That have to have enough money to provide gifts and a comfortable lifestyle to that young woman. And Dr. Clean, fitness has nothing to do with it. They appreciate you being fit, yes, but first and foremost they want your money.

I am 35. This is what she wrote me.

It isn't like I made a huge list that I see on women's profiles.
I cringe whenever I hear or read a girl describe herself as being "very attractive." I dislike ego (or at least excessive ego), and announcing that one is very attractive just reeks of arrogance and self-centeredness. I'm biased in favor of more humble, understated types of individuals. But of course, we are all different and like and dislike different things in people as well as in all other things.

One of the reasons that I dislike the online dating world is because so many of the profiles seem to be written by people who have an inflated sense of self-importance and worth. I mean, it's great to have confidence and to like yourself, but the ego/arrogance in online dating (as well as in the overall dating arena itself) is overwhelming. So many peacocks ruffling their feathers and acting as if they are the latest and the greatest.

Imho, she reacted because she is now a single mother. A lot of men are losing interest in mature women with kids.They dont want to take on responsibilities for raising someone elses kids.

I haven't heard of a lot of women losing interest in mature men with kids, though, why do you think that is?

Yeah , putting it very very politely l found online back when l tried it unbelievable in that way too . There was a lot , a lot , of very ordinary at best , women , with the most ridiculously unrealistic demands and expectations .
But this one with op , l mean she's a lot older,. she wants out of her country , of course she's going to lecture. And yeah l'd have to wonder about the l'm very attractive part of things too.
Truth is though op's wants seemed very realistic to me he was basically only looking for what he was offering himself.
Although the no kids was gonna make it a bit of a challenge at that age.


PS , that was nearly 5 yrs ago , anyone know what happened, op's probably married off with 5kids himself by now haha.

A lot of the picky men I used to date are still single after all these years.
