I am talking about meeting a woman and getting married and having a few kids if it does not happen in like 5 years or so i never going to happen . I feel like my window is closing on becoming a father.

I do not want to be a old guy having kids or be an old dad .

If i was very good looking then yea i could see it sure but I am not i am only above average looking IMO.
Sounds like self-esteem is your worst enemy. That guy I knew, not attractive really. I'd say a notch below average. His wife? Very pretty. Not beautiful, but everyone would say she's pretty. But he doesn't have a self-confidence/esteem issue like you do. He approached that pretty girl and asked her out.

At this point, you have only yourself to blame.

Stop talking like that. When you get into your 60s as I am, you'll think back and realize you still had 30 years to make good for yourself. The major factor would be if you had children, but lacking children there is zero difference between 25 and 30.

25% + percent being 150k yearly is hialrious. I guess it's true 90% of women go after 10% of men. Ha! Don't believe, well, those poll results don't lie...

Of course if we go with the median the results make a lot more sense, but why do that?

On the thread asking men about women, one poster said he voted that high in both polls, including this one for women. Obviously this is not a scientific survey with objective results.

That and if you "believe" these polls, 37% of men want a woman to make over $150k and 29% of women want a man to make over $150k. so using Proudpirate's logic, what does that say about men? Does that mean 95% of the men only want 5% of the women or something because "polls don't lie?"

Screw the rent payments and jewelry and whatever else golddiggers want, if I was single I'd just have a guy make monthly payments to the veterinarian.
