with you but I know other thoughts from different posters will come between us. It comes down to social dynamics and the understanding of it.
Clooney and Jeter comparison has absolutely nothing to do with the run of the mill dude in DC. Absolutely nothing. I was refering to your comment age in saying that DC Bossman at his age was able to contrast and understand the social dynamics surrounding these guys. These types, and there are many jeter/clooney types, ride solo when chick hunting. They are the leaders of the pack.
Same way both women and men in the DC area should be able to contrast the different social dynamics but many don't and why they fail. The one with hard times often chase those that aren't part of their circle, which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with age or financial status but on a deeper genic level. Jeter, no matter his status, will always attract models. Clooney, will always attract a certain type of woman and their ages will get younger as he ages. I know many struggling clooneys and they pick up like magnets and they aren't even wealthy.
That's why Eastern European woman love men. Strong confident men. Many of them don't like the brad pitts or the boyish look. They are looking for strength and a lot has to do with where they are from and the harsh conditions in eastern europe. Why do you think so many from that region are tall with big backs? So many scrawny fratty men in DC will go chasing russian or serbian women and be met with a stop. Ever see the Serbian bouncers in town? Their world strongest men in that region crush rocks with their bare hands.
I'm beginning to see your point. Sounds like some of these guys belong on the Relationships forum, where they'll learn very quickly that they are the problems in their dating lives, not the women they meet. Anyone who gets up there and assigns characteristics to an entire gender of people is guilty not only of sexism, but intellectual and emotional sloth. Good luck with that. I can see why the women of DC don't want them.
Yeah I agree they should go there so they can see that their problems are experienced by people who do dating in general. After that I would recommend people talk to a counselor to help them realize it again and learn how to cope with whatever it is they're feeling that leads to resentment or trying to overanalyze everything in search of some truth about X place.
Any time someone starts drawing parallels between the average man and George Clooney, I know he's living in a world of hopeful delusion and naivete.
And no, women who are 22-25 generally do not want to deal with men in their 30s, because they themselves are figuring out their careers and who they are.
So much delusion about men, women, and aging here, spewed out by people who aren't even 30 yet. It's a joke.
I don't think we particularly disagree. It wasn’t a comparison that bossman made. And my defending him had more to do with his ability to contrast the social interactions between the Clooney and jeter types, which have nothing to do with DC. It’s just contrasting as emphasizing the difference of social interactions with the women they choose rather than comparing their similarities to the area. There are many of those types of clooneys, of jeters, of you, and me. The human species has only but so many human templates.
You pointing out the age difference is also something I don't disagree with. As I said, it has to do with social circles and understanding how to pair with another congruently, not necessarily having to do with age. Yes, some younger women or men may dabble within another age group but older folks tend to choose more on congruence- status and on a genetic level.
Problem is that in DC, and often, NOT ALWAYS, because of the lack of social dynamic skills and more social networking skills, people chase randomly expecting to get the same congruent results they did when they were in their zone high school, college, or home.
I am going to throw something at you that you perhaps won't understand but it's deep. Below are two videos of George Clooney look-alikes. The difference between the two is life exposure. The look-alike of the top video is a bit more hardened where the look-alike below is a bit more awkward and isn't as confident- contrast. But they work in the field of Business Supplies and Equipment.
Here is jeter look-alike. There is also a sense in confidence in this type and the women that are congruently attracted to jeter are also attracted to him. Obviously fame plays a role but there is a 95% chance that the GF/wife of the guy in the video is a bombshell.
The difference between Mike the situation and derek is upbringing. But why do you think mike was such a likeable character on the jersey shore show and has since become a star? It's the human template at work.
lastly, congruence has to do with ever lasting, not short term dating. You can pretend to be wealthy and strong but if there is no follow through, things won't work. If a woman pretends to be warm, caring, and loving at first but turns out to be a work-aholic (because of the professional atmoshphere) it won't work.
Men have to choose correctly and women have to open up to who she thinks will have follow through. Men have to seek and women have to choose. It's 2015 but not a thing has changed. It's still all about human mate selection...
It seems I have to remind you all this is the DC forum. Dating in DC is a popular topic and I don't mind it being discussed - as long as it's actually the topic, not just a pretext to post things that would be better suited for the relationship forum.
Yac.
Dating in DC is unique which is why I posted it here instead of the relationship forum. Most of the posts coming from men for this thread are depressing. It feels like there is no hope for single, older women. I guess it is still a mans world.

It goes both ways. Dating is no joy ride in general. However, I do think its tough for both sexes here in DC. It's not a man's world or I would be able to find a nice woman. Again, DC is easy to date and hook up. If you're looking for someone long-term I have yet to meet anyone who has. If I got eye contact from women I would make a move most likely. Women rarely give eye contact to anyone in this city, let alone a smile. It's depressing but true.
