Your situation is as anecdotal as his is general

I am also 5 feet tall and he is 6 feet. I didn't date him because of his height. I liked him before I even knew what he looked like. In the past I have dated tall and short men. I have been interested in short men (5'5" and under) but they were not interested in me.

Please continue with your generalizations of women in my age group.

don't use a website to meet a wife. what an awful idea. create a profile on dateinasia and see how many times girls try to scam you.

just spend time in in the PI.

Well if you knew that this is the way things were going to be why did you wait to try and find someone and get married? I mean if this is how you really feel then you knew what was going to happen if you didn't get up and get out there and find a lady. You failed to out compete other men for the female resource. That is what it boils down to right?

I maintain that most American women are fantastice and taken. Whats left for the man who doesnt marry in the 18 to 24 year old window is undsireable.
Yes this is exactly my point across numerous threads it's not the women as a whole it's what is available once you reach a certain age. A man that is a late bloomer is at a huge disadvantage if he's looking for marriage. I think there are some good ones left still around 26 or 27... but after that it's pretty much game over. What's left in the pool after that...I don't even want to get into it again.

The last 5 women I attempted to date were in the 28-33 range. All 5 were complete flakes with major personality flaws or the ultra-picky "I deserve a 10 that is loaded" syndrome. One of those 5 is the one that stood me up for an event I bought us tickets for. It was NOT a cheap event. I could probably snag up a decent one around age 27 or so but she would have to be open to the age difference. If I don't find her this year or next in America I will most likely go foreign for sure I have already started to save money for the travel expenses.

No one meets a wife on a site. They meet a person they might be interested in and then take it from there. I love the way its OK for an American to go to match dot com to look for a partner but if its overseas its automatically a scamming, prostitute looking for a green card

I am not unique. There are lots of women out there like me. However, these men only see what they want to see. I have no sympathy for them.

C. Your blathering about single mom births is irrelevant. The high divorce rates among late teens and early 20-somethings result in young single moms.
D. Lets hope it's your wife who is in charge of educating your children.

If you are going to take a bigoted position and have the gall to charge MILLIONS of people you do not know, which is a pretty big position to take, at least do so intelligently and intelligibly. Alot is not a word. You have the grammar of a 3rd grader.

i went into the Navy when I graduated HS leaving behind a sweetheart that was definately marriage material. When I got out of the Navy I went to college. Unlike alot of the kids who were being supported by their parents or on scholarships I had to work and go to shcool full time. Besides that 4 years made a difference in that alot of the kids I wnet to school with were already through school and married. After college there was literally NO ONE there. I ended up dating a series of single mothers with various baggage and even then was willing to commit to several who didnt feel the same.


Its OK, I went to the PIs where there are many many adult single women looking to start families. It took some time and the with the help of technology I am a very happy man. Its OK to seek a partner over seas

Its OK

No it's not. The median age for marriage in the US is the late 20s.
