[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 35 year old male and work as a reporter in the city making 90K. [b]I don't see myself ever making some of the figures touted on this forum. [/b]I don't have trouble getting dates. I am a decent looking guy with an athletic build and interesting background. But the stumbling block always seems to be women looking for a LTR that are not happy with the income I make. I get by alright in DC and don't have a roommate and pay about 1700 for a 1 bedroom. With other overhead expenses,[b] that doesn't leave much for frivolous spending.
[/b]
I don't usually date younger women and I am looking for something meaningful and [b]I don't want kids.[/b] The kids aspect of course has some women turned off, but that is usually revealed early on. I don't want to mislead anyone.

The reason i state is that my last relationship floundered after 6 months when she, [b]a person making about the same salary, [/b][b]was wondering (mentioned it like 1000 times) how i can boost my salary.[/b][/quote]

Here's the potential problem I see:

Often, women don't want children because they are instead career-focused. You mentioned she was making the same salary as you, but I'm guessing she was also younger than you. If she's highly career-focused, it's likely she'll be making more when she reaches your age. Any woman who is declining having children because they want a great career is going to have the same expectations of you.

Also, the "frivolous spending" is going to be an issue since another huge reason for not having kids is that people want to do those so-called frivolous things- travel, events, happy hours, etc. So if a woman isn't career focused, she is likely choosing to not have children because she wants to do those things. It's pretty boring being with a guy who doesn't want to do anything fun because of costs.

It sounds like you're happy to just coast through life with no real responsibilities, doing the bare minimum to get by, and without experiencing much of life. I know you say you have an interesting background, but women want someone who is interesting in the here & now. [/quote]
