I am not desperate because I am single. I am single because I am not desperate...

People who claim they are single because they are picky have to look themselves in the mirror. “I’m single because I’m picky or because I don’t settle” really means I want to date out of my league. Let’s be frank, if you dated within your league, you wouldn’t be single. Some people just can’t accept that they aren’t as great as they believe they are. A 6 should date a 6. When you want to date 8s, you’ll be single forever.

The truth. Frame it. Funny, the only useful comment on this thread gets no attention. Probably caused some unwelcome introspection.

In my office, as we mention unrealistic things like the above example of @former trader, we always say to the dreamers : "Don’t worry. Your dreams are not taxed. Keep dreaming ! "

and the dreamers would reply with a quote by John Lennon

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.”

And what do you have to say about beautiful housewives dating young men behind their rich husband’s back???

Which leagues do they belong??

What about this phenomenon?

I’ve noticed that many attractive women go through 3 stages in the first part of their dating lives.

Stage 1 (16-23 yrs old):

Girls just want to have fun as Cindy Lauper so famously stated. They hook up with the guy that gives her the biggest thrills, the guy that lives on the edge. He’s usually the most popular with a lot of status relative to other boys. Girls here just get things for being young and hot. One day she blurts out “I want to be on a boat”, the next day she’s on a boat. One day she blurts out “What’s France like?”, the next thing you know she’s living in France for 3 months rent paid.

Stage 2 (24 - 29 yrs old): They are starting their careers at this stage. Their standards increase. They’re naive because they think they can get it all: a man that can sweep them off their feet, successful, assertive, outgoing, confident, tall, dark, great sense of humor, handy man, sensitive, intelligent, conversationalist, great in bed, thoughtful, romantic, understanding, family oriented…that will be faithful only to them. That is a high reward, low risk proposition. Those who studied capital markets know that that equation doesn’t work.

Stage 3 (30 - 39 yrs old): There are 2 subgroups at this stage: divorced women and those that never married because they were too picky (read: wanted to date outside their league and couldn’t pull it off). They lose their naivety here. They accept the fact they won’t meet the man that’s got it all. They understand you can either have 1) the successful man that will give you a comfortable lifestyle but won’t give you any emotional investment or have 2) the guy that has low ambition but that gives you emotional investment. Women at this stage keep rotating between those 2 men because neither one can satisfy them long term. In the first case the lack of attention given by the man makes them feel unloved. In the second case, the lack of ambition of the man makes them lose respect for him.

@krazykanuck

^ Yeah I saw the same thing at a happy hour I went to tonight for this group I’m in. There are these 2 chicks, one is also an 8-9, hot, redhead. Sh*t what I’d do to have sex with her. She’s best friends with this short, roundish, 5. It’s like they say, every group of hot chicks needs a fat girl.

I hope you approached and gave the 5 more attention.

^Word. Scorinig with a 5 is better than striking out with a 9.

There’s a reason why lions always go after the lame, injured wildebeest instead of the healthy, fast one.

Too true but dude most guys are shallow and vain. Just like their counterparts most girls are idiots.

You don’t have to concern yourselves with them. There are tons of women who understand the concept of loyalty, have a personality blah blah.

I don’t think men should shy away from holding on to such women just because their value will increase with age or something. I’m not saying get married or anything but at least give it a real shot.

@igor:Sir with all due respect you need to work hard on your english spelling and pronunciation skills.I have noticed that you are making lots of spelling mistakes in some of your recent posts.

Sir you are a charter holder and hence you are the role model for all the CFA aspirants like us.

We can make few english spelling mistakes as we are kids from non english speaking countries but you must be little careful sir.
