Every woman you don't get along with doesn't have BPD, i'm sure.

Americans are fat overall, not just women. College campuses, especially the higher ranking ones, are disproportionately upper middle class or higher and there's a negative correlation between class and weight.

College towns and yuppie type areas will have higher % of good looking women (and men) than other areas.

When I was working in downtown LA, I definitely felt like a kid in a candy shop. Attractive women at every glance. The only downside is that you get too used to them being around, so when I got transferred back to the suburbs, my days feel empty without all the eye candy, even though there are still an appreciable amount of attractive females out and about.

It's amazing to find someone who thinks the same. Wanna go out on a date?

As far as I know, I've always been this way.

If I had to put a number to it, I'd say 70% or so would be attractive and probably 40% cute or higher.

But that doesn't mean I'll date anybody. Personality would filter out the ones I'd go for.



Those are some high standards man. That's pretty much the equivalent of only accepting women who are models or could be models. Honestly, I can't even think of a woman I know personally who is in the top 1%. Even my most attractive female friends don't really come close.

And for her to be 'cool' on top of that, you might be talking about a woman who doesn't exist.

Well ... good luck.

Well he better be in the 'top 1%' himself, to be asking that of someone else.

I've known women in the 'top 1%' and since they have the pick of litter over the rest of us, they don't just go for any fool.

the same ones with really high, picky standards are the same men that claim women don't give them a chance because they're the 'nice guy.' LOL.

High possibility of BPD?

Born after/before 1970? - wall territory, doesn't count.
Born after 1980? - 20/80
Born between 1990 -1993? - you better brace yourself!

Have you ever seen me talk like that, even once? I'm extremely content with my life. I'm not a hypocrite, I simply don't want a girlfriend. I have pretty high standards, and I am quite happy with where they are at.

I don't really need people telling me where my standards should be, because frankly .. none of you know me.

Reminds me of a funny story from my late teens when I was working at a quick lube place. Had one of my employees go on a rant because no hot women customers had come in that day and it was bumming him out. (just as an FYI ladies, if you ever go to a Jiffy Lube type place and one of the guys tells you that your serpentine belt has cracks in it and you need to take a look at it, and you happen to be wearing a dress or skirt, DON'T DO IT.) He then decided to go on and on about fat chicks and how if a woman is over 130 lbs she shouldn't leave the house etc etc. and then asked me how much I weighed. I said '165' and it shut him up because I was quite thin at the time. Men usually have NO IDEA what women weigh and I think many of them would be surprised.

Regardless, There are a lot of overweight people out there (I'm one of them, by about 7 lbs) but it's perfectly ok for a man to be overweight or even obese because it's 'manly' for some reason. Women, however...sheesh. It's amazing how many of the women men seem to drool over are clinically underweight.

The only people who think it's ok for a man to be fat are fat men.

So no... it ain't ok to be fat.. man, woman... doesn't matter.
