I would say I am really looking for someone on equal footing career wise, I have worked very hard to achieve a wonderful career position at my age in the mid twenties. Looks wise I am not looking for a model, but more of a normal/cute type
Improvement wise, sure I could go to the gym more etc. But I already have many city data pros such as height, good career, confidence, outgoing personality....mostly i think i actually mostly need to just go out and put myself out there more. ?

It sound like you already are what career women would want. Generally someone with similar background, drive and earning potential. If you pay attention to the posts by women and not some of the men of CD the consensus is that what is on the outside isn't as important as what is on the inside.
I think your right, you just need to put yourself out there.
On the contrary, it's the white-collar fellow who can apply his engineering skills to the problem. I've met numerous professional roofers who can't properly change brake-pads. It is precisely the most fanatical fans of NASCAR who understand the least about NASCAR suspension tuning, carburetors, aerodynamic downforce, tire technology or roll-cage structural integrity. It's the Bud Lite crowd that understands the least about ales vs. lagers, the various seasonal beers, the wheat beers and the various flavorings.
This just sorta cracked me up. Spoken like a true engineer with blah blah blahhhhh tossed in for good measure. Engineers are really their own breed. But while you're analyzing the forces at work, Mr. Stick a Plug in that Bad Boy and Get Back on the Road has solved the riddle of the sphinx with the clever use of... sticky rubber and pincher pliers.
But seriously now.
What about my post makes you think I care if a man understands the difference between a lager and an ale so long as he's totally enjoying the beer he's drinking right now?
Why would I expect a roofer to understand aerodynamic downforce? I'd expect a roofer to understand the basics of roll cage structural integrity based on what he does for a living, but I wouldn't expect him to understand a thing about carburetors unless he has a project car.
And finally... what?
Just... What is this drivel you've posted? Do you even understand what you've posted?

He's saying that he has no problem if you like guys who get 'er done (and he thinks some white collar guys can do that too). And that what he's down on is the trailer-trash obsession with bling. And probably outward appearances in general (this last bit is my interpretation).

Ya, I know I gotta put myself out there. Ugh I thought all the best women would be all over me by now, but that is not the case haha!
Tried twice with two different workaholic mentality women, one being an incredibly beautiful asian gal whom I found to be perfection in my eyes. Nope, even with the looks, it was horrible. Never, ever again.
Most career women don't have time to be good partners. They are usually best for friends with benefits arrangements as they are always "busy". Try to have higher standards. Career women often value money and power over relationships.
Don't confuse job with career though. Very different things.
OP, find a girl who you can laugh with. If you have the same sense of humor and the same values that is half the battle.
I think that career girls are just regular women who happen to have a career. It is harder to date one because flashing your money or profession is not as impressive. I know girls who will date a guy just because of his career but career women usually look beyond that because their career is just as impressive. Several times guys have approached with their professions or showing off and I don't say anything but I know that those lines work for them when used on other women.
Avoid "lines". Be yourself. You don't have to buy her like you may (feel that you) have to with women who are not professionals. You can have a better relationship with someone who you consider your equal rather than someone who may be more impressed with your title than they are with your character.
Good luck.
