[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a male, in my mid-30s. I have no quarrel with unmarried , "professional" women. What are you running into, specifically? Maybe there is a generational issue?[/quote]

PP here,

I too came from a working-class background. I grew up in a small town in the south, went to mediocre K-12 schools and didn't graduate from college until recently (gradually worked my way through it over the years). And I just went to an average state school.

I make a modest living, working in IT. I often feel often feel like I am regarded dismissively by people in DC. So many people in this city came from well-off backgrounds, went to expensive, private K-12s and have degrees from prestigious schools, and are making six figures.

There is such a lack of perspective here. I have found that many women are put-off by a man who they perceive as occupying a lower socioeconomic status than themselves. I'm probably going to move somewhere else, where people are more down-to-earth.

I've honestly forgotten as why I started to post this, but there you are :)[/quote]
