Well sorry as I never had that it's what I want. It's the type of love I'm able to offer. I never had it as a teen to then mature to maturation love. I'm playful and silly. It's who I am. I'm not ambitious or serious all the time.

Mine are not about how much money someone makes or where they live, it's about who they are and their personality. You know what makes you you. A job and money don't define people. Your not a mailman that's your job. His hobbies and interests are who he is, delivering mail is just how he makes money to eat. Seems a lot of women are more interested in dating job titles then the man who has the title,that's wrong. And it's not their fault western society defines people by their job, not who they are. It should be the other way around.

Wish I'd been born in the 1900-1920s

But thanks for you on par as usual depressing posts to me

Don't give me the goldigger talk, because I obviously didn't say that and you know it. And you also know that I am right.
If you want that kind of love at your age you are free to try to pursue it, none forbids you. But as I explained most girls won't be interested in it and it's not because they are goldiggers.

If you were born at that time you'd go through 2 world wars and a great depression, I think.

You mean that that I send depressing posts to you? Geez, I was just giving advice, stop whining.

And girls have their own preferences too, just like he has his own.

The problem for a lot of young single men though like Sly is that we have standards lower than 90% of the general population.

It is very frustrating for your standards to be exceptionally low yet still have no romantic relationships while people with much higher standards end up in relationship after relationship.

Mine and Sly's standards are not normal.

Most men and women have higher standards then we do I've observed.

Seems most men at least want an average looking woman who has graduated high school, can work/be independent on her own, has 'similar interests', etc.

I consider that VERY unrealistic for myself and don't actually give a damn about most of that, not even similar interests.

I think most people do end up with someone they weren't expecting at one point or another; a woman might fall in love with an unemployed aspie man who can't drive and doesn't own a car and such, or a man might fall for a very plain and average looking woman he wasn't expecting, and once this happens people are willing to compromise and make things work, but before this happens and during the actual dating process people's standards are much higher and seemingly relatively set.

Those with low standards tend to have so due to receiving so little attention from the opposite sex at all, and those that have higher standards do so because they have more opportunity and choice.

All I really want personally is someone I am attracted to romantically and physically, they are attracted to me back, they live close enough for me to see at least 1-2 days a week even if it just means every weekend, They are in moderately good health, and do their best to take care of their health and hygiene. Mental healthwise as long as her mental disorders don't make her mean/aggressive I don't care if she has a million mental health problems.

When it comes to depression I am only moderately depressed, have never been suicidal, never self-harmed, never abused substances, etc. an try to have a positive view of my life so I can't handle a girl who's severely depressed and negative and drags me down. I've dated girls in this position and they need to be taking meds and getting therapy and such because I can't help them, not that ever thought I could.

I don't have a problem with someone who has a health problem they did not choose. As long as they're in moderate health, have a 75% chance of survival or more, and don't have to spend significant amount of time in the hospital (which would only leave me always worried and scared for them because of my anxiety) then I'm perfectly fine with dating women who were born or got into an accident that made them facially deformed, burn face victims, wheelchair bound, cancer, etc.

I never want anything more than what I am myself.

And no, I don't think Im better than anyone because I have low standards. In fact sometimes I hate having low standards. Makes me feel desperate even though I know I'm not.

I define desperate as 'Would date ANYONE if asked, without question'. I still desire compatibility and mutual attraction.

Have you tried? One can always make clear that you don't want to be their daddy.

Their kids will always till priority(rightly so) that isn't the relationship I want. I want it t just be the two of us having fun and cuddling etc. with kids they be there all the time and go on trips with them etc. I want the priority to be the couple and relationship.
I dont know if I ever want kids anymore.
How would a little long term relationship with eventually marriage work with you not being their parent? Impossible eventually you're have to take on a sub(can make decisions) parental role. It's unavoidable.

Probably to no. I want a youthful teenager like relationship. Just about fun, romance and getting to know each other. People in their 30-40s have already had all that as teenagers and want a serious settledown, plan for retirement relationship. I see them on dating sites and Craigslist . They all have really great jobs own a house or two and multiple cars.

About the kids wilburforce here above is right.
About people in their 30-40s already having had that kind of relationship, you are wrong. Actually people in their teens already had that kind of relationship, and and that's why you called it a "youthful teenager like relationship".
Perhaps they see that you want that kind of relationship and they don't want it, as they are not teens anymore and they've been there already. If I can give an advice stop thinking about teenlike relationships, as you are not a teen anymore as well. That time is gone.
Also why do you complain about women having dealbreakers if you have them too?


Most the women in my area seem to have kids, I even see 18 old women who have 2-3 kids. That means they had to start having them by 16ish.

In the 1900-1920 jobs were even more important when choosing a partner. That's if you were not sent of to war.

I get what you mean though why should you have to date cougars or people with kids? You have your own preferences and are allowed to stick to them.

People have kids at 18 in your area :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull:


There were a lot a lot more factory type jobs back then which is probably the only good paying job I could do. And if not I could have died for my country which is a lot better then the pointless existence I live now. I'm not even good enough to die for my country according to the government.

Yes lots of 18 olds around here have a kid or multiple kids. There's 16 olds with kids.

So by 20s it seems like the majority of women have kids. By 30s their teenagers
I definitely don't want to suddenly have teenagers.
They married their high school jock sweethearts and then 2-10 years later he leaves them seems to be the standard story

To be fair, I would have been perfectly fine with being on of the first Australian ANZAC young soldiers to die on the beaches of Gallipoli by Turkish gunfire (some drowned, I'd have hoped I'd at least make it to the beach) if it meant I had a girlfriend back home I was dating since 16 and I had a decent life.

Life was simpler back then due to lack of technology anyway.

Your not a mailman that's your job. His hobbies and interests are who he is, delivering mail is just how he makes money to eat. Seems a lot of women are more interested in dating job titles then the man who has the title,that's wrong. And it's not their fault western society defines people by their job, not who they are. It should be the other way around.

Wish I'd been born in the 1900-1920s

But thanks for you on par as usual depressing posts to me


In the 1900-1920 jobs were even more important when choosing a partner. That's if you were not sent of to war.

I get what you mean though why should you have to date cougars or people with kids? You have your own preferences and are allowed to stick to them.

People have kids at 18 in your area :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull:


To be fair, I would have been perfectly fine with being on of the first Australian ANZAC young soldiers to die on the beaches of Gallipoli by Turkish gunfire (some drowned, I'd have hoped I'd at least make it to the beach) if it meant I had a girlfriend back home I was dating since 16 and I had a decent life.

Life was simpler back then due to lack of technology anyway.
also bunch who lived met girls in Europe let's not forget millions of men died leaving millions of single women without men or great odds of finding one. A reversal of today's situation. In the us returning troops where given money for homes and other things as well


And women did not have the right to vote

Woman got the right to vote august 18th 1920
Could women not yet vote in Europe?


You said 1900 to 1920 which is mostly before that.

Nope, i hate war games. :P

Of course I know war is hell.

But there's a lot of evidence showing world war 1, the Australian soldiers at least were ignorant of what they were getting into.

All the propaganda made them think it would be fun adventures around the world to fight nobly for their country.

If you read old war letters soldiers of other countries fought the same.

Even by world war 2, you would have only known how bad war is if you were in ww1 yourself or had a family member die/injured from it - the government covered things up.

In england we are taught abot all the atrocities that occurred from quite early on. All about trenchfoot, rotting flesh, infections, people with ptsd, people shooting themselves to be sent home, experiments performed on prisoners, fields of dead people. War is horrendous and should never be glorified imo. I respect soldiers as it can be a necessity but I thing people forget how bad it can be.
