I hope you are right! Otherwise it would be quite disturbing, as, according to most men who post on this forum, women in America should stay at home, shouldn't pursue a career and stay a virgin until marriage. That's so old fashioned and reactionary.

Better get right on that, gals.

In my opinion, I agree. It's really hard to meet women these days. Ime, women have mean looks on their faces whenever I go into public or work. Why would I approach a woman who doesn't want to be talked to?
+1 Im kinda with you on that one. Then those are the same women that get on facebook and b**** about being single. Most women I see in public have nasty looks on their faces.
But to the OP, the appearance factor doesn't play a role in it(obesity, tattoos, etc). There is a buyer for every product.
I'd be content with finding a woman who I can blissfully grow and share my life with. I want her to be independent and into her own hobbies and lifestyle, but we will share some as well. She shouldn't rely too heavily on me, because that would indicate to me that she'd be too needy and controlling. Also, she'd have to be open-minded and willing to explore life with me. Our relationship would revolve around mutual respect, communication, and empathy. It would not be a relationship where one person overwhelmingly takes care of the other. It would be a partnership where we boost each other when we're down and inspire and challenge one another to excel in life and become a better person.
In a perfect world Lafleur, in a perfect world. LOL. This is what partnership is supposed to be, but nowdays......
Until all of those who have trouble dating figure out that the physical attributes only last so long and are not important dating troubles will be continuous throughout the entire dating life.

Exactly. The older people get the more EVERYONE'S body changes. A person needs to realize that HIS/HER body is going to wrinkle, sag, slow, hurt, soften, etc., just like those he/she is looking down on.
Dating is only hard for the socially impaired. Normal people don't seem to have much of an issue other than the fact they may have to wait awhile. Heck even butt ugly people with decent social skills can find a date.
Obesity doesn't really take anybody off the market.
A huge part of this nation is overweight, it is widely accepted or desired (I have been called too skinny and sick looking in VA, for example) and I see lots of overweight people who have loving partners.
I know there's data about people putting on weight after marrying, which probably applies to other committed relationships. I could cite surveys and studies, but common sense should be enough - overweight people are less desirable, especially among age groups where it's probably unnatural and more people are looking to enter into relationships.
In other words, the obesity epidemic is making things harder. And like another thread pointed out, it inflates the value of slimmer women. (Meanwhile, the probably false claim about acne was ignored.)
My frustration isn't much about the same old topics and people behind them, but rather the refusal of people to agree on problems and offer some hope for improving the dating scene.

Good grief, you make the dating scene sound like a disaster zone that we all need to come together to find a solution for. That's just ridiculous. The dating scene is made up of individuals, all of whom you have no control whatsoever over.
