[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be the minortity, but I agree with him. You’re 29 and just now getting your life together? You don’t seem like a suitable match for anyone who wants to get married and start a family. You will always be busy, and you’re unlikely to be financially stable. I picked a woman who had her sh*t together, because I didn’t want to support anyone. [/quote]

+1.  I think it's much harder to date when you're out of college or well beyond just out of college.  When 2 Jrs in college meet, they come to the relationship with student loan debt.  They find housing together and eat ramen while screwing like rabbits and getting drunk every weekend.  Then they graduate and find jobs.  They have no real responsibilities other than to service their student loan debt and pay the rent.  The meet up with friends, go to happy hour, and go away for weekends.  Over the next 10 years, they build a life together.  When she says she wants to be a SAHM, he agrees and they muddle on with life.

In contrast, the 29 yr old guy in this picture has a job, has a financial plan, and is ready to establish his family life.  He has money in the bank already and has started his retirement account.  He's been in his a career for a few years and has already gotten a promotion.  He's not so willing to easily share what he's worked for already with someone else.  He'd like the other person to bring to the table as much as he is doing.  OP is just starting out.  She's not in the same place as this guy.

Good thing he let her know on the 2nd date she wasn't what he was looking for.  I give him credit for not stringing her along until he found what he was really looking for.[/quote]
