I say that also but it is not a popular opinion.

I am 32, single and never had a long term relationship. That inspite of the fact that I have a very good dynamic personality, am well read, etc(friends have told this to me on numerous occasions) made me feel there was something wrong with me. It doesn't help that I am often stereotyped negatively due to my ethnicity(Indian American) but it is what it is.

I guess I have to content with the fact that what you said is the absolute truth.

Don't buy into gender-bashing cr@p. Having a career doesn't make anyone "high and mighty"; it just means they have a job path that they like. Where do you live? Some regions have fewer biases re: Native people than others. And what kind of women are you looking for? Are you looking mainly for good character, or are you looking for the top 20% looks-wise? Choices and priorities can affect one's success.

I am not gender bashing anyone here. Just stated my experience. And I never said having a career made me high and mighty, plenty of my White friends with the same careers or even lesser careers have made it great without even trying much. I am not complaining though, that's the way the world works I guess in the US. I live in San Francisco and as for the kind of woman I am looking for, I am looking for an average woman with a great personality not necessarily the top 20% looks-wise although a pretty woman never hurts.

You completely misunderstood my post. I was referring to the post you quoted and deemed to be "the absolute truth".

The Bay Area is big for interracial dating, and that goes for the Native guys, too. I'm from there myself, and move in those circles to some extent. I can't speak specifically about Tinder, though. Attend Native community events that are open to the public, and try Tinder on those occasions, see if you get better results.

The Bay Area is big for interracial dating only if you fit a certain parameters. The only two kinds of interracial dating that you see here happens to be White men with Asian women, or Black men with White women. NO other form of interracial dating is accepted anywhere in the Bay Area except unless of course the woman is looking for Mr.Beta bucks who she can settle down with. If you aren't a White guy none of the ethnic women here are interested in you because their view of what defines you as a successful man is exclusively White and euro centric. You would know that if you are from here.

Please don't quote instances of gold diggers that settled down with an Asian or Indian doctor or CEO, those women primarily did it for their love of money not due to the love of the person that provides that money.

I know quite a few Latinas and white women with Native guys. The thing about women looking for money is a crock. Oh, but you're not American Indian (Native American), you're Indian American? Sorry, I misunderstood you. Still, you'd be surprised (and incredulous, I'm sure) to hear that there are women of all stripes who think you guys are hot. Hotness varies with looks, as it does for anyone. More average types (which is most people) need to find avenues for meeting people that allow their personality to be noticed more. Join the club.

Do you get involved in community activities much? Volunteering, joining or starting your own hobby groups, participating in co-ed sports leagues or hiking or boating clubs? Attending travel seminars? Anything like that? That's what others do, who want to meet someone to date.

If you're one of those who psychological issues impact relationships, then you have to actively work on reversing or mitigating those effects.
Yeah. The Way I see it, is that your mind is like any other muscle, it wears over time due to experiences of life physical and mental. I just assume anyone at least 25 years at least has some psychological and or emotional damage just for living that long, people need to check up on themselves

Some aren't.

It's nurture more than nature in this case.
