The problem then isn't bad odds, but how to motivate oneself to go about exploring and interacting.
I live in a conservative and economically depressed area. We do have our share of professionals, of people with thriving careers and impressive investments and so forth. It's not all meth and welfare by any means. But our DINKS are not doctors and lawyers, or accountants and engineers. They are part-time clerks at Walmart and part-time home health-aides. Success it seems here correlates so tightly with family-formation. To be sure, many people couple and reproduce without solid prospects for themselves or their children. Becoming a parent doesn't imply living a fulfilling life. But the reverse implication seems to hold; find a non-parent, and you find somebody with great struggles and frustrations. We don't have power-couples with the accouterments and accumulations of upper-middle-class suburban life, but without the kids.

I live in the Northeast, overall prospects aren't that great overall (been in the northeast since 2001 when i moved from California), there is a certain type of girl that i look for (she must be white and have a big butt, on top of the other factors I mentioned) which i don't feel is asking too much, but for the most part I see girls who while maybe pretty to look at (facially) are usually lacking in the butt area and for me that ruins it all, some may say i should expand my horizons and look at other ethnicities but I know what I like and I have been single this long if I have to keep waiting then so be it. If the right girl comes along I would not mind putting in the effort but I just have not seen many that do it for me.
