I'm not following. Is your tone good or bad? Either way, it's practical, and if there are people who are on the same wavelength after having gone through such a grind, it would be them.

Woo-hoo. With law school, it's different. The guys I knew who went to law school said the same thing.

Fat women could lose weight too, but they don't HAVE to. They will still have plenty of options. Very few women are easy, desperate, sure-things. Yet plenty of men are. Clear proof that men are at a disadvantage.

I've seen dual-doctor situations work it out. True, it isn't the most intimate of households for their kids, but they seem to do ok.

I guess it's ok to marry the bimbo if she's a nice person. If she's of the "decoration on a man's arm" variety, then he probably shouldn't.

Here's another thing. Women in medical school don't date "down," even into other professions. The pre-health professions group is one that starts segregating itself from others during the university experience.

WAIT A MINUTE.............FAST FOWARD


Nerdy guy is now 37 and he's no longer nedy looking, he's transformed his body to a lean muscle machine and he's spent the last 15 years working on his career and building his business. He now earns a high 6 figure income and is well traveled.


Oh, wait a minute............NOW YOU WANT HIM.


Yes, the above story is real and it happens.


I say, to heck with her. She's no longer the cute 20 something girl, she's now 35 and used up and has had a series a bad relationships and a divorce.

Yup, this happens to guys all of the time.
So if this happens to you all the time are you bragging or complaining? How many times has it actually happened to you?

Actually, I know a lot more overweight men with hot women than the other way around. Do you ever get tired of looking for things to get upset about?

Life isn't fair.

Hi Ipfan921--

^^ This.

There are far more men than women who are willing to settle for anything. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of women who waste their time on unemployed alcoholics, outlaw bikers, and prisoners - but even the most butt-ugly women I know of could have several partners at the snap of a finger if they wanted to. The bottom-of-the-barrel guys, on the other hand, would only have a chance if they took a drive into the hood with a couple hundred bucks in their pockets.

That's for sure. And you have made it very clear that you have no sympathy or compassion for the unfairness I have experienced. Hopefully someone else will. For someone who claims to be a nice person, you sure do have a lack of sympathy for men who struggle in the dating world.
