Girl...trust me, there is nothing wrong with you. Been in your shoes, not too long ago. Most of my girlfriends that are still in NY, in their 30s, attractive, very successful in their careers, and totally have it together, and they are single. Very single. When I was in NY, i was dating but these men did not want to settle down. NYC has been, and will continue to be, the place to make money and to be single--indefinitely. I don't know what to tell you. But basically, you've got millions of other women in competition with you. The men in NY work hard and play hard. If you want to settle down, move to the country.

I think the question has to be: What have you done so far? It's largely a matter of what sort of things you do to meet people. I'm in favor of joining a few groups, taking a few classes, volunteerting for a political candidates. There are certainly those options in abundance in NYC.

If I lived in NYC I could solve your problem.
But I don't.

Doesn't give me a negative impression...in fact, even if it's not true...you're ruining my fantasy!

Default Want the truth...

Why would a man settle in NYC? If I am making it in NYC then obvious I am a successful guy. Maybe we can hang out, but unless you are a 10, then why would I stick around when five other 10s just walked by as single as you.

As I age, I keep on getting more successful and the women just keep getting younger.

Truth.

Flattery will only get you so far. Besides I was stating option, not fact.

Let’s just say the Trump types don't really need to be 10's themselves to have 10's by their sides.

I will just toss this out there, why should single, successful, good-looking, men ever settle down?

How will you ever know for certain if a woman only wants to spend time with you for your money? Don't you want to be appreciated for more than your material success? Seriously, do you have anything more to offer? It seems kind of sad to me that you're content with a woman (more like a series of women) with so little life experience and wisdom. It takes time to develop those traits.

Dear GreenBeans,

Your situation repeats itself in many places. I wish I could offer encouragement, but in my opinion, finding love is pure coincidence.

I think men aren't evaluated for quality in the holistic manner that women are.

Again, you are assuming I flash money or something.

Want to know a good way to test if a woman is with you for a meal ticket? Go out to lunch, 1st date or 2nd date, and as the bill comes, push it across the table and watch for her reaction.

Obviously I wish to be appreciated for more than material success. I have more to offer as well, but you have missed the point.

Men with options, why should they settle down?
