| You went on 2 dates. Consider yourself lucky and move on. |
| I honestly am skeptical of OPs story. If this is real, the guy is a laughably conceited idiot. This is not how most men think. |
Men (like women) do care if a potential partner is in a similar life stage. A big part of whether a relationship works out or not is timing- two people wanting the same things at the same time. OP will be busy with school and work for the next couple years- that doesn't leave a lot of time for dating. Or maybe he's ready to settle down and wants a family in the next couple of years. OP will have just begun her new career and maybe she wants to establish herself before have kids. Btw, there's nothing wrong with OP doing any of these things. It's just that OP and her date are in different places in their lives. I agree that her date was rude but his concerns were reasonable. |
+1 And to the OP, what about dating a guy a little younger than you? I’m guessing there is a 26 year old guy that is at least 4 years from wanting to get married and at least 6 years from wanting kids. |
Not income. The same socioeconomic status, but that doesn't mean income. Also, OP is educated and in his socioeconomic category. I don't know what she looks like, but he was attracted enough to go out twice. What he's looking for is status. And it's okay, OP, that you can't offer that. Why would you want that kind of transactional relationship anyway? What it all points to is that the guy feels that he's not in his peer's league unless he has a very specific type of woman. He'll be divorced within a few years after marrying. |
Many men think like that. |
Many lawyers, many lobbyists, many congressional aides? Hang out with real people. We don’t care if you graduated or not from Harvard with three degrees and contacts in Singapore. (Women attend Harvard, right?) |

That statement is just the worst derogatory thing any person can say to another.
The problem here is HIM, not YOU. Thank your luck stars that this idiot is no longer a part of your life. He sounds like an insecure snob. |
I like your attitude! What is a DILF , by the way? |
Yes, wasn't there a post recently by a man complaining or at least wondering about the same thing? That the woman wouldn't be available to him enough because she was in school? |
You would be surprised how common this is in DC. |
Dad Id Like To..Friend. |
| "I know I'm not in your league, but I thought I was doing you a favor." |
[b] DILF- kind of like a MILF, but a "Dad I'd like to F" |
Tough shit. Millions upon millions of handsome, hard working, well intentioned men have been shitcanned by women because they felt they were "out of his league." Now the tables have turned. |
